Good question. I sit here many times answering questions and then checking to see if I have any best answers. For what - beats the heck out of me. Maybe because it is relaxing, maybe because it is a game, maybe I'm just crazy as hell.

i don't care about them, but for each answer you get points. The more points you have, the higher level you are. Each level allows you to do new things, or more things. Like level 2 lets you vote, higher levels let you ask and answer more questions. Tbh, i think it's just an ego thing, to make people who live on here feel superior to the newbies (AKA me.)
