    What does it take to reach the gold level on codeproject?

    You can't turn lead into gold, unless you've built yourself a nuclear plant.

            Membership status calculated as follows: 1-4 articles posted = Bronze. 5-14 articles = Silver. 15-24 articles = Gold. 25+ articles = Platinum. Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver. Bronze is awarded at the beginning of the first 500 messages posted instead of the end.

                Don't know, seems like I have always been gold, which is (in my case) utterly undeserved given my poor contribution here. So I would not take the ranking too seriously...

                      Surely that is only a theoretical level, achievable only in special circumstances under laboratory conditions?

                            I think it's either 1500 or 2000 posts. It seems to be a little off, though. Either way, it's not that much. We just get to see the articles for approval

                                        When you are fully enjoying CP, contributing to CP to the extent of your abilities from a spontaneous and warm-hearted desire to share ideas and code that excite you, when you are finding friends and, at times, critics you listen to, on CP, when you give to CP as much you take from it in your own way ... and when how people vote your messages, or how many posts you have made, or what level of "metal" you have reached is completely unimportant to you ... when whether you are "guru" or "newbie" means nothing to you ... And some spark of genius and/or imagination shows in what you contribute ... That is Gold. best, Bill p.s. all of the above is why I am at the level of "lead" :)

                                        "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
