I'm still not sure if it's a one time thing or if it'll be daily. This is only the first time in 4 years so I can't tell for sure. Last time that unions had the levels working properly I was like level 10 on this site.

Wow, and that's an even lower level than the one I'm on currently. :o Level 10 probably means you only started being active on the site a month ago. :P

Leveling up the unions is good since you have an idea of the "health" of that union. Let see if GS does something else for the unions

Yeah that was around March or April of 2007. I'm just guessing I was around there though, I may have been higher than that. I know that I was below 20 though...

By the way for those interested, here is the union guide. It shows all unions and you can find unions based on highest level and such to see what the highest levels are. We're the highest leveled union in gamespot... Link

Also it appears that emblems are working again. I hadn't noticed but we ended up getting the Division emblem for the size of the union.

When I noticed that the levels were had spiked and it seemed the glitch no longer existed. I was really excited. It was one of the last glitches I was expecting to be fixed, but heck, it's still pretty darn awesome. I suppose the big question is if they will continue updating, or if it will again stall out. I'm optimistic though.

I checked out some of the boards' post counts in relation to their levels, and it seems like the union levels are still heavily, if not solely based on the board's post counts. Also, the boosts from being union of the week, and even the one activity to post a union article had a profound impact on the union's level (a union of mine which got the boost is nearly as high in level as a union with twice the number of posts). So, I now lead two inactive unions halfway through level 4, and one union on the cusp of making it to level 6.

I see, he did appear in an old game Knuckles Chaotix but was redesigned in Sonic Heroes and the newer Sonic games.

My views are the same, however at the moment it gives us a great advantage in the sense that since we're now the highest leveled union, we'll be the first union shown in the union list. While it may not be much, it does help get the name out a bit more than before.

I just remembered something though... did this union win anything in the most recent union awards? If it did then that could've helped popularity as well.

Did gamespot finally end up doing those awards? I never heard anything about that. I remember that a year ago we brought the awards back and did the hosting ourselves in here.

Yeah, I think that was it. I remember there was an announcement asking people to go to a union (might have been here or the JCU) to vote.

I was asking that, because it's been a little while since the union levels were fixed from several years ago, so I'm confused.

That was this place a year ago. Gamespot had intended on doing their own union of the year awards this year so we never got around to do anything, and we have no idea what ended up happening.

For like the past several months there was speak of it from some of the admins. I'm kind of clueless though on what has happened since then, the original plan was that there would be a committee from various unions and a different union would host the union awards each year. Things were semi-planned and people in the committee would have at least known what was going on or planned. Then Gamespot said they would do it themselves and there was never another word about it again...

Well, I hope they plan to do something this year. If not then I think they should just leave it to the unions like how this union hosted the awards previously.

If nothing happens by the end of the year or sometime, then who knows, I may decide to take matters again. That's how you get things done in gamespot most of the time.

Oh yeah I remember seeing something like that, though I forget where it is and what link directs you to it, but I remember being on a page listing the required number of total members in a Union to get a certain emblem and rank for it. so I guess 1,000 is Division? Seems like there was at least one other rank (maybe 1,500) before the top one being Army.

More interesting stats, just noticed this union was first formed on Mitu's First Birthday on this site. :P Another thing is on that top level ranked unions list, there's a thumbs up symbol next to the Final Fantasy Experience and Headcrab unions, not sure what the symbol means.
