200 Quizzes and 6,000 Takes

+5

I now have more than 200 quizzes and 6,000 takes on JetPunk, so I made my first 2-in-1 milestone blog. Here it is! I am not one for making long and rambling blogs, so this one is automatically short in length!

My Journey

I joined JetPunk in May 2022, starting off as a minor user with some bad quizzes. I made a lot of mistakes, but the community would always politely correct them. Thank you to everyone who did. I made more quizzes and got better over time, sometimes rising up hundreds of ranks every day. I was soon able to get almost 1,000 takes a month and recently began to post multiple quizzes every single day. Some were hits. Even more proved unpopular. But I did not give up. My perseverance led me to become Quizmaker #2670, and rising. I have now exceeded 200 quizzes and 6,000 takes, putting me in the top 1% of users. I am also in the top 2% of users by points from taking quizzes.

Where I am Now

My quiz maker rank is rising almost every day, and I post new quizzes to add to the site that anybody with computer access can enjoy. I have translated many of my quizzes into foreign languages, to provide the same experience to other users.

Thank You Everyone

Thank you to everyone who took my quizzes. Thank you to everyone who helped fix errors or suggest sequels in my quizzes. I cannot name everyone, but here are a few people.

And, most of all, CardinalSin! Thank you so much for taking many of my quizzes and providing suggestions and corrections to help my quizzes become the best they can be. I learned a lot from you, CardinalSin.




I appreciate your help. Thank you for helping me reach this point.
Thank you so much, everyone!

And last but most certainly not least, thank you to the Quizmaster, Dan Hostetler! You built this amazing site and incoorporated measures that, weather intentionally or accidentally, allow everyone's quizzes to be seen by the community, which helped me get to where I am in such a short time.

I take and create JetPunk quizzes almost every day. Thank you, Quizmaster, for making this possible.

Your blogs are definitely improving, keep it up.

However, I don't personally agree with something you mentioned.

Users posting "multiple quizzes every single day" is one of the reasons why I rarely make quizzes these days. If only one user did it then it wouldn't be much of a problem, but when many do it, any quiz made is soon relegated down into page 2 or 3 or even lower. this lessens the chances of quizzes getting more than a few takes, and even less chance of a nomination or feature.

This isn't meant to be a criticism of you, just an observation of the way the site is. I personally would limit the number of quizzes a user can post daily to a maximum of 3, but thats just me.

Sorry if I seem to have gone onto a rant of sorts.

I agree with that for sure and it is also quite limiting to how many ideas you have. If you 10 ideas and you upload 3 quizzes a day, those ideas only last 3.33 days.

I strongly agree with toowise too, and I would like something. I'm sure you do that for very good reasons, but if you don't speak a language at all, maybe try to don't post quizzes on its JetPunk section, or at least ask for help. Else, our dear foreign sections are flooded by not so good translations. I can't say for other languages, but your French quizzes are sometimes kinda very weird, even in their answers.

Anyway, congrats for the milestone.

If you have an idea for anyone who would be willing to help me translate, I would definitely accept their help! The reason that I just use a translator is because I live in a predominantly English-speaking region, which there are a lot of, and not many people speak French, or any other languages, for that matter. Thank you for your congratulations. And thank you everyone for not continuing the debate about my last blog!

And by the way, did any of my French quizzes say anything offensive, or was it just strange and incorrect? Have a nice evening!

You seem to be learning so there would be no reason to continue talking about the subject. I agree that you shouldn't just translate quizzes and unfortunately I can't help you in any language.

Good luck :)

I agree with Maxibon.

Nothing offensive, but some unguessable answers since badly or weirdly written.

Okay. Thank you for notifying me of this. Do you know of anyone who would be willing to translate?

The first question isn't this one, but more likely: why do you want to translate?
