    What Does OVR Mean on this Forum

    Just curious, I see a variety of numbers for different users. What is it, and how does it change? Thanks.

    It is mainly a number of things compiled like: number of posts per day, videos/pictures posted,

    post total, blog posts, blog entries, friends, and a few more things that I can't remember at

    the moment. Somehow they get a number out of it but it's pretty pointless in my opinion.

      You've been here over 5 years and still haven't figured that out! j/k It's your overall rating and you can see a rundown of all the factors that go into calculating it by clicking the "my card" link under the OS logo at the top left of the screen. I actually don't know how the numbers are calculated, but my best guess is that they are percentile based.

      Penguins : 1990/91, 1991/92, 2008/09, 20015/16, 2016/17
      Pirates : 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979
      Panthers (FB): 1915, 1916, 1918, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1976
      Panthers (MBB): 1927/28, 1929/30

        Thx to both of you. Yes I registered first 5 years ago, I think for Madden, but never came back. I was surprised when The Show came out and I decided to come here, to find that I was already a member, and for some time! I am getting old. So am basically a newbie here.

            People should put their OS post count on their resumes.

            Potential Employer: "Well it states here that you have 22, 000 posts on OS. It appears you spend a hell of a lot of time on the internet. You are so not hired!"

                        No you gotta PM someone and ask them if they want to OVR boost. Just make sure no one finds out...
