I've had the account since July 2012 but didn't start to use it until mid 2013 or so. I haven't used it actively for about 2 years and I was the fourth user to ever reach the highest user level. 9 users have been added after that, and it took me about a year to reach it.

You can only reach that user level by being manually selected by the staff. That being said, it's a superb account to use if you're looking to become an active freelancer due to its user level, reputation and the reviews.

1500-2000, so basically 3-4 years average earnings in advance. Thanks for the comment! :)
