Anyone know what's so special about the number 8388608? On some site I can't get more points than 8388608, it SHOULD be going higher, but it seems like 8388608 is some limit.
I thought if it was going to stop me it would stop me at around 64K (smallint in database) or let me to to 2billion+

Yeah but why would it try to stop me at that number?
Would it be something in their database? or their script? or something else?

I'll check, but I have a feeling that it's the maximum signed float.

The representation of a MIPS floating-point number is shown below, where s is the sign of the floating-point number (1 meaning negative), exponent is the value of the 8-bit exponent field (including the sign of the exponent), and fraction is the 23-bit number.
In C, floats are single precision
These formats go beyond MIPS. They are part of the IEEE 754 floating-point standard, found in virtually every computer invented since 1980.

Thanks. What's even stranger though I just found out I CAN get higher than 8388608 by using referrals >.< Thing is there shouldn't be a limit to how many points I can get without any referrals.
My other account got up to 8976678.000 (around 600K from referrals)

Probably an increase of your score by 1 is rounded down to the same number due to the limited float precision (eg. 8388609 and 8388608 have the same representation in IEEE single-precision float), while an increase by a larger amount will not be rounded down.
Using a float to save an entire score is dumb, though. Should have used bigints. Whoever coded this has not reached Satori yet.

Referrals give me 10% of the score of the people I refer. I guess they just calculate it once every few hours or something.
I'm gonna see what happens if i'm over 2^23 and loose a point, Hope I don't drop back down to 2^23
Should have my score over it in an hour or so, don't wanna mess with my other account.

I'd expect it to stay identical, if it's only by one point. It's like adding 300 and 1 when your accuracy is limited to two digits; in float notation it becomes 3.0*10^2 + 1.0*10^0 which is 3.01*10^2; rounded back to 3.0*10^2 when you take two digits. Thanks for the help :) I HELPED HIM!
When counting up from 0, 8388608+1 is the number where goyim start to feel uneasy that the number is getting too large and thereby approaching infinity, the concept of which they don't understand. In this case, the number was most likely chosen as an upper limit by a Jewish developer who wanted his gentile consumers to feel comfortable with his product.

I almost sniggered.
I know you're not a Jew, but if you were, I'd totally approve your racism. I support every racist.
