To caveat, I only want your experience with this website. Previous rating in clubs and other websites are to be ruled out. Also, please include blitz and standard in your answers.
0. How long have you been playing on chess.com?
1. When did you get serious at playing on the chess website? ("Serious" basically means, when did you start caring about your progression as a chess player.)
2. What is your highest rating?
3. What is your current rating?
4. How long did it take you to break 1400 or are you still at 1400?
5. What was the hardest rating barrier to overcome? (in multiples of 50; for example: 1350's, 1400's, 1850's)
6. Did you platue. Is there a rating that you just cannot get past? Does your rating fluxate at a certain zone? (for example: 1350's, 1400's, 1850's)

Here are my answers:
0. Two and a half years
1. Three months ago
2. B: 1010's S: 1350's
3. B: 1000's S: 1300's
4. N/A
5. B: N/A S: 1300
6. I feel as if the 1350's might it, but I have only recently taken my rating and progression seriously.
7. I find it much easier playing on a computer or on my cell phone. I think of some brilliant tatics and have played solid position on both (atleast for me), but I find that I blunder frequently on the board. Whereas, I blunder maybe 10% of my games if not less on the computer.
