I tried to create a sub, but the site says "you must be level 2".

What does it mean?

Level 1 is 10, level 2 is 40, level 3 is 90, etc.

Formula is level=sqrt(xp/10) where xp=Phuks taken+badge score

that's a curious level to start at.

Not really. It's a site designed by programmers. One of the first things a programmer learns is that numbers start at 0, not 1. To non-programmers 0 represents nothing, so it is generally disregarded. But from a programming perspective it is just as valid a position as any other value, so skipping it could be wasted space.

It also works like a secret handshake among programmers. Any time you see someone start a count with 0, you know they are a part of the geek club.
