[HeijoshinCool]

Just curious. What's the record number of likes on any given post? Anybody remember what posts got a lot?

Of course. That's why theblether is so bloody rich, didn't you know?

There is a list of the most liked posts on the main forum page just above current users list.

If you are so insecure you need to collect likes for your own ego, you watch the recent threads list on the same page. You then hastily put up the first reply with a populist answer to the subject matter. The sycophants then line up to bestow the honours upon you.

[Jingthing]

We could do an experiment here, and see if THIS post can beat the record!

Just saying ...

Sure would be nice to be as rich as theblether!

I want to be a sycophant as well , is there a subscription fee ?

For the longest time I didn't even notice that little column up there and I missed a few private messages as well. I would imagine you could easily increase your likes total just by agreeing with a lot of people, but what point would that be? I like an honest debate of an interesting subject and I usually learn something... even if it is only learning something about my adversaries.

[wooloomooloo]

Jingthing and theblether, you both appear quite desperate for adulation that I happily append your likes, even if I don't agree, to propel you both to the top of the charts.

Merit from who?..

FYI, they don't even come close to the record likes...

Agreed. Not that important.

You could if anyone liked you, but no one does.

Brilliant observation. Thank you.

BTW, I assume when you say "you," you mean posters in general?

So that's how you've done it. .............................

How rich might this be?

Is he rich in spirit?

In charity?

In good taste?

In humor?

In BS?

Even in likes, is he actually comparatively rich?

Is this richness not skewed richness?

Maybe by his popularity, here, skewed?

How much wealth does he have is another question,

And so how much wealth, then?

Seeing as I and tb have shared a few beers together l can say he is rich in being a good friend.

As for his likes, other folk do the likes for him same as for any of us, the written word attracts likes, nothing else.

[Dancealot]

I like to be with people of whom I think are good. It doesn't matter how many likes someone has, it matteres what they say.

[wayned]

An interesting addition would be a dislike button! Oh what fun!

[jackr]

^^ There used to be both, but the other was removed as people would follow you around and dislike everything you said if you dissed them--needless to say, I had plenty of the other. All very sad really and not conducive to keep people coming back to the site as much as possible.

I think this is the only post of yours I've ever 'liked', croc.

Isn't there also an auto-mail/message system for threads you might like so the tards get to be the first to post and thus have the highest potential for likes?

Yes, I got quite a shock when I saw who had given me one Jack!

Although, I always thought you liked me because you used to follow me all over the board to give me one of an other sort, in the old days.

When they tried that it was a shambles, predictably it turned into a real s.. fight.

[7by7]

As is the 'Like' button, IMHO.

If it were used just to show agreement with a post, then fine, I'd have no problem with it; saves all those posts with just "+1" in them.

But, unfortunately, whilst many (most?) members use it for that, there seems to be certain members who have a coterie of sycophants following them around 'liking' almost everything they post.

These people then boast of their own 'importance' because of how many 'likes' they have!

Then there is the various groups who simply 'like' each other's posts; regardless of contents.

Personally, whilst I admit it's nice to see that someone has agreed with a post of mine enough, or found it useful enough, to take the time to click on the 'like' button, I wouldn't be bothered one way or the other were it to remain or go.
