Yep. Of the 85 people with 2,000 or more likes on NewDiS, he had the 72nd highest likes:posts ratio

If you don’t care about receiving likes, which I don’t, then this table means nothing though.

For someone who doesn’t care about receiving likes, you’re talking quite a lot about your strategy for receiving them AND ensuring they’re “genuine”.

And to be absolutely fair, one way to reduce this ratio is to engage in a prolonged, sincere and serious conversation.

None of this is tongue-in-cheek at all.

I mean, I see what you’re saying about the likes system, but:

a) it’s not comparable. It was far better under the old system to have someone reply to you with a colon D and then for other people to ^this the colon D. I don’t remember thinking "oh yay, 48 people have ^this’ed me"
b) @thewarn is an ATD and I’d be mortified if he thought I was acting like a high school bully.

Starting to wonder if sadpunk’s self-doing was a deliberate attempt to hoover up the likes; a false flag operation to create ‘winter III’ so to speak

However, since ^thises were never tallied it didn’t really matter if someone hoovered up your thises. Plus the accepted etiquette of the :smiley: below the post getting all the thises helped provide an immediate visual clue as to where “the goods” were when rapidly scrolling through the thread, whilst keeping the post intact in all its glory

wanted to start a ‘great reply club’ thread but no way to do it out being a massive braggart

The only thing that the new like system has over the ^this system is the stats.
