Most Likes Page: @mfb Approaching 5000 Likes on Physics Forums

[mfb]

Somehow @Drakkith just picked up 3 "likes" that I don't see recorded.(It usually says if someone else "liked" his comment.) I gave him one, and I gave @phinds one. He seems to be gathering momentum...

Likes in different threads.

There are trophies for 2000 and 3000 likes, but not 2500, and nothing beyond 3000.

 

[phinds]

Folks I am normally a very gentle dog and would never divulge embarrassing information about someone, especially when, as in this case, the embarrassing fact is an accident of birth. None-the-less I feel compelled in this case to inform you that Drakkith is ... ... well, it's just hard to say, but he's ... OK, I'm just going to come out with it ... he's ... he's from Texas.

Thems fightin words, @phinds, we all need to send you all a dozen yellow roses with thorns or a cow pattie in cookie box.

How about an indicator of post quality? - something like a measurement that compares total posts to total likes?

So you have made 20,000 posts, and 2000 likes...is that as good as 40,000 posts, and 3999 likes?...not quite, in my mind...

Tenure always has it's advantages, I suppose?...

 

[mfb]

Posts in the PF Lounge (like here) are not counted but likes are, the post counter system is older than the like system (some started with 30000+ posts and 0 likes when the like system was introduced), and likes are given for different things in different forum parts. A simple ratio doesn't tell you much.

The solution is simple:

Reset everything to ZERO!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't make me go all Remember the Alamo on you, phinds!

We all know you're all bark and no bite, phinds.

It's Groot!

I can't believe I just defended Texas. I was once an upstate New Yorker.

Ha. That's where I am now. I've been here for ~25 years but I do NOT consider myself a New Yorker.

And then there is a different kind of Likes superstar: @DennisN with more likes than posts! https://www.physicsforums.com/members/dennisn.393676/

(well, I suppose he has a lot of posts in the Lounge that don't count toward his post count, but still...)

I hacked the PF server to get that. Please don't tell @Greg Bernhardt.

Hope you can hack the banhammer...

Take this and let him have it.

Good thing for you I"ve had my rabies shot.

Why would anyone want to shoot their rabies?What did they ever do to you?

True. I gotten plenty of pity likes out of horrible puns within the discussion forum.

 

[Charles Link]

@Drakkith is just 8 "likes" away from 2500. He just may make 2500 within a day or two. Congratulations to him if he makes the mark ! :) :)

 

[Charles Link]

I see @Drakkith is now at 2498, just two away from 2500. Meanwhile, we now have 6 people between 2400 and 2500. :) :) :)

 

[Drakkith]

I don't want this attention! @phinds, take all my likes!

 

[phinds]

I don't want this attention! @phinds, take all my likes!

I wish we were still on the "thanks" regime. Then you'd have another thousand or so and I'd have a couple thousand less.

 

[Drakkith]

Don't sell yourself short, Hairy, we 're all thankful you're here!

@phinds Aren't you going to give him "like" #2500?

 

[phinds]

@phinds Aren't you going to give him "like" #2500?

Just did. Congratulations Drakkith !

Yeah, but it's more for my dog jokes and smart-ass comments than it is for contributing to physics knowledge.

 

[Comeback City]

What more can we ask for? No one does it better...

Besides, its a more efficient system than mine (saying something very fallacious and trying to debate my way out of it)

 

[WWGD]

But they are smart smart-ass comments.

Yeah, but it's more for my dog jokes and smart-ass comments than it is for contributing to physics knowledge.

And some of your smart-ass comments seem subtle compared with my juvenile puns like : " Harvard is the Square Root of Harvard Square".

Why would I decrease the current 1450 @OmCheeto "likes"?

This may be useful in calculating Om's current likes but I'm not sure what to factor in for Voltage, Resistance or Power.

EGADS ! And I though *I* spent too much time here on PF. @berkeman, get a life

+1 on that.

You the man @berkeman

 

[berkeman]

Thanks guys. BTW, I half expected some of the other Mentors to prank me by going back and deleting a few of my earliest posts each day just to keep my post number flat for a couple of weeks. Shhh, don't nobody tell them I mentioned that...
