It's the memes, man. @jkcerda had the best (and, worst) memes. otoh that's why he posts in choice locations like the cheese thread now. I try to remember that whenever I'm tempted to put up a meme myself.
Got a tip for us?

Keep in mind that folks ratios are probably higher than what you're calculating. Total number of messages for members were carried over from the old days of VBulletin but likes didn't exist for most of those good old days and I don't think the likes it did have carried over to XF when we switched over.
Yes, subject to the filtering I mentioned. PRSI and Wasteland are the 2 I always remember. Here's the complete list:
the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum
the Code Sharing and Software Promos forum
the Console Games forum
the Marketplace forum
the Wasteland
the Code Sharing and Software Promos forum
the Console Games forum
the Marketplace forum
the Wasteland
Thankfully, we no longer have the "dislike" or "down" button.
Not only would that would play havoc with the ratios, (or require the consideration and calculation of different aspects to those ratios), but - when present - it introduced a really unpleasant element, note and tone to some of the discussions, threads and debates on the forum.

What a cheap way to get more likes!

I'm shameless.
ok so for me it’s
likes 22040 as if flattery would get you recipes as good as jk’s
posts 16780 (messages 3801 + PRSI 12837 + Wasteland 142
ratio 1.3 kinda like pi spelled backwards.
Actually, as @jkcerda well knows, other than his good self, @Renzatic, formerly of these threads and fora, (and lamentably no longer with us) had also amassed a considerable number of likes while a denizen who dwelt here.
If memory serves, he and @jkcerda held the top two spots for "likes" when such measurements were first calculated a few years ago.
Amen to that.
Indeed, I shall lift a glass (a Waterford crystal claret glass, Lismore pattern) of Chablis (tonight's tipple du jour) to that.

Samcraig is quickly catching up.
Then, my friend, it may be high time to get to work again.
@jkcerda is aware. We keep commenting on it outside of PRSI which has resulted in him showing up OUTSIDE of PRSI and posting in the regular forums.
I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Ah, nuance. So 20th century...
I prefer meat to be medium rare ****hopes to pick up a few likes*****

Amazingly busy right now, we are picking up new machinery at work. New press brake and a laser , that is keeping me buried for the next few months , did two quick trips to Chicago getting things set up. I have to go back about 3 more tones for training and it’s going to suck going there during winter time. But I am happy to tackle this as it’s a new direction for my CO
Yep... I liked Chicago whenever I was there in non-winter months, once I got slowed down enough from NYC pace to quit practically walking up the backs of people's legs on lunch hours. The locals back then (late 1960s) were perceptibly more easygoing while running errands than lunchtime crowds I was used to dealing with back east.
Good luck walking towards the lake in winter though. I like cold weather, but they get some righteous windchill in Chicago. We'll bump your likes for bravery alone if you post photos of the lakeshore in January.
Doubt I’ll leave the hotel much. I’m lucky the hotel has great food. It’s in the Elgin area and Lou Malanatis ( sp?) delivers. GREAT pizza from those guysYep...

No, to be candid, I very much doubt that either "chasing likes" or, for that matter, "chasing post counts", are the root of half the problems here. To my mind, these "problems" may lie elsewhere.

.4 ratio. However i don't post to get likes and i spend a lot of time in the alternatives section of the forum.
Anyway it's totally unfair we can't stick 10k likes on a quality post that we really really like.
