Just voicing my opinion as I always do... what's the point of a message board if people are always going to agree with each other?Trueblue23 wrote: Fly just ignore it if you don't like it man.

This is a message board. Everyone who posts on it is an attention whore. I have no guise. My personality is based on humor. That entire quality of me is forthright and honest. If you're offended, if you think it's lame...that's your opinion. I have a difference of opinion and don't care for several personalities on here...however, I never attack someone for how they act unless I'm attacked. To me, that's rude, ignorant and childish (more so than my non-humorous sense of humor).Fly4Fun wrote: I think you're an attention whore who constantly needs to be validated and you operate under the guise of trying to be edgy... capisce?
I can run away from this site. I'm on other sites that are much larger. However, I like the people on this one...so I use it the most. I think of most people on this site as people I consider "friends" on a day-to-day basis. I have no reason to validate anything. This is an online forum, I take it as such.

****A play-in game will be held for the four (4) #16 seeds. If you want to be in that poll, list your name below. First 10 to say they are in, are in.

I really only hand picked 14 huddlers and most of those were the one's on FFT's thread wondering why they didn't make it. We'll do a play-in game for four 16 seeds. I'll revise this.
Post here if you want in on the play-in game.
I think mainly its because I haven't posted on some of the bigger threads like the Boobs one or some of the stupid count down games.

FFT's ratings primarily rank people by threads started. Which is why a guy like me, who has an obscene number of posts, but rarely starts threads, was an at-large pick, as opposed to more of a high seed. What you should do is start about 5-10 counting, who's on top, etc. and watch your "status" rise (in the rankings, you'll just receive contempt from me) as they get 100 posts a day.Keebler wrote:SnotBubbles wrote: Keebler...with 1,361 posts...i don't understand how you didn't make the Top 50 on FFT's list.

If no one caught it on the other thread, FFT's rankings were from THREADS ONLY, not posts.

I think FFT ratings are based on not so much posting on threads, but starting threads and getting replies and views.Keebler wrote:

Okay...well then let's hold off until FFT get's some better rankings. Not too many people seem interested anyway.

He said he won't do rankings based on posts because there are so many posts.
Maybe do the field of 64 by having a small group choose them, idk.

Snot, just do it, who cares. I went through with the "most annoying" contest, WAY after it had died down. I think that made me the most annoying, even though I didn't win.

Exactly. My ratings show how much traffic a poster's threads get, period. It doesn't deal with post quality, it doesn't deal with thread quality, it doesn't deal with poster interest, or anything else. It just ranks posters based on how many people view their threads and respond to them. That said, there are diminshing returns for "mega-threads," so a single good thread doesn't get someone up to the top.Heretic wrote: FFT's ratings primarily rank people by threads started.
