You can post a tweet and get 20 likes. Of my 120 wins, I'd be surprised if more than a dozen (if that) were from On Topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to do this when Villa arent playing of course. Playbook, pure playbook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 By far my most ‘liked’ content ever was in On Topic. I just posted a pic of Stan Petrov and family and thought no more of it. Logged in the next day and instead of the usual 0,1, 2 or 3 there were like 25, 30 likes for the photo. It all gets a bit Lord of the Rings then and you can be tempted to go hunting likes for affirmation. Find yourself cruising the web for pictures of Gary Shaw or Erica Roe. I think I’ve said it before, I think it would be better for mental health if likes were reduced, got rid of, or regularly re set to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted September 18, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2023 I can’t see at a glance the number of likes/posts that someone has. As such it’s not something that takes up much thought. I think I used to be able to, the running totals were by the username/avatar. And early on when I was first here I would use it as a sort of rule of thumb as to whether that poster had a reasonable standing among his peers while I was gauging the views on offer. “Well, he has 17,682 posts and nearly 14,000 likes. That’s pretty good, probably knows what he’s talking about. So if this guy thinks that Richards and Lescott are a solid enough defensive pairing, that’s creditable enough for me.” 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic, you have to find the fashionable thing of the day and say it smells of poo. Much more work involved. You’ve got to provide acceptable evidence that poo smells for people with wilful anosmia for one thing. **** the Tories. 1,000 likes plz. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Further to this, has anyone ever won the day with a terrible post or by being a complete bastard? As in a post that was that negatively received that it received enough crying or confused reactions to win it the day.

Seat68 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 There was a time when there were a whole load of negative reactions to posts made by an unfamiliar face to Off Topic that ended with something along the lines of I am off to play golf and I am considerably richer than yow. Those posts got a lot of traction but can't recall the posts to see if that won them the day. My assumption would be all reactions would win go towards winning the day. I tend to add the laugh emoji as pity, but I think some use it to say something is funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in a post that was that negatively received that it received enough crying or confused reactions to win it the day. Yeah I think I have. Well, maybe not strictly by being a bastard. I believe I won one day when I was the bearer of bad news regarding Keith Flint. Lots of sad likes that day. I noticed that I’d gone from 8 to 9 days won (or whatever) and so I checked what I had said that was so awesome that day. Bit depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted September 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2023 I could have hundreds of wins if I wanted to but I'm too busy playing golf and making loads of money to post that much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
