Why should you 'like' anything here at TFP 5.0?

would it be possible to pull over the old hall of fame threads? some of them were golden words of golden advice from golden people who might've been taking golden showers

 

Agreed (though I don't know about that golden showers business). I would really like to re-read the thread with stories from the TFP member about his experiences in the Canadian military. I feel bad for not remembering his name ( I keep thinking it's something about a bear,but I don't know).

 

Could this be curiousbear
?

 

i think the most referenced thread would be somewhere between 9er's handy dandy getting over a breakup guide and the ultimate blow-j guide for the ladies

 

As much as I enjoy the photo threads, they're really not in the same league as those classic "Help, my GF is pregnant" threads.

Apples and oranges, I know, but I have yet to burst into peals of laughter over any picture of the sky.

 

^^^^ Yup

And I've been thinking about this:

Some forums can be modified so posts do not count toward postcount.
Might there be a way of modifying a forum so likes do not add toward 'like counts'?
I like 'liking' in the photo threads, because my 'Verbal' is for discussions. The photo threads are a change of gear into the visual world, a place where I like to feel I can, but don't need to weave words. Also, for me, liking in a photo thread is a different animal from when I like in a discussion thread.

As a general point about HoF candidates,I do recognise that choosing via individual submission and decision is less streamlined, and Cyn's reasons for seeking to reorganise how the hall of fame works make sense. I would like to offer the following: it occurs to me that 'Hall of Fame' material could be a different class from high 'like-count' material. 'Like' is about posts. For example, SF's post in the 'five dates' thread is, IMO a classic post. I'd say Hall of Fame is about a synergy which 'Illuminates' a thread. For example, that Desert Thingy Gun thread, IMO, derived it's immortality from the relationship between posts rather than from the individual posts, which did not need to be 'likeable' on their own terms.

Now, I have some reading to do. Thanks! I should have searched the old site.
