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

@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 ! :) :)

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.

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

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

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

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... :smile:

On the "Most Likes" page, I see that @Drakkith and @phinds are once again right next to each other as they make their way to 3000 "likes" which is labeled as "Hello Mr. President" in the Physics Forums Trophy Awards. Congratulations and thank you to them and all those who have reached or are about to reach this mark. :)
 
  • #74
That trophy will be given out quite often in the near future. @jim hardy and @davenn have 2950+ already, and @vanhees71 and @Orodruin have more than 2900 as well. The latter will probably be the first to get more than 1000 trophy points with the additional 60.

It looks like it will soon have 4 more members. Maybe they should put in some tennis courts or a swimming pool.

The tennis court and the swimming pool area will need extensions as well, but that is an independent issue. Maybe we can sacrifice one hole of the golf court.

Congratulations @vanhees71 ! You made it to the President's lounge (3000 "likes"). I've got a long way to go, but I'm hoping to join you there in about 6 or 7 years. :)

Thanks! I'm honored. I hope at the president's lounge there's no Trump to call everything I post "fake news" ;-)).

I wouldn't take it personally. All science is fake news for this administration.

Let's stay away from politics here.

@phinds and @Drakkith, who were in a race at 2500 likes already, are still close together, they have more than 2950 now.

Congratulations to @phinds and @Drakkith who should both be in the President's lounge with 3000 "likes" very shortly. phinds presently has 2999 "likes", and Drakkith has 2994, so it looks like they might arrive there on the same day. :)

Well, @Drakkith I found a few of your posts that I could genuinely like and I kicked you over the finish line. It was hard, 'cause you're really not all that likeable. :-p

I on the other hand am a cute, adorable, puppy dog.
