Congratulations!

Now you both have 3001.
That's the end of the series for a while, we next two are at 2770.

 

[Drakkith]

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.

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

I won't argue with that.

Numerology: I hit 13,000 posts and 3,000 likes on the same day. The difference is 10,000. It's space aliens I tell you !

One more post and @Drakkith is at 19,000. At least it isn't Friday the 13th. :)

It doesn't need to be Friday the 13th to be afraid of that slobbering beast that haunts this forum...

@Drakkith You are apparently going to need to post in a regular section to ring up #19,000. That one didn't get counted! (You are still at 18,999).

No worries. I'm just, uhh, biding my time?

@Drakkith I see you are now at 19,000 messages. The day is now complete. You both made 3000+ "likes", and @phinds made 13,000 messages. The President's lounge has two new people, so everything is in order. :)

Hey I KNOW who you're talking about here and I'll have you know that I hardly slobber at all. Hardly. Well, not too much.

We missed @berkeman reaching 3000 last week. Welcome to the newly renovated and expanded president's lounge!

@Mark44 and @Chestermiller are just 31 and 36 away, respectively.

Before long, 3k likes will be necessary to enter the most likes page at all ...

 

[jedishrfu]

I'd like to see a "messages to likes" batting average measurement (for populist postings).

Sigh. Its just like Hi-scores of yore all over again.

You get your best score at the arcade, and it's on the home screen for, like, an hour, before it's pushed off the bottom.

Hey, there's an idea! @Greg Bernhardt : Reset the Most likes List every night when you lock up.

 

[Charles Link]

Very shortly, it appears 18 of the top 20 will have 3000+. @Greg Bernhardt : It might be interesting to see the top 30 or 35.

Dave, for old folks like us that were posting LONG before the likes were around, we will always have a low likes to post ratio. WE know we're the best, that's all that counts. Yeah!

 

[mfb]

I'd like to see a "messages to likes" batting average measurement (for populist postings).

We have users all the way from from "1000 post, no likes" (stopped posting before the "like" system was introduced) to "50 posts, 800 likes" (posts mainly in GD where the posts are not counted) - but the difference doesn't come from how much the posts are liked.

 

[jedishrfu]

We need a stock split to make things more affordable...

 

[Charles Link]

Congratulations @Chestermiller ! You just reached 3000 "likes" and made it to the President's Lounge. The Physics Forums President's Lounge now has a Thermodynamics Expert. I think that is a major addition. Congratulations! :) :)

 

[DaveC426913]

The Physics Forums President's Lounge now has a Thermodynamics Expert.

Lordy, don't anyone engage in a debate with him!

You can't win.
You can't reach a draw.
And you can't even stop playing with him!

ba-ZING!

I see @Dale is one "like" away from being in the President's Lounge. Congratulations @Dale ! $\\$ And I also see @Drakkith has a birthday today. Happy Birthday @Drakkith !

Kind of unusual that a former staff member, Hurkyl, had some 13 likes with 14K + posts .

I remember Reggie Jackson saying , when he was told he was hitting .286 , some 2,000 hits in 7,000 at bats: " I've gone 0 for 5,000" .

I think they didn't start counting "likes" until about 2009. Perhaps someone can put a more exact date on that.

Could be, he is a former Staff.

At the time Hurkyl made his posts, Physics Forums did not have a "Like" option; similarly for many of the posts by the "oldtimers".

Oh, I didn’t know that. Cool!

You just made 3000 !

 

[Dale]

You just made 3000 !

Hahaha! That was your like that put me over the top. Many thanks

 

[WWGD]

Oh, I didn’t know that. Cool!

You and Albert Pujols. So close! Conspiracy? I think not!

 

[Charles Link]

You and Albert Pujols. So close! Conspiracy? I think not!

A google shows Albert Pujols just got hit #3000 on May 5, 2018.

 

[WWGD]

A google shows Albert Pujols just got hit #3000 on May 5, 2018.

Kind of close, though. How about a perfect match for 4,000? Bah, Pujols will likely be out of the game before 3,100.

They did a comedy on Mr 3000 where his points were recounted and he had break retirement to come and get those points.

There is a somewhat-similar story minus the 3,000 hits about Julio Franco https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/francju01.shtml who was , at least in 2015 , playing Baseball in Japan , at 57 .

One spot left before the member list doesn't keep track of it any more.

The "like" function started counting somewhere in 2012 or 2013, back then it was called "thanks".

And that's where Pujols' performance started fizzling... :).https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pujolal01.shtml . :)

 

[Charles Link]

It looks like the Presidents Lounge (members who have 3000+ "likes"), will soon have 3 more members. @jedishrfu , @ZapperZ , and @sophiecentaur all have 2900+ "likes". These three have all been and are very important PF members who have made many, many valuable inputs. Congratulations to them. After these three, if my observations are correct, we don't have anyone else near 3000 "likes", but we do have a handful in the 2300-2500 group.

Which lounge is @mfb in and how do I get a membership card?

 

[mfb]

Still no trophy beyond 3000 :(.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Now there is!

 

[Orodruin]

I think the new trophy should have been placed at 4400 likes ...

 

[mfb]

But then you wouldn't have anything to look forward to!

Now there is!

:)

 

[Orodruin]

Let me quote Queen:


That being said. It is most likely my next trophy ...

 

[WWGD]

Now there is!

That's not fair: I need to come up with some 1,000+ stupid jokes on RT , while people like @mfb get off easy by posting amazing insights and explanations on high-level Physics (among others) :).

 

[DaveC426913]

There should be a trophy at 1,146. Just sayin'...

 

[Charles Link]

@ZapperZ now has 3000+ "likes". Congratulations! @jedishrfu and @sophiecentaur are close behind.

 

[mfb]

Congratulations!
The lounge is now full!

@jedishrfu now has 3000+ "likes. Congratulations! The "most likes" page is full, but hopefully there is still room in the President's Lounge for one more.

Greg opened the Sagan lounge (trophy list). @fresh_42 is close to it (4958, needs 5000).

I see @fresh_42 is currently just 3 short of 5000. And he has done it in less than 3 years. After 7 or 8 years, with any luck, I just might make it to the first (3000) lounge.
