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. :)

It doesn't matter. You give Phinds an inch, he takes a light-year. :-p

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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! :oldgrumpy:

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.

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! :) :)

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! :woot:
