Recognizing high-reputation members on Physics Forums

[WWGD]

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

 

[WWGD]

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 !

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".

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 !

Oh, I didn’t know that. Cool!

 

[Charles Link]

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.

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 .

And I also see @Drakkith has a birthday today. Happy Birthday @Drakkith !

Party time!

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 . :)

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]

Still no trophy beyond 3000 :(.

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!

 

[Charles Link]

Congratulations!

@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.
