If I was good at photoshop id have Elaine running out of the bathroom holding a whole bunch of likes.
I got a lot of red messages from people on the rep system. good times At the time I liked the reputation system with green dots followed by green bars. I liked the messages that came with them too. But in a way, I’m glad they’re gone. Having lots of green dots and a visible post count is almost like a superficial status symbol.
I also got lots of red dots. but they were generally from the same bunch of losers who would just neg rep for the sake of neg rep. Once you had a hater, all your posts were neg reps lol.
I have just 'Liked' you yet again Irm. The feelings for you are obviously getting stronger as a Cyber Babe. Can I be your Cyber Sugar Daddy?
And the same goes for you Gal: I have just 'Liked' you yet again Candy. The feelings for you are obviously getting stronger as a Cyber Babe. Can I be your Cyber Sugar Daddy? PS. And I don't want you two arguing over this. I could easily be a Sugar Daddy to the pair of you! After all girls. I have the money if you have the time! Said a old man to a good looking girl “Well, I’ve been around this big wide world See that home on a hill honey well that’s mine I’ve got the money and if you've got the time” I’m not too old to cut the mustard anymore I can still get around like I did before So come along my sweet, sweet hone I’m an old, old man just searching for fun What I can do now most young men can’t There’s not a town that this boy can’t paint I can make all the clubs just any old night I may be a little older but I’m doing all right Don’t take me wrong I just want to have fun Have someone…
You like me and i'll like you. You massage my ego and i'll massage yours. :/ It would be far more interesting if the forum only had a dislike button.
I don't know. I get what you're saying and occasionally I have felt a bit uncomfortable about the Like thing.. I remember Ged made a thread last summer about not using it. At the same time, we're humans using a website to bond with each other and sometimes it's really just that in real life I would smile or make some other non-verbal communication. It's important to me that I "like" things said by people I don't like so much, if the post is one I would like by someone I liked.. so I would like to say my "likes" are always genuine to the post and not just a way of targeting specific people to make feel good.
That's fair-minded of you Driftrue. Though I find the people here who I don't like I rarely like their posts. But the reason I don't like them is because of what they say, so that in itself means I'm not going to like most of their posts. It is stroking someone's ego to like their post, as @Total Darkness mentioned. But we do all have egos, and that's not a bad thing, it keeps us going through life. I think having an ego is healthy and human. If you're off the scale one way or the other is when it becomes a problem.
