Permanent subclass status here I come!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

1. I would have thought the Greatest Page did that.

[redqueen]

2. Oh Joy!

[whatchamacallit]

3. Ha, I'm already heading down the charts

:rofl:

[eleny]

4. The old status symbol of dubious distinction was being a thread killer

Now we can strive for yet another.

[EFerrari]

16. And this one will be too as soon as people learn how to use it. n/t

[MercutioATC]

5. Much ado about nothing.

The "Greatest" page was always a silly place...part mindless "rec this thread", part popularity contest, part flame show.

Does it really matter if we shake it up a bit?

[panader0]

6. I'm alerting this thread!

Just kidding. I've never used ignore or unrec. If I want to ignore someone, I don't need a button. Some threads I rec because they are well thought out and written, or they have info I think needs to be on the greatest page. Others for humor. I think all this hoopla over the new option is unnecessary. I'm aware that there are a lot of little feuds here, but truthfully, I can't keep track of them and don't care anyway.

7. You could cease starting threads unworthy of reading.

[kenfrequed]

8. Oh for the love of...

Look, I don't like the unrec thing either, but please...PLEASE post something that isn't about you. If this silly system is to be undone it must be undone by pointing out how bad 'unrec' is for debate and discussion and how certain ideas and topic related threads are being crushed by interested parties.


I am willing to agree with you, but this is turning into some kind of prima donna vanity thing.

[redqueen]

13. Turning into?

*roffle*

[kenfrequed]

26. Oh fine

Deep deep into that turf then...fine.

Still I usually like the diversity of posts. I just think that the unrec'ing could be wrecked by pointing out posts over time that have been sent to the dustbin.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Oh my!

[johnaries]

10. So, this is nothing but a popularity contest to you? nt

[MineralMan]

11. Oh....woe is me....

[Forkboy]

12. self esteem issues?

[WI_DEM]

14. Wasn't it always that way with the "recommend" feature?

Apparently people around here don't think they are not worthy or there posts are worthy unless it gets on "The Greatest Page" a page many people don't even look at.

[zorahopkins]

15. So You Are Not One Of The Cool Kids?

So you are not one of the DU Cool Kids?

I want -- need, really -- to know who the cool kids are.

I want to be like the cool kids, and I want them -- so much -- to like me.

Is there a list somewhere that shows who is cool and who isn't?

I'd like to know, and I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way.

[WeDidIt]

17. I am less than nothing

:evilfrown:

[Spazito]

18. So I take it the tattoo thing didn't work out for you?

Well darn eh!

[NeedleCast]

[whatchamacallit]

20. Okay, okay, I get it, I suck...

unrec is awesome! moving on now...

[EFerrari]

21. Isn't "Everyone sucks sometimes" an REM tune?

I wouldn't worry about the rec'ing or the sucking. Anyway, it's Friday. :)

[SeattleGirl]

22. Oy.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Yes, this is just like Jim Crow.

[KamaAina]

24. We've known who's not worthy for years

[CreekDog]

25. Must everything be the end of the world?

:wtf:

:eyes:
