Just FYI: Today's "Greatest" page looks AWESOME!!!
Of course, part of it could be a great streak of tremendously important news stories, but also they are focused outward on our real problems and concerns rather than inward.

Believe it or not, I may become a regular checker of "GREATEST" if this keeps up.

1. I know what you mean! I haven't really ever checked the Greatest page
until now because it used to be full of flamebait stuff. Now, it's more like the cream really is rising to the top.

2. I agree
I check it is much better. I think the people who were posting against the unrec button might have have a pretty dismal view of their fellow Duers.

3. WAAAH!!!! I wanna know what it looked like BEFORE so I can compare!

6. I'm sure SOMEONE'S got some screen shots or otherwise...?
Lot's of "Kick this thread or get 5 years of bad luck" type of threads, maybe.

10. I started a thread asking for screenshots - couldn't get any anti-unrec'ers to actually say...
that the pre-unrec Greatest was actually better than the post-unrec Greatest. They seemed to not want to discuss that particular question.

5. That's just the work of right-wing DUers, DLCers and Corporate Leaders suppressing the real threads

8. Except for this post
I agree with this post, but I don't think it is great. It's taking up space that could go to a post about a political topic rather than about DU.

:D :D :D

9. That's ok. It's something that we collectively can solve. That wasn't possible before.

12. Yep.
I like the unrecommend function and I unrecommended this thread. If not enough people agree with me, that's the way it is. DU collectively gets to decide.

11. no problem. it would make me proud if it was unrecommended into oblivion
because I don't think it belongs anywhere near the greatest page.
