I was thinking the same thing...one person I know in particular must copy and paste "Welcome to DP" in every thread. I'm too much of a crabby ass to think he's just being nice.
Probably not. I think a lot of the stuff I do at DP gets overlooked. Like the time I relentlessly refreshed my browser singlehandly bringing the forums back up. Or how I selfishly said Shawn if it will improve the quality of DP strip me of my rep. I don't deserve to sit up top of the rep board. Choose someone wiser and less quick to anger then me. Put someone like Minstrel up there. Let him lead us in the new year.
I remember that. That was just after jagger. Some people were saying Shawn was faking the stats but I said, no... that's HodgedUp... I'd know that refresh-signature anywhere...
Some people might have given up after 4-5 refreshes. Other's might have just used the F5 button. Still other's might have spent a few hours writting an application to refresh the browser, while some probably left their post and went and smoked or some other post leaving activity. NOT ME. I was going old school clicky style. I continued clicking that refress button with my finger until it couldn't take any more. I kept hammering way until I had used up all 20 digits and still I pressed on.
I am tired of those 'good thread', 'good advice', 'my adsense check is late', 'xyz is down' 'is this against the tos?' 'how much you make' posts or 'good job' posts and other spamish nothings but I admit to being guilty of those posts myself.
