cuz me brain just went in the gutter.
Yeah, and you can also get points for starting a lot of threads. Lol.
JR should have a lot more trophy points then oy vey!
There are birthday trophies, anniversary trophies, but I just checked and I was mistaken, no starting thread trophies. However, if anyone thinks that some of these people who have accumulated a lot of trophy points are quality posters, then they need a brain scan, seriously.
Of course, some of them ARE good posters, but not all of them. Just check profiles and you shall see what I mean.
I agree; it seems pretty much a bullshit value system. Looking over that list of "notables", one sees some that are very notable, others very forgettable, some longtime posters, some short-time -- it's all over the map. If it's gauging posters' "worth" by that formula as spelled out, as it appears, then clearly the premise isn't matching the conclusion.
Or to put it another way, the fact that XYZ company sells the most widgets is in no way a measure that XYZ's widgets are the "best", or any good at all.
Personally I don't post for the purpose of amassing numbers of "thanks" -- I post to express ideas. If everyone was agreeing with those ideas, I'd figure I was doing something wrong.
Now check the damn "thanks" thingy right over there -------------------------------------→

Perhaps it is because you make the mistake of thinking the system should value your opinion more than anyone else's.
It isn't a perfect system ... And simply rates things on what others think and respond to.
In a manner of input alone ... It gages what gets positive input ... Not your particular opinion of the input.
If you think it is a contest for a Pulitzer Prize ... It isn't ... It is only a reflection of what people go through the trouble to read and like.

This one for example. Have yet to see anything intelligent out of his pie hole. All he does is sit his fat cellar dwelling arse in the Flame Zone and insult other posters. Yeah, that's some REAL quality. Now I suppose it will go back to it's hole and start more threads.
"pie hole".
That's scary.
My daughter and I, we just baked a pie a couple of days ago. You've not lived until you've had really good North German Rhubarb pie, yesirree.
Now, to mention a Homo Sapiens having a "pie hole" is an insult to Rhubarb Pies all over the world.
I thusly object!
Please replace "pie hole" with "little debby orifice".
Thank you,
the pie police.
I'll keep that in mind for the future. Did not mean to insult the pies.
Cuz I love to get my mouth around a delicious pie! Rhubarb pie!
My favorites, apple and cherry.
Jeff Davis!
The staff, admin and owners of USMB just sent me this!

Two of our female members were just awarded this trophy:
It is a magnum mysterium, but they seem very, very happy with it.
