For Those Who Actually Give A Fuck....

greens and all that shit:

in the short while i have posted on td, i have noticed that there are a number of posters with an huge cache of greens.
very fukkn impressive......................
however, has anybody bothered to do a simple calculation:
divide your number of repo points by your number of posts, and you will end up with a ratio- the higher your ratio, the higher your percieved value on the forum.
this is only my own perception, and it may not even make sense to me when i sober up, but my perception nevertheless.

it is not difficult to achieve, say, a million repo points if you made two million posts: a ratio of 0.5 to one.
i would say that a poster had achieved more if he had 100 posts and had 150 repo points: ratio of 1.5 to one

on that note, doesn't what makes the forum interesting depend more on the guys who have a higher thread- to -reply ratio?

'kkin easy to reply to a thread- do it myself all the time, but i notice a whole lot of people on here who almost never start their own threads, simply post away on the backs of other people.
while the retorts and replies and shitfights are all entertaining, it seems it rests on the shoulders of a relative minority who actually keep the whole thing going.

for those who actually give a fuck about repo points, work out your ratios, then
calculate your own worth and decide whether you are a contributor or just a passenger ................

CMN has determined long ago that it's taboo to even think of repo.

You've just lost 3,400 virtual love taps. (that's what noony calls 'em)

He's so hip and smooth like that. :rofl:

As JB said, there was a thread done about this a while ago and the conclusion was that the more greens you have the more lovely you are. :la:

Well fuck, try this on for size.
To my AA buddies,



Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship designed and administered by a bunch of
ex-drunks whose only qualifications for membership is that they can't hold
their liquor and don't want to learn how. It has no
rules, dues or fees, nor anything else that any sensible organization seems
to require.
At meetings the speaker starts on one subject and winds up talking about
something entirely different and concludes by saying he doesn't know
anything about the program, except that it works.
The groups are always broke, yet always seem to have money to carry on.

They are always losing members but seem to grow. They claim AA is a selfish
program but always seem to be doing something for others.
Every group passes laws, rules, edicts and pronouncements which everyone
blithely ignores, members who disagree with anything are privileged to walk
out in a huff, quitting forever, only to return as
though nothing happened and greeted accordingly.

Nothing is ever planned 24 hours ahead, yet great projects are born and
survive magnificently.. Nothing in AA is according to Hoyle. How can it
survive?
Perhaps it is because we have learned to live and laugh at ourselves.

God made man and woman. He made laughter, too. Perhaps He is pleased with
our disorganized efforts and makes things right no matter who pushes the
wrong button. Maybe He is pleased, not with our perfection, but with our
sincerity. Maybe He is pleased with our trying to be nobody, but ourselves.
We don't know how it works, but it does and members keep receiving dividend
checks from AA investments. It is smart to be sober and it is much easier
to stay sober than to get sober.

A repo point quotient that you're suggesting (repo points divided by # of posts) would be more meaningful if the result was then divided by total number of views of one's posts. Those who post frequently on popular forums such as Teakdoor Lounge or Issues have a huge advantage over others who post on less popular forums such as Teakdoor Kitchen or Scuba Diving.

For the record, I don't give a f*ck about repo points, just trying to make a theoretical point here.

OK I see, that has to do with Jesus Christ and that sort of thing does it not?

I prefer to at look those that post interesting and or thought provoking threads as being a more valued contributor here.

And posting plenty of good looking female forms will always win my appreciation. :sexy:

What are greens? :shrug:

F*ck the greens, and f*ck the post count, and f*ck girls up the butt.
