That make more sense?
I’m noticing a pattern: Either they’re a member of VEX/REC or they only posted once this month.
I’m the underdog of the regulars. Give me ten years, I bet you guys will have a life by then 
wdym? We already do. 
5.7 … solely because of cursed images
Speak for yourself, I’ve been active on the forums for like three months and have all that stuff

Sorted by likes_received ^ 2 / likes_given:
Near the bottom of the list, users are more likely to receive likes than give them, they’re the most ‘exclusive’ to receive a like from. realratio is likes_received/likes_given.

(this is all from 18d old data because I don’t feel like scraping it again)
Go touch grass please
Can’t, I’m allergic and will brake out in a rash if I do.
Guess I will have to stay inside an over analyze forum statistics.
Sorry David. I get itchy. No can do
When the greatest philosophers of our time ask me:
“Illyana, do you think mathematics was discovered or invented?”
I tell them the story of the vex forum, where young inquisitive minds could always find a metric that would put each of them on top of the list.
They ponder in silence, then ride into sunset, leaving me alone, gazing at the stars, thinking about my home planet…
i too gaze at the stars above and ponder the earth below, from time to time.
I have begun my quest to take the top spot in likes_received / (likes_given) ^2, by liking a bunch of @RoboCatz and @Illyana’s posts while simultaneously posting a large number of highly unpopular opinions which I expect will get very few likes.
Some of my next posts include:
“Why flex wheels should be discontinued immediately”
“Why DRow should never be allowed to join the GDC”
“An irrefutable case for the immediate ban of all robotics technology”
(Links coming soon! And maybe more posts from the plan, too!)
FAQ's
- Why am I making posts which will get no likes instead of just not making those posts at all, whixh will guarantee I get zero likes on posts I haven’t made? Click the links to find out!
- When will the links be added? Once I have time to create the posts I will link to, or maybe sooner if I add the links first.
* Why? Why not? For a longer answer, click here.
Why? Why not? Are you asking both questions or are am I asking the second one? Aren’t I asking both questions? Is this an appropriate place to use ain’t as a contraction for “am not I?” How do you punctuate a question that ends with another question that’s in quotation marks? Is it appropriate to punctuate a sentence incorrectly in front of students? Should everyone just not phrase written questions in such a way that the question ends with another question that’s in quotation marks? Should I just remove the second question mark because that’s more likely to be the correct answer? Did I already do that? Will we ever get an end to these endless questions? Not if they’re truly endless.
- Did you have another question planned for the 3rd spot initially? I think so, but I forgot what it was.
- Are you open to receiving likes even though you’re trying to reduce the number of likes tou receive? Yes, since the more likes I receive, the more likes I will have received, and that’s a guarantee, as opposed to my other plan, which is not guaranteed to work.
- When the post is revised, would I need to read it again to check for changes? No: I will add a footnote listing what sections have changed.
Edit 1:
FAQ's Part 2
- No one has asked these questions, so how are they frequently asked? I asked them once and no one else has asked any questions about this post, so that means the questions I have listed are the most frequently asked questions, and as for being frequently asked instead of still rarely asked, they were asked infinitely more frequently than the others that could have been asked. Though I guess they were still only rarely asked since I was still the only one who asked them.
- Have the links been added? At least one of them has been. I might edit 1 or 2 of the posts later, though, if I have time in the 4 hours remaining. [Edit: All 3 links have been added. There’s a chance I might add more articles, but I still have only about 4 hours left so I might save the other links for another post.]
Edit 2:
Links have been added!
thanks brian wonderful post

We’re on the internet and the forums are where virtual likes exist. These likes equate to no tangible things, so I think you shouldn’t worry too much about your post-to-like ratio unless your posts outnumber likes.
Prolly 15 I dont think I could be friends with someone with stats worse than that
That pic’s waaaaay different if you’ve seen an x-ray of a newborn’s skull with all the hidden teeth.
I get a shockingly average 1.55, im so popular wow
Mine was negative last night, but now it’s null. I think my tracker might not be done yet.
2.08 likes per post
average, i guess
