So what do you have to do to be popular around here?

[XemaSab]

I mean, I've been here for like 7 years, and are there XemaSab appreciation threads posted on a weekly basis? NO!

So what am I doing wrong?

[LeftyMom]

1. Give me more tomatoes. nt

[XemaSab]

2. One of the big ones is almost ripe

:9

[LeftyMom]

3. Too late, the hornworms found it.

Ha ha.

[racaulk]

4. You have to post nekkid pics.

If you do that, I promise I'll post XemaSab appreciation threads every week!

:evilgrin:

[hunter]

16. I posted some nekkid pics here once...

... it didn't help.

[racaulk]

29. I think you should post them again, just to be sure.

I want to judge for myself. :P

6. Depends on who you want to be popular with and in what forum

You might become the most popular duer ever if you can organize gd to sing one single harmonious tune while marching forward together as a gigantic army prepared to smite our foes

The more common tactic, however, is to try to win wild approval from a smaller group: for example, you might aim to please "sewing machine enthusiasts in the lounge"

[Liberal Veteran]

7. I post depreciation threads about you all the time.

:P

9. Popularity breeds contempt

For every one person you are popular with, another will despise you. Personally, I aim for indifferent tolerance.

[flvegan]

10. I could tell you

but I'd probably get in trouble.

[XemaSab]

44. Would the words "deleted subthread" factor in?

:shrug:

[mainegreen]

11. No idea.

I actively posted for like 5 years in the lounge and never figured that one out.

:)

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Baloney. I remember all the attention you used to get

whenever you posted a picture of littlegreen. :hi:

[mainegreen]

14. Gormy!

Little green is now Boy Green.
All growed up and playing TBall and fishing!



How goes it in your world?

[Fleshdancer]

22. he is so adorable!

[Gormy Cuss]

23. And still as cute as ever!

Nice seeing you around here again, mg!


eta: was home in June just in time for the rain, but I saw a lot of old friends and the family so all was good.

[Pool Hall Ace]

26. That ball reminds me a lot of Dr. Gregory House's ball

You didn't get that at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, did you?? ;)

[7wo7rees]

13. Personally, I'd appreciate more pics.

[pokerfan]

15. Who are you?

I'm in the same boat. Six years, 20K posts yet I get so few replies, I call myself the thread-killer.

[Kali]

[Solly Mack]

24. Make check payable to: Solly Mack

It won't help you win any popularity contests but I'll sure appreciate it. I'll even start an appreciation thread.

[woo me with science]

25. Well, there was that time you told me you wished my cat would die.

And even after I killed it to make you happy, you still weren't nice to me.

:evilgrin:

[pacalo]

27. Well, silly me -- I thought you & all the responders WERE the popular ones!

:grouphug:

[abbeyco]

28. I am a guaranteed thread killer, so...

watch this thing sink like a rock. I've been on for over 7 years and am still at "table crumb" level.

So sorry to sink your thread XemaSab - I enjoy reading your posts! :hug:

[UTUSN]

30. Bwah-HAH!1 Don't ask. n/t

[Roger Floyd]

31. Three words:

Ok, that's just one... Er, post funny stuff in ATA. :P

[rrneck]

32. Brrast feed at Olive Garden. nt

[msanthrope]

57. Or post a cornflake-coated fried chicken recipie. Or pics of your pit bull. n t

[sakabatou]

36. Appreciate you? No, the only ones we appreciate are our admins.

They're like gods to us.

:P

[Roger Floyd]

37. Really?

Do they demand human sacrifices or something like that? :P

[Lasher]

38. There was an appreciation thread for me once.

There was just the OP and two replies and I was the only participant.

[sakabatou]

39. ...

[Recovered Repug]

40. Put out on the first date.

Worked in high school.

[rbnyc]

43. Be me!

Everybody loves me!

I'm just kidding. I felt like being obnoxious.

I will schedule a XenaSab appreciation thread for next week.

:hi:

[Sky Masterson]

45. I don't know.. I was ok around here a long time ago, but now..

I'm a stranger.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. times sure have changed -- good to see you, Sky

:hi:

[Sky Masterson]

52. God to see you too

:0 :hi:

[fNord]

46. misspell somthing in your O.P.

you'll get lots of attention

[fNord]

47. ha ha....but seriously....

i really don't know....... the only time time that happened to me was when I (very drunkenly, I might add) canonized the word "fuck," henceforth declairing it necessary to add the prefix "Saint" prior to any utterance.

and the appreciation thread was half a backslap and half a roast.

thats the biggest responce I have gotten in 4 years. By the way, it's pronounced: "fNOrd!" damn it! It's Greek!





but let me at least get you started............................

[fNord]

48. there, that should do.....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9773879

[fNord]

50. i rember when even mentioning a narwhal was enough.....

to have your post kicked 200 times....

[AsahinaKimi]

51. Being able to cook Kung Pao Chicken helps...

If not just a big platter of Buffalo Wings.

[LaurenG]

53. Most of the popular people have been done away with or just left

maybe you don't really want that. Besides how popular do you want to be - I think you are perfectly popular, after all look at all the cool people who responded up-thread. It looks like a virtual :party: up there.

[mzteris]

54. Cowboy pajamas...

or no cowboy pajamas and a teddy bear. :D

[Curmudgeoness]

55. We have started XemaSab appreciation threads.

They just drop like a rock every time. I don't understand it.

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

56. .

:(

[Amerigo Vespucci]

58. Single out the cool kids and PM them your credit card numbers

Don't forget the security code on the back.

:-)

[nadine_mn]

59. Sorry I am contractually obligated to vote for California Peggy in all popularity polls

I had a choice between her and MiddleFingerMom and since MFM confused me - is he a mom? a middle finger? a bald child with parent issues? I chose Peggy

[SwampG8r]

60. i put one up

only one reply and no one is reading it
i am heartbroken by this total lack of response
