Most Likes Page: @mfb Approaching 5000 Likes on Physics Forums
- Thread starter Charles Link
- Start date
In summary, the conversation revolved around the "likes" page on the Physics Forums and specifically mentioned @mfb's approaching milestone of 5000 "likes". Some users expressed interest in watching the top 20 members on the page who have put in a lot of time and effort on the site. Others joked about the unfair advantage of being a cute puppy dog and how it may affect the number of "likes" received. The conversation also touched on the importance of the "likes" statistic and how it can be an indicator of the effort put into solving complex questions. Some users also shared their thoughts on a song referenced in the conversation. In summary, the conversation was a mix of congratulations, humor, and appreciation for the "likes" page

So 289 is the new definition of 'noone'? Is that what your thesis was on?Matterwave said:I only have 200ish likes...why doesn't anyone like me??

Yes, I proved, by using the Poincare Conjecture in conjunction with Fermat's Last Theorem in my dissertation that 289 = 0.

Ok, @Matterwave you have 2 people liking you. I was going to say "not bad! carry on", but according to your definition 2=-287 ...Charles Link said:

And since 289 is way better than -287, I would stick with the 289 likes and change again definition, even if you have to redo your thesis ...Stavros Kiri said:

@PeterDonis is now only a handful of likes away from the 5000 likes and 1000 points clubs.

Now he is just needing one more like to be at 5000. ## \\ ## Edit: And I see he now has 5000. Congratulations @PeterDonis !Orodruin said:

7 likes more until Orodruin takes the lead.
1060 more until Drakkith has 5000 likes, too.
Afterwards Orodruin can take the lead back by reaching 20,000 posts.
Then Drakkith gets 40,000 posts?

Based on post frequency I suspect I will reach the Einstein award before that happens ... In about three months ...mfb said:

Probably before Drakkith gets 5000 likes, too.
Well, I can still become ex-mentor (150 points), SA (75) and HH (75).

Whatever happened to Halls of Ivy? I remember him having 30,000+ posts some 10 years back. I actually remember when he hit 32768 = ##2^{15}## posts back then. Had he continued, he should be around 45,000 posts by now.mfb said:

I was able to get in contact with him several months ago. He was having trouble using the computer. He is missed here.WWGD said:

Welcome to the Sagan Lounge!
As it is tradition, the newest member has the task to clean it.

I see @Drakkith is quickly approaching 4000 "likes". (Now at 3997). Congratulations! I don't think there is any trophy points at 4000, but just 1000 more, and you will get some more trophy points. Perhaps that will then put you back in the top slot again. The Sagan Award (5000 "likes") is worth 65 points, so you would then be 15 points ahead of the current leader @Orodruin .

It wasn't even that long ago that @Drakkith was racing @phinds to 2500 and 3000 "likes". See above page 6, post 101,(11-3-17), and page 3, post 59, (5-23-17). ## \\ ## Meanwhile I see on page 3 that @berkeman got 50,000 messages at page 4, post 68. That occurred August 27, 2018. It may be of some interest that I recognize that date =August 27 as the day Krakatoa exploded in 1883. One hundred and thirty-five years later...jedishrfu said:
Probably though, you can take any given date, and in general there will be one or two or more significant things that happened on that day. 
Berkeman is nearly 10,000 messages ahead of second place @Doc Al , 12,500+ ahead of 3rd place @HallsofIvy,
and nearly 20, 000 ahead of 4th place @ZapperZ.
At just over 4,000 messages, I have much catching up to do.
