I survived 34 years with Olivia Wild and Brass knuckles :D

Lying just makes you seem weak.

Hmm... I'm disappointed.

Now read this, do not be condescending, I worked all day so i am a bit tired and was done with this back and forth banter we were having. I saw your point and accepted that. Then I made a point of my own, then you insisted on telling me your point again in layman s term so you think I would again get it. I then provided another point, and Again you insisted that I was wrong, and tried to simplify your point even more so. I gave little effort in my last reply in hopes that you would just say "okay sure, thumb for you" and things would have been happy hunk okay dokay. but NO, you have to reply with your patronizing little comment.

tl;dr I Was Fucking With You the WHOLE TIME......

Lying just makes you seem weak.

Consider the following:
From now on, you're only allowed to thumb 15 times a day, but can thumb down indefinitely, so lets assume you'll only use green thumbs on shit that REALLY made you laugh like a good community.

Therefore only the shit that REALLY made people laugh will get through. - In the end, there will be less that made it far, but the ones that made it far, will do really well.

So then it would be like nothing ever happened to FJ? I lost where this is going, so here is a thumb.....

Hmm... I'm disappointed.

That's what I said, "if not ENOUGH people thumbed up, then all of the good shit stays away from front page. "

no, our front page would be the same, it just takes over all less thumbs to get there

Less thumbs means people were less eager to say "THAT SHIT IS GOOD".
Let me explain, if EVERYBODY started thumbing up, then all the BAD shit would come to front page too.
But if not ENOUGH people thumbed up, then all of the good shit stays away from front page.
What I'm saying is that, if you only use thumbs sparingly, only the really amazing content would get to front page - of course it would have a lot less thumbs, but the output gets better.
Understand yet?

I got that from the beginning, sarcasm doesn't transfer well over the internet.

also a side note, if it took 4 thumbs to reach their front page, EVERYTHing would be their front page, For here when something reaches frontpage it means the large majority of FJ thinks its funny. Majority rules.
