Out of Pod Experience

You Can't Nerf Me!!!

I find your post lacking facts. There is no close 2nd? Well if you did a lil research you would see there is one...and whats more is its male.

So it would make it queen and king.

That is ofc if you consider 77,781 likes close to 96,000 likes. Personally, thats close enough to me at that level.

King of likes.

Also, if you did more research it would net you the court of Alice Saki and those she appointed.

Silly op.

They can with 32-bit integers! You'll be hitting -2,147,483,648 any minute now.

I doubt that they would... but they could.

That was really disgusting. ^_^

Yeah. I love how condescending and toxic Tippia can be, always puts a smile on my face.


Although this thread is not explicitly complaining about LAGL, I feel I should tell you all about how this thread came into existence and developed into what it is now:
This takes us back to the summer of 2011: Incarna, Monoclegate and angry mobs shooting monuments in Jita.
Let me tell you of a time of high adventure.
When the new forums came up, many of us (including myself) were very upset about that pointless "like" button, since we thought that it turned Eve-O into f*cking facebook, and without downvotes, there was no real value in upvotes. Many of us came from anonymous image boards, and believed that a post should be judged by its content alone, any form of favoritism or karmawhoring would be a bad thing.
Since the whole mood was rather rebellious that time and shooting monuments was what all the cool kids did, we decided to do something similar here on the forums, only using the "like" button instead of F1 to fire. By flooding the forums with meaningless spacebook likes, we wanted to devalue the whole like-system so much CCP would be forced to drop it entirely.
See this thread as another good example: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=51698
When Destination Skillqueue found a way to automate likes via Javascript, we thought we had won the war. But oddly enough, the devs found it funny and didn't care about it at all - it looked like we had been the only fools who had ever given a damn about forum likes.

With our lesson learned, things calmed down a bit as we stopped nagging about spacebook likes on every occasion. And the "Like and Get Likes Thread" lost its purpose and was slowly dying.
But then something odd happened, something I wouldn't have believed was even possible in here: the few remaining posters in this thread ran out of toxic bile and smugness and out of sheer boredom started to use this thread to just talk about random everyday stuff.
The absence of the usual toxicity made this thread flourish again, and many new posters came and stayed as regulars, basically turning the whole thing into a squad or in-game-community of its own.
Right now this thread is maybe the essence of Out of Pod Experience, just an anthology of minor randomness, none of it probably important enough to warrant it's own thread even here in OOPE, yet still one of the most enjoyable threads on this whole forum.

There have been several attempts by now to create a similar random thread without the whole "likes" thing, since the very nature of like-whoring is probably keeping a lot of very nice people out of this thread, yet none of those alternative "random sh*t"- threads have been nearly as popular or successful as the original LAGL thread.
