I wholehaertedly agree with Tin on this. I could be wrong, but at this point, it just seems like a thing where those top posters can go and look at it and feel special and supieror. Let it go, and let it die. Solves the stupidity, and prevents more bitching as well.
The only real bitching here, is all the people who seem to have a problem with the mosaic being made.

Also, the poll results are pretty obvious.[/QUOTE]

I'm not bitching, for the record. My vote is "meh" for, and "meh" against.

perhaps it makes her feel superior . . . but I'd lose my bet so it can't be that. I'm a winner. Really, I am.
 
nah..whining is that sound a girl makes when I tie her up, put the ball gag in, and then go out for a beer.

Look back at my posts. I never complained about the rogue's gallery. My level of input rose no higher than "meh, who cares".

I think you're letting your deep personal attachment to being one of the 'cool kids' affect how you're reading my posts ;)

I think you think these posts are about you. :slywink:

There it is, right there.

What have I done?!?

Wow, what have I wrought?

I made the first rogue's gallery back in the halfpixel forums simply because I thought it would be pretty cool (I think I've still got the original .psdfile somewhere on my old computer.) The general response was "huh. that's pretty cool." Stienman decided to make the creation of rogue's galleries into something of a tradition, which was also generally thought to be pretty cool.

And now, after I leave for a while, people start getting all uptight about potential popularity contests and users getting offended. The thing is, this is the internet. Some people will get offended no matter WHAT you do. There's no point in worrying about that too much.

So, my opinion? Make the rogue's gallery, Stienman.

It's pretty cool.

Thinking about it, I wonder if there's a mod that can generate vBulletin stats akin to mircstats.

It could have like, Top posters, Most profile views, Most active topics, Most topic starters, something like that.. hmmm..
So does this mean we'll need to come up with a mathematical formula that encompasses all of these variables, so as to calculate a rogue's gallery worthiness quotient?

Because that would be awesome.

It'd be more than awesome. It would be mathtacular. Maybe even statistarific

Okay, so I'm thinking, if the rogue's gallery worthiness quotient is "Q"
and a user's:

number of posts = N
number of topics started = S
total number of posts in topics started = T
profiles views = V

Then the formula should be something like:
Q= 15V + N/2 + (1.5T)/S

What say you?

I say I wish I started the Say Something About the Previous Poster thread and none others, posted prodigiously in them, and directed bots to my profile page.

I did none of those things, so I'm a'gonna lose this popularity mathturbation.

Well, you should have thought ahead, shouldn't you?

(or we could just entirely ignore the hall of meh).
 
I like the popularity contest idea. Even though I don't post as much as some people here, I have a powerful campaigning weapon: boobs. They've won me votes before, and they will win me votes again.

Dastardly.

Thats what you are.

S should be multiplied by the topic's rating.

Ooh, nice idea. So, how to work that in...

Math always solves everything. This way, no one thing can determine Rogues Gallery placement. I might also suggest the addition of the # of people on your friends list to it, and possibly some aspect of the social groups, perhaps the #of members in social groups you started.
 
It was cool being on it (and a little embarrassing once I hit the top 5....) but I wouldn't be heartbroken if it never happened again. If another one was made, I would appreciate the time and effort put into such an endeavor, but I don't think we really need it.
