Recently I got awarded one of those badge things, from this site, apparently I am a "socialite". (!!??)
I went to have a look at what that means and discovered the following factoid.
I am one of only Eight of such people on this site, out of a total membership of nearly 80,000 souls.
Now apart from meaning that I'm a flipping outlier again, (even here!) AND "anti-socialite" would be a more apt description, it got me wondering.
Only one in 10,000 of us has as many "Friends" here as me and the other members of the socialite group...
And when I do read the wider site, most people seem to post just once or twice and then fail to continue except for a small cadre of regular posters.
Since getting "socialite"is it seems a bit of a statistically "standout" thing, I'd like to thank everyone on my friends list who by either asking for or accepting my request, made it possible.
If any of you who have added me, now regret it (and that's very possible) prompt action now, in removing me from your friends lists would:
A. be much appreciated, &
B. I'm curious to see if one can LOSE an "award" here...
I'm also curious to know if I am right to deduce that this site meets the needs of a small few of us, but is pretty irrelevant to the majority of it's members?
Here's to you
Learn something new every day though, I didn't even know we got badges here lol.
Congrats ^^
I got something the other day because 100 people were good enough to reply to some thread I started. ‘Conversationalist’ badge maybe?
I went to my Achievements page, and it laughed at me.
You're conflicted??
I have people congratulating me for this "achievement"!!
And for surrealistic humour I have managed to get a bunch of people to address me as "Your Excellency" which absolutely is the funniest thing that has happened to me in ages.
I think it is very much English humour to name things exactly in opposition to their actual nature.
It's so unhelpful to people from some countries...
we're not here to make achievements, it isn't a game !!
I find whole idea absurd
Though I'm fan of Picasso, so surrealistic appeal to me
can you see the conflict I'm in ?
