    What is with profile votes? Why the hell do we have them?

    Don't flame me if you're intending upon it. That said:

    I just looked at somebody's profile and saw this:

    "antiXdied writes... at 5:39:17pm on 8/16/07 Thankks for the votee

    XxcityofevilxX writes... at 5:24:58pm on 8/16/07 i love your hair!

    3304life writes... at 7:37:30pm on 8/15/07 thx for the profile vote. ^^ you got a cool profile, so my votes are up for you. =)

    bubbleking writes... at 4:29:46pm on 8/15/07 thanx man u got sweet profile too thumbs up



    Uhh. All but one of those "comments" are about profile votes. You vote me, I vote you back. Let's get as many friends as we can. I mean, profile votes. God, this whole myspace thing is getting out of hand. Whoops, I meant, FFR thing.

    If it were genuinely about the aesthetic appeal of profiles, there could be contests run, instead of a mutual exchange to raise a number on one's profile.

    FFR =! MySpace.

        If you really want to know why they're necessary, ask damanwithda(no)skillz.

        His philosophy is "I have more profile votes than you. People like me better and I'm cooler than you."

          Some people thrive off of votes, some people like the forum, some people like creating banners for their profiles.. Whatever floats your boat man.

              I've done nothing to my profile except scream at tokentards, yet I have over a hundred votes.

              People vote you more because they like you rather than because you have a cool profile. Ultimately, they mean nothing, so it shouldn't be interpreted like damanwithdaskillz has, but they're utilized to sort of give props, to give recognition to someone. It's just a nice thing to do and it makes people feel good, giving them and receiving them.

                Yeah, I always see the same people on the front page.. obsessing over having their profiles on the front page all the time. It's really annoying. Oh, and, since mcdiddy wanted a vote, I gave him a thumbs down. ^_^; omg aren't I so clevar?

                    Yeah, but even you, Organism, can admit that this website's population is made up of mostly profile-freaks. Whatever makes the people happy, I suppose.
