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

OrganisM · 08-18-2007, 01:52 PM

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

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

"

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.

Agreed.

PLZ VOT PHOR MEH LOL

**Xception704** · 08-18-2007, 02:05 PM

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."

**Synthlight** · 08-18-2007, 02:06 PM

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

Cheers,

Synthlight

**andili** · 08-18-2007, 02:12 PM

I....hardly vote for others..I do vote back
but yeah just 1 profile update= 5 vote flood

edit: i have to admit I'm a wall spammer

GuidoHunter · 08-18-2007, 02:35 PM

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.

**Nyokou** · 08-18-2007, 02:37 PM

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?

**Fantasticone** · 08-18-2007, 02:45 PM

All I do is say bitchy things on my random thoughts but I get thumbs up, eh idk pretty useless seriously.

Engler · 08-18-2007, 02:49 PM

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.

**pokelda** · 08-18-2007, 02:52 PM

Are you awesome enough for ffr?

**SaSSyBiiTcH** · 08-18-2007, 02:58 PM

cute lil gadget to spice up the life of ffr perhapz0rz.

[TeRa] · 08-18-2007, 03:32 PM

profile votes are kinda pointless

i mean, they would be cool, if....and only if people actually voted on if your profile actually looks good or not...

as of now, profile votes are kinda just like, hey give me one, cause i gave you one, and im whoring to get to number 1 profile votes ;D

I stopped giving people votes if they vote for me, unless i know them.

main profile vote whores i can think of right now...they are pretty much ALWAYS on the front page...or commenting in someone's profile "hey, i voted for you, hope you can do the same"

Tokzic · 08-18-2007, 03:37 PM

antixdied is hawt

Black Yoshi · 08-18-2007, 03:53 PM

VotesWhore.

=|

i dont really care about the votes...

insomniac_platypus · 08-18-2007, 03:54 PM

i disagree... i only vote if i like the profile. votewhoring is fine, but who cares really. its only what some poeple choose to do.

~HentaiXXX~ · 08-18-2007, 03:59 PM

I get many votes a day, yet I do nothing.
