smokie36 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Apologies for the secondary post as I could have added it to the post above, but had to restart my computer because the darn thing is running soooooooooooooooo slow. So, from above what is also appreciated is that when you start a post you stay with it, read and reply to the interesting or controversial posts. Mind you ... the time it took to read page 4 of this thread ... I would like back again! Jeez I'm glad you told me that David because I was going to suggest you go and have a look at one particular member's posting history. I don't want to waste your time though. Let's just say its a bleak picture...devoid of any kind of positive uplifting personal commentary at all. I hope that makes up for some of the time you lost earlier.

kevjohn Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I check my profile fairly often especially to see who has given me likes. There is one poster that I would really like to get a "like" from but he hasn't done so yet. But I do understand what the OP means. Did you get it from one of them three? No....I'm still waiting.. but I'm please to see that my spell checker is back..... kevjohn, welcome to one of life’s little ironies .... or, as U2 describe it ... 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for. David48....... Just between you and me I DID get that "special like"........... but being on a public forum.....I thought it best not to acknowledge......so please don't tell.

tinfoilhat Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I hope Blether realises that at least 50% of his likes are in pity... And all you lot that concentrate so much on likes, page views, profile views and god knows what else is in there to make you all feel better......masturbation is a much better pass time. You young blokes only have one thing on your mind. As you get older you will come to relise that there is more to life. I'm glad I found Thaivisa. Note to self .......make sure my buddy see this post. that sir, is far too apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Not sure if it is a sign that people like you or dislike you but it is harder to manipulate than likes and shows interest of some sort. And when all last views are loaded up with moderators names probably time to re-think your posting strategy. or means it is successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Cough ... away from the incessant need to be 'Liked' ... One thing of note to the OP about the profile pages that surprises me. In the age of cyber crime and identify theft, that (assumed) real birthdays are displayed. I normally put the real year I was born and you might be surprised how many were born on the 1st of January ... insert real birth year. 01/01/XXXX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was page #4 which was hijacked by the usual suspects ... and I am usually one of them ... and rabbited on about the 'Likes' system. Oh, about that topic which you reckon is the equal to War and Peace then paste the link if you wish and might pick some more readership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning to the OP's topic " Do you check you profile page" I have found that I can find so much more by viewing others.
