I think that Ox and Cover2 have the biggest disparity.
I know I have a fairly large disparity simply because I barely read any of the threads most of the time. If the title doesn't interest me, I'm not opening it. And I mostly don't come here often during the offseason.

Cover: 373 to 20. 18.65 likes received for every 1 given.

It's not that.

URG is a good poster. So are you, so is Coach, so is L-Boy, etc.

It's not that.

The reason so many PF posters are in the bottom is because we post a lot in a forum where we're the only ones around. There's what, about a dozen of us that post there regularly? Let's be generous and say 2 dozen. Of that number, generally half will agree with you and half will disagree. So at best you might get 12 likes on a truly outstanding post. You're lucky if you get 1 or 2. Plus, we post there A LOT. Look at the top 10. Half have under 160 total posts and I'm the most prolific poster there (barely making the cut at number 10) with 2,990 posts. Look at the bottom 10. The lowest number of posts is 3,409 with half having over 8,000 posts. Posting a lot drives down your ratio. We might post 10 times in a single thread. That's generally not going to get you 5 likes.

In the main forum, you've got two or three times as many regular posters and they ALL love UF and hate FSU. A truly outstanding post could garner over a hundred likes. If you're lucky, you'll break 20.

The only reason I'm in the top 10 (barely) is because of a few posts in the main forum that got double digit likes.

URG is a good poster. So are you, so is Coach, so is L-Boy, etc. All the PF posters aren't at the bottom of the list because people don't "like" you. It's just the nature of where we post and how we post there.

I bet if you just looked at posts in the main forum, the denizens of the PF wouldn't be ranked so low.

I have 2302 likes, given 5752 likes. 0.40 likes received for every 1 given.
I'm cutting all of you off.
I'm getting robbed. :shakehead:

No you won't. It's always been in your nature to be a giver.

I'm certain there is a direct correlation between likes received and how well you are liked. Ox should have broke it down as Favorite Posters(top 10), Relevant Posters (the rest), and Idiot Losers (Bottom 10). The bottom 10 wouldn't even get a participation award or recognition if it were up to me.
