zKing's insightful post may well go on to beat patuco's record of 98 votes for "Forum Rules" on the old forum... 8-)

Almost, but let's not forget emk's "30 days: How to improve self-discipline" (89 votes)...which reminds me, I better get down to some Russian study today. :)

I could do it too but it'd take me a long time. I estimate it'd take me about 6 days to make the roughly 50000 page requests to the forum's server I'd need to index all 112600+ posts in the forum (going at a rate of 1 request per 10 seconds), whereas emk could find this information in about 2 seconds.

What if you limit your search to rdearman's and emk's posts? Their admin posts tend to get the most likes.

Okay.

I wrote a little script that walked through all of rdearman's, emk's and iguanamon's posts. The results are in: they're nowhere near close.


rdearman's highest-rated posts are his end-of-year posts, from 2015 (33 likes) and 2017 (36 likes).

emk's highest-rated posts are his announcement when the forum was moved to a dedicated AWS server (36 likes), and his post where he explained why the forum was down for a few days (36 likes).

iguanamon's highest-rated posts are his long post with advice and resources for improving listening skills in Spanish (31 likes), and his much shorter post on one of the main differences between experienced and inexperienced language learners (awareness of the benefits of massive input) (33 likes).


IF these are the posts with the most likes in the forum, then zKing's post *is* the one with the largest number of likes.

Hi! I just wanted to tell you guys that this post has found new life on Reddit. Someone posted it and I found it so funny that I gave it the 'Murica award:

Can understand that most TV programming is crap in the TL too.


Guess I’m B2 now.

I don't. I wish I could be C1 so that I could feel called out, but I'm just not good enough to be C1. I'm just afraid that one day people will catch on and realise this.

I feel like a spy in C2 classes, that will get kicked out if discovered that I should really be 2 levels lower. :lol: Or like I'm 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat masquerading as a human. :lol:
