As of tonight, the COVID-19 Discussion Board now has more posts than the Amazon & Walmart Deals Board.

The COVID board is ~8 months old while the Amazon board is 8+ years old.

And since COVID DDF has changed from a CC, Travel Forum to a COVID forum. Oh well!!

He has a ratio of 2 to 1.
It's ok, just regroup with the marketing team. You'll recover from this.

Pay attention! It’s 2.666/1 now!

I'm sticking to my stand that members with just a few posts are not in the running. Nothing personal; it's just that it's not an accomplishment to say nothing really well...

Reminds me of a vort I heard from R' Fischal Schachter (I think in the name of the Chasam Sofer): If there were four people who were niftar without any avairos, who don't we mention their names at the beginning of Shemona Esrah? ("Elokei Amram, Elokei Yishei," etc.) Why do we say "Elokei Avrohom, Elokei Yitzchok, Vailokei Yaakov"?

The answer, the way I recall it, is because those tzadikim lived mostly quiet lives, and they didn't accomplish as much as the Avos. "If you go out and change the world, you may get dirty in the process." Accomplishing often comes at an expense, but remaining sin-free while remaining out of the action doesn't get someone a place in the first bracha of Shemona Esrei.

So you're saying that we need to discount your likes since you've been living the quiet life in JS?

If you contrast it against the number of posts I made in Just-Shmuze-style threads in the Covid board, you'll find that I rightfully earned the ratio. I posted so heavily the last few months, more than half my posts on this forum are from this year.

So yes, I went on a post-diet these last few weeks, but I don't think that should disqualify me from the running.

I'm attempting to reach 2,000 likes before I hit 2,000 posts.

Who wants to help? ;D
Thanks you all for the help!





Thanks to my legal team's input, I worded my post "reach", which I have fulfilled, and I don't have to worry about this:
(Now would be the time for the troublemakers to go and unlike the posts of mine they have previously liked.)
