Who are the most ignored users at FOFC?
 

I've been asked this question quite a few times, so here's the answer:

rnk	username
1	Mizzou B-ball fan
2	Bubba Wheels
3	mrskippy
4	Anthony
t-5	JonInMiddleGA
t-5	mrbuttercupjr
t-5	RendeR
t-5	MrBigglesworth

Among the sadder things about that is that I don't even know who one of them is.

Yeah, who is mrbuttercupjr?

I was trying to figure out who mrbuttercupjr was. He was the one I don't recognize.

Does it say by how many people someone's being ignored? That would be kind of interesting.

Looks like we all had the same problem there, so I checked my own ignore list.

Among the 63 names on it is a "mrbuttercup" so I'm assuming that "jr" was an alias that came along after a boxing or banning or something.

IWS wasn't TOO far off on this one...

I don't have an ignore list. But I sure hope I'm on one!

Initial read, I thought it said "ignorant."

Now what's the over/under on a parody thread that strikes gold? :D

haha that's great.

i think this speaks to probably how few people have anybody ignored

So does anyone know the story behind Hell Atlantic leaving? I love it, but I am curious about his disappearance.

I'd bet the number is considerably higher than you'd think, with a significant number of people using it the way I do for some people, a chance to be more selective about when you do or don't have to deal with someone's post. There's a number of people on my list that I do respond to, but having them there makes it easier to pick & choose when I do so.

Yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. There's still a lot of people that respond to my posts despite my #1 ranking.

(holds championship trophy over his head)

I won't be ignored!

This isn't an all-inclusive list. Jon says he has 63 people on ignore alone. This is just a top 5.

Ben,

Just curious. Is the ignore feature name specific or profile specific? In other words, if I changed my name to Syracuse Lacrosse Fan, would everyone have to 'ignore' that name as well or does it use a profile ignore, regardless of what ID I use on my sign-in.

I'm not changing it either way. Just wondering how it works.

Dammit!

I would assume it links on to your member number.

So can we get the 'Other Votes' listing for those who didn't make the rankings? :)

I wonder if for Jon most threads have like 10 total posts. :D

If I had a dollar for every time a member of this board tried (and failed) to ignore a moderator............

am i on your list?? :(

If he doesn't respond to you... you are.

For comedic purposes, he should not respond to this. That would leave everyone wondering if he saw the question at all or not! :)

You did not make his top 63 judging from the fact that he responded to you. :(

Or maybe, just maybe, he now has a list of 64! :D

No, but your kiss is.

You honestly aren't.

And that's the only question I'm gonna answer on anybody's status, nothing good would come of it at all (you get a freebie 'cause you asked first ;) )

LOL, if only I had thought that fast. I pondered not answering but not for that reason.

muahahahahaha.

I am a little surprised that JiMGa is on anyone's list. Unless you just can't stand hearing opinions that are different from yours, his posts are always well written and reasonably argued.

Damn you. Damn you all to hell.

You just planted that f'n song in my head.

IGNORED.

lol - i kinda figured i wasn't from the long back-and-forths that we've had (mostly surprisingly civil i'd say). particularly the one recently where it was you+me divying up the US for seccession. was more being funny.

And now I know that I also am not on your list. BWAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'm a little surprised I'm not on the list. I guess I don't post that much and I tend to avoid the political threads, but it's still disappointing. Is having different political beliefs and being really vocal about it the main reason people put other posters on ignore?

I agree with this. unless you're one of the people he has gone off on and you toss him on there temporarily to cool down

Chubby,

I think you answered your own question.

I already knew he was a sad individual, but this is truly pathetic. Out of the entire interwebs, we choose the virtual communities we want to lurk in or be a part of. And even in the community he selected, he still feels the need to spend the effort to ignore/reject 63 memebrs.

I get the feeling that in 20 years JiMGa's signature while in heaven will read "Behind enemy lines in heaven" and he will have god on his ignore list. :(

Wow, I think I feel Honored to have made the list. Go me.

My second thought after seeing the list.

:lol:

I've been outed. And don't call me chubby.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list, just topics I ignore in my house rules ignore list.

Fixed!

Meh.

I figured I would be on that list but I am glad I am not that hated.

Nice!!! :D

Pretty sure there is a firefox plugin that lets you do all sorts of good ignoring including blocking them when they are quoted and blocking mods. Works for any vbulletin board. I've used it on other boards but not here.

I just clicked on my ignore/buddy list thing in the user cp. Of course my ignore list is empty, but what the heck is the Buddy List and what purpose does it serve? And why is the only one on mine INDalltheway when I don't even remember adding him. Don't get me wrong, he's my buddy, but I'm still confused.

:+1:

They're certainly well written. :D

HE'S A WITCH! BUR-- IGNORE HIM!

SI

Well, the way I had it told to me is that there was this one night. You were drunk and... ;)

SI

I only have astrosfan64 on my ignore list. I forget why I put him on there though.

So who's least ignored?

That's how my worst and greatest achievements always start.

This thread inspired me to place a member of this board on my ignore list for the first time.

!abi

Damn guy just gets under my skin.

I think everyone on the board should put him on their ignore list.

I broke my anti-ignore rule and put him there. Fuck him.

I don't have anyone on ignore, but you guys don't give a fuck.

Pumpy is on my list.

Twice.

Added!

And as it turns out, I did have one guy on ignore:

Braggadocioussss

I remember him. That was an interesting time. I think he was posting racist stuff and put up a swastika at one point.

I've also heard that he might still be around with a different name.

I heard if you say his name three times in front of a mirror, he shows up and takes your soul to Hell.

i heard he was all-county in 1995

I hear he makes a great german potato salad.

Speaking of german food, anyone around here like 'raw hack' or 'cooked cheese'. Mmmmm-mmmmm good.

Jon was briefly on my ignore list back in the day when it seemed like every post got my lilly-livered liberal-egghead communist blood boiling and I did it just so I wouldn't go Barney Frank on his ass and get myself boxed. But I echo what you said completely -- I may not always agree with Jon but his views strike me as sincere and well-thought out and I respect that. I eventually dropped the ignore because I found myself clicking on this posts all the time because I wanted to see what he had to say. We even agree much more these days than we used to. We both must be getting soft in our old age.

The antithesis of a guy like Jon are the people on my ignore list -- people who I don't believe are sincere and nothing they ever had to say was well thought out. Two are on the top 5 list and SportsDigs had the other two weeks ago. The_meanstrosity is there because he's a fuckin' Jayhawk asshat.

I think it's sad that a couple of the guys on that list (read: MBBF and Render) are somehow trying to convince themselves that they should be proud. Congrats guys, lots of your peers think you're so douchey and grating that they went out of their way to make sure they never heard from you again. Certainly something to feel good about.

Woot, I didn't make the top 5!

Your sarcasm meter is broken. You might want to get that looked at.

And you are two notches in my bedpost. Wanna go for three?

:(

I was just joking. How could I possibly block Big Poppa Pumpy? He gave new meaning to the word "patience" in our NCAA leagues.

Pumpy Tudors, I love you. What are your thoughts on interracial same-sex marriages?

I'm already in five interracial same-sex marriages, but I guess those two Japanese guys, the two Latinos, and the polar bear won't mind someone else joining the fun. All right, you can come over, but I probably won't do you until right before the deadline.

QOTM material.

I don't ignore anyone. Not for some high moral ground or anything like that, it's just a message board and if I can't handle what people say on a message board then it would be best if I wasn't on a message board.

Poor meanstrosity :(

SI

I'm never angry with the beakers. Just a general sense of pity for them. I'd even note that sterlingice is showing signs of intelligence now that he's far away from the state of Kansas, though I give his MU-educated wife much of the credit for that change. :p

I'd respond to that, but I'm pretty sure I'm one of your 63...

There needs to be a 'Gang of 63' thread where only the people Jim ignores can post in it.

Pumpy wins the internet.

Feels somewhat ironic at the moment that I saw your post without having to click on it.

I was thinking quite the opposite about the number to tell you the truth, that is was remarkably low when you consider a few facts.

1) As I'm typing this, the members lists indicates 460 people have visited FOFC in the past 24 hours, around 520 in the past 72 hours. If even 20% of them have posted, that in the neighborhood of 100 posters depending on the time frame.

2) Even if every single one of those were on my list, that's a 63% ignore rate (and they haven't, plus at least a dozen or so of the names on my list are people who are long gone from FOFC as far as I can tell)

3) As I've mentioned a number of times through the years, I'm a devout believer in "The Rule of the 80", which essentially states that roughly 80% of the people I will encounter in my lifetime are ultimately too fucking stupid to have been worth the time or trouble. A few years ago I modified the rule for accuracy and now refer to it as "The Rule of the 90" or "85-90".

That really make FOFC quite a bit above the curve versus the general population, and by the math maybe even more than I would have guessed (an expert on standard deviations would have to figure out what the number would project to)

Awwww. We love you too you big softie!! ;)

That's nice, but you still ain't getting my Bud Light.

(okay, actually you'd be welcome to it if there was any of that half-assed horse piss anywhere around me, but you get the idea)

I get the idea. If you had any actual Bud Light though I'd refuse to drink it and demand some actual quality beer.

As is, it was a very very good week at work - I'm going to go home and have some Smuttynose Summer Weizen.

I would take the Bud Light.

I would take the Bud Light too, and I hate that stuff. But I really love free booze of any kind.

I wish I could put beer snobs on ignore. Get over yourself ;)

Posting here so JIMG will need to click on his "read post" thingie to see if I have anything to say, then he'll read this, say "Sheesh, I knew he had nothing to say" and move on.

:banghead:

;)

I was about to mock you for your rule of 80, but I see you already amended it to 90 which seems about right.

You're on his list? Weird.

Although there was a time long ago when you and I probably could have benefited from being each other's list. :)

I like Chief Rum when it's not baseball or college football season.

;)

Brilliant!!

JiMGA: HA x2! ;)

Oh, I don't know if I am. Jon and I agree on probably 95% of life's issues, but we'll go to blows, it seems, over the 5% we don't. ;)

I actually have no one on my ignore list. I think I ignored ISiddiqui once for maybe three days because of some stupid hockey argument, but I got annoyed with the "read post" thingie and removed him from ignore (he posted too damn much :D ).

Besides, if I ignore you, I can't keep track of the morally corrupt things you do.

How ironic. :D

I'm actually pretty sure which hockey argument it was (it involved Scott Stevens, IIRC).


LOL! ::evil:: ;)

Ya'll post this stuff as though I'm not smart enough to think about responding to people who are on ignore & slow playing replies to people who aren't. Or even vice versa in a bit of reverse psychology.

You interweb peeplz iz funny.

He's still a headhunting douche bag!

But we have Niedermayer now, though, so debt paid. :D

I'm kind of fascinated that anyone would care about who is or is not on anyone elses ignore list.

But it is a Friday afternoon.....

What's being said in here? I can't see any posts.
