Where is the lurve?

GQ and IMO you are right to question this. Not that it is a HUGE deal but I see so many Jellies agreeing with good answers or good questions and no Lurve to back it up! We need a pie in the face button for moments like those!! XD

@Cruiser I am one of those people that goes around the empty threads and gives lurve to abandoned GA’s.
It does bother me when I see someone agreeing with someone, or even going so far as to say “GA”, but not giving the lurve. I don’t think lurve is a big deal.. but it is just a part of fluther that I enjoy. I like that I can push a little button and potentially make someone feel special for a split second, maybe that’s just me.

Because of that habit, I can’t help but notice that it seems like way more zeros than usual lately.

Yep. I’ve been noticing the same thing. How hard is it to click on a GA that you find compelling or on a GQ that makes you stop and think?

@Cruiser‘s idea of a pie-in-the-face button is great. SPLAT! Right in the kisser.

@TheOnlyNeffie We have the ability to give lurve for a reason so why not??

@hawaii_jake So what should it be….whipped cream….banana…key lime….or cherry for colorful effect??

@Cruiser : I really love key lime pie.

I’ve got all kinds of lurve to give. I’ve been MIA for two months. I’m ready to spread the joy.

:D

I’ve maxed out on all of you though. damn

I’d prefer to get lurve because someone liked my post. Please don’t GA my posts simply because no one has yet.

@Cruiser sneaks up behind @FutureMemory with a coconut creme pie and taps him on the shoulder…

@FutureMemory I do read the posts before I give GA’s. I didn’t make that very clear. I don’t have to be blown away by the post, but if it answers the question and is well thought out.. I give lurve. Pretty basic.

@TheOnlyNeffie Your answer ”...I can push a little button and potentially make someone feel special for a split second,” You see? Right there! That’s why I like you!
GA! I wish I could give you lurve but alas… I’ve already given you all I’ve got.

@worriedguy D’awww. :)

I’ve noticed it as well on some threads…probably more so on ones in the General section. And it is weird when someone agrees with a response, but the GA section is at zero. What’s up with that? I’m pretty loose with the lurve, except if I disagree with the answer or it becomes banter between a few Jellies…unless it gets really witty.

@Cruiser How about pumpkin pie with whipped cream for the next month? If that doesn’t change the attitude, can it be switched over to a nice, rock hard fruit cake?

Pumpkin pie, that’s genius.

The gimp in the cellar took it all, selfish bastard! :¬)

I have noticed that too. I am lurve happy as well. Sometimes I don’t even answer the question and give lurve down the board as I am reading. It doesn’t cost me anything, plus I like to push buttons.

I’ve noticed that new folks aren’t as likely to give lurve, probably because they don’t really ‘get it’ at first. We have had quite a few new people join recently, so maybe that’s it? As people stick around, they become familiar with the culture, and start to feel the lurve. ;)

@hawaii_jake You need to know there would not be much if any left of a coconut creme pie to throw with me around!!

@Pied_Pfeffer I like your thinking!! ;)

I agree. I make sure I always give lurve for answers that are at least decent enough. Especially the funny ones or the ones that supply the best answer to the question.

Keep on lurvin’!

I got nothin but lurve for @TheOnlyNeffie. Bang, there’s some. Bang there’s some more. I am saving all my lurve for you!

That was a GA if I do say so myself. Back atcha. :)

Where is the lurve

I sometimes forget to mark a question as a “Great Question” because the “Great Question” button doesn’t stand out to me that much. It camouflages well.
