What do you do with your lurve score?

Nope…you pretty much get it….it has no value.

I take it to bed at night!
Sometimes we talk, but most of the time I just type away and watch it grow, like a child you know?

@Snoopy @Bagardbilla Thanks!

It makes your head grow when the lurve points come flying in

@allen_o LOL

It’s nice to know that your opinion is worth a darn once in a while.

you can put it in your pipe and smoke it.

@eponymoushipster I don’t smoke. Now what?

You get a big lurve fest when you reach 10000. That’s about it.

This will lead you an old question that might give you a clue as to what a few of us have planned. =)

@Randy Thanks!

@jonsblond really?

@jbfletcherfan put it where ever you want, then.

There’s nothing to do with it. They have no value. It’s just a symbol. Of what exactly is best left to your own interpretation.

At 10,000 lurve, usually people post a “question” to celebrate the achievement, as it is exponentially harder to get lurve as you reach higher numbers.

@dynamicduo Thanks!
But, does enthusiasm for more lurve fade away as you get more and more? As you’ve already put some, how do you feel?

I wouldn’t say it fades, but lurve becomes a bit less significant when you reach higher numbers, in my mind. That said, I’m still a tad excited for the day when I hit 10k.

@dynamicduo all the best for your 10K! Hope you’ll reach there sooner.

@eponymoushipster Whoa!—-???—-

I was a bit excited when I reached 5000. It will be some time before I reach 10000, but I’m sure that will be exciting also. At the moment, I appreciate receiving a great answer more than I do lurve points.

I took my lurve score and fifty cents and bought a cup of coffee this morning.

@jonsblond I agree about the GA. It makes me feel good to see that someone else agrees with what I’ve said or thinks a comment I’ve made is good.

@jbfletcherfan GA! :)

The GA’s are like applause, sometimes a polite little clap, sometimes a thunderous role. That’s real useful feedback.

The actual score is way less significant. It barely even reflects the number of GA’s, since so few GA’s count once you’ve been here awhile.

Lurve is like getting a pat on the back, it just makes you feel good when you get a GA.

Like @Harp said, the total number isn’t that important.

Lurve is a real chick magnet (NOT!!!).

I watch it grow. That’s about it!

I’m with @JellyB – about all I have figured out to do with it is look at it from time to time. It does tend to grow periodically (except of April Fool’s Day, when it became negative).

A high score and a nickel will get you a 5 cent cigar.

I keep mine in a jar, with my lonely face, by the door, to paraphrase an old Beatles lyric.

@jbfletcherfan well, if you don’t smoke it, you can dry it and use it as an air freshener in your fluther. :)

@jonsblond: Yeah, you’re right. That’s about it. :)

You know they say “money can’t buy you love?” The reverse is true, too: “lurve can’t buy you money.”

@asmonet A free t-shirt when you reach 10000 lurve would be nice, don’t you think? :)

Lurve keeps me warm at night.

Isn’t anyone gonna say “You can stick it right straight up your…”

@Mr_M – No, we were gonna let you do that…

@jonsblond: Oh yes, that would make me very happy. But there’d need to be a grandfather clause.

I will buy everyone fluther tshirts with my lurve!

Yay!

I let it validate me
whenever i sit at my computer
and my score goes up…
I feel the lurve wash over me like cleansing water

Is anyone approaching the 20,000 mark yet?

Gail just broke 16K.

JP has to be getting up there too.

@guys; I am not getting younger, richer or thinner by hanging around fluther. Remember that.

Actually to me lurve does have value. While @gailcalled is right in saying that we do not get skinnier, richer or younger I have gotten wiser.

I have learned so much surfing the archives and have been able to enrich my life with the knowledge and experience of others.

Also just reading Mattbrowne’s questions keep me thinking as I work. I rarely am able to answer them but they are always great food for thought.

So to me Lurve signifies CE (continuing education) credits. Not of any value to anyone but the mind that was enriched.

I’ll be auctioning off my account on ebay at some point like I did on another site.

Don’t let the mods here you say that. ;)

I’m writing my points in my journal every day so I know when I first hit each milestone. I learned on other sites that I actually care about that sort of thing. Weird, huh? I’m also saving them up for the day the lurve Gods decide to give away t-shirts as a reward to good users like some of the other sites do, so I can add to my collection.

In the order of your question’s details:

- What do I do with my lurve score? I look at it occasionally.

- What does it indicate? Someone thought I gave a good answer. Or two. Or three.

- Can I buy something with my lurve score? Yes. Two rounds of drinks for all Flutherites. On me.

- Is there something more to it? Not that I know of. If there’s more to it than what I’ve experienced, could someone please enlighten me because I’m a little curious about what it might be.

@Bluefreedom The more lurve you have, the less the CIA keeps track of you…oh wait, or was that the other way around?

@Dog: It isn’t the point system that makes you wiser; it is the information transmitted or researched. (But you knew that.)

I wrap mine in a nice warm blanket and tuck it into bed at night.

@Supersqueaky: You’re confusing lurve with Milo.

@miasmom. I’m not sure which way it is either but now I’m more suspicious of the CIA than I’ve ever been before. =)

I used mine as an inspiration to finally complete the Boston Marathon.

i started running it back in ‘83

@jonsblond yeah, a free T-shirt on 10k is a good idea!

@daloon I agree!

Thanks all!

@Guys; This site is up and running and improving as practically an act of charity by Ben and Andrew. Let them have their pittance from the T-shirt sales. Or let us donate $10/year. That’s one movie in NYC or two Starbucks’.

writes a big fat check to Ben and Andrew, then I realize I don’t know where to mail it.

@evelyns_pet_zebra I’m offering to buy a bunch of shirts and let the Fluther Gods decide who to give them to.

The t-shirt idea was a joke. I’d gladly donate $.

@jonsblond from your mouth to the Fluther gods ears. Let’s get this economy moving, infuse some cash where it would do best.

As soon as I have a job, I would donate to Fluther.
I really love it. :)
