Has the lurve gotten out of hand?

I’m all for lurve, and sharing the lurve, and lurving everyone… But has it gone a little overboard?

I remember joining and thinking “Wow, Gail has like, thousands of lurve! That’s crazy!” Then, about 1 year ago, Gail, Marina, AstroChuck, and a few others were just starting to reach 10000. Since then, the lurve has increased exponentially. Users reach 1000 lurve after a week of use, people I’ve never heard of are way beyond my level of lurvitude… has it gone a little nuts?

I obviously haven’t been fluthering as much as I should, and by the time I see a GQ it has like 378 answers, so maybe it’s my fault… I just feel a little lost in the lurvacity. I think I’ve earned my lurve, and I’m not complaining about the level of lurve I’ve obtained. I’m not trying to take away from the well-earned lurve of others either, I’m just asking. I’m not attacking, I swear. I’m a lurveful guy!

What do you think? Is it because I’m not using as much, or simply because the site is growing? For new users who are gobbling up lurve like anteaters: Do you think getting lurve is easy or difficult? To the 20k Club members: Do you think 100k is summoning you?

I often still feel like a newer flutherer (not part of the old gang), but as I look around I see that I’ve been here a while… Am I just getting old?
