    Go in to the thread that the post is in. Look at the one before it. Gives it a massive amount of context. You've probably ruined the joke for yourself, though. Meh.

    We both know I'll never get over that.

    If I missed the context of the post and it's actually hilarious then so be it...but as a stand alone "post of the day"...

    Still, you gotta enjoy starting a thread that's going to be universally reviled. You should all try it someday...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader


    I think we should all thank the OP so he can get over his jealousy


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Today's post of the day is the prettiest one ever OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    As my grand uncle Wilbert used to alway say "Today's Post of The Day is Tomorrow's Old News."

    Wise man ol' Wilbert.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Where can you see Post of the day? Have I ever won it cos I is very funny.

    Too much ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 920 ✭✭✭Menengroth™


    You're right, we need an independant committee to judge this kind of thing, say three full time paid members of the committee who would look through all the posts made on boards.ie every day and select the best one. Starting salaries of €35,000 would mean an annual cost of €105,000 which I think you'll agree is very reasonable. In the mean time, unless you're willing to pay this yourself, shut it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭PK2008


    I only read thanked posts.

    Maybe non-thanked posts have something to offer.... but the way I look at it, why take the risk?

    There was a POTD a couple of weeks back that consisted of two rolleye smilies.
    It's classics like that which make the thanks system all worthwhile.

    I scrolled past that and saw "collapses on ground furiously tearing panties".

    Such a missed opportunity.

    I always check post of the day.
    20% of the time, they are very funny.
    40% of the time, it is a grief junkie / high horse / Mary Whitehouse special.
    The other 40% of the time they are big FAILS.

    It's worth checking for that 20%.

    This thread is possibly the worst ruse to get "post of the day" that I've ever seen.

    Some people resort to posting naked pics for thanks.
    Sad state of affairs tbh.
