Whilst I enjoyed some late summer UK sunshine this evening, I entered a search criteria in the forum to identify which posts received the most appreciation from other forum members.
This contains data from all of the 415,000 forum posts that the been made since the Discourse forum started. So well done to all those have created such interesting discussions

Hi Paul,
First of all I am very glad to see that you have too much free time 
Secondly my congratulations to @hotNipi, who seems to be a role model on this forum for geeks and weirdos

Interesting, but I'm not sure your stats are accurate I'm afraid. Am I missing something?
OK, I am certainly missing something. From that top entry:
I'm not sure therefore what the 76 relates to.
The stats are presented by a Mod!
It's a Fix! 
In all honesty, getting 1 like... I'm Syked, if I get appreciated by 1 person, I know that my suggestion, opinion, thought is of value for a random person who I have never met.
(It's more then I get from Mrs Davies 
)
But seriously, I'm here for the community and discussion - nothing more.

You are counting the total number of likes in a particular topic thread.
I'm counting the number of likes given to a individual post
To obtain the stats, click the search magnifying glass top right, and enter in: likes order:likes
Heh 
But anyway - take statistics seriously and pay attention on last two. Specially the order of those.

In fact, there is problem somewhere...
If you run the filter -
...and then look at the entry with 21 likes -
Node-RED-Dashboard (v1) - Deprecation Notice
scroll down to post 3 (by me) and I got 22 likes, which isn't listed...???
Has @hotNipi stolen my 22 likes position?

Maybe the number of likes isn't the best, or any measure of how well the forum is supported by it's community members.
Some members such as @Colin @E1cid @TotallyInformation @BartButenaers as well as many others, including flowfuse staff, are in the forum most every day, contributing, problem solving, and making the forum a better place.

But yes - I agree.
This is not BS - I spend more time here, then I do any other community, and its due to it's vibrancy of all its members!

Everyone who comes here and shares what they can are number one. I come here and return daily, as to me this place is a beacon of light, and a model of what giving can achieve. Well done all of you.
