Exactly, that's how people were using it anyway. Did you even look at the link?

For a single person issuing a review score for something, 5-star scale is about as good as it gets. But for a mass grading system like YouTube, the human nature of 1-or-5 makes it nearly meaningless. Your quote actually illustrates the absurdity:

My main beef is how you can't discern [dukar]ty four-star vids from decent 4.5/5-star ones

This new system takes the problem explained in the link to a further extreme by not even offering the option of balanced ratings. My aforementioned quote implied how this "thumbs-up/down" deal does nothing to remedy the issue, but instead worsens it.

Flyers for what?

My sister is a teacher and they're doing a production of The Lion King. I had to staple flyers and envelopes for the kids to take so that their parents and whoever could buy tickets.

Amen. Also, the new comments layout hurts my eyes. I'm pretty sure it killed my nonexistent children too.

Dear god, I created a monster in the Video Games board.

I realize these kinds of joke threads die hard on TMK, but with half the front page covered in them, its just way too ridiculous even by our standards.

It doesn't help that a good number of them (including the original) are completely serious.

So, what? You, in turn, are trying to ruin mine by plastering a close-up of my face everywhere, whether or not it's relevant to the discussion?

...carry on, then.

I was just about to say the other day that I'm really sick of that picture.

I'm about to say the same... well, to a lesser degree.

Rao's life is ruining this forum.

Well, that is to say, I'm sick of seeing TK's [sexy] face and "Why don't any of you people have X" parody threads smattered across the site. To quote a fellow meme for the sake of irony,

Rao · « **Reply #6553 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:14:25 PM »

Everyone started farting and the forum went downhill.
