Post here if you ever had any of your threads on the Greatest page.

[Shrubhater]

I myself, am a one vote wonder, which means that only one of my threads ever landed on the Greatest page. It was about tasers.

1. One of mine has too

2. Which thread of yours got on the Greatest page?

11. I can't figure out how to search the Greatest page

I don't see an option for it under the search tab and for the life of me I can't remember. It was just a couple of weeks ago though. Seems like it had something to do with Bolton.

I found it finally by date I remembered I was congratulating for someone else that I know making the greatest page and had pm'ed him.

3. Just one,

and for some reason there were more votes than there were replies.

[Shrubhater]

5. I had the opposite occurence.

4. This gem of mine landed briefly on the Greatest Page.

Unfortunately, it was removed in short order. I don't know why.:shrug:

6. A few of mine have

How it happened, I have no idea

7. I can't believe I'm bragging about this...but I've had two

threads on the Greatest Page and (here's the bragging part) what is kind of amazing is that I've probably only started 7 or 8 threads the whole time I've been on DU (about 8 months).

Here they are:

You know, I was thinking tonight, that we are finally "getting" it.

on edit: I wanted to add that I'm not really sure why these made it.

8. mine was about "Tits and Ass"

here's the link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3397496

[Shrubhater]

12. Oh yeah, I posted on that thread.

Did you see my post on that thread, it had litterally hundreds of :rofl: emoticons.

[RPM]

14. yes.

it was appreciated!

[HullBoss]

9. My Easter rant made it

under my real name, Blue_In_AK

10. I've had a couple go there, but IMHO the greatest page...

...is more of a popularity contest than anything else. If you look, you will notice that there are pretty tight little cliques of posters that constantly nominate their buddies and vice-versa, no matter how ordinary the post is. I can usually just take a look at just a posters name (no I am not going to mention any here either), without even seeing the subject, and just know that there will be at least five votes for it.

It's pretty obvious too, I mean when a post about cat grooming gets several nominations, I mean, come on, let's be a little less obvious about it...

[JimmyJazz]

15. I haven't seen that happen. In fact, my understanding is that the

mods and/or the admins monitor who votes for which threads to make sure there isn't bias and that friends are running around nominating other friends threads.

[crispini]

13. Me, I had a couple.

Both activist related campaigns, one to get folks to write emails to MSNBC re: Countdown possibly losing its timeslot, and the other about the Employee Benefit Pension Act of 2005. Both worthy of it, IMO, 'cause it was about the cause....

[RPM]

16. Recommended!

:D

[Shrubhater]

18. Thank you. n/t

[El Fuego]

17. I had two.

:-)

[Hugin]

19. Greatest page?

Whuzzat?

[Shrubhater]

26. It's the page on DU where threads with three or more

votes for the greatest page get on it. Check it out.

20. I've had a few

My favorite was probably this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3168000

[texas1928]

21. I had one show up there.

I can not believe that the thread ended up there.

[Lisa0825]

22. I've had one.

It was about the Texas City BP explosion. I live in TC, so I had local info. I felt special for a day! ;-)

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. I've had two.

One was a complete joke. I posted right after the greatest page was put up for the first time, saying that my goal was to get on there. People nominated my thread. Silly.

Then I had another, that was for realz. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Two of my threads ended up there...

They were both about Jeff Matson (Nostamj). I would have rather skipped the honor, in order to keep him here....

[Droopy]

25. I've had two threads on there

One was a general warning about giving out too much information of yourself on here. Although it was done from a crazy, truck driver's point of view. The other was one of my "Stories From the Road" threads about a co-driver that I used to have who enlightened me about affirmative action.

[deadparrot]

27. Two or three times, I think. nt

[tyedyeto]

28. I don't look at that statistic

but I don't think I've ever had even one vote for a 'greatest' nomination. But then, I very seldom start threads. :shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

29. Only one, but I'd LOVE for this thread to be nominated.

It tells about the hope that is to be found in Mississippi today.

So, if anyone wants to nominate my thread, I'd kiss you for it. :D
