What are those white stripes?

[Dralowid]

Well, obviously no one has ever liked anything I have posted since 2006 and to be honest I haven't 'liked' anybody else's posts though I have appreciated many and said so.

There was a time when I would care...but now?

What a disappointment. I was hoping the bars reflected something more meaningful, such as the number of cat photos.

I, too, have been trying to figure this one out.

I'm guessing this feature comes with the software, with no option for the site owner to delete it.

Personally, I see a system like this, that bestows prestige upon certain members for often-questionable reasons, to establish a hierarchy of social class within the forum community.

(I'm not a facebooker, so this process is a bit foreign to me.)

I agree (because I'd win!) 🙂

Actually they are orange bars I see now. Is that like a haze on reputation or worse it couldn't be fungus could it? I prefer the aspheric white bars without chromatic aberration. And I'm getting that for no extra charge. Besides if I go into settings and make adjustments and find I only score 1 orange bar that will make me look try-hard, and a failure.

I obviously have no Reputation Power. (He says while smirking 😉)

Let's all give Chris lots of "likes" or "Reputation Power" or whatever, because cats are cool and Sneaky is the coolest. And no telling what Sneaky will do if he feels dissed.

Okay, I think I can get behind this!

If you mouse-over the bars, a little message pops-up (depending on how many bars you have). It's all a little juvenile I'm afraid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Every time I see the title of this thread I can't help but hear The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" playing in my head. And, thank goodness, it's a darn good song!

All the best,

Once I learned what those orange bars represent, I just gave everyone a like...... arbitrary!! But y'all are welcome 😉

I thought he already did...

I might have to start hanging around my neighbor's cat.

Careful! I started feeding my neighbor's cat and the cat ended up enslaving me 😱

Resistance is futile! Cats are the Alpha Species! Now go clean up that hairball on your pillow...

"Clean up"?
Surely you mean reverently enshrine the gift bestowed by our overlords? 😀

As the saying goes, "Dogs have owners, cats have staff."

Please. Don't provoke my masters. They can get grumpy if they are offended.....not good for us servants 🙄. Now, I have to go now....time for my master's daily snuggle session. I can't be late! 😱😱

Look ma I got two orange stripes. Not sure why. I’m so relieved I didn’t limp into the arena with only one orange.

 

[Yokosuka Mike]

I only listen to people with 10 orange stripes. Because they're the only people know what's what.
