Meta: Highest # of upvotes per MGoPost within thread?
Earlier today, MGoUser "viciousid" was the first to respond in the "Beilein's Response to Crowd Chant at OSU Game" https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/beilein%27s-response-crowd-chant-osu-game
As of a few minutes ago, his net upvote total stood at 101. Does anyone have any idea what might be the record # of upvotes anyone has ever received to a response? Has anyone ever reached 1000? How about 500, maybe? I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a few who have received over 200 upvotes back in the days of MGoBlog 2.0, but not since.
The post this afternoon by "viciousid", IMO, is clearly outstanding and deserving of every possible upvote. If you haven't yet seen it, please take a look and give it some consideration.

Son!
Now PLEASE turn off that GameCube and get some sleep, OK?

I think M-Wolverine had one of the biggest point loses. At one time in 2010 he had the highest point total on the board. I think he got kicked off the blog.
February 1st, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Brian was out doing some personal stuff and M-Wolverine spotted him and wanted to argue or something. He was part of the Great Purge as a result, when several users got the permaban. What was that--maybe 5-6 years ago now? I recall enjoying his posts.

Mr. Yost has the record for most downvotes for a single post
January 31st, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
Not anymore. somewittyname took the title easily. It is sort of documented in the MgoHOF, though you can't see the totals anymore.
January 31st, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
I have none. What’s everyone’s secret?
January 31st, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
I'll never tell.
January 31st, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Large upvote totals are hard to come by. You have to have a perfect comment that's only a line or two, maybe three, at the perfect time. It has to be fearless, cold, and utterly deadpan. My personal best is only in the 80's sometime last year.
Good luck to those striving to earn chunked upvotes!

Slow and steady wins the race.
Vote for yourself.

I seem to remember Wolverine Devotee made some sort of innocuous post a few years back probably in 2015, likely about new apparel being released. This post was also the debut of his new avatar which was a logo that he created himself (hopefully correctly embedded below).
This was when WD was at the peak of his board activity, he and DiscussMan were always around. The first comment was something simple like "wait, did you just give yourself a logo?" I seem to remember the upvotes on that simple comment were staggering in number.
January 31st, 2019 at 10:29 PM ^
I remember that post. The comment that got the most upvotes was a response to WD saying “this year will come fast” and the response being “if it’s anything like your first 20 years, it won’t come at all”
January 31st, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
That's good stuff.
January 31st, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Iirc, there was a photo of a can of WD-40 that got a few chuckles.
Some great comments in that thread.
February 1st, 2019 at 12:12 AM ^
I thought he had died a decade before. That kind of stuff is reserved for obits.
February 1st, 2019 at 3:22 AM ^
WD got some mega points by being right about what the last AD did. I don't think he holds the record for points on a single post.

Yep--Turd Ferguson's comment.
February 1st, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
You can't see the points now, but it got well over 250. I think it got the highest I ever saw.
February 1st, 2019 at 10:00 AM ^
I thought WD and DiscussMan were the same person.
What does the "XX" mean in the logo?
February 1st, 2019 at 10:17 AM ^
That’s when he turned 20 years old.
February 1st, 2019 at 10:17 AM ^
He was 20 when he died and became the zombie version we all know and love.
January 31st, 2019 at 11:04 PM ^
My only way to earn up upvotes was to buy everyone beer after Harbaugh was hired. From my best seller “How to Win Upvotes and Influence People.”
January 31st, 2019 at 11:05 PM ^
I think I hit triple digits with a Tom DeLonge “WTF” gif as first to respond to the news that Dakich was transferring to ohio.
January 31st, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
we can see peoples up/down votes again?
January 31st, 2019 at 11:31 PM ^
I'd be happy with -

February 1st, 2019 at 12:13 AM ^
Ahem, I believe Mr. viciousid left off a period at the end of his sentence. One downvote forthcoming!

IIRC some cat gave Wolverine Devotee a hard time for giving himself a logo. I saw it was around 250. Brian mentioned it one of his articles.
That was a while ago though.
February 1st, 2019 at 8:03 AM ^
For real, what’s an upvote? I have had0 MGoPoints for ever. Are these related?
February 1st, 2019 at 9:18 AM ^
Yes.
I don't know if it's the timing of our registration or what, but since the website update, this forum still has issues with points and votes for some members. There are still a bunch of us that don't get to participate because the points don't register.
You get a point (or 2?) for an upvote, and you lose one for a downvote. If those were registering for us, once we accumulated 100, we'd get our little up-down arrows under each post so we can join in the fun.
I can say, as someone who had that privilege in a previous MGoLife, I don't miss it. It's fun, but when one of my idiot takes gets negged to Bolivia, it's much better not knowing that everybody thinks I'm a moron.

Seeing and being able to upvote/downvote was on my New Year's Resolution... Looks like another fail... F you gym, F you diet, F you saving money, F you spending more time w/ Family and F you upvote/downvote

A serious, for realz conversation around the Naked Bootlegger family dinner table:
Naked Bootlegger (NB): <Adopts dramatic facial affect> "Fam, I have some major news I need to share with you."
NB Wife: "This sounds interesting"
NB Son: /Chews food
NB Daughter: /Rolls eyes
NB: "My most recent MGoBlog post has already exceeded 50 upvotes."
NB Family: /Crickets chirping
One of my proudest life achievements was a post that achieved upvote MGoGlory. And I can't even remember what it was related to.

This is like listening to a gaggle of middle schoolers bragging about how many times they've jerked off in 24 hours.
February 1st, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Is that why you're here?
February 1st, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
The twosie bicycle .gif got a lot of votes, as did the Poole Swag .gif.
The recent comment about even bowl games sitting out bowl games got a lot of votes after a bowl game was cancelled for weather.
February 1st, 2019 at 5:47 PM ^
I'm no expert in totals, but I'm pretty sure a power level of 9000 is impossible..
