The “Like Button” status.
59% of those who cared about our community voted and said it was a “Brilliant move”
26% of you do not care about “anything”.
14% admitted that they “Hate Everything”.
The add-on I was using avoided some of the issues related to Disqus and was only good for a 7 day trial period. There is somebody who claims to be a Capt in the Corps that thinks I took them down because he is Dickish. Although he does appear to be somewhat Dickish…rest assured it had nothing to do with them not appearing.
Adding and/or changing addons does interfere with other features on a site. In this case it only bothered a few things we needed stopped anyway. We will most “Like”ly put them back in the near future.
If you have suggestions, feedback, concerns, or general outrage…keep it to yourself for the time being. Soon you will be able to rant away like never before. Some guy named Dallas keeps sending me mail wanting to know if everything is alright around here. I have assured him that we are all doing just fine and not to worry. He seems skeptical.

I like the like button like I like this site and like others I voted for the like button unlike others who voted for not having the like button. I guess we are different in our like’s and dislikes. Did you like my comment or was it stretching the likes a little too much????
See, this is why you were never allowed to talk over the 1MC.
Dave, could you possibly make this site like yours and have our post info automatically put in? Sure would make things faster for the WOT? And I like really like the like buttons!!
Like
I like everybody’s like.
I like Ike! 😉

This is why we can’t have nice things on TAH like door prizes.
Seriously, one thing I would really like to see is the annual voting on who is the most terrible poser. Maybe we could have categories of competition, such as:
SEAL
Ranger
Bogus Medals
Etc.
I really look forward to the annual competition. Can we look forward to that in a little while? I would like that.
Most terrible poser?
As in the most egregious (i.e. outrageous lies, swindling money from women, drawing VA compensation for phony disabilities, etc.), or would it be the weakest/lamest effort?
We could probably do both, and the competition would be fierce for both of those titles.
How about worst (i.e. most poorly) forged DD214’s? I’ve seen some on this site that look like white-out and typewriter jobs…
I would love to see such a contest, that is one thing that I know my pos poser brother could win hands down! He has the worst forged DD214
The most medals claimed that he never earned
And last but not least for the most money scammed from the VA for the longest time!
20 years and 750K
Good idea. The ‘most hosed 214’ would be a great category. Some appear to be the classwork for first graders. Yeah, let’s have several categories, if possible.
I guess I really need to take some extended R&R and update the TAH Poser Scoreboard.
What’s not to like?
Maybe we could have a category for the poser least likely to be thought of as a warrior? How about these 400 pounders with SEAL cover, Silver Star, etc?
Don’t forget the V for valor on the Silver Star. That seems to be popular among warrior posers. /sarc
Maybe that’s why when I used to man the starboard motor whale boat as the boat engineer standing life boat watch’s during the 2000-00 & 00-0400 hours we used to shoot the shit with after steering, port & starboard aft look outs and the bridge, some officer on the bridge would tell me to knock it off. I wonder why???
Ol’ Whipitnflogit chimed in? He must be extraordinarily disappointed that we’re all still here.
In re: ‘like’ vs ‘dislike’: meh.
More interested in feedback and real people.
“More interested in feedback and real people.”
^This^
Agreed Ex-PH2.
I can take or leave the like buttons but would much rather read someone’s response.
Then again, those who are reading from work, etc, may find it easier and faster to click the like button when they do not have the time to post.
There now, was that a liberal, both sides of my mouth, wishy-washy enough response? I can’t believe I wrote this.
You pass, Sparks. You were sufficiently vague. LOL
So QuEeFeRs is all worried about us here at TAH and the status of the blog. Must be missing his butt buddy (the human lawn dart) something fierce.
Sucks to be you, QuEeFsqUiRt…
Haven’t seen CAPT0302, the Keyboard Commando, recently either.
Wonder why?
He’s busy being a cocksucker.
That’s in the ten ring, G. Well shot!
That’s gonna leave a mark! I “Like” it.
I really, REALLY hate it when that happens.
Keyboard Commando is probably out shopping around for a Kevlar yarmulke before he ‘cometh’ back in here to try to challenge/threaten Dave again.
Kevlar with a Nomex outer shell. If he does, I predict an evening of mid-70 temps, partly cloudy skies, and a chance of localized ban hammers throughout the TAH area.
14 percent is nothing to be ashamed of.
LMAO!
I’m a little dubious as to whether he is/was a Capt. As Mick pointed out his improper use of Marine Corps abbreviations and his willingness to name call a SNCO doesn’t convince me he is what he says he is.
I’d like for him to return if only for entertainment purposes.
Yeah, there’s no way that CAPT0302 was for real. Not a chance.
Too many inconsistencies in what he said and in how he presented himself (but I won’t discuss any of them here in order to avoid giving the posers any inside gouge).
kinda like that other hero Marine that was here defending his hollywood butt-buddy, calling everybody grunt and otherwise speaking like someone that never saw active duty…gnard gargling quim squirt
Meh. Don’t much care either way.
Through an exhaustive analysis of the voting results and participant genealogies, our results demonstrate to a P=0.5 value that: persons supporting like/dislike buttons are descended from the bloodthirsty Roman Circus crowds; those opposing are descended from the gladiators; and those with no opinion are descended from those who ran off behind the arena with Gina instead of going to the gladiator games. 97% of button opinion scientists agree with this analysis. The disagreeing 3% were given a thumbs down and eaten by lions.
For the non-scientific types, a translation of the above study*.
You are:
a) Voting yes = a descendent of a blood thirsty go-along-with-the-crowd type;
b) Voting no = a descendent of a gladiator; or
c) Voting don’t care = a descendent of an Italian MFer.
Recount, Recount! (choose your category wisely)
*published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results, Vol 69
Hmm – I may switch my vote to (c). Gina has some serious appeal.
Yeah, MF’ers! I gots me somes “suggestions, feedback, concerns, or general outrage”!!!
Here we go: I’m outraged that beer costs so f***ing much! I LIKE the price point of High Life but the packy only had the HL lite and that S**T is pointless(er)!!! That and I accidentally bought it cuz I thought the blue label was just a special thing, you know, for the 4th or whatever(prob too distracted on how my whore of a gf cheated on me with 2 chicks, maybe I’m just upset I wasn’t there, but regardless: F Miller for the sin of HL L!). I SUGGEST that Miller stop making that crap cuz my CONCERN is I’m going to drive to the demon pit of HELL from whence this S**T came and use the bottles to relieve the factory of windows!
You’ve been warned Miller Brewing Company!
See, comments like this REQUIRE a dislike button! It’s off topic, LT-type lost off topic, and clearly the writer is unstable.
Maybe we shouldn’t have a dislike, you wouldn’t want to trigger this deranged individual.
These results may be unreliable. First, your N, or sampling size, is too small. I know, most people don’t like to be told that their N is too small, but it could skew data if you have outliers.
A way to account for this is to perform a Wilcoxon sign ranked T-test to avoid the assumption that the values are normally distributed.
You can then reverse the formula to recover the data points.
So, in summary – your N is too small and even if you manipulate your outliers, your entire sample skews slightly to one side.
… and the statistical P value is off. I treated a few Marines whose P value was off.
How about a “lick” button! Give me some prison shower tongue, baby! YEAH!!!
I request exclusive marpat camo buttons for the Marines. It will perpetually piss off non Marines and this is needed. 🤣
How about crayons so you guys eat your screens?
Btw, crayons have been found to have asbestos in then. You might want to get yourself checked out bud.
Ambivalence R Us.
Like/Dislike is too harsh. And binary.
How about Like/Sorta Like/ Neutral/ Kinda Dislike/ Dislike. Spread out the scale.
That would make for more precise feedback in the mid range area with less accuracy at the scales ends. Just like a real meter movement.
Calibrate the meter centerscale with a known standard comment.
And make it a real meter display with color bands and a needle that shows real time opinion. Put some jiggle in it.
I could get on board with a “Meh” button….
Ok, delete “Neutral” Add “Meh” as the center scale label. I “Like” it.
If you make a really terrible pun,(which means that it is a great pun)does a lot of dis likes mean that they are really likes?
