I forget sometimes that the PCGS board awards badges for receiving a certain number of "LOL"s , "Agrees", or "Likes". Probably a lot of you weren't aware or don't care, or both :)

But apparently (if I'm reading the software correctly) there are only 19 board members who have received 5,000 likes on their posts since this iteration of the forum software was installed.

Now I wouldn't be surprised to find out others have received far more than 5,000 likes (coincidentally, November of this year will by my "official" 20th anniversary on the PCGS forums :o ).

But I'm looking over the list of the others in the "5,000 like" club, and it's a damn fine group of people to be included with:

@Boosibri @BryceM @DIMEMAN @Paradisefound @koynekwest @lkeigwin @topstuf @Justacommeman @RogerB @coinsarefun @ErrorsOnCoins @Zoins @1630Boston @Insider2

    Well...4 of them have been banned, so someone didn't like them.

    And I'm over 4000 likes and we all know no one likes me! ;)

    Seriously, congratulations!

    How do you all not “like” that post

    The champion, or rather championette, in the "like" department is hands down, Paradisefound. Everyone else on the 5,000 list has been around here for an average of over 10 years. She did it in about 6 seconds before she disappeared into the waves. How DID she do that? Leave it to the girls! 🌺🏊🌺

    What about @ricko he's got almost fifteen thousand 'likes' :)

    I don't think any of us will ever catch ricko, either in number of posts or in number of likes.

    I believe you are on to something. Yeah, I got my 5000 like "awarn" and shortly thereafter received my first warding. 🤣

    A bit too literal. If I have to read coin room rules I’m in big trouble in life.

    tbh, i think the badges i'd like to see the most, is how many are given by xxxxx.

    if i would have picked one of several people i would have thought would never get even one warning, you would have been on that list!

    have you been short-fused lately from not being able to get those canon dslr pics dialed in? :p:D

    perhaps you keep missing that JUST high enough grade on some dimes or cents?

    i am absolutely astonished i never broke anything around my place when i was learning mine. i was just so relieved to get across the finish line i wasn't even upset once i saw how stupidly easy it actually is to take pro-pics with good equip. i thought i felt dumb before i figured that out.

    What's not to like about that?

    I am seriously considering having a sash, kinda like boy scouts wear, made up of my CU Forum "badges" and wear at the next big coin show I go to.

    if you do your badges on the front please add the avatars of those that have been banned in remembrance. ;)

    Holy crap!!!
    I’ve got 5151 posts and 4,700 likes 😳
    I think cats comment as well as an imaginary beaver who can post 😂. I guess I’m crazy as I think but no harm no foul 😁🙀😸😻🦫
    And I don’t recognize any difference between AT or NT 🤔
    And I’ve never been to a coin show.
    Thanks everybody. Honestly, I am humbled, a little 🙃

    Congratulations Weiss and thanks for all your sharing of your knowledge and wisdom 🙏
