sounds like some one has a litlle ball fetish going on!!

SVD, I notice that you are not in the list. Is this your subtle way of trying to get one of those special little balls?

I have a MASSIVE competitive streak.

So, from now on, it's either hilarious, or I'm keeping it to myself.

What are you talking about S'n'D I was merely having a statistical look at Posts per Little Balls and was in no way saying (obviously or subliminally)

"GIVE SVD A LITTLE BALL"

... I would not be that obvious ... sheeesh!

So you won't be posting anymore?

lol, SVD didn't you ask for a little ball a week or 2 ago?

I wonder if any of those people have acutally posted a lot more than that but under different aliases or as anonymous.

Maybe some people only use certain names when they have something tongue-in-cheek to say?? ;)

You'e right.....I am, in fact, all of the top 6.

That was humerous DICKO, not hilarious..

; )

I say you don't get a little ball for 100% of the posts you don't make.

any one with an under 50 post per ball average should be ashamed.

Also i would like to ask Isaac to tell us all who leads the league in most "Rabbits with pancakes on their head" awarded.

Or is this a stat like charges taken that can turn a post around yet is not recorded for prosperity?

God I love that picture...lol

I actually asked him twice last week to put it up!

Would I have the worst ratio? 700+ posts and maybe 3 little balls....

The rabbit picture is like denying the lanes and setting screens in bball, valuable but doesn't get awarded on the stat sheet.

I have never received a ball :(

i dont have any balls

Oh wot wouldn't I give for just one little ball

eunuch.... you have already sacrificed enough for the cause

OUCH!

I like the dog and the broccolli picture.....

ELG, I like how your commitment to Wilt has extended to your replication of his efforts on this forum. Let me explain - lots of posts (points, rebounds) but very few of the little balls (championships) that really matter.

You truly are a dedicated disciple.

I think i have 2 and mega mega amount of posts. Does it really mean much though? Unlike you guys i dont strive for a "virtual good post award". Much more important goals in life.

Dr Bullshit, you don't live your life to gain the approval of strangers on the internet? Shame on you.

Maybe it's because I was an auditor in a past life, maybe it's becuase I'm even more bored than SVD, most likely it's a combination of the two, but I've done my own set of calculations and come up with a different leaderboard. My suspicions were raised when Bo came in a disapopinting 7th on the previous system, and after some number crunching these suspicions were confirmed - he's currently the forum's Most Efficient Poster (or MEP as I like to call it). Here's what I've come up with...

I propose that SVD loses a ball for incorrect calculations. ;)

Maybe we could get a block signal or a little ref with tech fouling someone as a negative award?

Yes, that's in the works. Positive and negative awards. Get tokens for your profile locker when making funny or informative posts. Lose them when being a rude bastard!

If my calculations are that off I deserve to lose my balls ... sorry not sure how that happened

It's ok SVD, Smyth calculated Chappell would be worthwhile and we know how that has ended.

Happens to the best off them.

Red Cards!!!!!! Bring in Red Cards!!!!! Get 3 of themm, your IP gets blocked.

That'd clear some crap off the boards.

I could think of one bloke that would last about 3 minutes. :-)

I can think of one that would be lucky to make it past the first minute.

I was just being a little more generous than you, Bizzy.

Plus.....I don't ACTUALLY think that Isaac would ban himself.

Pity......HAHA

See, that'd be a yellow card right there. ;)

I'll go all Zidane on your arse and make it worth while!!!!!

ummm, how do i put this?....

where do i find my little balls? :)

It's a long post between balls for me at the moment...

MW, true AND gold!!

lol.

if you are serious me, click leaderboard on the left hand side, and scroll down.

If not, it was funny..

MW - I don't know who you are, or anything about you, but I do know that would have to be one of the best one-liners in my short time on HoopsSA.

Well done son

gold MW

:) I had checked the leaderboard, but only posters with 5 balls or more appear...at least that explains why they walk funny.
:)

Isaac, are balls only allocated to replies and not on freshly started topics? If so I will be sure to keep my best material for further down the threads.

They do get allocated for topics (though more so to feature them than because they're funny or informative). Can't remember if topic balls count for the leaderboard table - been a while since I wrote that SQL.

I'm pretty sure my last one for starting a topic wasn't counted on the leaderboard FWIW.
