"16 Candles (10 points)
As popular as the heart throb in an 80s teen rom-com."

Some kind of context to know why I've received this notification on this forum would be handy. Even the list of other 'winners' wasn't helpful, a whole tonne of people who have posted less than 10 times, then UsAndThem.

Can I redeem these points? Maybe 1 point equals 10% of a decent 2TB SSD?

LOL. I'm guessing that this was a notification of a "forum achievement", probably so many people selected "Love" for your post. 10 points goes towards your forum achievements points total.

I'm not aware that you can turn in any of them towards hardware.

It's a forum achievement I'm pretty sure, it just popped up in my notifications list.

 

[sdifox]

Great, now forum is popping up a notification to notify me I have blocked notification...

I think it's the difference between like and love.

Okay, that's not it. It doesn't seem to be the ratio between posts and likes either. Maybe posters need to cover their cameras when visiting the forums. Perk is always watching.

I used a sticker to cover the camera. This notification icon is pissing me off.

I just figured it was a Taco Bell ad and ignored it. Maybe Purch is gunning to be the newspaper website of tech websites.

Despite IronWing's complete love-in of my posts on this thread, I have not received any new trophies!

And no, my purpose in creating this thread was not to harvest likes.

I thought the difference between like and love was spit or swallow...

Use the Brave browser, it will block all that shit and since there are no add-ons that sell sites the information that you are blocking their shit you don't have to allow ads on any sites.
