Today my love for the Queen got me over 100 stars on the FP, this doesn’t happen often and it got me thinking, “When did I first get 100 stars?” I thought long and hard and remembered it was on Jezebel that I first triple digits. Here it is in all its glory, it’s about Martin Lawrence.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

So Oppo, what was your first over 100 starred comment?

DISCUSSION (49)

I’ve never had a 100 stars but I share your love for Her Majesty.

God Save The Queen.

Don’t feel bad; I’ve been here for longer than I’d like to admit and still haven’t gotten that cheevo

Or I have and forgot about it. I dunno any more

I can’t go back far enough in my notifications to find my 1st (and only) over 100 stars but it was a good one around the time of that Range Rover and the motorbikes getting run over

But how? Everyone that has comment on this so far I see all the time on here. Damn it! I’ve only done it a few times. But it’s just good timing. Also everyone loves Queen Elizabeth II.

It was probably for a QOTD where the question was “what automotive brand changed the most in the last 10 years?” My response was “Pontiac. It went from being alive to being dead.”

The only other one I could think of was when the Abomination was on the front page and some dude was shitting on it, and I called him out on it. People seemed to like that.

there were a lot of comments on those posts. I can see that plenty of people got lots of stars.

This one. I always seem to get more stars for crappy comments made while half asleep.

I made a pretty catchy comment about some harbor freight wheels during a COTD blackout phase. I think it hit like 300. Pretty sure that was my first.

I remember that first post I think I got first with Jaguar Landrover but you had way more stars than I did.

No clue, my crowning achievement is getting two AOTDs in the same list no less than three times. I did make a post on oppo that got around 500 replies (yay FP!) while being appropriately 10 words long.

I’m legitimately embarassed about this one though... Thanks for making me dig these up

Agrajag > Leon711
12/31/2015 at 12:24

It could have something to do with the fact I’ve probably commented on fp/gawker proper fewer times than I have fingers.

On Oppo, I think I’ve hit the 30-40 mark more than once.

12/31/2015 at 12:24

mine wasn’t in that main article, there was another one like a day or 2 later in a similar situation like a cop had to give up a biker chase or something like that due to being outnumbered and I posted a pic of a Range Rover police car and said that could be his backed up to them being friendly with bikes (this long winded comment makes it sound lame but it was funny at the time)

This isn’t my first, but it’s my most starred comment yet. I just wanna share it:

I’ve had a few more, but I don’t remember those.

Yeah. Really, I’m just happy I made a few people laugh.

I had a comment in the Alternator tattoo story that was at 200-something. I don’t actually think it was my first though.

I can’t boast two in the same list but I can boast my first appearance on AOTD was being number one on the list.

Leon711 > Agrajag
12/31/2015 at 12:29

Ah see I don’t get much on Oppo. I do try and steer clear of some of the meatheads on the FP.

Leon711 > TheHondaBro
12/31/2015 at 12:31

I would have liked it more if it had 420 stars instead of 421./blaze it

Because you were half asleep.

I can dig that. It’s nice to make people laugh.

Nah. I get recommendations on them when it’s shared to the FP.

Jcarr > Leon711
12/31/2015 at 12:33

I can’t remember if this is my first, but it was definitely my fastest. It passed 100 in less than 20 minutes on its way to over 400.

Probably wasn’t the first one, and certainly wasn't the biggest hit, but it’s the one that I recall making me chuckle the most:

Still randomly gets stars to this day (who the hell is reading QOTD over a year later?)

I was front paged 5 times before I was ungreyed so I have yet to have a comment surpass the 100 stars barrier.

Ouch. I remember a time before the greys.

All on Kotaku. If only the others can follow me back to ungrey my ass then I think I’ll hit the 200 club.

Mine was for a comment on some bad dealership stories on the FP or something were I made a comment to someone about this concept already being done on Jezebel with “Behind Closed Ovens”. Out of everything I’ve posted on the FP, this was the only post to exceed 100 stars and it wasn’t even car related......

Pinkham took it over to a site called Wonkette and its now called off the menu. FYI the website is definitely a little risqué to read at work
