The title explains it. Give the person who posts above you a compliment, something personal, not just random. Maybe you like their current avatar. Maybe you like their sig. Maybe you like an idea they posted in another part of the forum, or you just like the personality that comes across in their posts. You get the picture.

I don't know why this hasn't been done before on here, but it's being done now.

Oh man, you beat me to the punch on this thread! I was going to start almost the exact same topic, but you probably said it better anyways. Good idea!

I'm really glad I wasn't the only one thinking about doing this.

papaSmurf, I really enjoy reading your threads and replies because they're very intelligent.

Breakfast0fChampions · 11-23-2009, 04:18 PM

Are you all confused?

You don't have to limit your compliments to things you see done on the forum like my above examples. If you think their taste in music is amazing, say so. If you think they're cute, say so.

Or is it the SA? Getting in the way of giving someone a compliment online? Or maybe I'm just unlikeable and no one can compliment me?

shadowmask · 11-23-2009, 04:24 PM

I think people may be afraid of not getting complimented.

Breakfast0fChampions, I think you have a terrific sense of humor and I know whenever I see one of your posts it'll either make me feel better or resonate with me on a personal level. Also, you're a girl. And girls are awesome.

Steve123 · 11-23-2009, 04:41 PM

Damn shadowmask bro, I don't know anything about you, but your av is badass, hard to the bone, cool to the core, so on and so forth.

How was that?

papaSmurf · 11-23-2009, 04:41 PM

I don't know that we've really crossed paths that often Shadowmask, but you seem really friendly and helpful in all your posts!

Also, you have incredibly awesome taste in adorable otter pictures. So cute!

Edit: Crap, I guess Shadowmask will just have to get double compliments

Steve123! Glad that there is someone else here on the forums who has messy handwriting (mine is very, very small, and legible to me and no one else) and an abundant hatred for chocolate oranges. We should team up.

rawrguy · 11-23-2009, 06:51 PM

I like your screen name and avatar =)

joeysoc03 · 11-23-2009, 06:53 PM

i'm also trying to survive college. but that's more like relating than complimenting. so i don't know. you're awesome for joining this site? sure let's go with that.

Franky · 11-23-2009, 06:57 PM

joeysoc03, good on you for surviving college...i like that you are putting yourself out there and trying to beat SA. Also, if your first name is really Joey, then that is a really awesome name!

Breakfast0fChampions · 11-23-2009, 07:02 PM

Franky, you have good taste in Rocky movies. Rocky I and Rocky IV are my favorites out of the series, too.

Sabriella · 11-23-2009, 07:27 PM

You seem like a very humble and thoughtful person (yes, we haven't actually come across each other, but anyway). And you can even tell people you've reported them without sounding like a b***h.

Neptunus · 11-23-2009, 07:33 PM

I can totally relate to your "status." I should change mine to "procrastinator extraordinaire." Heh, probably doesn't permit that many letters though.

We shall see!

Lovely username, too!

mrmaticus · 11-23-2009, 07:35 PM

That has to be my favourite avatar I've seen on here yet! very cool. Also, those are nice quotes for your signature.

Keith · 11-23-2009, 07:45 PM

You look like a pretty chill guy to hang out with

edit :you changed your avatar its a cool one though I like it!

retropat · 11-23-2009, 08:25 PM

You have great taste in literature. Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle are two of my favorite authors.

endtroducing · 11-24-2009, 04:08 AM

retropat, looking at your profile you seem like an open-minded person. You seem well read, and have good (and diverse!) taste in music and movies

christ~in~me · 11-24-2009, 07:47 AM

Very cute default!

rawrguy · 11-24-2009, 08:35 AM

You're really pretty

Sabriella · 11-24-2009, 03:08 PM

You like RHCP, which, in my eyes, makes you awesome
