What? Really?!? With this crazy group of number nerds?

I'd been keeping an eye on your thumbs too ... when I wrote a few reviews in April, I closed the gap briefly, and thought for a minute I could beat you to 1,000 thumbs, but hahaha, no way! I'm no match for your review-cranking machine. :)

What's a guy got to do to get Diamond badge? As Wellsbranch pointed out, I have 1446 thumbs up. However I have 376 courses reviewed and I think Wellsbranch and Dreadlock86 has thumbs up every one of them.

Because I mostly play Texas courses, and I like to review courses no one else has reviewed first, I don't always review the most looked at courses.

I always wondered why my review of a Houston course had so much response, then I noticed It was linked in this forum for my review of that horrible course.

I did finally add my 75th course to the database and got that diamond level badge.

Oh, and if you want to see something crazy, I have all my DG trips logged from the last 5 years. I only logged my "Disc Golf Days" where I take off and play new courses all day. I do have a couple of trips logged on there too.

You need thumbs from 250 unique users. I don't know if there is a way to even know how many you have unless you physically count them from all your reviews. Staying in one part of the country does tend to limit that number. Reviewing very popular courses just within and outside your main area may be a way to go...

Good luck!

if you don't have the patience to count the names on your reviews, you could send timg a message and ask how close you are on unique voters. he can see it on his end and maybe might have a moment to take a look.

moderators don't have access to that, do they?

Kind of surprising that Valk hasn’t reviewed one course in 2021 yet. I have a feeling he’s planning an epic 100 course road trip over the summer

Pretty Sad, isn’t it? Been stuck at home and haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve played almost every course in hundreds of miles but I am planning on getting down to Oregon and knock off a couple new courses.

I know how that goes, I am running out of courses to play too. Going to knock out several Oklahoma courses tomorrow.

You and Upshaw1979 have got to be the leaders in terms of worst votes per review average. I swear every time I stumble upon one of your reviews, it only has a couple positive votes on it. I've given your first positive vote at least twice on reviews that were at least a year old. Just looking now, you have at least 40 reviews with only a single vote. Cough, cough other voters. It's not hard to see which courses need votes.

Or, you can just bribe everyone with pizza. That works too!

Green peppers, mushrooms and tomato, please....

At this point, nothing I do is gonna get you any closer. Only my 1st :thmbup: counts as unique. :|

Wellsbranch250 et al,

Please show more respect! That exalted reviewer should be addressed as "Sir TVK" by us common plebes who have not yet played 1000 courses.

Haha, right? Diminishing returns...
