That's over 13,000 comments though...
It's all in the ratio jon.

(mind - Even taking into account the ratio of comments to favourites, you're still out-favouriting me 3:1)

Actually I take that back. I do bad maths. I'm winning.
I'm actually running at a comment to favorite ratio of 10%
You're way down there on 7%

:)

They just find your grandiloquence disarming, jonmc.

When you've 2151 favourites on only 2050 comments, then we'll be talking. Shakes fist at cortex.

Only nine hundred and ninety four to go and I'm caught up with jon.

I need to track down jonson so I can watch him cry when I pass him.

Somebody unfavorited one. Fucker.

I can't help you, jonmc, I self-banned myself long ago.

posted by mischief 22 June | 09:27

Yeah, but that's only taking into account cortex's total comments on the blue. I have a feeling most of his favorites come from comments made in MetaTalk, where dude has a total of 6656 comments as of 9:28 this morning. Somewhat less impressive, eh?

Whereas...

Atom Eyes:
70 total comments across the three Meta- sites
74 favorites

105.71% of my comments have been favorited.

At this rate, when I reach one million comments, I'll have garnered 105,710,000 favorites!

Atom Eyes has me beat, that's for sure. You should have a 1000 comment party, jonmc. That's what I did. Rented out a hall, hired a band. Whole shebang. It was a great day. Okay I made that up.

posted by miss lynnster 22 June | 10:38

You all are calculating favorites % based on comments alone. But posts can be favorited, too.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 22 June | 10:50

And there you go, jonmc.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 22 June | 10:51

Also jonmc is wunna them ol skool postas who posted half they comments b4 favorites even existed, duh.

posted by Hugh Janus 22 June | 11:01

I bet the porch is gonna see some yeehawing tonight.

posted by chewatadistance 22 June | 11:12

Are we counting comments as just those on the blue or total?

And yeah, making a lot of posts is a hell of a lot easier way to get on the favorites high-score list, as you get a ton more exposure.

posted by Rhomboid 22 June | 11:21

Make sure it's a post everyone can enjoy, though. Something like this:

An Obese SUV Driver Circumcised My Cat! *add to favorites*

posted by Fuzzy Monster 22 June | 11:30

Holy Cow! I have had a comment favorited by two (2!) people! Since I really don't comment over there much at all these days, I hadn't even checked until now.
