He only reason this got the #1/#2 spot is because it was in the right place at the right time. It went “viral”, so to speak, and the continuing war with the explicit-rated #1 did nothing but massively inflate the numbers of both images.
@Keith Mowz
Yeah, and more than two dozen that aren’t safe, were you could say the exact same thing about. So your point is?
It is rather annoying that we have this score war about those particular images in the last few years. But that only shows that a high score says absolutely nothing about quality, but so much about popularity.
|| Funny enough, but, does that sound like an unintentional allegory to the presidential election? If so, this was honestly unintentional.||
@Xidphel
We currently have more than a dozen safe images with a score of over 2000. There is no shortage of highly rated d’aww on this site, and every single one of those results is of higher aesthetic quality than this simple mashup of two screencap gifs. If any of those had been in the running for top scoring for the last four years instead of this picture, they would probably still be #1.
@SeraphimDawn
Because it’s not as popular for reasons that have been repeatedly discussed and which are not limited to “because the other one is porn lol”
@nerfherder
No need to worried all of your previous comment’s avatar will change within a few day. It’s just the site cache that aren’t really fast for updating it.
@Arcaire
as I said before
“I know it’s a silly what if scenario and the chances of it happening are… very slim… but that’s why It fascinates me”
as far as hackers go.. you never know.. people have hacked for less
I do have one final question
how do you change your profile image?
is it possible to use a google image/gif
for example
if you could help me with this {i’m sort of a noob XD} I’d be most appreciative
@nerfherder
I work in information security (my day job is hacking things and defending against people hacking things) and monitor all our systems 24/7.
Anyone with sufficient skill to evade any security we have in place wouldn’t burn their ability and exploits on a pony imageboard.
@CyanLightning
oh damn…. could you imagine if a duck with a permabann was actually a hacker specifically a good one?
they could not only come back, but run completely rampant because it doesn’t matter how good the mods are {you guys are pretty good btw} NO system, site, or program is unhackable {I know it’s a silly what if scenario and the chances of it happening are… very slim… but that’s why It fascinates me}
