Just curious. It seems a lot of the posters I thought would have more by now, do not really have that many. I know I still give 'em out for posts that make me think, for stuff I didn't know and would not be able to Google (like some of the stuff in the Greatest Starting 5 thread - you know, some of the old-timers that actually watched Russell and other greats play and are able to teach me things about those players) or it could be other reasons, like making me laugh or smile. But like I said, I'm just curious.

Of course. 



Just wait till the CB draft starts tomorrow.  You will see TPs flying.

Yes, but not as much as I used to.  That has more to do with the drama they caused than anything else.  Losing all of them to the Lakers left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, as well.

I was happy with the way the "Pledge Your TPs" thread turned out, though, even though I wished for a better result.

Let's just say we sent them to the heavens to be taken care of by Red, DJ and Reggie.

Losing them all to the Fakers was worth it to me. It was just another reminder of the prudence of not gambling, and why I only do it on the rarest occasions now compared to the "old days".

props for the 33333, and having 6k+ tps AFTER the loss to the Lakers!

Impressive!

Well I handed everybody I could a TP. When the unspeakable happened on June 17, 2010, and my lucky charms failed me for one of the few times a could remember I gave pause.

Now I start my lucky charm rehab and hopefully that will make the Celtics rebound better. I suspect the O'Neal brothers, KG, and the BBD Pickup Truck Stubby Little ShreQ character will be instrumental in getting rebounds.

And in June 2011 we will be singing a different tune and I finally get to smoke my victory cigars on my boat in Puget Sound under the full Red Auerbach moon (just I like I did in the Back Porch of Q's prarie ranch in Kansas in 2008).

Thanks.  The TPs are a bit (a lot) inflated, but the posts were all me.

Yup. And about as often as I always did.

It's just I have never been a prolific bestow-er of TPs but neither am I stingy.

I still give TP's for posts that impress me or for posters I feel are worthy at about the same pace as I did before.  I don't always think to tell people when I give a TP.  I just give it.

I was impressed that you and the staff actually kept the TPs gone.  It would've been easy to just say "Just kidding, losing to the Lakers is bad enough, so we won't add insult to injury" and just give them back.  But a bet's a bet, and I'm happy to see the site went through with it, no matter how crazy some of the counts look now.

I haven't been on the site as much lately, but I've been trying to TP the posters who lost most or all of their TPs in that thread, just to get them back up to a more respectable number.  And I always TP posts that make me laugh or make a good point.  Usually don't announce it though.

i used to hand out a few tommy pts a day to different posts that i thought were worthy, but mostly for posts that made me laugh.

now i rarely hand them out.  dont see the point anymore.  it used to be a fun novelty, but my feelings have changed to now where i dont think, care, or have any feelings about them (both positive or negative).  my involvement and interest with the blog in general has declined over the last few months, especially with the offseason.....so that must have something to do with my outlook on the tp's
