Two is more than a lot of other people have done...One thing to remember tho' is that most of the people that get on the front page a lot, didn't b**ch about other users getting there...not saying you are but that others do.
My first meme went to the first spot on the front page, I thought that every meme did that, like it was some kind of rotation system. Took me a minute to realize that was not the case when my next 20 didn't get anywhere near it.lol
I like DashHopes a lot, we both have two immediate things in common: 1) We both make spelling/grammar mistakes often. 2) We hate being Grammar Nazied, I just wanted to beat the Grammar Nazis and you know, "Soften the Blow" of making a boo boo! Lol. :)
I'm absolutely crying here! When I was Hewbrew School when I was younger my teacher was particularly brutal about the spelling and grammar. Having ADHD and dyslexia didn't help me one bit. It's probably why I haven't spoken Hebrew in over 25 years! Lol :)
DashHopes seems to look at my memes a lot. Last week my notifications were going nuts with "DashHopes commented on your image." Try to look at my memes please, some are funny.
For me, I get in and out of "The Groove", Somedays are better than others. My first memes, looking back on them, were primitive and not terribly well thought out (wording could of been better). But as you look at other user's memes, they do inspire and teach you something , that's one of the attractions of ImgFlip for me! :)
That's how I get my best memes. :) Once I started being less aloof - or really, shy in my case - onsite I noticed my memeing improved by leaps and bounds. I'm not overtly social by nature so when I opened up to the input of others I found things came easier.
I see users with over 100,000 points and then look at when they joined and it says "joined 11-10-16" or something like that. Newer users who joined just three months ago already have 400,000 points.
I think the site has grown quite a bit over the past year and it's definitely showing. A lot more memes getting over 200 upvotes. I used to see few memes being upvoted over 200.
That surge in users is why I have reposted some of my own successful memes...so I can see if newer users will like them as well...that and I know the original poster won't mind...LOL
Just kidding. Yeah, I didn't get a front page for months, but that was probably because I started as almost all politics in my memes. Gotta stay funny and make people smile. I HAVE noticed lots of newbies in the upper echelons. Good. New blood to suck from. ;)
The closest I ever got to the front page was a meme with 54 upvotes. Two slots away from making it

This would also seem to squash that theory. There's not even room for all these users on the front page, and I've never seen a front page with only leaderboard members.
I see a lot of people with 10-20k points whining about how you're "overrated", and "only popular users make the front page." Their images are almost never funny, I don't know how they expect what they do.
That and the fact that most of the users that b**ch about popular users are unwilling to do what is necessary to become popular, which is make thousands of "funny" meme comments....if a person can't or simply doesn't want to spend the kind of time on this site that we do to become popular, they can't expect the same kind of results that we get. The other thing is, when I was a new user, I never once complained about users that were on the front page all the time, that's just stupid and only makes yourself look bad...instead I asked many of them for help and pointers and took the advice about commenting...The rest is history.... All I can say about the haters is when they figure out that the only thing keeping from the top is their attitude, then maybe they will do better.
SO YOU SAY ONLY THE POPULAR USERS CAN GET ON THE FRONT PAGE; THE NUMBER OF NEW USERS ON THE FRONT PAGE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ALONE HAS DETERMINED THAT TO BE A LIE
hotkeys: D = random, W = like, S = dislike, A = back
Re-caption this meme
I'm Jewish so this doesn't count as getting "Grammar Nazied"
That's hilarious lol
