The one thing that troubles me about this site.

The site never really worked, but now it is worse than ever. Originality is punished at every turn. And then factor in making an outstanding political meme, and 90% of people don't see it. Ok, you don't like politics? Not someone to read the news? FIne- what have you against gaming? So, you make an original and outstanding meme which makes an oblique reference to a video game, and submit it, but it's rejected in fun. Ok, submit it in gaming... makes front page for a week, gets 4 views and 1 upvote. This site is such a bag o' shite, but they actually managed to make it worse.

Upvotes, comments, views - that's how memes make it to the Front Page here. Memers have no one to blame but themselves. Fadists, sycophants, and people congragating on memes where their friends are, just like anything in life.

Also like anything in life, you throw people a pile of plain crackers to eat, they gobble it up, no complaints. You go out of their way to please them with a four star three course meal for free, and the unappreciative asswipes opt to b!tching for more instead of showing a little gratitude. Boo hoo, not every single Dear Diary Facebook Status meme self indulgent centers of the universe post or the stolen memes they pretend are their very own original genius works of art make it.

THAT'S the problem with this site, it's too good to people. Bite the hands that bleeds, when they should just get scrotums shoved in their mouths to shut up and swallow like thye would get anywhere else.

congregating*

like they* would

Genius!

heh heh,,,

Nice name there, yeah

Very well said

Thank you, I have my moments,,, haha

Thanks. Too many want the silver platter with limo treatment when they should be thankful just to get it wrapped in paper at the drive thru,,,

The majority of users only scroll Hot and upvote wayyy too generously. This means that once a submission gets enough traction to get in the top few pages of Hot, it's a lot more likely to do well than memes only visible farther down. It's like it picks up its own momentum.

I don't have a problem with "rest in peace" memes and I dontneven have a problem with them making the front page, but I think if they make the front page, they should look as if they had thought put into them. I also have a problem with seeing good memes not get seen and generic memes get all the attention. I wish there was a way that the memes make it to the front page based on how good the meme is, not based on the order it happens to be posted on the "latest."

Well not exactly but then cannot find anyone else who's tried!

For once I totally agree with you. :)

It’s not always ‘FUN’ in the fun section.
Maybe imgflip needs a new section for memorials/tributes.

Peace.

Another section?

I totally agree! One of my memes didn't make it to the front page, and I blame those memorial/tribute memes!! D-:< They should add a section for those so we don't get pushed down by non-fun memes!

But that would bring tragedy to a fun meme site. Every section is fun to some extent so a section dedicated to a sore topic would encourage that. I think the mods should just be more strict about featuring "fun" memes.

I actually did upvote you

: P

Someone had to say it

Still not as bad as when we had politics meshed in with the rest

true

Some absolute garbage reaches the front page while funny original memes languish 20 pages down the list. In the end It's a case of making memes for your own entertainment, if they are popular, all well and good, but if they're not ....... meh!

j/k. I feel what you're saying. I just think they'll either do nothing to change this, or just create a new 'Stream' for this type of thing.

WE WILL MISS STAN WITH HIS AMAZING CREATIVE LOGIC

this got to the front page, which reiterates your point

It's so damn true it's funny and it inspired this
