# They're both rubbish.
Praise people's work in your own words, not with a meaningless chant.

# Right.
I'm going to start saying things are pulchritudinous.

How would you praise such a piece of work :)

# If it were my work which were being praised,
I would infinitely prefer to receive a reply which a little thought had been put into.
People 'woo yay' everything, so it's meaningless.
(, Mon 4 Jul 2005, 0:31, archived)
# That's true,
but I think it still quite obviously means niceness and congratulations. You have to try quite hard to feel any other way about getting 'woo/yay'-ed, and there doesn't seem much point frankly.

If I post some work I want quantity replies :)

# Personally,
when I post a picture I want people to look at it and think a little about what they're saying, rather than replying with the same thing that they've replied to every other post with.

# i rarely get wooyay-ed but i'm happy when i do.
it doesn't make the pic any better or worse,if i thought the pic was crap i wouldn't post it it the first place.

# Your right it does sound somehow more sincere
I, Attila the Bun, henceforth from this moment, resolve, nay promise, only to lay praise (or ridicule) at the feet of said deliverer of pictatorial offerings in words properly catalogued in any one of the dictionaries suppling the Queen's English.



gotta say though...woo takes less time to type

# All I'm saying
is that 'woo yay' (or any of its counterparts) are simply a cheap and way to say "I like that, that is good" without having to think about your praise or what it is you're praising, and that it's pointless to try to change 'woo yay' to something which sounds even more stupid.

# It's just that
on a long enough time line, everything would just become another woo/yay, cuz it'd all have been repeated ad nauseum evetually. so woo/yay is actually highly philosophical. ;)
