instant marmite!

# *yes*
I actually hate Marmite, and the chances of this being Fp'd are zero, but what the fuck.

# Well, the mods are a bunch of sycophantic whores.
We need a board based on actual votes, and not some fat cunts decision.

Or, a People's Popular Cunt, something.

And no, this has nothing to do with my own shit, as the stuff I make is understoood by no one, except me.

:D

# having mods do the fp'ing is a good thing IMHO
if fp images were automatically selected by number of votes then it could be rigged
also the mods will fp images that not many people saw or voted for because they are good/funny (which probably explains a few of the images I've had put on the front page)

the popular page is an excellent feature of b3ta, it means you do get to see the really good/funny stuff

agreed about popular.
it's for the days you can't be arsed to lurk for hours waiting for the funny.

I'd very much like to see a "More" down at the bottom of popular. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for b3ta for a few weeks, or I just want to look back and get a second laugh at stuff.

# Closest I can manage


Edit : I'm not saying I agree or disagree. I do see the odd thing on the FP and think "Oh, it's only because it's him", but I've put that down to my tastes not being the same as everybody elses.

I don't let it worry me. We now have 2 ways of making our own "best" pages. The new friend system is a plus there - although the word "friend" is a bit misleading.

# That would be a VERY good idea.
One of the better suggestions I've seen, as it doesn't split up the board and is likely to make a lot of people happy without making anyone really upset.

# I do agree, to an extent.
Mods seem to FP things by people they like more than favour the images that are good/funny etc sometimes.

It's not always the case though, and some things do definitely deserve being on there, but if everything 280px wide on the popular page went on there, it would be fairly quick moving, and fairly lame I think.

It's a bit hit and miss, but it seems to work.

# Ive noticed a few front pages sneaking through that have about 3 comments saying lol
while another popular image will get 50 LOLs and just get left to rot on the popular page.

# This is the case sometimes
And leaves a lot of people wondering.

I think the suggestions about a link to "Other popular images" or "Other images you may like" would be brilliant.

Not just because it would keep people happy, but the other elements of b3ta would become popular.

You never see the brilliant art on the front page unless it's funny, but some stuff is just phenomenal. It deserves to have recognition and exposure, so that would keep even more people happy.

I can't see who would be upset by the addition of it.
