Quoted from ralphwiggum:To the OP.... Can I ask a serious question that I mean no harm by whatsoever? You sent a PM to one of my buddies asking him to follow you as a friend (he doesn't know you), and started this post to generate hearts for others. Both of these appear to be done to gain Pinside achievements. I really dont care one way or the other about any of this stuff, but was just curious if gaining achievements is just a fun part of the hobby for you? I have never seen anyone chase achievements, and didn't realize this was a thing.
Keep on keepin' on....[quoted image]
I occasionally reach out to pinsiders who I enjoy posts/memes from because I like to be connected to easily find their posts. I HIGHLY recommend doing it. It makes it far easier to find them on your dashboard. It is one of my favorite features on here. Far too few actually use all that pinside has to offer. It is quite extensive.
As far as hearts, I opened this thread because I thought it would be a nice thing to do. People tend to complain about negativity, but so seldom inject any "positivity." I have donated hearts before, and I started this thread off by offering several pinsiders a donated heart, and hoped that others might join in to pay it forward.
It occurs to me that many "fire" threads are immensely popular (people love a trainwreck)...but positive threads don't get much interest. Oddly enough (or...not so oddly, perhaps), this thread was started about the same time as a flame thread which has about quintuple the amount of posts as this one. People tend to complain about negativity...yet they gravitate towards it, and even add-on to it. Openly questioning someone's motives that has donated quite a bit of money on numerous occasions would likely fit into this ideology as well. This is the essence of why the phrase "only on Pinside" exists.
