This is a pirate one.
Think about if the first one sets a record of "a post that is recommended most" in RHP history.
It would be cool.
So, this is a rebelious poll. It's a different idea. It's not Russ poll, he would not offer one I assume.
Save your valuable points because nobody need yours. You are just average anybody on the curb who does what he is told to. This comment goes to leisurelysloth and reader1107.

While I would like to see the recs return, I don't want to waste one of my precious ten recs on this thread. And no, this isn't a democracy, nor should it be. I know the effort I put in keeping my school's piddly web site going and growing, and I'd be furious if some student decided to take a survey and then demand that I act according to the results of ...[text shortened]... d the time and effort and money that Russ and company do, then you can help make the rules.
Just wondering. 🙂

As it is it looks like people don't want the rec count back.
The easy reason is: it was used not in the intended manner. It's kind of nice if people see a rec as a recommendation of themselves, but it is peverted if people are posting for the sole reason of getting a recommendation.
The recommendation should people lead to interesting well thought and informative posts. They pointed people to posts which mostly were sarcastic, idiotic, solipsistic and without refernce to chess .
I spend one of mine for your thread Gino, so that your personal count can go up (why don't you get a thread rolling, where is a list with the recs you got? That would be something to do for you.
Cheers

Hey Gino, you've been here since January this year, well after the rec counts were removed. What was your username back when the rec count was around?
