I was using google to find out if there were any past SDMB threads on the phrase “do the needful” that keeps showing up in my emails. (There are, by the way).
I came across this website, where an SDMB thread is analyzed and posters are given 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for being active and engaging:
Whaaaat??? I just find this weird. But, uhm, congrats for winning an award I guess.
You don’t understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it. It was you, LawMonkey.
But it’s more fun to look on the right side of the page, where the bot lists “related threads”.
It tells us about a threadtitled “Bill Riley, fuckwit, just doing his job”
And informs us that “the sentiment of the discussion is negative”.
(But it doesn’t tell us whether the thread was in GD or in the Pit. Perhaps we should notify the mods? )
