Stupid question, but just answer.
In case you didn't know, no I don't know the history of Zing!, so feel free to <wrong word, cant remember the right one> about it.
[B]NO![/B]
Yes. You might be a bit too fresh to remember the reign of Zing.
Zing was the most coveted rating back in the day.
Ah, I remember those days... that was when I made my first Gmod comic. Mind you it got criticized, but it was a good day none the less.
ITT: We reminisce about pre-2008 Facepunch
I missed Zing, and I still miss the old funny icon. :v:
I remember when ratings were tied to the person's account.
That way you knew if someone was dumb just by looking at the icon next to their name.
I still think we should have awful spelling.
I wish they didn't replace the bad reading icon with the zing icon, there are times when you need the bad reading icon

Compwhizzi should bring it back. Craptasket would have nipples. Everywhere.
I was scared of the smartness system and ratings that stuck to your account, I just lurked back in 08, then they removed it and I start posting
If used correctly.
yeah, it fits really witty comments.

clever disguise thread to get people to rate him zings
Zing doesn't really make much sense to me right now, but I'm just an 09er :smith:
Well I preffer zing and winner to bad spelling and reading. Zing is slightly different to funny and can be used in specific occasions. Winner is fantastic. But bad spelling and bad reading can also be replaced by dumbs which is what someone who is bad at spelling or reading will be rated anyway.
Definitely, it defines how witty and clever a person is and how they win at life.
I think the problem is the Winner rating - there's no proper distinction between it and Zing and as a result they're both subject to inflation, reducing their value.

Now we only need the old funny icon back

I'd love to have :v: for Funny and :downs: for Dumb, at least it'd avoid the retarded gimmick of saying "HURR I GIVE YOU BOXES"
[QUOTE=darnok;26237581]I remember when ratings were tied to the person's account.

The fact they were stored + being able to see who rated you resulted in people just searching all your posts and rate you back
So even tho it is nice to have legit ratings stored it causes too much shitstorm and whining
