What can you do/get with lurve and when can you do/get it?

Asked by cdwccrn (3620points) January 3rd, 2009 from iPhone

Or is it just a visual that indicates time on site/activity on site/popularity on site?

I guess it’s a hierarchy thing,pretty pointless really as regards reward.
It would be worth something if you achieved a landmark score then fluther gave an amount of money to your chosen Charity.
Shall we start a petition?

You get the pleasure of knowing someone thought your answer was a good one! Popularity has nothing to do with it.. or at least it’s not supposed to.

Oasis that is brilliant!!! Although it is pointless, u still get a lurve for that!

jholler's avatar

Wait, I can’t redeem it for prizes like my skeeball tickets??

cookieman's avatar

Once a month, I spread all my lurve on a bed and roll around in it.

In this question: http://www.fluther.com/disc/31242/have-you-gotten-lurve-but-not-seen-your-points-go-up/ the poster says something about trading in lurve for a fluther tee.
I haven’t found that option yet though.

@Resurge it was only a joke. Lurve points don’t ‘buy’ anything.

I’m not sure Fluther generates the kind of revenue to allow for free t-shirts or charity donations. I don’t think they even pay the mods.

Lurve is just a way of seeing how many people have hit “great answer” on your quips and a little bit for how many people have added you to their fluther and for logging in each day. It’s a measure of experience with the site and of the esteem in which you’re held by fellow Flutherites. It’s a pat on the head and a thumb’s-up.

Can’t buy me lurrrrve…

cookieman's avatar

Everybody tells me so

augustlan's avatar

You can’t do anything with it but feel happy about it. Or, feel lurved.

oasis's avatar

scamp's avatar

Oh yeah.. no one has ever thought of that before!

@laureth: Still, I think it’d be nice to give a shirt to the 10K club. :) It’d be a nice gesture of appreciation for contribution to the sites success and overall quality. But then, I think some people would step up the scamming efforts just for a free shirt. :-/

If you bring your lurve points to any Starbucks in the US you can get a tall Mocha for $3.35.

I’m holding out for the BowFlex.

joni1977's avatar

I wouldn’t know. Nobody likes me :((

AstroChuck's avatar

That’s not true. I happen to know that laureth likes you.

and maybe wildflower.

oasis's avatar

And i like people who aren’t liked.

joni1977's avatar

laureth's avatar

Ssssh, AC! You weren’t supposed to tell!

wildflower's avatar

AC; are you spreading rumours about me again?? Tsk tsk!

jholler's avatar

joni, are you 90’s kid?

90s_kid's avatar

Ha….But I am sort of over it. I think I accidentally passed the baton to him…
Joni don’t even go there we all like you.

joni1977's avatar

@90’s Kid…you mean her? You all like me, you really like me! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. LMAO

AstroChuck's avatar

Wow. And I thought it was just laureth and (maybe) wildflower. Go figure.

90s_kid's avatar

sorry. Her. I didn’t see the i

jholler's avatar

…and yet you typed it correctly.

90s_kid's avatar

oh yeah…See this is why I need a picture so that I can tell.

jlm11f's avatar

Fluther gains barely enough revenue to sustain Ben and Andrew. And laureth is right, the mods do their jobs for free. Lurve is about someone telling you “thank you for that wonderful quip/insightful question”. I don’t think it should be any more or any less than that.

AstroChuck's avatar

Oh, yeah, sure, PnL. Like you and richardhenry and all the other mods aren’t really cleaning up.

PupnTaco's avatar

Lurve is a many Splenda-ed thing.

joni1977's avatar

yes it is Pup…jholler u rock! :P lol

joni1977's avatar

90’s Kid, it’s ok. Just teasing ya
