OT: The @bjc42 effect.

[Fishy]

Was at work, catching up on all the posts on the board right now

God, these bots are so sophisticated these days

 

[CL82]

Including me. So go screw.

Actually, Mikey hated everything, so, ironically, this post actually works.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

You may be on to something here.

I imagine you know the year Jim Calhoun was born.....

Ah didn’t even think of that but it’s all starting to add up.

BJC is a bot, not a real person. Very common on many social sites (programmed or bought by the platform owner of sponsor) to "show" engagement. Makes people feel better and wanted - as illustrated by some of these comments!

You sir, don’t deserve nice things.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Honestly, he’s my favorite person here.

He just goes about liking posts and not doing stupid crap like asking where he can find the best waffle in Danbury or how many minutes some walkon is gonna get next year or pretending that he was just listening to their greatest hits when someone posts that a Wiggle died.

The Wiggles, nah, but we were listening to these guys.

 

[HuskyFich]

This was posted over an hour ago and has received no like from @bjc42. Please act accordingly.

He eventually got there.

It’s tough being an icon and influencer, lots of people wanting your attention…Especially when you’re going viral.

Thanks for the crumbs, BJC!

Update?

BJC hits me within 5 minutes of most posts.

I know if I don’t get one from him, the post should probably be deleted for lack of anything of quality or substance.

Keeps me humble.

One time, while at band camp, I saw bjc didn't like one of my posts. So I tagged him/her and asked him/her to look at post #___. And later he/she liked it!!

One of the Wiggles died? Please respond that you're clowning.

Now that I've hit a 100,000 reaction score I would like to thank @bjc42 for the huge help in getting there. Would have taken me another 10 years without you. Thanks man.

I don't want to be an icon lol, that's for God alone.

No problem, your posts are pretty good, I have to admit!

Thanks. A like right back at you. Only 98,899 more to go.

This is classic bjc

Is that a good or bad thing?

 

[Jaydumo20]

It's a good thing. It's a very good thing

“IndyLives” is a very suspicious name. How’s the weather in Moscow today?

You work? I thought Temery contracted you out to make us all feel we are contributors to this forum even if some have no idea what they are talking about. LOL!

 

[Travelman6]

You like posts so you can remember what you have and haven't read, I get it.

And somehow you are left with the impression that the people that run this board care about how we feel. This thread was cute but now it is starting to go off the rails. I for one believe that @bjc42 is exactly who they said they were when asked that question when his likes gained attention when he first started.

And if this is the way he tracks the posts he reads then that is fine. Everyone thought J. Edger Hoover was crazy when he started his first cataloging process with the FBI. You know the one that was turned into what we now recognize as the NCIC system which law enforcement uses to check the background on a suspect or when someone applies for a professional business-license that is state controlled.


Also I feel compelled to use they as the pronoun describing @bjc42 since we are assuming he is a man.

I agree he/they are a breath of fresh air for this board. Anyone who listens/read more than they talk/write is someone we (myself included) can learn from.

Tip of the hat to the Boneyard legend in the making. Keep doing you @bjc42…

 

[mauconnfan]

Can we rename likes to BJCs?

Or maybe BJs…C?

100,000 is a phenomenal achievement

Thanks did not want to assume. Everything I said still stands. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air from the normal BY throat punch culture.

In fairness, it’s not a culture. There’s only one Puncher of Throats.

You probably have one of my most liked handles. From the moment he broke my heart with the shot that beat us after the “It’s late, it’s Tate, it’s great” shot I am not sure I have despised a player and by association team more than I dislike Laetner and Dook. That game started my pure hatred and your handle always brings a smile to my face and then a moment of remembering the pain he caused.

Also not sure which member you are referring too in your post and perhaps you are taking throat punch literally….for me it means rather than maturely debating a disagreement or mistake related to a members post we have many who prefer to ridicule or insult those who have different opinions.

I know I am relatively new to the board and I do not spend any time on any social media platform. BY has taught me first hand what I already knew, social media interactive sites are just not good for a persons well being.

Unfortunately my love for UConn MBB transcends my aversion to cyber bullying and the BY is the best place for me to get news and in that sense it provides me with information I could not get anywhere else. And I am not doing the whole X thing. There is a reason suicides are at an all time high and social media bullying is the biggest reason. So happy it was not around when I was younger and insults impacted me more than they do now.

And what I find amazing is that most on this board count UConn’s MBB as one of, if not their number one past time. Yet we spend more time going at each other rather than debating like adults. Do not get that vitriol at all.

Appreciate the kind words re: my handle. I respect that Laettner’s probably the best college player ever and if my kids played hoops I’d have no problem sending them to one of his camps, but couldn’t stand his antics at Duke and that shot was a dagger through my heart as a youngin’.

The internet and social media brings out an ugly side of people regardless of the platform but this is really my prime source of Husky info and well…venting in the chat during games. Every site has a boatload of curmudgeons and this place has plenty but the good outweighs the bad here so ya kinda roll your eyes and move on to the next post/thread.
