Birthday Game: Scavenger Hunt the meh Forum!
12It’s a meh forum scavenger hunt!
I want you to flex your forum-searching skills to locate 15 different posts. Here’s how it works:
I’ll post each item in a comment, you post your answer in a reply to that comment. (If you don’t put it in a reply, it won’t count.)
Each comment/post is it’s own mini-game, so you don’t need to find all 15 to play.
You will need to post the link to the specific comment/content we’re looking for.
Check out the instructions on each post, some will require a screenshot, others an answer from you.
{To search our forums, you can click the speech bubble in the upper right, then use the search bar.}
Got it? Great - now run my minions!

@Thumperchick https://meh.com/forum/topics/you-win-this-round-meh--well-played
@medz wasn’t topped, so he got the win!
We were going to send a fuko, but you’re not a fan of low-value prizes, so please accept this gif:
@medz @Thumperchick so is this still open then?
@datruandi @medz nah, this is closed.
@medz @Thumperchick confused so is there a topic with more likes or not?
@datruandi @Thumperchick as long as nobody else gets the fuko
(Post link and total.)
@Thumperchick
@lichme add the total there for me, please.
@Thumperchick
$497,228
@lichme looks like no one thinks they can beat you, so you won this one!
(Post link.)
@Thumperchick
@Thumperchick
Technically: This one
@Thumperchick Trick Question!
The lowest ever revenue Meh sale ($97) was actually a Fuko!
However, if we discount Fukos, then the lowest revenue sale, coming in at just $122, is this thing:
Clocking in at just $5 more was the time Meh sold us literal shit:
@ShotgunX @Thumperchick I bought those snakes. Two sets.
Total garbage.
@lichme got us on a technicality, but @ShotgunX came in with the win. You both get something for this one!
@lichme @Thumperchick
(Screenshot the title/stars and post the link.)
If you see someone answered, but you’ve found one with more stars - post it! The person with the highest count screenshot wins this one. (I’ll be checking the date of the likes, so no shenanigans.)

@debraae @Thumperchick I was starting to think no one was going to challenge my $1 answer.
@Ignorant @Thumperchick I was surprised that no one else had.
@debraae @Ignorant You both win!
@debraae for the highest count, @Ignorant for making me laugh.
@Ignorant @Thumperchick WhooooHooo!!! Thank you TC!!

@Thumperchick If you’re looking for the post that actually made it a trend, then it was probably @Durago via this one:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/am-i-the-only-one-2
While @marklog did post an “Am I the only one” thread back in 2014, it didn’t catch on until August 2017
@lichme @marklog @Thumperchick I can confirm this. It is all my fault.
I am proud to have been a part of history.
@lichme got this one, I’m shocked.

My wife and I were married for about 10 years before finally becoming parents. Laugh if you will, but there is a lot of stress involved when trying to conceive for that long. Once it happened, I was thrilled to announce it to everybody.
Almost 3 years later, and now we have another one (6 weeks now) and couldn’t be happier.

@Thumperchick “Am I the only one?”
I am not really sure if any explanation is needed here, since that’s my only topic.
@Thumperchick I just realized I misread the question and it is actually about what thread the respondent thinks is best, and not the best thread they specifically made.
@Durago you can put in a new answer.
@Thumperchick My absolute favorite for so many reasons.
First is my daughter being my superhero! And still is
And It showed how amazing this community is, and how awesome meh and staffers are who sent this little girl a $50 gift card. (two part)
https://meh.com/forum/topics/someone-i-am-proud-of
https://meh.com/forum/topics/just-how-amazing-are-meh-staffers
@Thumperchick Sure, haha. I’m gonna go with the thread relating to “send me a Sharpie.”
@Thumperchick I tried finding it but couldn’t… About a year ago I posted a topic based on an Amazon review of a Contigo Mug complaining it had the word “meh” on it.
Someone must have bought a meh mug and then somehow returned it to Amazon and some poor unsuspecting fool later purchased that Meh branded item from Amazon.
Several people from Meh then posted on Amazon reviews stating that the meh branded ones were more valuable than the non branded ones.
Update:. It wasn’t Contigo it was Planetary Design… And it looks like Amazon has deleted all the comments about Meh except for the original review… It’s still there… Review number 5
I can’t find my post on the forum… But this is the one on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/16-oz-Stainless-Steel-Tumbler/dp/B00HUZ5CLU/?tag=meh0ec-20
@Thumperchick this is what the review on Amazon says:
I have liked other mugs by this company, but this one has “meh” printed on it. Really. I’m not speaking figuratively. It says “meh” on both sides. That’s not on the picture. It’s not in the description. It’s weird. And dumb.
And it includes a picture of mug with Meg’s logo
Since this one is voting based, I’m going to leave it open until Sunday night at some undetermined time. Feel free to keep posting your favorites and voting for the ones you think are the best!
@Thumperchick You totally unstarred my post!
@Thumperchick
It is probably too late to get any likes since there is only about an hour left…
but this one:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/we-need-a-list-of-things-the-meh-community-has-come-together-to-accomplish-for-the-greater-good
This thread because it shows how this community has come together to do many nice, selfless things to help others - both strangers and forum members. From team meh to funding teachers, saving cats, to individual efforts helping others, getting the disabled vet the dog’s graduation gown and unexpected gift certificate… all of these highlight (and I wish that thread had a complete list) that there are some really good people here.
@Kidsandliz @Thumperchick great thread @Kidsandliz
@Thumperchick And you did say this on the original thread… surely that is worth at least a bunch of stars (right? ) since I am unlikely to get many stars having made my original post at this late hour…

@lichme your kids are so damn cute, they took the win for this one.
@Thumperchick Yay!
@Thumperchick
This was my first Meh purchase and the first response to this post.
@Thumperchick https://meh.com/forum/topics/saeco-talea-giro-plus-espresso-machine-1#53c2071467e9690006784f45
@Thumperchick or this (if you are looking for a specific first first, I think)
https://meh.com/forum/topics/jbl-onbeat-mini-or-jbl-onbeat-micro-speaker-dock-with-lightning-connector#53e44b6044a91a0c07ec9e99
@Thumperchick Also sort of this:
@Thumperchick This first? https://meh.com/forum/topics/meet-thumperchick-our-first-volunteer-moderator
@debraae @Thumperchick i saw that and wondered if she meant that too
@Thumperchick my first purchase, not very proud of it.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/banana-boat-bluetooth-speaker
This one is still open. I’ll give you a hint:
I’m looking for the first time anyone said first in the meh.com/forum.
@Thumperchick So far, this:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/day-zero-t-shirt#53bbc74e7d642de008fe8d18
@lichme @Thumperchick some people said “first” in various sentences here
https://meh.com/forum/topics/irobot-roomba-560
@lichme @Thumperchick also the FAQ from June 2014 contains the word “first”
https://meh.com/forum/topics/faq
@Thumperchick then there is this weird thread: https://meh.com/forum/topics/first-6?sort=most-likes
@Thumperchick and does “F1rst!” count? https://meh.com/forum/topics/mediocre-tech-jobs
@Thumperchick First “First” only post I could find: https://meh.com/forum/topics/first-last-post#53dfd038f90e8f4c09e1d80d probably not the actual first only, but the earliest I was willing to dig on a friday night.
@Thumperchick https://meh.com/forum/topics/first-unofficial-broadcast. I can post a screenshot also if necessary. Just have to get in my tablet
@Thumperchick https://meh.com/forum/topics/first-6?sort=most-likes
No one found this one. It’s the first time anyone said first on a first comment. The honor goes to @JonT on the Zero Day and Day 1 Guestbook.
@JonT @Thumperchick can you tell us the secret how to navigate/find old posts? Cannot order by descending date, tried to scroll and load/load/load… incrementally - until the browser crashed - tried search engines… Maybe you have a tool/search shortcuts we do not have - I do not even know how to navigate to the post that has the answer
@datruandi @JonT Google and patience.
@JonT @Thumperchick I tried Google once more - unless you know the title of the post, no luck. site:meh.com with searching by relevant date range does not give a result either. Some pixie dust needed Teach me. And I had about 2 hours of patience scrolling down - until my browser crashed - on a PC with 64GB RAM.
@datruandi I had similar issues. I narrowed down my search results to 7/1/14 - 7/12/14 (I wasn’t exactly sure when the forum started) and I still can’t find the post that @Thumperchick linked. It was a fun “hunt” anyway lol
@datruandi @stardate820926
@datruandi @stardate820926 @Thumperchick I did so many searches google thought I was a robot!!!
@Thumperchick It’s odd. That result doesn’t come up at all searching by date but if I change it from “all results” to “verbatim” it’s like the 5th or 6th result. Still, I learned a lot about google search. Thanks!!
@stardate820926 @Thumperchick yes, but that implies you know part of the title of the post. How do you navigate to the post/find the post without knowing the title of the post - actual scavenger-hunting?
@datruandi @stardate820926
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@stardate820926 @Thumperchick so, there is a secret sauce, pixie dust - and some secret tools you can use, that we don’t maybe some different URLs that allow other sorting/filtering?
@datruandi @stardate820926 I’ve been around the forums from day one and remember weird shit.
@stardate820926 @Thumperchick hah - that’s not scavenger hunt then but ‘squirrel - where did I hide my nuts’
{Most likes on your reply wins this one.}
@Thumperchick . Because let’s be real, the meh attitude of “fuck it, MAKE THIS GO AWAY” was the best. And then it sold out cause everyone was hoping to be the pallet of the leftovers. Probably the most genius move. (And we still have candy corn left here! My boyfriend loves it, it makes a fabulous base for vegan fudge and butterfingers.)
@Thumperchick . This was the very first speaker dock write up that said a lot of what we really thought about them. We were literally sick of them and wanted them to go away.
@Jamileigh17 @Thumperchick I was going to say this one as well, they mention a really cool guy in the write-up.
@Thumperchick
This whole fiasco was wonderfully entertaining (probably not for Meh, though) and I loved this fate-tempting combo sale.
@Thumperchick I’m partial to “A badge of… let’s call it honor.”
Also:
I miss Adder’s posts … sometimes.
@stardate820926 I had so much trouble trying to get them to take mine back. What a mess!
Since this one is voting based, I’m going to leave it open until Sunday night at some undetermined time. Feel free to keep posting your favorites and voting for the ones you think are the best!
@AttyVette wins this one!
@Thumperchick thank you I appreciate your kindness and the fuko ! Others who posted their Meh write ups on this birthday game were great too! After all, the subject matters posted about were written by meh ‘er staff members and were all good imo so can you award the other participants a fuko too ? If you have anymore laying around
What was the first time that No Georgia Red was lamented and I like/love purple was posted?
(Post links to each.)
I’ll take a shot…

@Jamileigh17 found it! You get a fuko!
@jrwofuga - There’s no Georgia Red, but you get a fuko!
@Barney - You love Purple and we love you - you get a fuko!
@Barney @Jamileigh17 @Thumperchick it was BEM speakers. The travesty still burns my soul.
@jrwofuga Let’s hope that in thirty or forty years you can get over it.
@Thumperchick And Barney Purple loves you and this demented place too.
@Barney @jrwofuga @Thumperchick Thank you, you wonderful bunny person you! I had a shitty week and Meh has made it WAAAY better, along with my roommate not having a cancer that we feared he did, so WHOOOHOOOO!!

@Thumperchick the assumption is since you asked for “comments” you are asking for only the comment count and not the count in replies . . . . . if that is the case, the game above wins . . . . . if it is a total count, then it would be the other listing.
@tnhillbillygal & @trlenoir - How about both?

Thank you!
Hey all - some of these that look answered don’t have the correct link or info. So don’t give up just because there’s already an answer!
@Thumperchick Well, that’s worrisome. lol, well-played to those who have entered thus far and those who are coming after us with the right answers
I kinda wanna play, but I think I was awarded a prize for a comment I made, and if so, I don’t want to either jack someone else’s loot or dissuade others from playing by posting all the best answers all over the place. So I’m just sitting here killing time. Bored. Nothing to do… Guess I’ll go rotate the batteries in my refrigerator.
@shahnm You could ask the guys on the ISS to pop them in theirs.

@shahnm You can play in lieu of me…
@thumperchick … . . . when will the winners/losers be announced?
@trlenoir I’m thinking tomorrow… probably.
I’m not sure how, but I totally missed this thread! It looks like it was a lot of fun
Congrats to the winners!
Thanks @thumperchick for organizing this event (and all of your other hard work this week) for the fans!
@capguncowboy I missed it too
Yay! Thanks @thumperchick
Hey all - some of these are still open and will remain open until Sunday night. Find them. Reply and/or vote!
All winners have been tagged/announced.
Thank you all for playing and making this so much fun!
