Hey team.

Have we ever thought about the option for a user to be able to save another user as a “Favorite”.

If we choose a favorite it will lead to fighting and resentment :joy:

The catch: you only get ONE favorite. Choose wisely.

Not one of us can choose just one, admit it. Lol.

I thought it be cool to have a query where you could see all the latest activity for selected users. “Favorites”

I give a lot of yo-yos away.. I bring extras to events and places we go regularly. When I spy a likely candidate, first I ask them if they know yo-yo. The word. The item. 🪀 I gotta find out if **they are a yo-yo person**.

- If they don’t, I proceed to demo and see how into it they are. Depends on the person. Some adults are like “this is kid stuff”, it’s as if they _forgot how to enjoy life_. Well whatever, man!

- If they do… this is where it get magical. I get the gift yo-yo out, and I watch their face closely as I reveal it. Those who _truly_ remember yo-yo, **the joy of play is written all over their face**.. it’s unmistakable, that moment, and I savor what’s about to happen ✨

One guy recently was like, _I get to keep this? Are you sure? I don’t deserve this_. And he was good! _Really_ good! Like in the top 5% of people I give yo-yos to! He was doing a lot of the basic responsive moves, as if he had never stopped playing. Still, even as I was leaving, he tried to return it to me, even though I told him multiple times I brought it to give away and I wanted him to have it. Finally I said:

> No man, you _do deserve this_. Look how good you are with it! I am _giving it to you_. I don’t _want_ it back. What I want is for you to have fun with this yo-yo and your reflected joy is worth so much more than this yo-yo to me. Mandatory fun!

He had a kid, and I told him I’d come back with another for his son. I’ve been so busy, but I need to do that. I promised him. This is a good reminder.

Now, what I didn’t tell him is that every day I find myself looking for _a reason to be alive_. And that interaction – what we said to each other, how we made each other _feel_, the way we will _always_ remember that moment – is a _reason to be alive_. And now I’m sharing it with all of you, because [happiness is only real when shared](https://blog.codinghorror.com/on-the-meaning-of-coding-horror/).

TL;DR this is my long winded way of saying **_ALL_ yo-yo people are my favorites**. At least on this forum, the “favorite user” feature would be redundant. 💛

I can’t just choose one person cuz I’ll be honest with you since I’ve come to these forums I have met some good people and some people have helped me quite a bit so I could not just choose one person to be a favorite

Not to mention that there are so many people on here who are naturally shy or bashful and may actually feel rather uncomfortable with being chosen as someone’s favorite. I feel much better saying that you are all among my favorite people on Earth.

Edit: now if we are comparing the planet Ziblorgin then it’s a whole different story.
