Really cool. I wish there was a way to search posts with "X" or more number of likes. I think Roosh mentioned once that the like system is basically built on top of the forum software, though, (as opposed to being integrated into it natively) which makes it very difficult to implement a feature like that.

There is a roundabout way, which is what LouieG used to compile posts with 50+ likes.

You can automate the search by writing a script to use Google, but it will blacklist your IP address unless you space out your requests for a while, which defeats the purpose. I tested Google's patience and got suspended for a few hours

The RVF also has protection against such hacker-ish efforts. Well done, Roosh.



But there is a way to search for all posts simultaneously without using Google. I was going to include this method in the 'archive,' but realized that although likes are a useful measure, they're often not as 'trustworthy' as rep points. Basically, a lot of funny posts float to the top of "Like" lists. It seems wisdom is generally more drawn to the rep pages than massive "Like" numbers.

Anyway, here's a nice way to do it.

1. Copy the following links. This is the 'complicated' part... generating these search terms. If you'd like a specific user, or just a generic list that searches "The following x users Like" site:rooshvforum.network, I can provide that as well.

Code:

2. Open URL Opener, which opens multiple tabs from a list of links you provide.

3. Paste the links into their box.

4. Sometimes the search engine will be overwhelmed by so many simultaneous searches. When you open the tab, refresh the page (ctrl-R, cmd-R for mac fags).

You can take this method further and scrape the links from the search results into a list, but for me it's not worth it... especially when adding a 'likes' column next to each post in a user's page and sorting according to likes, as we can do with views and replies, would be so simple. Oh well.
