Forum Popularity

  1. Ok, so they'res been discussions and fights about being popular, and popularity rankings.


    Making a list of your top 10 favorite forumers in MY opinion, is dumb. Of course you'll be biased, and will anger all your "friends" who weren't included.


    ALSO, there are different types of popularity in the forum, which I will try to explain to you.

    1. Popular by Power.

    This is the popularity level of pimd_admin, Spinny, j31, my-dorm-name, etc. These people are called popular in the forums. Why? They aren't as active as a lot of regular users. They are popular because of their position, and power. (Even though personally, I am very fond of several of those people)



    2. Popular by Association

    This is very common. Once somebody puts SBO, or UI, or even TBP in their name, they go up 10 ranks of popularity for some reason. I respect the clubs, but having it in your name doesn't make you popular.

    Another form of this is relationships. Usually, when a famous forumer gets married to a non-forumer, the non-forumer may start posting, and get fame. The perfect example here is Nina and I. I am the one who got popular off her 



    Popular by Name

    This sort of goes along with the club in your name concept, but they're more too it. I'm going to use a few examples, do NOT be offended.

    TheSlenderMan - Was an average forumer, then changed his name to a more well-known spook character, and "famous" over night.

    Kandy's Imposter - I don't know her name, but you all know who it is. Desii, was a hated spammer. People were ignoring her, then she copied Kandy, and got instantly known, but in a bad way.



    Popular by Activety

    This, is the real popular to me. You have to start out as a noob, and slowly climb your way up by commenting, creating threads, and getting well known. You could possibly write a story, or do news, or do something stupid like make a new game everyday


    And that's what I have to say about that -Forrest Gump


    I know I'm not very popular at all, just wanted to express my opinions.
