There are so few players that everyone that is moderately active on forums can be pretty well known... Unfortunately.
I'm not popular..so we all know it's not me...I would think the Mods are more popular then anyone on PIMD 0.o
Well the VIP are the most popular ppl here But I guarantee I am the most sexiest person on this app
To me, popularity depends on how MUCH people like you or hate you (that would be notoriety, which is popular in a 'bad' way). And not how MANY people like or hate you. So take for example I have this friend who is not in any VIP list nor is he or she a mod, but one who is dear to me and the people whom he or she is close to. I consider that person to be popular, even if it's only in our eyes.
