I like to think that I would be number one on everybody’s list, except they can’t remember how to spell my username. 🙂 IRL, it’s not really my goal to be a popular poster (though I don’t see I hate the idea of people liking me.) For one thing, you need a lot of posts. And to get people to really know you, it’s helpful to post details on your private life, which is not something I really like to do in detail on a messsage board. * * * La franchise ne consiste pas à dire tout ce que l’on pense, mais à penser tout ce que l’on dit.

%#$%# Hit the send button too soon. I meant “I don’t **say** I hate the idea of people liking me.” Also that it’s not enough to have a lot of posts to be considered a favourite, it helps if they’re good posts, i.e. funny or informative. I did notice that people like **CKDextHavn** or **tomndebb** don’t get a lot of nominations, even though they usually have excellent and well-reasoned posts. * * * La franchise ne consiste pas à dire tout ce que l’on pense, mais à penser tout ce que l’on dit.

I’m probably not gushy or flirty enough to get a mention as a “popular” poster. I also don’t flame. Nor am I flaming. That and the fact that MPSIMS is not my favorite forum. Maybe I need to use more smileys. 🙂 🙂 🙂 ---

Don’t worry divemaster. I have the name recognition but not the popularity points. It’s ok. Go to the nobody loves me thread. 🙂 HUGS! Sqrl BTW, I suppose I am flaming. PPS. Thanks for voting for me tatertot * * * Gasoline: As an accompaniement to cereal it made a refreshing change. Glen Baxter ---

I never make anyone’s list either. I don’t post enough, and I use my real name. BORING!! Oh, yeah, and like divemaster, I’m not flirty or gushy or flamey (sp?). Clearly, all things I need to work on. ---

Oooh, Canthearya, I’m sorry I didn’t put you on my list! I thought about it, honest I did, but then I remembered that you went to Heidelberg High, aka Snob Central. Not that I’m still bitter about that one little incident between me and those 3 snotty girls on the bus back from the journalism contest. Nope, I’m not bitter at all. Divemaster and Eden: Yep, better work on all those things. Cause popularity is everything! So flirt, flame, make stuff up if you have to, just do whatever it takes to get popular. 🙂 ---

See why I called it the “dreaded” popularity thread? Somebody always gets hurt. There, there Canthearya, I know getting my vote probably would have made your day. What can I say besides I’m sorry? And that I’ll send you a whole carton of Kinder Eggs. Plus a whole plastic tub of Gummis. Forgive me? 🙂 ---

Funny, three of the posters discussed here are people that I said I most admired back when I was still fairly new to this message board. ---

I get the feeling we are the quiet worker bees that make the world run smoothly. I find that by the time I compose an addition to some thread, someone else has already made the same point. It seems kind of pointless to reiterate someone else’s views. ---
