OK, look at this. I’ve been here since April '99 and have a somewhat respectable 600+ post count. Do I get on crush lists? No. Do I dopers want to meet me? No. Do I get any name recognition at all? No. Just because I hang out mostly in GQ doesn’t mean I don’t like you guys…
So, for my upcoming 666th post, if I’m not going to be evil, I can at least be selfish and throw a little pity party. Anybody care to bring a little cheese to go with my whine?
Can anybody else compete for the title of “Most Posts with the Least Name Recognition?”
For what it’s worth, I think that posts in GQ should be scored on a weighted scale. By my calculations (using the standard weighting constant of 3), your 666 GQ posts are equal to 2,000 MPSIMS posts. Happy 2,000!
I’m willing to compete with you in the “Most Posts/Least Recognition” category, but my post count is a little on the low side. I 've been posting rather scattershot, and I only have a handful of GQ posts to my credit (and one of them was answering a question about BJ and the Bear for crying out loud).
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I think I’ll go eat worms. Long thin skinny ones, short fat juicy ones, see how they wriggle and squirm. Bite their heads off, slurp their juices throw their skins away. Nobody knows how much I grows on worms three times a day.
Oh, I hear you, mrblue. These idiots don’t have a clue who I am.
Well, they don’t know the REAL me. I actually wanna be a GQ Buff
FWIW, I had noticed you, and read your posts with pleasure. You’re always well-informed and you write pleasantly. But the way these boards work, it seems, you need to be in the less serious fora such as MPSIMS and IMHO in order to be “reckognised”. But don’t worry, the really important part is still fighting ignorance. Which you do more than I!
Sorry, but I don’t recognze you. We must hang out in different topics. But I sympathiz with you on this. NOBODY includes me in their lists.
(Sniff. Snort. Honk.)
Don’t mind me.
Why is it? I’ve got a respectable count. I try to be accurate and witty. I’ve even got a little notoreity, I think. So why doesn’t anyone want me on their team?
I recently just passed that evil mark myself, although I have been registered a shorter time (and probably have fewer important things to say, but I haven’t let that stop me).
And, sorry to confess, I don’t remember meeting you before. But I’m pleased to meet you now.
Yeah, nobody remembers me either. And when they do, they usually spell my username wrong. It’s depressing, I tell you.
But…at least nobody blamesme for anything. Nobody accuses me of being an Evil Old Reg, or being part of the Posse, or the Clique, or anything like that. Being a nobody has its advantages.
I didn’t bring any cheese for your whine. Instead I brought a case of beer for us to drown our sorrows in. I have a fairly high post count and have been around for awhile and I don’t think I’ve made a crush list yet.
[sarcasm on] I did make it to a sig line but I had to wear a thong to accomplish that! I’d probably have to post a nude pic on the SDMB People Pages to get any recognition but that would do more harm than good. [/sarcasm off]
I recognise and venerate all of the above, and am sure that your posts have received far more acclaim than those by my wretched self, I was born to be ignored. So looking forward to somebody spelling my id incorrectly, blaming me for any tiny thing or accusing me of partaking in sockpuppetry.
I do hope bottle of smokes weighted scale is favourable to posts in that very respected section ‘testing’
From what I gather, the way to stop being ignored around here is to choose a frequent poster with similar interests and flirt shamelessly with them for a week or so. As long as you manage to remain witty for the whole week, you’re more or less part of the club. <shrug> Eh, whatever. Flirting’s not my bag, baby.
