Popularity I laugh in your face!

[Jessweeee♪]

This is who we are, this is what we do. Are we not good enough for you? Are we too stupid, too silly? You think we're going to change just for you? If you don't like us, just leave. Add us to ignore. Whatever. You don't have to deal with us.

Who are you addressing that to?

Fatal Impurity.


I was supposed to go and do homework

[snacks]

Here's an idea:

Instead of complaining, do something about it.

I QUOTE MY OWN POST FOR TRUTH

[Black Mage]

You may not like me but I couldnt give a smurf what you think.

At least RESPECT what I'm trying to say instead of showing utter contempt for it, and that go's for everyone here NOT just Poetically Pathetic.

Joke post?

[Fonzie]

Hey, dude, we would of shown you more respect if you'd dropped the petty insults in the first place, but here we are now.

You did start this with insults, did you not think others would do the same?

[Momiji]

You really dont get it do you? I DONT care about my popularity! If I did I wouldnt of made this thread! I knew I wasn't going to win any friends by my views so go and pull another one!

As for the Ciddie's? Well I used to want one but after my realisation I thought "smurf that"...You may not like me but I couldnt give a smurf what you think.

At least RESPECT what I'm trying to say instead of showing utter contempt for it, and that go's for everyone here NOT just Poetically Pathetic.

Moderation time: Guys can we nix it on the quote pyramids please? We all know what you're responding to and it's cluttering up the thread. Thanks!

You aren't winning any respect points for ignoring CK rules.


Anyway, if you didn't WANT popularity, you shouldn't have posted spam whilst saying spam= popularity. Your reasoning and excuses are contradictions.

QFT AGAIN

[Fatal Impurity]

@The Fonz: Okay smart guy where are the insults in my posts? I just said in honest terms what I think and now everyone seems to think I'm a moron. Which is fine because really, at least we are talking about/contributing something, instead of pointless non contributional posts flooding the topic.

@Poetically Pathetic: Try reading my original post again you may see that I clearly stated that spam SHOULDNT be eradicated. I just said people should be more reasonable.

[Jessweeee♪]

Isn't that what EoEO is for

What makes popular these days?

Intelligence?

NOPE

Contribution to threads?

NOPE

Knowledge?

YET AGAIN NO!



Its you guessed it! SPAM!

What the hell is the big deal with all these users that rarely contribute anything more to a topic other than some supposedly witty remark which actually has nothing to do with anything?

I mean out of the the most popular members on this forum about 50% of them appear to spam more than contribute whilst the other 50% possibly contribute all of one or two posts...and are they thought provoking and insightful? Often not unforutunately.

I'm not claiming to be a saint, incredibly witty, respectful or even a great contributor...but shouldn't the users we deem popular/famous be?

Whats worse is that the REAL intelligence and contribution of this site comes from greatly undervalued members such as Yeargdribble (who is no doubt respected and not UNPOPULAR but he definately isn't famous either) who 95% of the time contributes something to the topic, instead of vearing a topic off course.

Another point is also that the admins don't seem to be doing thier job correctly as 90% of the time spam go's either unnoticed or unpunished.
Whats worse is that members of staff THEMSELVES popular as they are spam more/equally to what they contribute.

Now I'm not saying spam is intolerable and should be eradicated...but couldn't we just keep it reasonable folks? But it's abit much when most of the popular members of this forum are spammers and use themes such as Christmas' "Lets pretend that I don't know what grammer is just so I can be popular like Phychotic!".
Is this what EOFF has become? Is this just a popularity ratrace in which the popular spam like crazy and the reasonable members get left behind?

P.S. Before anyone even insinuates it, I'm not jealous because of not winning a Ciddie or anything like that because if thats what a Ciddie means/rewards then I want no part of it anyway.

Other people may call me grumpy or call me hateful towards others with more popularity of my own, but the thing is if popularity is gained by this behavior do I WANT to be popular?

I'm not popular no doubt, I'll probabaly never will be...but I wish the good members of this forum would get the popularity they deserve.

This forum reminds me of Highschool and thats not a good thing.

You've... you've caught me. I try to be popular. You see, in my real life, I live in a 1 bedroom tenement apartment with my 10 brothers and sisters. My parents sell drugs to get buy. I can only use the internet 10 minutes a day, and that's with my brothers and sisters running life size hamster wheels to power my computer. I only want to be accept on EoFF so that I have meaning to my life...

Goodbye. :kaocry2:

So someone tries to be serious about something and you spam it up with severe sarcasm?

This is what I'm on about!

This post contributes NOTHING, all it does is try to make a mockery of what I'm trying to discuss.

Lack of respect? - yes.

Proving my point? - yes

Seeing a pattern here?

Let me tell you a story, Mr. Impunity. When I was a newbie, I had a chip on my shoulder about popularity and elitism, and I'm sure some of you can remember it. Certain people were popular and received plaudits, and I didn't. What the heck was going on? Wasn't I good enough? I'm better than these people, surely? Winning Mr. EoFF ( bring it back), an anonymous contest only served to fuel my strange thoughts. But here's the thing. I wasn't,better than them, because I was a stupid little jackoff who cared about such stupid things as forum popularity. Fact is, the people I disliked had made so many more contributions to EoFF than I had.

So I stopped, sat back and realised popularity meant nothing. EoFF was just a fun place to have a laugh on, and I could enjoy it without winning a bajillion Ciddies and so on and so forth. And now I feel I've contributed and proved my worth (if you want to say I haven't, okay, but the people who matter know how hard I work for this place) and here I am, Evil Cid's Knight and Naughty Popularity Whore. I was wrong. Just let it go, man. It's not good for you, take it from me.

Now, as for your comments that everyone spams and it's evil...well maybe you should stop and think about that. If a large majority of people think these posts are good and contributing, maybe it's you who is wrong, and not them. Or maybe...nobody is wrong. Maybe they're just having fun. If you find posts like yeargdribble's to be of more worth than mine, hang out in EoEO more and you'll find it a lot more enjoyable.

Can I get back to my worthless spam now please?

You seem to think I care about my own popularity and well I don't I just dislike people, who DO deserve popularity being short changed esecially to such newbie spammers like the infamous Devilman and The Fonz!
Sure all this about intelligent posting being better than spam is subjective and about opinion but why would you prefer something completely inane and stupid to something intelligence and thought provoking?

am i doin it rite?

[XxSephirothxX]

At least RESPECT what I'm trying to say instead of showing utter contempt for it, and that go's for everyone here NOT just Poetically Pathetic.

What exactly are you asking us to respect? That you don't think many people here are funny, they're not serious enough, and they don't deserve to have friends or admiration for their lack of funny? I don't think anybody is showing you utter contempt, but obviously most everyone disagrees with your analysis of the forum.

Really, it's pretty superficial anyway--there are a lot of people here, and there's no concrete list of who is popular and who isn't. Different people will be respected in EoEO for being insightful, in the Gaming fora for being hardcore, and in Gen. Chat for being entertaining. If off-topic posts pervaded each one of those areas and derailed the majority of conversations, there'd be a problem. But it's not like that at all.

Ouch....

[Ultima Shadow]

This is who we are, this is what we do. Are we not good enough for you? Are we too stupid, too silly? You think we're going to change just for you? If you don't like us, just leave. Add us to ignore. Whatever. You don't have to deal with us.

rap version:

This is who we are and this is what we do,
Are we not good enough for you?

Are we too stupid, are we too silly?
You think we're gonna change just for your willy?

If you don't like us, you should just leave,
Add us to ignore, what's the big deal?

You don't have to deal with us, yo!
You don't have to deal with us, yo!

[snacks]

To get respect you have to earn it.
You can't just show up and say "HUR GUYS LIKE ME"
you have to do something for it, if you can't understand that well...








don't post.

[Momiji]

@Poetically Pathetic: Try reading my original post again you may see that I clearly stated that spam SHOULDNT be eradicated. I just said people should be more reasonable.

That's all fine and dandy, but the fact is, you still contradicted yourself, and you aren't gaining any respect by carrying on as such.

OOC:	Spam is fine when it's done right in forums, much like the meat-kind of spam (which I don't care for, honestly, but it isn't terrible when cooked right). Otherwise it tastes horrible, or looks horrible and stupid when posted wrong (when it comes to forums).
