    Post lots, be clever in what you post and be witty.

    Or just stay for ages and wait till everyone recognises you.

    Though having said that, I've been here for years and I wouldnt class myself as particulary well known, but I guess I'm just part of the furniture by now. =D

    Since the first time I saw a post of yours, I've had that phrase, "Gyrating Like A Possum!" stuck in my head.

    You are furniture, don't get me wrong. It isn't like I remember what you post, and I'll sure as Hell forget that your screen name is, uh, whatever it is, by the time I finish this post.

    But on the bright side, your sig is like a branding iron on my brain.

    Way back when I didn't start an intro thread because I didn't go to general chat. I ignored that forum for like 2 1/2 years. Then I just went to it one day and was like "WOW, this is great!" I think my first thread in it was the poll "What do you think about while you brush your teeth" It was really succsessful so I kept up from there.

    #eoff, because the forums are a joke.

    There isn't a "get into the admins' pants" option.

    I got good in here by posting and never leaving, but it took a while to be noticed.

    I would assume posting to get people to know you, and PMing to get people to be your friend. I've done the former a lot (and that's how I got in), but didn't really close the deal on the latter half very well. *shruggles* Damn real friends always keep me away from here.

    Posting lots and posting insightfully certainly worked for me. Too bad I haven't done that here in ages, though, which is probably why I'm mostly a has-been around here

    edit: catchphrases, being distinctive, and making good threads help as well. also, yes.

    Hmm. Well, I haven't really done much of any of that, so I don't know. I can say that posting very frequently (read: spamming) does get you noticed, but not necessarily in a good way. I've only started one or two threads. I post in whatever threads interest me, not just to get attention. And as for meeting people and becoming well known....well, I haven't randomly PM'd or instant messaged anyone, and I don't really have any 'friends' here yet. But it wasn't about trying to be 'popular' for me when I came here, it was just an online community that I was actually comfortable in and that wasn't out of control with flames and spam. I like it here.

    I vote yes.

    Yeah you could do that, or you could be really beautiful like Chaos, and get recognized immediately. Oh, how shallow we hear at EoFF are!

    I think the FASTEST way is to go into every forum and post as many FF sucks threads as you can.

    However...

    ...is probably one of the BEST ways to get in the community.

    I also think that you should get into an admins pant only if you fit. I have a 34" waist, by the way...
