Thread: How Do You Become A Celebrity On EoFF?

    Yes, but 50 cent is black. Even though that has nothing to do with it, its true. Plus he's a rapper. Rappers are famous for getting owned in some way and living. So if Psy is a rapper, then he's set.

    INSTEAD of saying "but 50 is BLACK, you should've said "but 50 Cent's a rapper"

    And yes, I read your other sentences. But saying "his black but has nothing to do with it" is still offensive.

    That cheered me up.

    This didn't. I appear to be one of these members you speak of. And yet I've been meet-ups (Hell, I ARRANGED one) and yet am not what one would call a "celebrity".

    Actually yeah, namedropping works very well. Dr Unne can back me up here (note the absence of a period in his name.)

    There are members far, far less known than you who have been around some time longer than you have.

    I'm aware of that, but I'm just raising the issue (concerning the Thread Title). If we can denounce the importance of being here for a long time and seeing EoFFers in the flesh, than what can we bank on?

    If a member joined tommrow following the other points, could he/she become a celebrity on EoFF within 3 months? But how could he/she make it lasting? Like what BoB said about crashNUMBERS....

    Was he a perfect example of a car crash celebrity like those of reality TV shows? Question is, how could they last the distance as one?
    (I'm using the example of Jade Goody here... What makes her different from the others?)

    You can make a good impact in a fast way, too. I'm not sure on how long it took for The Captain to make such an impression, and I know other members have been good members and just gained popularity by being incredibly social and posting in a lot of threads. But yeah, most people who are well known here either joined when the community was small and therefore it was easier to get known, or else they took their time to get really known. I think I took about a year or more before I got a vote in the EoFF Awards, despite being (I think...) one of the first 200 members in the UBB (it's either that or I'm completely wrong and the quote I found that out from was referring to the original vB).

    Why not? Questioning how processes (Such as becoming a "celebrity" on EoFF) creates a better understanding about us and others as humans in general. It would also raise why we think certain things, by certain things happen... This is the same method used by scientists in discovering how chemicals react with others. "How/Why does that happen like it do?"

    The only difference mine is more a hummanist/psychological pursuit.
    The real question, if you disagree with this question, why do you care enough to attack the propagator? That is something that REALLY must be studied...

    I just thought it'll be a enjoyable discussion. That was the main reason behind it.

    There must be many more relevant questions to gain a better understanding of us and humans in general than how people gain "celebrity" status on a final fantasy message board. Of the many things that could be discussed in a place such as this where however many people gather to share their opinions, this is probably one of the most inane things I can think of. Why does it matter if someone is a "celebrity" on a place like EoFF in the first place? I've not looked it up recently, but for me the word "celebrity" sound be defined as a person who's actions merit celebration. How many people who're classifed as celebrities in this day and age really deserve that? Not a lot, for me.
