Be an oldbie and get shot and live. Simple philosophy, see if we shot Psy, he'd be alot more famous then he is now.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
No one haseverdone this to me in the past week
Basically the popular people? Easy.
If you're new, it's the first names you learn. The cool people.
Is it really worth it?
You have to skip reading the actual threads and just tack spam on to the end of it, like I do.
*charges shotgun*
Let me prove that
*shoots psy*
if the person survives that is.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Regarding Shaun's post - Yes, there are celebrities at EoFF. A celebrity is someone that is famous. An EoFF celebrity is someone who is famous around the EoFF community. If you don't think they exist, you're terribly ignorant.
Regarding the topic at hand...
Do things. Run competitions, get involved in said competitions, help people in the help forum. Post things about YOU. Show your personality, make jokes, have fun, let people know what you like and dislike. Use smilies, but not too many. Have a noticable name - people are a lot more likely to be noticed with an awesome name like "Fwab" than a fit-in name like "Cloud_[Sephiroth's Last Name] xXx" - make it a name that people will remember and find easy to either say or find a nickname for... and then, importantly, <i>don't change it every six months</i>. People will very rarely get known if they keep changing names, because people will know you by your name more than anything around here.
Be social. PM people, chat to people in the chatroom or on instant messengers. Find some kind of group and ask to be involved if it's your kind of thing. Offer insights to people's problems or threads. I don't mean say "My favourite number is 23", I mean letting people know if there's any reason that you have a favourite number, is it a sports star or something? Life experience leading to it? Anything? Show yourself, don't be just another member on EoFF, be a person in a community. Go to a meetup. Call someone you've gotten to know. Don't stop there, though. Keep getting to know people. One of the main reasons this community thrives is because new people come in all the time, and that means there's always someone new to get to know in some way or another.
Don't count on being good enough to be a CK because there are a lot of those kind of people and we don't CK people very often. Don't try to be a badass or a class clown - there are two kinds of famous in this world and you don't want to be known for the wrong reasons, or you might end up being banned. Then you'll be famous, sure, but I can tell you that in time, nobody will care. You don't see The PC Fascist, Aika, The Model Citizen or Braska Spira being discussed by those who discuss PiP and Crash today. In a couple of years' time, you can either be banned and out of the picture or not banned and in the picture.
Being around for a long time means nothing. I know more members than most people here, and I can tell you a <i>lot</i> of members have been around here for over three years and still to this day haven't made a real name for themselves. They haven't made it personal for them. How can we know someone if they haven't made themselevs known?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Pay the staff 5$... ya, thats it...
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
oww monkeys... I forgot that little thing... maybe he's only in a coma?
Uhh, be an idiot seems to be the route from what I can see...or maybe thats the result of becoming famous.
Bets thing i can think of is join up, hang around a few months then do summat dumb and be banned in a blaze of fame.
The last words of Oscar Wilde, to the wallpaper in his room - "One of us has to go"
I'm not an oldbie, but thank you for trying to make me famous, Bladen. I think one day I might even become more famous on EoFF than you are, if I play my cards right.
O.o... he is... ALIVE!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
*runs towards a wall*
Psy, I'm not even near famous here, almost everyone has some kind of thing against me for some reason. Hey if it made 50 Cent famous it will do it to you too.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Win a Ciddie and you'll be remembered forever.
