Jack: You can't offer an idea, receive criticism, and then blame the criticism for it not being important. You brought it up in the first place. It's not important - this is just an exercise of beliefs. You asked the question, some people said "it doesn't matter." So either argue or don't - but don't try and blame other people for it. It takes two to argue, so you arguing back proves you care just as much as anyone else.

Now, on-topic: I never understood why people want fame in the first place. I don't desire fame at all and wouldn't do a single thing differently to achieve it. I disagree with everything BoB said. No, you shouldn't PM people - if you don't naturally do that in the first place. No, you shouldn't post often - if you don't do that already. You shouldn't do anything simply to become more well known. You should do everything exactly as you want to and if a lot of people come to know you, great, and if not, that's just as good. If you're even remotely active around the forums, you'll find people with similar views who you can talk to.

I'm well known by the people I give a damn about around here, and that's all I care about.
