    Wow, this thread gets a lot of posts real quick, don't it? GC is nothing compared to the gaming forums. Reality check, please. If you don't like something, just stay out of it. Use the ignore function (lol), bitch in Feedback, it's what it is there for. The only reason to dislike someone is if they suck at what they are trying to do, which is wholly possible.

    I have to agree with Paul and Miriel. And a lot of people on here who are "stupid popular people" are actually very intelligent and accomplished. They just know how to have a good laugh, which I think you need to learn.

    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?

    It makes me laugh then cry when you pretend to be intelligent and then totally miss your own point.

    Alright, if you don't care about your own then fair enough. Tell you what, though. Why don't you send these people who deserve popularity a PM telling them you appreciate their posts, and that you think they make EoFF a better place? I've won Ciddies, but let me tell you that a PM like that is worth more than a Ciddie. At least, it would be to me.

    It's a Final Fantasy forum. If I wanted intelligence and thought provoking, I'd go and have a chat to one of my lecturers at university.

    like an hour ago.

    Who's going to be more fun to have around: the guy who can quote Wikipedia for you, or the guy who makes you laugh? There are plenty of people here who can do both, and I guarantee you very little has changed since you've been a member. Maybe the general group of spammers isn't as funny as the ones who were here two or four years ago, but who knows? The longer you're around the longer you see the same stuff, so it's hard not to be a little jaded.

    If we're going to define "spam" as anything that is not strictly related to a topic, do you have any idea how boring this place would be? Posts do get deleted, and entirely pointless things are removed, and sometimes people do get punished. But it's a place for people to have fun and converse, and if you have a problem with people not being serious enough, put them on your ignore list.

    Moping about the popularity of others is about as high school cliché as you can get.

    Seriously, bud. I'm sure plenty of people have probably felt that way at one time or another. But you're really just coming off as some guy miffed that he's not as popular as others whether or not that's the case.

    You just have to learn to accept it, and do your own thing. You're not exposing some hidden conspiracy because there isn't one. People are "popular" for a reason, and whether or not you agree with it really doesn't matter.

    Being some sacrifice for the "greater good" isn't going to help your cause.

    Edit: Jeez, so fast.

    "Pretend" to be be intelligent? Hello I've never said or insinuated I'm anything other than an average user! And how am I missing my own point?

    I'm still in High School, surrounded with teachers who cannot teach, sadly. I can't wait until college.

    Simple. You keep contradicting yourself; not to mention you are clearly yearning to be popular, when such a label is *sometimes* connected to negativity when it comes to intelligence.

    Well not long after that post I had a thought...and the thought was "What is popularity? And how the hell do become popular?"

    I relised then that I DONT want to be popular if this is how popularity is achieved.
