Why do popular members have it easy on here?

Post Reply New Topic

And for me, I'm known as being the kind spokesman here and a guy with a friendly image.
I barely change my avatar unless I get really bored of it.

And yes, your avatar is very catchy, there is technically no way of avoiding you.

I force my way into your life.

You see this smile? Witchcraft.

A lot of the most popular topics are the ones where people are encouraged to share something about themselves. You could try making threads about that. Examples: "Have you ever _____" "What's your favorite _____" "Don't you hate it when _____" etc, etc.

I am not that popular or well-known here. I just post what I feel like when I feel like it.

I consider myself very unpopular, but that just keeps me in my familiar element, I guess.

I choose which posts to read based on how much the subject of the post interests me, and I reply if I have something to say.

Who posts it is entirely irrelevant to me.

However I have a similar issue with few people responding to my posts on multiple message boards, which leads me to believe it is not that I am being intentionally snubbed but perhaps my mind works in such a way that I am removed from the communal topics of interest. I have come to conclude that it is just a facet of my AS manifesting in the internet realm...

Roentgenium is an unpopular element.

But is your elephant popular?

I still have my good times and bad times, here. Some days are easy and some are hard for me, on WP.

Once upon a time, there was a 60s Mod, who was hurt very badly, by some guy, in 2007. This person decided to live the lifestyle of a Punk Rocker. She turned against everything that she stood for, her entire life. Swinging London, Carnaby Street, Routemasters and The Kinks. She used two types of avatars. Sid Vicious and Sid from 'Flushed Away'. People kept on asking, "What happened to the old CockneyRebel"? or "What happened to the real CockneyRebel"? This member was told to woman up, every time that she posted in The Haven. This person went back to being herself, less than a year ago. This person no longer has the persona of a fake Punk Rocker. This person is being herself, for the first time, in 14 years. This person is me.

I wasn't always popular.

She also doesn't know about the edit button.

Wrong Planet, to me, is a place where I can relate and get advice or even give advice.

I don't frequent this site to get popular, nor do I give a squat about "popular". I know you've been a member for four years so you must be getting something out of it.

People you mentioned in your original post are amongst those who have helped me feel welcome and given me courage to relax and enjoy being on Wrong Planet...some of them might even try to shock me...

I'm thinking that maybe you're just having a bad day...of course now I'm going to go looking for and bump one of your threads...

I wouldn't worry about it. Some posters are coke, some posters are moxie...

Coke will NEVER be the official soft drink of Maine.

Moxie will never be enjoyed by... by... anyone.

That's life. Deal.


PS

It WOULD be nice to get better quality advice, especially concerning food safety!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to return to the restroom for another 45 minute bout of explosive diarrhea.

Oh dear...my advice came a little late then?

Popular people are everywhere. Ever among Aspies. See threads like Hail a Member! or Who would you like to meet? etc. It must be a part of human nature. I don't care about it and there's no envy in me.

If somebody is jealous: write many posts, doesn't matter about what, play in games section and you will join popular group.
