I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.
I tweet?
I actually agree with a lot of points that Skibur has made, something that doesn't usually happen, honestly.
There are ways to go about gaining recognition on the forums, some are more successful than others. The Spartain Ken15 and Cryptic are great examples of the ways to be successful. Ken turned inferior posting into an art form, got to respect the guy for that. And Cryptic is just an all around nice guy, which helped him on his way to notoriety.
The point is, if you're set on getting accepted into any clique here (which is silly in itself, in my opinion), then you've gotta do it in your own way. Quoting old memes or members just feels like you're trying to buy your way in, not the most tactful thing you can do.
I also heard the term "unwanted" tossed into the mix here. Really? Are you sure that you're not confusing being unwanted with people being unaware of you? Everyone starts at the bottom, unknown, untested, untrusted. In time (hopefully not by the aforementioned things above) you gain recognition, you become tested against people's perceptions, you earn trust.
Or perhaps I simply have a different outlook on how things
work.
OT: As for the employees posting more? I don't think it's so much that as it is that there's less of us posting. Though there have been more employees posting, but I don't think the level of activity had changed.
