Swannzie, Popularity & Whores
I was doing some calculations yesterday and came up with this simple equation.
Forum posts = Popularity
Obviously there are other factors you can put in there, such as if you're a Moderator, or a member of the female species, but generally that theory applies.
Apart from Swannzie it would appear, only 4000 posts or so, but his popularity is booming, he's like Jesus, or something, everyone wants a piece of him, such is the quality and grace of the man they call 'Sawann'. I feel like a disciple of his, seeing as I know him personally, I actually go to sleep at night with a smile on my face, and that's not because of anything happening under the sheets, oh no, it's just the Swann effect.
The same can't be said for my own profile, I'm about as popular as a ginger stepson, so I'm going to have to work on that, because as we've seen on those American teen shows, popularity is everything, and if you're not in with the 'in crowd' then you should be looking at ways to get into it.
My other point is the people who have been here less than a year, yet are already like level 28 or something, so you look at their stats and realise that they're post/blog whores, and have somehow managed to rack up a staggering amount of posts. Now, don't get me wrong, that's what the forum is there for, and I'm all for contributions, but haven't they heard of Quality over Quantity, much like I have done myself? Only a small amount of posts, but each one has affected and helped thousands of people. So I think everyone can take a bit of inspiration from myself, and pass it on to others, afterall, I'm just doing the good work of Swannzie.
I think everyone can learn from the words I speak.
