Re: Not wanting to offend this community...

Don't think intelligence is the best term here - we're talking about common sense here, which is relatively independent from actual IQ. It helps to be intelligent, but having the common sense for the social psychology of people and general mannerisms will get you further.

Anyhow, in addition to some of the factors mentioned already, such as attitude, trust, and degree of sensitivity, it's helpful to get a general feeling of the atmosphere on this site.
If you're new to a site, lurking around the forums helps you get the "insider's info" that allows you to become more aware of the events revolving around the site. From this point on, being more-informed may not only answer some common questions that you might've had, but it also provides context in many topics of conversation. This gives you the advantage in that you can participate in more conversations. It's also easier for other people to relate and converse with you.

Wow.

You walk away from a thread like this and you can't possibly keep up. But here's what I have to say.

First off, Stewie7Griffin started this thread with a purpose, of sorts, and I shall do my best to relate some main points that I picked up from reading this thread, to that purpose.

He was saying how, in general, the people of FFR don't tend to acknowledge those of us who are not popular or well known. Well I think we have a few new people who are more well known, thanks to this thread.

I will recognize Stewie7Griffin when I see him in a thread, as I will recall this thread, chances are.

dragonmegaXX, I will definitely remember you because you've made some great points. I consider you a solid contributer and a great arguer/debater.

xBBx Takedown. You. Well I will remember you, that is for sure. Although, frankly, so far, I haven't taken a liking to you (sorry, just being honest). You have some points, but they are all the same, or relate around the same main idea. dragonmegaXX has said more than enough which should give you an idea of what kinds of attitudes and posting habits get you along in a forum such as this one. I do, however, have hope that you will take something from this thread, once you've calmed ya nips and thought about what you were told here (although I have a hunch this is not over).

Also, as we see here, you can get recognized for a lot of things. Good, bad or simply because it got you remembered, for whatever reason. Not to stray from the current battle, but I was somewhat known, something like, 5 years ago. Sadly, it was because I was a stupid 14 year old who thought he could write a book. To anyone who knows what I am talking about, it was quite the thread. It got into the Legendary Threads.....el oh el. But it got some people to know who I was, even though it was because I was a dumb**** (I actually got nominated for Dumbass of the year because of that haha). But that was a while ago and now I bet rarely anyone knows who I am. But, if I am remembered by some, then sweet :P

But now, since I am not really active, I would have to get noticed again. But, to me, it isn't that important. If I get noticed, cool. If not, it's the internet. It wouldn't really bother me. As Aperson said, there is too much caring in this thread. Relax, y'all.

Re: Not wanting to offend this community...

Ummm I use to be somewhat ghetto. I'm offended by that statement. That is a complete sterotype. Not all ghetto people are even like that trust me. I get grades in the 90's and 100's but I guess that's not considered intelligent right?

I can name at least 5 things grammatically wrong with this post.

I'm the kind of guy that doesn't get offended by damn near anything. You can call me fat, ugly, retarded, I frankly don't give 2 sh*ts about what anyone else thinks of me as long as I know the truth. People who get easily offended just tend to piss me off severely. To me, getting offended and then having the audacity to go out and tell everyone tells me you're a crybaby who got his feelings hurt and wants to get help from anyone out there willing to listen.

You don't need to be intelligent, you don't even need to think all that hard, but for Christ's sake, just use correct grammar and don't bitch and moan just because someone said something displeasing to you.

How to get noticed in the forums: Do anything that I just said not to.

I will double this post.

This is my point exactly. Why argue? What are you proving by arguing? You won't change the other person's mind.

And what is the TGB?

Re: Not wanting to offend this community...

Arguing is fun

TGB is The Garbage Bin. Keep out.

Re: Not wanting to offend this community...

Almost by definition, not being popular means not getting noticed =/. What is the complaint? lol

I have almost 8 times your post count, and I'm still surprised when people I don't talk to recognize me. To get noticed you have to get involved. Post more, etc. All of the "popular" people have post counts well into the thousands.
