It's not about how big it is, it's about how you use it.

Post count, that is. I've seen people get well-known in less than 1,500 posts. 'course, many of them managed it by constantly doing dumb or offensive stuff*, but...

(*Which I wouldn't recommend, as it's damn hard to live down later on, in addition to the obvious problems.)

Heh. Also, I imagine that its easier to get well known in 1500 posts if the posts are done over the course of a long time in highly visible threads than if they are done near each other in the rules forum, house rules, off topic, and general randomly sprinkled whenever you have opinions.

Yeah, post count isn't the best gauge for how well-known someone is. I suspect many more people have heard of Sepulchrave (II), with his story hour, than me, for example.

I've heard of you and not Sepluchrave Then again, it could just be because you're the one reviewing my LEW character and I haven't had the time to read Story Hours so far.

Yeah. When Krishnath started posting in Nothingland, I didn't know much about him - just that he existed, basically. He had a few thousand posts in EN World, but almost all were in the Creature Catalog forum.

Yeah, that's possible. Of course, I know the name Sepulchrave and associate it with his SH (and little else) but I don't often read SHs, so I know you better than him.

Heh, I wonder how well-known I am? Probably not very except to the people who disagree with me on Rules and House Rules, to which I'm probably "That moron with the eye symbol."

I'd say the best way to gauge that would be how many people have you on their buddy or ignore list.

*he says, knowing what this will result in, but hoping it does not*

OK, I'll admit it, I'm an ENWorld newb. How does one do that?

 

[Knight Otu]

What? Checking that number? That can't be done as far as I know.

Adding someone to that list? When you click on the posters' name on the post, you should get a menu that includes "Add XYZ to you Buddy/ignore list." You can also get that while in your User CP.

Oh, I know how to add someone. I just didn't see an option to check on who has done it for me. You trickster, you! If it can't be done, why'd you tell me to do it

Do those spammers even try? Opening my email account, I see some "microsoft" lotto thing... from a german e-mail address.

Well, I can't decide if that's worse than those Re:[345] things I've been getting.

I'm just glad that I don't get more than 1 or two spams per day.
