As I said before ,I don't really bother about being an "in person" on the Forums which is what I think the thread author was referring to.You would get too "emotionally" hung up if you did.
"How to make friends and influence people" springs to mind!
My real friends are in my life which is far more important .
Actually I was talking about real life, didn't know they were referring to being popular "in here", but I guess anyone who's popular in real life is popular anywhere, is just the way they are, they don't have to really want to be liked, they are liked because of who they are.
And yes, from experience if you spend too much time here, you get way too emotional, not cool at all, life is OUT there, not IN here...
ColonelBogey: I could imagine that being the most popular would be tiring? Too many to keep pleasing without compromising yourself. People usually become most popular by networking a lot and being available. Maybe online that can be confused as being a "clan" because that networking becomes evident in the forums?
Yes you are right about having to be available and here most of the time, on the other hand pleasing others should not be a problem for popular people, is just who they are...
But hey, as long as you're popular in your "own world" who cares about here or anywhere else??
I never wanted to be popular here on cs.;But to my mis fortune it has happened,and I dont like it Im just someone for every one to laugh at But at least I have made others feel good about there self.

BeautifulEri: People have been banned for speaking spanish on threads, believe me I know, it's just policy, you have to write in english, otherwise people will start talking in no matter what language and no one would understand eachother...
But I want only Spanish to be writen here, besides English of course, sorry for the other languages.
We could have an Spanglish forum.
(It is ok with me if only English is required here, as it would matter)

Jajaja, Ya sé, pero de verdad, además después los que no hablan español agarraban traductores y ya sabes que los traductores no traducen bien y juraban que hablábamos mal de ellos, no sabes que rollos, pero bueno, voto por eso...

Sterling_Wollops: I will never be popular and i'm very much ok with that
As I am one of the older people on these threads and as I have gotten older being popular isn't so important today as when I was younger. I have my small group of friends today, when I was younger I knew hundreds of people but in reality they are acquaintances. ( hence the word popular ) People come and go thoughout your life & every now & then you meet someone new that has an impact on your life in a very positive way you welcome them and cherish their friendship. That can apply right here on this site. good luck everyone on your search.
