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.

Haha funny post, I wouldn't say i'm Mr Gamespot or anything though. I think the 'popularity' all relies on the content of the blog post and the content of the forum posts.

I agree, I think it's all about quality.

4000 is to much for me to do

I personally believe Swannzie offers extra services, and that these contribute to his booming popularity.

I've hit around 7000 posts and i'm not popular on GS i guess its cus i don't have a cool blog or my sig isn't funny. To be fair i don't think about by posts as i hit that button and usually i get moderated, infact i have been suspended more times than anyone on GS i reckon they always take me back though
Swannzie manages to find time to comment on my profile i feel starstruck
Swannz is definately the most popular brit on GS. Also Swannzie has been around since the dawn of time.
If you wanna be popular, comment on people's blogs, add anyone who quotes you, comment on their blogs, make blog posts to test your popularity. Regardless if you have anything interesting to say just post anyway, and make sure its a long rant

Swannzie : I've seen some people's blogs though and they're not that great (I think you know who I mean)

T-Virus : Thanks for agreeing with me

Jay : I've been saying this all along, glad to see that someone agrees!

HHK : You're the first person with a high post count that hasn't had that many profile views, you must be the exception to the rule And yeah, Swannz is a GSUK legend, don't know if he's the most popular though.

Thanks for the comments guys!
