Spamming you all with more of this "popularity" BS.

Given as I seem to be a central focus in this ridiculous fiasco, I'm going to try my best to hammer the last nail in the coffin here.

 

This is stupid.

 

Honestly. I can't think of a different way to put it. I've been getting insulted and EVERYTHING throughout this whole ordeal, and I'm getting flat out to the point where I wish the staff would concede to the will of these temper-tantrums being thrown here just to shut them up.

 

I'm going to be blunt. Giving shoutouts to the people you call your friends is not "elitist" by any standards, you're simply choosing to take it that way.

 

Do you want to be popular? Fuck, you can have my popularity. I'm here for ponies, first and foremost, and the 34 unread messages (on here and Skype combined, 25 on here, 9 on Skype) I'm trying to reply to and hold a decent conversation with people as to not make them feel excluded will happily be passed on to you.

 

Keep in mind that A.) Real conversations are key and B.) People are going to go and talk shit to you and about you if you don't respond immediately because they'll think you're ignoring them.

 

Balance that out with being at school from 8 - 3, work from 3 - 6, and participating in after-school activities, just like the academic meet I went to today and was wanting to blog about. I had pictures ready and everything, but fuck that, you're getting a rant instead because I'm tired of dealing with this.

 

Quite frankly, being well known is NOT what you think it is. It's NOT all glamour and glory. It gets pretty stressful at times.

 

Now, popularity exists EVERYWHERE. You CANNOT change that, and being a prick to the people in that position is just flat out unnecessary. You don't like the whole popularity chain? Neither do I. You want that favorites thread shut down? Several valid points have been made, even if I simply see it as giving a shoutout to my closest friends on here that, quite frankly, I don't mind making time for because we have fun hanging out together.

 

rarity_shocked_vector_by_pangbot-d4ks6da.pngSeriously. This has gone too far.

 

Grow up. There's two sides to each story, if you would take the time to look.

Just gonna say, the one time I got popular in a counter strike clan, people started taking my word as god when it came to in-game stuff, was damn near scary :(

You know this whole situation these last few days made me learn something. Being popular is no big deal. As long a you enjoy what you're doing who cares how popular you are.

Well put. I think it's reasonable to be hurt if someone you thought was your friend fails to mention you, but it's really a separate issue from popularity. I do have an issue with it (which is why I never participate in those threads), but popularity isn't it.

CB's right, I have about 5 friends in total, and I don't care about being 'unpopular' as long as I can have friends to rely on, I'll be happy. it seems a lot of people are forgetting the subtitle of the show we watch: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC

Pretty much, yeahh.

 

One side is crying that popular members are elitists and the community is unfair, while they're actually just jealous and want to get popular too. The other side is acting as if they don't like popularity, while actually they just want to make the, "He's so modest and humble," image.

 

Popularity does matter. Don't lie to yourself. You like feeling cared by a lot of people. The problem is that how people here are overreacting over empty popularity. People here aren't famous because they're good at something. Not art, not intelligence, not skills. Yet, people are worshiping them.

 

Both are fishing for attention. This is just so funny.

Sure, feeling cared about by a lot of people feels nice, but it's not entirely necessary. I think it's better to have a small group of close friends, than a whole bunch of friends that you're not even close to at all.

Pretty much this.

 

Me & Champ and a few others have a very tight knit group of friends on here. Hell, we play games and shit together almost nightly over Skype.

It's the same way for me in real life. I don't have like a shitload of friends, but I have a close group of friends from high school, and we still hang out and talk to this day. I'm content with the friends that I have, I don't feel the need to have like a hundred friends lol

No it's not, indeed. I didn't say anything about necessity. I'm talking about people going like, "Popularity doesn't matter! I don't want this!" and, "I'm not popular, and I feel ignored in this community."

 

It's just funny to watch.

I feel that I should say something because it obvious people have seem to reacted to my opinionated post in member listing threads.

 

Im not complaining about popularity, I could care less about being popular.

 

I think being popular is way too much work and is pretty overrated.

The image below is basically how I feel about popularity. 

 

look-at-all-of-these-fucks-i-will-never-

 

What I do care about is my friends.

 

Its like everybody has said many times over, " why does it matter if you're popular or not?" "As long as you are happy with the friends you have and enjoy the forums, what does it matter?"

 

I care if somebody tells me that Im their friend and then turns around and forgets about it as if they have amnesia.

 

Iv said something along this lines in member listing threads - "Its basically friend exclusion, its the thought of why am I on your friends list if you think so little of me?"

If it makes things easier on you, GFK, I can start disliking you. You stink and/or are lame. Rarity is worst pony. The Texas Rangers are worst team. Also, your mom.

I know how you feel man, I still haven't returned all those mom's calls. Got like 30 voicemails now, only one night in that darn club........But anyway, I agree that a lot of it is just people overreacting.

Ok, I'm sorry, but can someone explain to me what happened?

 

I have no idea what I missed, but the blogs have gone nuts with these topics. I came here because it seemed like everyone here knows what's going on, and maybe could fill me in.....If it isn't too much trouble.
