You can always start anew, TinTin. Reset, name-change, new clan, stay off of forums for a while... You can make it work!
@OP. I had my fair share of being popular when I was CyanMoose, and a little bit when I started the clock riot. What people are saying about bein yourself may sound cheesy, but it's true. As cyanmoose and even as hamster I just be myself. On WC I believe I was quite popular because I just acted like, well, me. On WC atleast all it took was lots of speakers, and being friendly and I guess funny. If youre on WC, or forums alot, people will start to like you and get used to having you around. So what I can tell you is, be yourself, post lots of good threads and post, and make people like you.
Tin tin , I don't hate you , and anyone can start fresh , look at RP , she started fresh and she is a popular forumer , I've seen many noobs that have been popular before . I don't aim for a reputation , I just post on threads and I don't lie for anything. I say what I think about the topic , that's the point of forums. @OP redefine "popular"
