Certain ones because in addition to high post counts they are also awesome:
Furburt, Hubilub, NeonBob- lookin' at you!

Not really, in fact, I HATE some of the "Escapist Celebrities".
It just that after they get popular some of them seem to believe that it's OK to start acting like a self-righteous prick.

Now the question is are they acting differently or are you viewing them differently? How could you even tell the difference?The Austin said:
Let me rephrase that: I hate anyone who acts like a self-righteous prick, it just so happens that some of the more known community members act like self-righteous pricks.Cynical skeptic said:
Not all of them, just some of them.
No worship from me, but I do notice them more... (because... you know, their posts are everywhere.)
Heh, we should start a new poll - "Do you hate self-righteous pricks?"The Austin said:
Possible answers: "Yes", or "Sod off, I'm better than you"
OT: Worship? I can't imagine anyone does that, although perhaps some people ascribe too much weight to the opinions of the users with the obscenely high post counts.
I do, however, recognise a number of the 10,000+ club. Because if someone's posting that much, you're going to run into them somewhere along the line.
But what I'm asking is how does one tell the difference, over the internet, between how a person is actually acting and how your preconceptions are subconsciously altering the way you view them?The Austin said:
Ya know, assuming they've never said anything along the lines of, "d00d, ur postcount isn't even near mine, wtf shud i talk 2 u? ur prbly trolling neway."

Thank you sir, that gave me a good laugh.
Believe me when I say this, but if I were to explain the situations I have been in with some of these people it would give their identities away.Cynical skeptic said:
I've been in situations where their tone is perfectly clear.
Also, my "preconceptions" have nothing to do with post count. I actually respect members with a high post count more than I do others.
For example, let's use Furburt. He's got a high post count, and he's one of the nicest guys on this site. Unfortunately, I don't have the same flattery for other members of our community.
Not inherently.
But some of them, because they have so many posts, I've kind of gotten to know (in a celebrity way, they don't know me, etc) and like them as a person.
So while that guy with a ZP avatar and four posts may be just as interesting, I may have only seen one of those posts and it could have been a "liek mudkips" joke.

whoopty-flippin'-do! so theyve been here longer than i have so what?! im hardly gonna worship them for it!
I don't worship anyone, let alone a stranger with significantly more time on their hands to discuss gaming and other such matters than me.
I do not mean that as an insult, but that is pretty much the only difference between someone with a high post count and a low one. It doesn't mean their posts are better or more note-worthy.

Not worthy, not worthy, not worthy.
