I don't think many people recognize me. I gave myself a 3, because I think I have a couple of friends on here, but I don't think anyone particularly values my opinion more then anyone else's or "calls on me" for something specific.

Its kind of odd actually, people like you that were held in high regard (and still are by people that remember you, like myself) all sort of disappeared a while ago. And not just some of you, literally almost all of you. And now it seems you're coming back.RAKtheUndead said:I'm one of those old-school posters who no longer seems to be at all relevant in the forums, and whose notoriety only seems to extend to other old-school posters and the people in IRC. However, I have definitely had some notable posts - most notably beginning with my topic entitled "Space Warfare: Almost Everything You Know Is (Probably) Wrong", the first in a series called "Probing The Inaccuracies". A lot of my reputation stems from this series, as it demonstrated an in-depth and detailed approach which I find disappointingly rare on these forums.
There's another topic of mine which I would consider notable: "Esoteric Operating Systems: The History of OS/360 and its successors". This is one of those topics that would seem to have almost no appeal for the people on these forums, and yet, I managed to get a dozen replies and several thousand views - rather impressive for something that transcends nerdity and goes into ultra-nerd territory.
And finally, I'm an Escapist Contributor. I've had a guest article and two Guest Reviews published, which does contribute to notoriety to some degree. I'd love to be able to get something published in the Weekly Issue, but the chances of that happening fall under two categories: slim and none.
Yet, despite these notable posts, the new audience really don't recognise me at all. Therefore, I must presume that my notoriety score is a 3, with people from the IRC and some of the older members here being among those few people which still acknowledge my existence.
Well I notice, because you're hilarious.Cheveyo said:I'm a ninja. I'm always there but nobody really notices.
