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.

I'm probably a 1. I'm pretty new here and I'm not very social (in RL and on the net). Plus I've never created a new thread, I just kind of lurk around and post here and there.

I think of myself as easily forgettable. After all, I am just a stranger. :)

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I could disappear and there wouldn't be a second thought about it.

Little to none. I don't really think anyone notices me in particular, or at all.
I post my opinion, and get quoted 1-5 times a week, and that's about it.
My use of the Escapist doesn't really stretch further than Off-Topic Discussion, and the occasional ZP or Unskippable.

Maybe a 4.5?

I mean, I'm pretty famous round these parts for simply posting a lot, maybe a bit for reviewing, and of course occasionally pissing people off and getting banned.

But I don't think I'm anywhere as E-Famous as people like Hub or Furb.

I will say this again. I can't answer this. The escapist community can only answer this for me. I can't read minds people. I guessed a 1 or a 2.

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.
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.

Did you guys go on some sort of awesome cruise or something?

I have less than 300 posts over a period of almost 2 years, I'd say that makes me pretty obscure.

I'm more ofa 2.5 than a 3, I post here often though I don't think people know me as much as others.

I used to be a GOD amongst you forum goers! I was feared as the resident Playstation fanboy on these here parts of the Escapist!

Now I'm just sort of the guy behind the movie ticket register, not many people care and only some really notice me.

Oh, cruel cruel fate...

3.

A one of my friends in real life is on here, and I've made a couple of posts that were quoted quite a lot, which I always love. But I doubt that I'm one of the very main members of the site like Furburt or someone like that.

maybe I'm known, maybe not. If I'm known it's for my Beatles stuff rather than any posts
