What does it take to become "[in]famous" on AnandTech forums?

[Pandaren]

Some members seem very well known, or even infamous here on AnandTech. People like Red Dawn and dmcowen674 and caitlion, for example.

So who's [in]famous, and why?

 

[weezergirl]

if you're a girl you're famous.

well except for me. haha.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Well, start with you. How did you hear about the [in]famous Red Dawn, dmcowen674 and caitlion?

 

[HappyPuppy]

I guess people get to know you after you make 25,000+ posts.

I just see Red Dawn a lot in P&N, and occasionally here in OT, usually making sharp posts. dmcowen was involved in some Distributed Computing scandal (I saw it here in ATOT a few years ago and read about him on The Inquirer or The Register). caitlion gets flamed a lot by people 'cause they say she's conceited (apparently her cuteness isn't enough to stop her from drawing fire for her comments).

 

[ElFenix]

only one member is truely infamous, but that was because he killed his fiancee

 

[Semidevil]

do weekly joke threads and you will be famous.

or join in almost everysingle yagt and bring good suggestions.

or join in almost every single thread, and nef.

To be famous online, is just like being famous in real life.....stand out. You either be really funny, really smart, really dumb and annoying, or just an real a**hole.

good luck w/ your dreams.

 

[Legendary]

Make mildly stupid threads repeatedly (caitlion), or one insanely stupid thread once (Syringer). Same effect.

 

[spanky]

getting urself banned will make u famous for like... a day.

 

[Yossarian]

infamous, mean more than famous!

That would be Dennilfloss, for the unknowing.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Have I made it to either list yet?

 

[Garuda]

Caputo!

 

[Brutuskend]

PCresources and of course Dennlfloss (SP)

 

[RossMAN]

I dunno about [in]Famous but I'd say Anand is definitely Famous.

Azurik is also very popular but mostly with the FW/eBay crowd. The man is a legend.

Personally I think JokerSmoker outshines them all, but alas he is a bot

It was quite a bit before your time.

We could probably add Luvly to the list as well.

I started reading the forums in 1998 before becoming a member. I can't believe that this got past me! :Q
