How well known/recognised are you on Gaf?

Hmm, when I think about it, most discussions I get into on the OT board seems to have the same dozen people or so. So I guess they'd recognize me :)
 
I don’t aspire to be a well-known poster. Perhaps some people in the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts thread would recognize me.

This is a bizarre topic....how are we supposed to know?

Well, I've been here longer than alot of people, and I'm mostly "in" College Football, Gaf League Football, and Television Show watching.

There's too many minefields to wade through in Gaming, so I don't do much there.

I think I'm mostly known as "oh, you aren't THAT Lonestar?"
 
I'm not really a loud or frequent enough poster to be well known. I recognize a tonne of people from their avatar obviously but a few people I've noticed more than I would anyone else is people like TheHeretic, Gaborn, TheBishop, Relix, Ela Hadrun and Speculawyer for having good debates in religious and atheist type threads. Gaming Side I never post in anymore.

Random names I can remember except mods: Sporsk, Catfish, JayDubya, TheInquisitor. Probably more.

I thought this thread would contain some sort of magical formula that calculates your level of recognition. I am disappointed!
this would be interesting.

this thread just seems like a variation of the "your favorite gaffers" threads now.

i also agree with lonestar about the topic just being bizarre.

That was a great thread. Oddly enough I know him mostly as the one who instigates the US vs UK Office wars in any Office thread irregardless of which version the thread is about. Of course, if he doesn't show up in the first few hours of the thread, someone else is bound to do it.

I know most by their avatars. If I remember by user name it's probably not for a good reason.

I have no friends but one time someone commented on my poor grammar
I'll comment on how your avatar is my favorite use of the KZ2 eyes.

You shall remember me forever.
 
I really have no idea. I post a lot as my job allows me to be on the net, but I don't think I'm made any sort of grand reputation.

It really is an odd thought. Still, I recognize most of the people here, so that probably means I have problems.

Edit: I'd like to think that I'm thought of as calm and rational.
 
I often wonder how recognizable I am based on my avatar, if people skim over posts because they see mannys skull and know its going to be a load of old bollocks :lol
 
Not recognized at all and that's the way I like it. It makes it easier to make incredibly obtuse statements and have them taken seriously. I don't know why I get a kick out of that now. :\ It went from harmless, misinterpreted, inside jokes to borderline trolling. ...ok, full on trolling. :(

I assume I'm pretty much transparent.

I was in a game with Amir0x, F#A#Oo and RubxQub yesterday. My gamertag is the same as my name here, Shoogoo. Someone asked me;

"What's your name on Neogaf?"
"Shoogoo"
"Ah..."
:lol

I stepped into a TF2 server the other day and some guy is like "omg there are Watchmen names already?! How gay!" :( I've used this nick since '94. :''(

I've been thinking about changing my GAF handle for a while now. This is my third GAF name, anyway.

I recognize people by their avatars - definitely know you painey.

I recently wanted to change my avatar, but was afraid I'd be considered a noob again. ;) Even though some could make that claim.

I know a lot of people, too many to list - either the people that I enjoy reading or want to avoid at all cost.
 
Every time one of these threads pop up I read the various 'people I recognize' lists and think I see my name, but it's always MMaRsu.
 
I'm relatively new here so I figure I'm not well known.

But I've had my avatar quoted or had people ask about my av enough times to know that at least some people recognize when I post.

I tend to stick to either Apple related threads or gaming-business threads. I rarely post in official game threads. I prefer talking about the periphery of gaming and not the game experiences themselves.

When I finally read Watchmen, I was like "Oh, so that's where Rors got his name."

Haha sorry man, I recognize you though! So that should mean something :P.

No idea, I still feel like a junior member. But I recognize more people in the OT than in the Game side.
Opposite for me. I've only come into the OT a dozen or so times, but it's getting more frequent. I hardly recognize anyone in here and I'm sure it's likewise for you guys. I definitely recognize a fair bit of gaffers on the game side, though.
 
Most people know me because of my tag, I know this because if i ever change my avatar to anything over 150kb I get 20 Private messages about it.
 
I changed my avatar recently because another user was using my lawyer dog (DAMN YOU TEDTROPY), but I'm still relatively under the radar. I think it's because I don't post in NPD threads. If it's Canada related though, I'll post in it.
 
I think that the key is consistent avatar use.

Nobody knows me, but anonymity is nice

I'm known enough to be easily recognized, but not distinct enough to be missed, I believe.

I know you from the Dark knight Thread + your Joker + Deebo avatars :lol
 
I'm terrible at remembering people on here, and I doubt anyone remembers me either.

Although manabyte, mikeworks, onkelc and sp0rks spring to mind. Then the banned like demi, MAF, matlock and bjork :( And of course the soccer thread regulars.

I think my claim to fame is the dancing hitler avatar and the year or so when I had a tag about having a small penis. That was fun. Current avatar gets attention now and then too.

It drives me nuts that I don't remember whether it's you or MMaRsu that I played Calling All Cars with back in the day.

It was only one session, but it lasted for like 2-3 hours.

It eventually led to me gloating on the forums and being challenged by BobTheFork and we had our 1v1 matches which ended with him probably slightly over me, but overall a close and crazy game.

...but I played with one of you!

I haven't read Watchmen but I assumed your name was for the famous psychology test. Connecting the dots now I'm going to assume the guy with a white mask and black patterns is named that.

Yea, that's probably me too.
kurahadol said:
Highly doubt my presence is acknowledged that much :lol
I remember your avatar, don't know if anyone else uses it. I think if you're remembered well by people it means that you either spend too much time here, saying really stupid shit, or something else that's probably not a good thing.
