"Becoming a notable! is it worth all they say?"

Hey everyone! Is becoming a notable really worth all this spamming, taking sides and ridiculing other people that you would usually get along fine with? It is mainly just a popularity contest slightly influenced by what is done in the forums but really influenced by what is said of the forums (msn messenger etc) All in all it is bassically a popularity contest. what do you think?!

You see, we're just one, happy, online community.

Being a notable means being the centre of a number of arguments which you get to defend yourself hounorably but at the same time rile all the wannabe regulars up who moan at you for being gold (the term high and mighty gets thrown around a lot) and we all argue and have fun.

Well I have fun, I laugh at you all secretly. I love you guys.

Exactly how many notables or there on this forum? And if you are a notable what are the perks? I can see that there name changes colour and they deffinetly have a lot more credibilaty.

You can now actually go one worse than smelling of BBC2, and that's smelling of BBC4.. Imagine waht radio 4 would be like if it was on TV, and that's BBC4 - a digital only channel that screens arthouse films and has debates about books.

Ditto Goatboy.

Monkey_man deserves to be a notable, as does Rav before he says anything. :0) I can't say I personally think Pro Evo should be, because, well, I've never even seen him before the elections, and I haven't seen him since them.

Yes! Yes! Listen to Goatboy you must!

Humm...maybe I should start a topic in the WWE Forum saying we need a Notable to represent us...

Oh, wait.

What is all this stuff about forums being represented by a notable, I thought that you were supossed to vote for someone who made good contributions to FOG (like saying Boobs! lots)
