I'm pretty well-known a lot here, so I guess I am a 10 on this scale.

When I still had a colorless name, probably 6 or 7. That went up to 10 once I got supporter'd.

But then again, I do post in a lot of boards.

3-4... I'm mostly known for my quirky interests and have a few regular friends, but not really a celebrity though.

My notoriety has decreased in recent months as I haven't been posting as much as I've used to. Trying to kinda make up for that now, so maybe my rating might go up to a 5 xD

To me, they often go hand in hand. A person is considered popular because they're well known across the community. Being well known then helps you become popular - everybody will then want to talk to and get to know you.

I agree with what you say if only because of the leverage in the bolded word. However I think you are misunderstanding the underlying relationship between being well known and being popular. Let me break it down for you. Consider the following.

Statement A: I am well known.
Statement B: I am popular.

The relation between these two statements is as follows.

B => A

In English this means the following.

If I am popular then I am well known.

What you are suggesting is.

B <=> A

Which isn't true in a consistent sense and let me tell you why. If someone is popular, then they must be well known. That is absolutely logically justified. However if someone is well known, then that (strictly speaking) does not necessarily make them popular. For example would you consider a well known criminal to be popular?

That being said I am willing to agree that the two can often have the relationship B <=> A but remember, this is not strictly true / true for all cases.

i honestly don't care about popularity, i'm happy with how i am right now. i'd rate myself around 2 or 3 perhaps, heck even a 1. the only way popularity will affect me is if it was the only thing to keep me alive, and even then i'd have second thoughts.

Being 'well known' is not the same as being popular. Hell if it was about how well known I am around here, then yeah I'd have a high number. Popularity comes from being well known but a popular person is also well liked which is where we differ and that is reflected in our scores. Your score is still reasonable in my opinion but your justification was lacking.

For the most part, I agree.

I am pretty well known, because I am a Super Moderator, but popularity wise, doubt I would be high up. I say 5-6 on popularity, 8 on the 'well known' scale.

I'd put myself at about an 8 or a 9. As tons of people have said already, staff tend to be better known than other members because we have a bold blue name and all the reputation that that entails.

But I think more than that, I try really hard to be nice to everybody (well that makes it sound like I hate everybody and being nice is a chore, that's not what I mean lmao) and I'd like to think people like me because of that. I reply to my VMs and PMs (though not in as timely a manner as I used to) and I post around several forums.

Also my themes are beyond amazing, thank you all for noticing!

Popularity should never be the end goal, though. That's really vain and obnoxious. It should be a bonus you collect along the way for being who you are!

I used to be pretty well-known and popular I think when I was still active, but now I'd say like a 2 or a 3 lol, there's not many people left of who I was good friends with.

And also, being well-known can result in popularity but honestly it is a double-edged sword.

1? I would say the only person I talk to often is Vianey, owner of the Pink Mommy Adoption Center.
I'm not complaining tho, she's a really cool person to befriend :)

Seeing as I'm still considered quite new to PC as I've only joined late last month (though it doesn't seem that way for me any more as I've already become quite accustomed to this place), I don't think I'm really that well-known around here. I'd give myself a 4-5/10.

Im gonna go with a 1 or 2. I wouldnt really consider myself either well known or popular nessesarily. This is probably due to not being too active in too many sections around here, or talking to that many people. I dont really care too much about popularity Im here just to be on the forums and discuss things with people.

Probably a 2, I'm relatively new and I don't post often anymore. I've had trouble making friends in this particular community, not sure why. I also never go into the Hacking section of the forum or anything like that, I mainly stay in Trivia and Pokemon General :B

I would say 0, but I did get quite a bit of positive feedback for my username when I joined less than a week ago, so I'll just say 1 :P
