    I've had these things sitting on my comp for a while, so i finally decided to do something with them

    Heres my boring little opinion on why this is seems to be the case:
    I think that some people get popular because they are good at what they do, some just because they are Mods. Then, almost naturally, newcomers look up to these people, and their threads a lot of attention because the whole mindset of FP is probably "Lets humor the popular people so maybe we can get in good with them". You can see this not only on the forums, but with video stars like DasBoSchitt and Kitty0706 too. Don't get me wrong, most of these guys are VERY good at what they do. But sometimes you can have a guy who is a newcomer and who has just as much talent, but gets ignored.
    KEEP IN MIND:
    -The names im using are only examples for the type of people im referring to (regular, popular, and really fucking popular)



    This one i made just for the lulz

    Or just become like Deathbucket, looks at his threads. He was infamous, mostly everyone came into his threads to see how bad his screenshot was.

    Replace "Crazymonkay" with "Jenkem" in that picture, and there you will find me.

    like it says in the OP: The names are just symbols
    And Chesty doesn't suck at all :colbert:
    I see the misunderstanding of what jokes are is still alive and well.

    Haha, I've had the idea to rant about this for like 8 months.
    Only my best friend kept me from doing it.

    It's really sad its true, as many good newcomers stopped posting after 3 poses because they get ignored.
    Just a small question:
    Who of you guys look at the username that posted it before opening a thread? And may even ignore a thread because of the usernames?

    It happened to all of us. We all get some feeling of "Who gives a fuck?", but you just keep making good content, and being in-touch with the people who view it. It takes time.

    I never ignore a thread, even if it says DeathbucketALT#98123 on it, because if I do, I might miss a nice laught or either see some improvement on him(A man can dream).

    I mean, the only difference is that when I open a thread from Chesty/Vman/MasterFGH/Uberslug/Bodelan/etc I already know that im going to see something nice, thats why I like newcomers, because they tend to surprise you(in a good or bad way lol).

    Also, you need to be quite a nice editor around here to be known, those guys that you see that get many replies worked alot to get there :P Nobody is born a pro, and lets not lie, when you have been a while here, people tend to encourage you when you improve, like with The Combine or maybe even me.

    Long-short story, it takes time to be known here, and those who are probably deserve it, just wait and keep improving, your time will show in the future.

    I know that feeling :buddy:
    I lost it I think 2 months ago when I started to make 'funny' pictures that got good comments and much for a suprise.
    Then I make a serious picture where I spend 4 times the time in 2 days ago and I'm back to half the comments I usually get.

    And I have a strange sense Chesty is ignoring all my threads

    Haha. I love this. It's completely true, but people shouldn't be condescending of the situation on the forums. Where some of you say "pah, this is so true" it's like you think it's unfair that people who make great pictures and have been posing and editing for years get more views.

    I've been here longer than you and you still get more comment's to your threads.






    But you are way better poser than me anyway.

    true, true.

    weird thing is, I wanted to make a similar picture a few days ago, with the typical behaviors of various facepunch users, but scrapped it

    I've said this before
    "I always wondered why you get more comments on your threads. Then I realized you make really good pictures"
    at chestymcgee
    but there is some injustice for example: SatansSin, Stealth and Joazzz
    they all make great pictures but are always over shadowed by chesty's big name
