Literally got a Guinness World Record. Number 1 of the leaderboard for a long time. I mean if that's not being popular, I don't know what else is.

It's funny how you think a Guiness World Record equates to popularity. You know you can just buy one of those, eh? Was it for platinums? Or total trophies? 10 or 12 years ago? Either way, he's long-since been usurped by the shovelware kids. 3. Leaderboards also means popularity? That doesn't matter after you realize he's had an entire team of players account-sharing and file-sharing since Day 1 of trophies. Hence why he boycotted the site after Sly layed the smack down on him over a decade ago. 4. My original point still stands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 I think it depends a lot on the definition of “popularity”. If “popularity” is just rep points, then it’s MidnightDragon If “popularity” is “produced the most content”, then it’s still Dragon-Archon If “popularity” is “name-recognition in trophy hunting generally”, it probably is Hakoom or Ikemenzi If “popularity” is “being well known around the site, but not necessarily for good reasons” (infamy, if you will), I’d say it’s probably still AJ_Radio, despite being long banned. If “popularity” is “being well respected on the site for trophy achievements and whatnot” - there are a bunch of candidates, but I suspect SlimSanta94 would be up there. If “popularity” is simply “being the most liked by the most people” though, I would imagine it would be tough to find a chap more beloved than JoeDubz 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effdeegee Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) I think AJ_Radio was banned for spamming 100 posts per day, for 2 years straight, where every post was either just a couple of sarcastic words and considered spam, or a 5,000-word essay, in response to a yes or no question, that always included more than two or three tangents about how everyone and everything is more crooked and stupid than he.

Riiszk Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The only correct answer is an Italian who has been unmatched in the trophy hunting community, not only with their trophy collection, but also their prowess in the 'i like that guy' category. They are definitively the most popular. https://psnprofiles.com/TheMostPopular 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakingthegreen Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 May I nominate @Abby_TheLastofUs for making threads and posts about all kinds of game announcements and news, Additionally it'd be a mistake to forget @Sailar91 who follows the announcements with PS Plus and reports it very quickly. Regardless of your opinions on them, most of us would agree this site would be so much lesser without them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the measurement I'd say it's clearly either of those. I mean, Hakoom has either being number 1 or in contention for number 1 for over a decade, you don't fly under the radar with that kind of spotlight on you whether you personally like him or not. It's like when I see people downplay a celebrity actor because they're in movies the individual doesn't personally watch/like. Whether he's 'popular' by measure of being liked above others is one thing, but he damn sure is one of if not the most famous. Ike likewise, probably even moreso nowadays as the Hakoom era seems to be on its way out and newcomers to this scene may be more familiar with seeing Ike and not know the history of Hakoom. These names stretch to the widest audience for sure and it's reflected both on their PSNP profile views and the attention and recognition beyond the bubble of PSNP. It's like, if you were going to play some kind of Family Fortunes / Family Feud and for some reason the question was "Name a PlayStation trophy hunter?" You're damn sure going to say Hakoom for the top scoring answer it's what most people know even those who are very casual into the world of trophies. 4 hours ago, DrBloodmoney said: If “popularity” is “being well known around the site, but not necessarily for good reasons” (infamy, if you will), I’d say it’s probably still AJ_Radio, despite being long banned. I'm not even particularly that active but I definitely know that name lol, I have to admit I do miss the ramblings with the same tangents. It is an interesting thought too whether infamy counts into popularity. Is it to be just known or to be especially liked. When I see people ask about popularity of public figures I typically associate with fame rather than being especially liked because it's just harder to measure a subjective thing like that across a mass audience. What amount of 'I like them' applies to every individual that's heard of the person? We going to start some polling for that? everyone rate every trophy hunter on a likeability scale 1 to 10 and we'll go get us a trophycritic score for this. I might dismiss infamy and especially disliked individuals in the celebrity world as not being 'popular' (though not controversial figures as they still have many who do like them in addition to hate). If they're not especially disliked however and are known and followed by a lot of people then I'd consider that to be popular, for example, for a time you could certainly say Andrew Tate was popular (maybe he still is, I haven't seen or heard anything of him for some time and I don't really care to look anything up about him either). Also, as someone who's not especially active myself, from my experience with the site I would consider yourself to be a noteworthy figure. I see quite a bit of you, and when I do I see your post headed with the 'popular post' and find myself often giving yourself a like and respecting what you have to say. I think it would be a disservice to not consider yourself in the mix for forum popularity at least. You seem well liked, active and recognisable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a circle jerk.. The people at the top of the reputation leaderboard all have upwards of 10k posts (many times higher than the average user) and also tend to post a lot of topics and/or maintain popular threads & community events which is where most reputation comes from. If you look at the patterns around the site, people always tend to upvote the original post in a topic and usually the first few visible comments in a thread, especially if they are helpful or interesting. From pg. 2 and beyond, interaction falls off significantly. Posting news about upcoming games, PS+, or new sales is also a really easy rep farm. Upvotes on this site have little to do with popularity anyways, it’s just a random coincidence that all the top members happen to also be pretty damn cool people. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
