Do you recognize your fellow gaffers ?

On Gaming and on Football GAF yeah, its mostly the same people most of the time

Sometimes you get to know the posting style and general opinion so well, that you can with immense accuracy predict what someone will say.

Give me a topic on Gaming and list 10 posters who regularly post, and you can pretty much write their replies for them, its very predictable.

I found it much harder to do that in OT
 
I recognize about a quarter of the posters in this thread, but unfortunately I'm only aware of the personalities and posting habits of an extended handfull.
 
I do sometimes. Ones that are on often or who post in OT community threads. Avatars help a big. I remember names too. I don't like when people get name changes though.
 
usually by their avatar first and by their name sometime after. i would lose track of the majority if they changed avatar. it's a lot easier to get to know the people who post about one particular topic often rather than just a little bit in everything, so if you bail out of discussion early than you're probably unknown to me

Sure, I remember quite a few people, although mostly from the threads that I frequent. GAF is too big for my horrible memory.

I think people recognize me as "That guy who really likes Tolkien. No, not Edmond Dantes, the other guy."

checks out here
 
I lurk poligaf, so I can recognize most of them.

I also recognize blame space, since he's the best poster on the forum (I voted for you over Timedog bro!)
 
Avatar first, followed by name recognition if I see it enough.

Usually in the communites I hang out in but elsewhere as well.
 
Well I remember you cause we post in the same TV threads, I remember all of the F1GAF guys, I tried with anime GAF but I couldnt get into that community despite being a giganto anime nerd.

Everyone else, no.

EDIT: Actually I have some people on ignore, and I guess I must have recognized them since I deemed them incompatible with me over a period of time.

I really only recognize Fiction and JaseC. Fiction because of Sherlock Cumberbatch and JaseC because of Saoirse Ronan. I think I'm starting to remember a few others.
 
Actually quite a few posters in Off Topic I recognize off their picture. Now if you guys would stop changing your avi and just stick with one..
 
My list of people I recognize are:

-MLB gaf
-people from KC
-BlameSpace and BBoyAJ because we all came from Nintendorks (is Satch from GAF our old friend from NDorks?)
-Belic, for making a game I love
-Raging Spaniard for being such an incredible illustrator(something I do professionally)
-a lot of people from PoliGAF, even though I don't post there much, I lurk quite a bit
-the typical "high profile" people: Amirox, Devo, Timedog, etc
-mods
-Cornballer, who should be one

People who I generally think I agree with, despite not being able to put my finger on why:
-FunkyPapa
-BenGraven
-the guy whose name I can't remember but has a Tyrion scribblenauts avatar and owns one of the GoT sites
-the guy who I think is newer and has kind of a "tough guy" avatar, of an illustration of a dude in a basketball jersey
-Dax
-Dark Octave

These are all people who I see their avatar and just have a feeling I'm going to agree with them.

Toxic Adam and Enzark are both people I like despite not necessarily agreeing with them too much.

People I have a negative impression of (sorry!):
- Tuco Benedicto something for being such a PC warrior
- 140.65 (or whatever, with the foxhound av)
-(._.)

I'd love to change my mind about the above people. I feel like all three may have fucked with me in the past, but I could be wrong.

-I used to be annoyed with Dominican Power and his antics, but I just didn't get him... Now I actually find his trolling pretty amusing.

-I find myself sticking to OT more and more. Gaming a lot of times takes itself too seriously by comparison.

-I always was entertained by Aguirre.


All of the above opinions are based on very vague, nebulous images I have of people and I may very well have them all wrong.

Also, I'm pretty sure that there is very nearly nobody who recognizes me, despite the fact I've been here for like 7 years. Which isn't necessarily a complaint.
 
Oh yeah, when I used to lurk there was this dude with a dolan duck avatar, it cracked me up everytime I saw it peeking at me through the avatar pane. Didnt catch the name though, but the avatar stuck.
