T_T I only brought it up because it's an example of what Faye was saying in how people become popular. You could get rid of the post count but it won't change the notion? idea? indication? that the reason why someone's name is "out there" and hence, popular, is because well... people saw their name a lot!
Word of mouth, whatever. Their name was seen because they posted. Or their presence was constant or consistent in areas that have high populations of RPers.
The major thing is... people don't even know they're popular until they see it. Like Faye and Chachanji mentioned when they had people tell them "I'm a little intimidated to RP with you..." Or when i had someone randomly go "Oh, you're that Kage from Balmung aren't you? Stay after this boss fight so I can take a screencap with you!"
