Me. I don't really want to be anyone else, and sitting at 10k posts and likes is pretty good, so I'll take myself. I really like the posting style of myself and I strive to follow in my footsteps. I one day hope to be as recognized as myself.

I'll just transport my Hive persona over here (basically, a miniature ArenaMaster.)

Although, I have been enjoying the likes of Miner9823 thus far. There are a few other names that appear bold to me, but none that are definitely striking my inner fancy.

I don't think you should aspire to be anyone else. Just be yourself.

I don't directly seek after anyone else in particular, but I definitely look up to Miner9823 and Mooclan for obvious reasons which have already been mentioned. TheRealAussie always cheers me up and gives me a good laugh. There are also the very patient and kind members of the community that make it an enjoyable place, such as Ceroria, duckluv321, and Avaline. Without these awesome people, the forums wouldn't be worth sticking around.

I just post mainly to pose a new point or if I feel like I can say a lot about a particular topic. I post really carefully because I don't want something to come out wrong. About 60% of the time when I set out to make a post, I simply scrap it entirely because it comes out wrong and doesn't portray my thoughts correctly. About 20% of the time after that, I go back and try again and eventually make it come out right. If I just posted everything immediately and didn't second-guess myself, I would have around 700 or so posts. :p However, who am I to say what people will enjoy? My second most liked post of all time was my "You Might Play Too Much MCSG If..." thread, which I consider to be the thread that I put the least effort into out of the ~10 threads that I have posted.

I don't think foruming should be about trying to conform to anyone's image of what a good forumer is. (Not everyone can or should try to become like Mooclan.) You should just be yourself and do what you're good at or enjoy. This place is just a way to meet people and have fun. Making fun of someone else for their post quality or grammar is kind of sad, and I hope there will be less of that in the future.

I have acknowledged your caution within the forums when you have posted. Nearly every single thread, and post is always carefully written and well described, which always makes it such a joy to read from you, and without you, I would definitely believe that people would have problems with addressing their opinions in such an incredible manner.
But I do believe that there is no harm with letting loose once in a while within the forums, because there are quite a bit of places that I would think are suitable for you to simply enjoy yourself and posting general, yet redundant opinions, which could bring the opportunity to knowing one another more easily.
But you, in general, have always posted incredible pieces of work, and they usually link towards facts, and I have noticed how well you mix facts with opinion, which through my standards, are quite a rare sight within the community.

And you are indeed correct with people idol or in other terms, worship people as if they were legendary individuals for their posts in the forums. Although it may be somewhat a decent thing to acknowledge the effort some people put in their posts, we must also know how we over-idolize them for it. And I believe that we must encourage people to portray their opinions, to make their own paths and choices in the forums, rather than follow within the footsteps of other people. Choosing your own path is what generally makes us unique.
At first, when people have said when I was the next somebody, I was amazed, and flattered knowing that people are acknowledging my opinions and views, but I have later grown to the thought that it is unnecessary to say something like that. I would one day hope to witness more people stepping up within the forums and to make efforts with expressing their views, their perspective, to learn more about the community. :)
