Popularity
A lot of people seem to be bothered about page ratings on myOtaku, and I can't really see the point. It's like post counts on OB. They don't mean anything. So what if you're site's number one? Big deal. I'd rather write for myself than everyone else.

I guess this was sparked off by the 'come visit my site!' posts in various places. If I like your site, I probably will have found it anyway, and if I haven't I don't really want to be badgered into it unless it has something I really need or want or find interesting. That's not to say that only popular people are interesting and resourceful, but it gets on my nerves sometimes.

I get a slight hypocritical twinge when I write that, though, because I like having friends. But I comfort and rassure myself with the difference between friends and popularity. Popularity can be a very superficial thing (such as the number of visits to a site), whereas friendship isn't. It goesfar deeper and isn't likely to be lost as soon as someone more interesting turns up. I value my friendships a lot more than I do my post count or site ranking.

I must admit, it is nice having a new guestbook entry or reply to something I've said, but I really don't mind as long as I can still be friends with the people I care about.
