MacRumors: Who do you follow?

Lately I've been following:

ravenvii - MRville storyteller extraordinaire
iBlue - so much fun, just don't tick her off
Tomorrow - my reasonable brother
Cave Man - guru on all things mac HTPC related

Yes it's a thread ressurection, but it's a topic that's interesting and constantly changing.

He's really your brother?
 
I don't follow anybody. I don't subscribe to threads, I don't ignore anybody, I have a buddy list of 2/3 people, I don't use the Forum Spy... Damn I do not use the full potential of these forums!

There is no-one on my ignore list.
 
Huge list :eek:

I follow abijnk, tomorrow, lee, rdowns and several others on twitter. I don't have anyone of my buddy list here, although I admit I've never tried it out.

Some of those have moved on, or been banned or changed their names. I've been on MR for a while so it's built up over the years, but it isn't as inclusive as to include those who have really made their mark over the past 18 months or so. I think it often comes as a surprise when those who see their name mentioned realise that someone actually closely follows their posts.

I understand that you're the partner of someone on that list. I haven't added to or updated my buddy list for a long time but probably should update it to reflect some of the newer, interesting characters around here, especially some of the demis. When I was modding, I wouldn't have posted that list, so as to not appear to play favourites. Now, I couldn't care less.

With following people being all the rage now a day (twitter, facebook, etc.) I thought I would pose a question to our community. Who on MacRumors do you follow? Of course we have buddy lists, ignore lists, and the like, but what I mean is this. Do you have someone on here whose posts you seek out for any particular reason? It could be anything. Maybe you enjoy their sarcasm, maybe their writing style, they post good topics, you agree with their point of view, or it could be that you despise them and seek out their posts simply to have the opportunity to disagree and rail against whatever it is they are saying regardless of topic. So, jump in here and tell us who among our community you enjoy following and why. This is not intended as an opportunity to bash fellow members so be respectful even if you follow someone because you enjoy debating them.

__________________________________________________________________________

A few that come to mind for me:

Jessica - I enjoy seeing her turn being blunt into an art form
RedWarrior - so sweet and genuine
Leekohler - strong opinions, yet open to listening to others (usually) ;)
Iscariot - I like living dangerously and knowing he could destroy everything at any given moment for any given reason keeps me on my toes
Abstract - some of the best sarcasm on the forum
themoonisdown09 - makes me laugh
Doctor Q - what else needs to be said, he's the one and only... Doctor Q
thegoldenmackid - no one's faster at getting to post so he can tell people how silly they are for not searching first
edesignuk - starts some of the best threads ever
ucfgrad93 - it always seems like his posts are so well thought out and he tries to be helpful to anyone who posts with questions
dukebound85 - nobody drunk posts better than he does
All my MR fantasy football partners - you know who you are, you folks are the best, it's too bad I have to whoop you all and take the championship :D

That's all I can think of for now. I know this is probably only interesting to those of us who are regular or semi-regulars around here, but don't be afraid to jump in if you are new.

We were discussing you, not others. From the rules. If it quacks…

Things Not to Do
These are usually not instantly bannable - but will likely get you edited and/or warned. Repeated violations can produce bans.

Useless posts. Do not bother making posts with only one or two words (e.g., "cool" or LOL) or a smilie, or post simply to have the first reply in a thread. Such posts waste everyone's time and will be deleted. Posts saying "I agree", "+1", "this", "me too", or the equivalent are also routinely removed, so don't post them. If you aren't interested in a thread, skip the thread; don't post to tell us you aren't interested.

Spam and overposting. Not just being a prolific poster, but posting the same exact post many times, posting multiple pointless posts in the same thread, making numerous posts with no real content, or posting for the purpose of gaining a higher post count.

“It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Seriously, it doesn't matter do you post 2 or 2000 posts per day if none of them is useful. It's all about the quality. I found this smartarse quote so I thought I have to reply :p
