Do you know any Basil Famousers?

I mean Famous Basilers?

Who do you consider "Basil Famous" and why?

@ZombieOverlord: I'm not above it if the occasion arises, but I don't, for example, go about saying stuff like "get out of here <insert name of semi-famous new basiler here [you, notkelly, notzach, luscious, etc]> you're not funny, <insert name of old famous basiler here> was funnier/better/cooler"

Yeah, that's the word.
My vocabulary has been pretty rusty lately for some reason.

@Krill I can't seem to remember the name of your old account. It's bugging me. I swear it's something along the lines of Pecan[/quote]
Carrot, Pecan, BlitzShrimp, Kyeh, and a number of alts that are now decommissioned.

[quote=audio]i think the concept of "basil fame" used to be a lot more prominent whenever custom avatars were still a thing since that used to be the main way to get your posts noticed
now that we've lost that feature i feel like the preeminence around certain basilers has deteriorated and it's gotten to the extent that there are very few famous faces in these parts anymore. sure, a handful of people are fairly well-known but they're not openly reputed like they might have been a couple of years ago

i used to talk to a couple of the allegedly-famous basilers back in the day i guess but i never really broke into that "clique" myself
sidenote i've also noticed that basil cliques are virtually nonexistent anymore which is surprising when they were so ubiquitous just a year or two ago, which is a good thing i suppose? i feel as though in turn it's sullied the communal/friendly ethos that used to exist though like i'm noticing much fewer open friendships via people's posts[/quote]

Mhm.

And really the only "basil clique" I've seen is the one of people who were "here since the beginning."
I feel like they sometimes post "Omg! Remember all these cool basilers?" that no one else will remember, and they quote each other and say, "yeah, those were the days, back in (I don't know, 2006 or 2007?). Do you remember this guy too? Yeah, he was so cool!" And they nominate old basilers who never post anymore for basil awards... that's the only "basil clique" I've seen and most of them aren't well-known at all.

@pinoymystic: Yeah!

I'm hoping there will be something interesting happening soon, even if it's an annoying poster.

Mods.
People who post frequently.
People who post frequently but type like this: lol wut are you even sayin
But for the most part, nothing funny is ever said anymore. Poor Basil. How lackluster you've become.

[quote=UglierBetty]You're right.

For the past few months no one has been famous and it's all a big ball of dull threads.[/quote]

But yeah. There are no big personalities as of late. I hope we're just at an 'in-between' state and there will be a 'new wave' of interesting threads.

My home girl @Iceheart1111 quit for good.

I don't know where Camille went, but she said she was never coming back. (I had the feeling she hated me though... lol So I don't know why I called her my 'home girl')
