What happened to the rest of you?

Recently I got awarded one of those badge things, from this site, apparently I am a "socialite". (!!??)

I went to have a look at what that means and discovered the following factoid.

I am one of only Eight of such people on this site, out of a total membership of nearly 80,000 souls.

Now apart from meaning that I'm a flipping outlier again, (even here!) AND "anti-socialite" would be a more apt description, it got me wondering.

Only one in 10,000 of us has as many "Friends" here as me and the other members of the socialite group...  

And when I do read the wider site, most people seem to post just once or twice and then fail to continue except for a small cadre of regular posters.

Since getting "socialite"is it seems a bit of a statistically "standout" thing, I'd like to thank everyone on my friends list who by either asking for or accepting my request, made it possible. 

If any of you who have added me, now regret it (and that's very possible) prompt action now,  in removing me from your friends lists would:

A. be much appreciated, &

B. I'm curious to see if one can LOSE an "award" here...

I'm also curious to know if I am right to deduce that this site meets the needs of a small few of us, but is pretty irrelevant to the majority of it's members?

    It is a funny old world Mr Sperg - you getting a badge?  What are you, a Brownie?  [Oh my goodness, I feel a "roast" coming on - must back away and be calm.]

    All I have EVER wanted, was to be Isperg's friend......but, alas, no.  He has reached his lofty achievement without me.  It's like when your mate from school (who was irritatingly "something special") buys his first Bentley Continental aged 32 !!

    see Ren and Stimpy

    Favourite cartoon as a kid. Until Simpsons came along and surpassed it. Then South Park took the crown.

    I still like animation. but 70's 80s stuff, like "heavy metal(1981)" and fantastic planet (1973)

    Frustrated cartoon watching ambitions as a kid, then I had a kid in the 90's, and my cartoon watching boat came in...

    Go see if you tube will let you see Ren and Stimpy series 2 episode 2 tooth nerve beaver.. (O.k. I didn't watch that one with my kid) 

    I've even got a courage the cowardly dog tee shirt...  And more spongebob merch than I should too.

    My secret shame, "outed" at last..
