Thanks for the comment. It is a hard issue to get your name out there, especially where the site is currently at, its at a stage where most of the big names have been around for a while which seems to have made the site have an ecosystem similar to that of a secondary school, where you have all the cool kids (whales) who vote for each other and then the less popular kids (fish) who will try anything to be in the cool kids club but what they don't realize is if they just focused on themselves they would become part of their own cool group.

A rough analogy but the best I could think of for now. I think it is a matter of consistent posting with solid content and a bit of luck. Finding what you like to talk about and sharing honest opinions. Also stopping things like vote for vote as with vote for vote people don't actually look at posts so only already known people get noticed.

Sorry for not replying sooner @thedialectic
