its true

there are some ppl in /vrg/ that i really like to hang out with but I try to always remember to suppress the urge to go talk to them TOO often, since it would be really terrible if they think of me as clingy or an orbiter, because ultimately orbiters are seen as less socially valuable because they are so "easy" to engage with. (since they will simply almost always come to you.)

On the contrary, if you manage to make yourself socially desirable in passive rather than active ways, (i.e. always being around orbiters, filling a rare "niche" such as being pure, having a meme associated with you in the thread, flaunting a brand new avatar, etc), then a lot of ppl generally can't help themselves but want to parlay with you, and whether they know it consciously or not they do see you higher on the pecking order. (although a lot of shy boys will purposely avoid you in this case because of their fear and low self-esteem)
