It seems like popularity threads come in waves.

Ya know how they say girls get their period at the same time if they spend a lot of time together?

I think nerds on the internet start popularity threads at the same time when they spend too much time together in cyberspace.

It always seems like they appear after a huge wave of newbies have been weeded out... no one knows each other enough when there's a million people, but once they leave, everyone seems to get a handle on who so-and-so is and then they want to shout to the world who they love, hate, lust, etc.

Whoa! Echewta name-dropped me in a popularity post.

I think popularity here is like a wave itself.
