Why is it if i post something positive like a good match or gameplay, i get very little replies except from a few. Yet, if i post some thing negative like a complaint, or something i dont like, i get all the replies.
I want to be the guy who has alot of friends who i can talk and play with in wot. Not just get attention when i am mad.
I am slowy making friends on forums but i want to platoon with them too!
Sorry just had to put that out speak my mind ehe;;;;

IMO, popularity and the number of replies that you get on a thread are independent events. You can be extremely popular, but post a 'bland' thread which doesn't inspire much discussion from others. On the other hand, you can be posting on the forums for the first time, and you post a controversial topic like adding artillery to Blitz. This can attract a lot of (mostly negative) attention.
When you make posts about good matches and gameplay, people tend to congratulate you. But there's not much to discuss except for maybe the details of the match. However, posting complaints about something that you don't like is opinionated, and more players are willing to join in on the discussion whether they agree or disagree with your point of view.
Both with making friends and platooning, sometimes you just need to take the initiative.
Overall, you should just be who you want to be, and post what you want to post. It may not attract a lot of attention, and it may not help you make lots of friends. But the friendships that you do form by being yourself are stronger and long-lasting because those people view you for who you are. I'd much rather have a few close friends/platoon-mates than a large amount of 'friends' who I don't know much about at all.

Easy: Start throwing out money and friends will flock to you 
In all seriousness, the way to get at least well known is with time. Get yourself known as a regular here and people to recognise you and you end up with a reputaion. To be brutaly honest: good stats are almost always nessesary. Unless you have good stats forumers brush you aside (not everyone, but you know it's true, it's the internet). Being in recognisable clans help too.
Of course the only way to be really "popular" is to be a superunicum that's been around since really early on. Being a content makers or community contributor, such as the youtubers helps.
But hey, that's just the machiavellian approach (yeah I've been studying him in history lol)

I Blame Rocket
Popularity is easy.
Watch a politician on TV.
Tell everyone they are the best, even if they are not.
Tell everyone they look good, even if they dont.
Tell everyone they are special, even if they are not.
Tell everyone they are interesting, even if they are not.
Pander to the dullard masses.
Spam endless, useless threads; full of dumb, dumber and dumberest content.
Post some troll memes, throw in a few "I cri", "Kemp Bush".
When you see certain Posters, Forum villains, jump on the band wagon when they get attacked.
Make sure at some point you blame USCUM for all the game/forum problems.
Point out how dumb noobs bring back Necro threads.
Put a girl, pony or dancing pic for Profile.
Follow the above tips and you will be as unique as everyone else.
I have given you the perfect opportunity to start the road to popularity.
Just wait for a few minutes.

Not to derail the thread, but I'm not certain which Machiavelli you are referencing. If you honestly meant Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, then perhaps you should read, or reread, The Prince. Nothing in your statement strikes me as classically Machiavellian at all.
However, if you were referencing Frank Machiavelli from Jersey, then carry-on, I yield to your insight.
Other than that Rocket's got it about right. Except that his first four "Tell" lines has been used exactly the opposite way by Mr. Trump to equal success. However OP, that may not work out as well for you as I believe you need to inherit roughly $200 million from your father to pull it off. If you have, GG.

Better to have forumers fear you than love you. For they will love you when it suits them. But if they fear you, they will fear you on your terms.
But above all else, never have them hate you. Lady Fortuna never favors those who are hated by forumers. She funny that way.
PS. Amirite? She loves hip slang, so throw those in, yo!

Yes you're right, refering to The Prince I mean. I don't know of Frank Machiaveli. I just threw that in becuase my ideas did have a bit of that feel to it (and I wanted some justification so I didn't sound like I was crazy
)

Now we're talking, and yes, Lady Fortuna certainly sides with the forumers whimsy - almost as much as she did with the Medici's.

Post more. A lot more. Enough to make you buy multiple keyboards and get a third arm so you can post more. I've done this, and I sometimes get a hello by some random in a pub.
It's nice to know someone knows I exist ;-;

I like Prof. Mary Dietz's interpretation that The Prince was Machiavelli's attempt to undermine the Medicis, by giving them advice that looks persuasive, but will ultimately lead to their downfall.
Kind of like leaking copies of The Anarchists Cookbook to ISIS just so that they would accidentally blow themselves up trying to follow the recipes.
Brilliant.
