  If you write somewhere *a lot*, then you are going to get noticed and
remembered. That's the problem with writing there a lot.

  The outcome of this depends on what you write. One problem with him
is that people in general are not all that interested in other people's
personal lives. A few interesting points can be interesting, but if you
use the forum as your personal blog, continuously writing about mundane
things about yourself and your life, people are going to get bored, if
not even annoyed. The more you continue doing this, the more the situation
will escalate. If you continue doing this even after someone politely
gives you a hint that this forum is not your personal blog, the situation
may escalate even further.

  Don't get me wrong. It's not like it's against some etiquette rules to
write about your life and personal experiences. Most people do that.
I do that. However, it's the *amount* of doing that that is relevant.
Don't overdo it. Don't consider a discussion forum to be your blog.
