Not from an admin, but from someone who knows your position all too well. I know this feedback may seem stupid, but...

To get noticed, and get to be a part of the more "popular" part of the community, you have to step out and make sure you get noticed. Trying once and then shying back into the darkness for a while doesn't help. You have to step into the spotlight and make damned sure you stay there for a while. Make sure people notice you.

Try to get at least one good, strong friendship with a regular on chat, and talk with them in main. Soon, people will join into your conversation, and will see you as an interesting person. From there, your reputation will spread out.

Another thing is to not take any criticism to heart. People can be mean. Just try to improve on what they've pointed out, or just ignore them. Let them forgive you for your mistakes, and in return forgive them.

Just keep your head up, and keep going strong. You'll be as "popular" as everyone else in no time.
