Nefarious 2.0 posted:

op will never be a true poster because he doesn't have the poster mindset. you prey on others with no regard for who is trying to prey on you :justpost: and let god sort em out

This is sound advice, although disguised a little bit to hide the true intelligence behind the poster. I predict you have an actual smart persona, but tend to hide or disguise it when posting on here to better "fit in" and "adapt" to the environment. Good advice, nonetheless.

I was like you, kid. Then I glombed onto the Trump thread. Started with quoting and making quick replies. Moved up to being assistant VP of the 1,000 page thread.

Look at this horrible thing I made:



It's terrible! But if one person guffaws at it, it was worth the 53 hours of work to make it!

So advice #1: Make good use of your time! Like me!

Advice #2: When Meme Poker Party starts posting anime stuff, you may wanna right click-save as, because some of that stuff really "rolls my coal" if you know what I mean *suggestive grin*

it gets me excited and I cough up black tar

Advice #3: Camber your legs for maximum posting traction. So you should be posting like this:



Good luck!

Wow, this was grade A advice. Thank you for telling me all this. I will take it in stride.

Well, I hope this is the "right" answer, but if it's not, I'm outta luck, because I can't deny it: I loving LOVE video games. I play them constantly. I'm waiting eagerly for FAR CRY 6 to finally come out, curses that it was delayed. I'm in the middle of the ACE ATTORNEY series, and have played, in the last month: Superhot, Lord of the Rings: Shadow of War, all of the Lego games, Far Cry 5 (replay), Hitman (the newest one, reboot), Arkham Knight, and currently replaying Bioshock Infinite. which, IMO is the best game ever made.... although Batman: Arkham City is a close second.

I've been a member here for about 16 years now. My last post was five years ago.
I rarely post, however.... I try to follow the old adage of LURK MOAR. I prefer to remain in the darkness, behind the curtain,... like some creepy, pervy voyeur...watching all that goes on here but rarely participating.

The reason for this is simple, though... I fear having my rear end completely handed to me. You all are an extremely frightening bunch. You're masters of insults, kings of laying waste to someone's topics, professionals in newbie bashing.... it's all quite traumatic.
So I stay away. Even though I know a lot of the history, and I know the types of personalities here, and yes, even though I am protected with stairs in my house (is that even still a thing?), I know the rules.... I was told to ask myself "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?". I figured, well, yes...perhaps this may be interesting to a few, but a lot of you all appear to be harsh judges.....I fear for my sensitive, emotional feelings. That if I make ANY new post or topic, extreme hellfire will rain down on me in the form of words and becoming the forum's plaything at least until the mods decide it's been played with as a toy enough to finally be put out of its misery and move it to the Toxic Waste Dump. In fact, this is probably where you're reading this thread right now.

How can I change? How can I become a member of that inner group? How can I be accepted? What does it take to become a goon and admired, accepted, and maybe even LIKED among other fellow goons? I mean, I've read the rules... I've lurked tons (16 years)..... I've only made 18 posts (now 19 with this topic) in that time..... If anyone is a lurker, it's me, trust me.
And yet, I still have no idea how to be a goon or what it takes to become one. Teach me! I'm a willing student. I want to become one. I'm willing to go through any initiation you might have. You want I should be a pledge, of sorts?

Teach me the goon ways. Tell me the goon secrets.

Does anything involve a live chicken?

Thanks! That's useful advice to know. I'm not usually keen on posting just for the sake of posting, though, but I'm intrigued by the posting level system you're talking about. Levels come with post count? And eventually you get to pick your own title? Huh. That's interesting. I agree, though, that "shitposter" would apply best, heh.

You can easily get ur first probe by posting without having a pic in ur post in the cursed image thread. Also sometimes quoting a funny picture and asking for a mod to probe u and use it as the excuse works as well

Yep, you hit "quote" and get taken to the reply box.. then you scroll down (into the replies that are previewed in reverse order) and on EACH of them is a "add quote" button. Press it and it automatically puts it into your reply.

But that requires an extra "click"! It's too bad images aren't turned on on this forum, although I already know why they aren't... it would be abused like hell. Dick pics in every topic. Not that that's a bad thing.
