so you wanna be a Yob superstar and post large?
a gold thread, five stars, a pleasure barge
makin� fun of the world, don't hate nobody
don�t even gotta check the post counts constantly
I remember the days when I was a newb just goonin' up
lookin' in the gibbis, dreamin' about blowin' it up
the lurker crowds, make funny, chill with the homies
sign autographs with probies the people request from me
tts funny how goldmined threads manifest
and the namedrops that be comin' with it
nevertheless, you got to go for the emptyquotes
but you don't know about the dabs, weed
and beers and losin' some of your cheer
and losin' some of yourself to the memes past, gone by
hopefully it don't manifest for a creepy guy
whitenoise and the unfunny don't know how to riff
just gas the thread
Garbage Dick sign the deal
think he's gonna make the front page but never will
'til he hands over a lot of 10 bux bills
fillin' your head with novelties, come with me
show the lulz it takes to make the 5's

amazing

Risky proposition for the re-use of popular cats, but people love animals here. Maybe you could be try To Thy Own Pet Be Obsessed, a gimmick where you constantly post about your own animals and post pictures of them.

I do have budgies

The Stark Reminder gimmick brings everyone down with grim, realistic retellings of the worst both the forums and humanity at large has to offer.

Total Overchill is so chill, he barely can support life. He doesn't eat or drink anything. He's just lucky his laptop was open and plugged in before he started posting near him. He wouldn't even bother to plug it back in if it got disconnected, and just slowly withers away with a half-smile on his face and sunglasses on his eyes. Mostly replies with emptyquotes, 'thats chill' and 'lol'. No original content created

We have an example of The Joke Is In the Title / Rhyme Or Sounds Like Variant

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3710811

With weed modifier (dank). Not bad at all. This copies the 'my darkest shame'

nonazis: The ants. They're everywhere, man. Big fuckers.

Always post images that are way larger than the page. It'll make you stand out and people will like you.

The divisory Pointless Randomly Chosen Racism gimmick hasn't had much success here. If you do this one, make sure you heavily invest in ironic mod tokens if you want to stay competitive in the meta.

The Backseat Modder constantly calls out bans, or 'mods?' or what have you. Can be modified with Ironic.
The Most Pitiful Class Of Political Theorist tries to model and understand SA dynamics and power shifts, often hinting at secret knowledge of what's to come from 'behind the scenes' to seem more connected. Can be a mysterious figure, but at the end of the day no one wants to be this guy.
Forums Judas encourages users to post their ideas no matter how bad, but only to inflict incredible owns on them. Enjoy your silver, Forums Judas...
The Skyrimnomicon only answers posts in flavor text from RPG books. Magic cards are ok too.
The Undateable laments his romance trouble in every post. We already have plenty of this guy in the rest of SA, let's steer clear of that one.
The Recycler either reuses old thread material to make new threads and pretends he just half-remembered it and thought he made it up, or he's really into rehashing old bicycling arguments.

Man, if only they put these things in alphabetical order or something. Just all over the place.

Mash that's actually a pretty good gimmick. Which is kind of embarrassing, as I didn't intend any actual gimmicks to come out of this, but it's cool anyway
