The Newbie, elated at his many quotes, rushed to show them to The Master. "Look at how quoted I am!" he exclaimed.

The Master looked it over, and asked the newbie, "are you content with the speed of the forum?"

The Newbie refreshed the page, quizzically

The Master, indicating the users browsing said: "It is better to quote a lurker, and elevate their posting, so that they may be encouraged to make more good posts, than for you yourself to be quoted"

lurkers are a category as well as a behavior.

lurkers can occasionally post and when they do you must quote them. r->c->p

I kinda wanna post more but I dunno how to make good posts, and if the answer is practice, I don't wanna post bad posts in the first place though

never considered it but you can just do this
code:
[quote="username"][/quote]

MuffinsAndPie posted:

and it will show up colored for the person with that username

so if you want to quote a lurker, find one in the list of people browsing and do that

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Just make bad posts in bad or at least inconsequential threads. Also the trick is just never take it personally

Yeah it’s this. Sometimes posts don’t land and that’s okay. Sometime people don’t like them and that’s ok. As long as you’re not being an absolute weirdo you make the good with the bad and that’s okay

If every time you post you get six people telling you to stop posting I think that’s a sign to start reconsidering what you’re doing, otherwise tap those letters into your phone and let them go

The trick to making a good post is to first let go of the desire to make a good post.

The second trick is you will be dead in 1-to-20 something years, but your posts will live on forever in the library of congress. What would you'd rather be, a dead lurker, naught but a stain upon the ground where the worms are thriving? A pathetic human barely qualified for worm feed. or a dead poster whose posting still haunts the future in perpetuity immortalized forever

The third trick to posting is to believe yourself the masters-league GOD of the universe whose holy words bring wisdom and enlightenment to the masses; everyone else is your subhuman peons who should be thankful for your holiest words regardless of merit rendered upon their cumstained monitor
