Success on the BBS: A Guide to Proven Popularity on this Forum!

[Free?]

The title made me lol. I don't recall any other thread that could achieve something like that.
I'm pretty sure Al is having fire in his belly right now.

Just in case anyone ever forgets why we all want to and/or have had dapantz.

Dear JohnnyNemesis,

Sometimes I go onto the internet and try to achieve Success on the BBS™ but whenever I try I get mean responses like:

I wish I could say this in a less offensive way, but you're just embarrassing yourself, T-6005.

I find step four of the Success on the BBS™ program to be the most difficult. What would you suggest for an aspiring Success on the BBS™ aspirant who aspires to aspirations of Success on the BBS™ greatness?

Assumptions... aren't they just neat?

You'll thank me when you become an e-superstar, trust me. Follow these easy steps:

1. Wait until 90% of the board's previously interesting people become either inactive, completely impatient with the current demographic of the board, and/or kinda lame or behind the times.
2. Post. A lot. Many many many times daily. (Helpful hint: Make sure 1/3 of these posts are picking on members aged 13-15, another 1/3 are "interesting observations", and another 1/3 are quirky articles from news outlets around the web)
3. Refer to already established BBS memes in about 25% of your posts.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until December.
5. Enjoy your end of year BBS award(s)!!!

BONUS: Guide to being a smarmy asshole on the BBS:

1. Make a thread like this one. Post it.
2. Visit thread later. Upon reading that you are indeed an asshole, proceed to Step 3.
3. Accuse unhappy, defensive respondents of projecting their own insecurities on the thread.
4. Ignore criticisms.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 repeatedly.
6. Enjoy flooded PM Box and Visitor Messages!

I'd like to make an observation about this you might find interesting. I had an article that was helpful but I can't find it now. It's allright though, this boards younger demographic is too stupid to understand it.

Once you've achieved this popularity, there's really only two routes you can go. Firstly, you can flaunt how validated and awesome you feel to everyone all the time. This is the ultimate form of self-appreciation. You make become aroused as you preview your post for spelling errors, knowing soon people will be able to read more of you. You could evne like, set up inside jokes about yourself, and repeat them constantly long after they're not funny.

Or you could go the t00 c00l 4 sk00l route. This involves acting like not only are you the shit here, but you don't care that your the shit here. Then you can point out how awesome you are because you don't care to point out that your awesome.

This is why orange was never popular. Appreciated, but not popular. He just never could turn the douche on like we can.
