What makes you so special?

Sign in to disble this ad
What are the requirements of being a "known poster" on TB? I mean, I heaar jokes about Username, Toasted, Mark Wilson, etc. every day on TB. Not that I really care, but I just wondered what it takes to be special.

Because I wanna be special! TB needs a short bus.

Kind of a rant, but I have always wondered this. And N/A, bask in the glory of being called "special".

Okay, Sir Username, what does it take to be awesome? I make my fair share of quirky jokes, ignorant humor, and pick on the new kids. Why must N/A be so grrreat.

Oh, and Santucci too. Add em to the list.

You want a tip? Get a memorable avatar first, and then just be friendly.

But whatever you do don't get an avatar of Richard Simmons because everyone will think you look just like Richard Simmons. I speak from experience.

Or exteremly sarcastic. Case in point: Munjibunga, who everyone may have forgotten as he seems to have dumped his avatar.

Try stalking the qintar and agreeing with everything everyone says.

That should do it.

Yeah, that worked so well for what's-his-face-again who ended up being slapped really hard with the modstick into the banned territory.

If you have 20% or more of the number of posts Lindquist has, you are on your way. If you don't know who Lindquist is, you are not.

He didn't get banned, he left because everybody made fun of him.

Good point.

Here are some alternative strategies:

1) Lose the pride, post a ridiculous amount and develop a fixation with asian women

2) Avoid posting anything relevant or helpful. If fact, you should forgo reading the OP entirely for any thread in which you intend to post. If possible, post nothing but lolcats anf fail pics.

3) Become a grumpy and embittered old man. Rant about how everything in the world today is evil and should be made illegal because you don't like it.

4) Make up stories about your life and playing. Post slight variations of these stories to different internet forums. Start a post about the latest improbable catastrophy that has occurred in your trainwreck of a life.

5) Start threads that will quickly become derailed and locked. Once a thread is locked, start another.

These are just a few ideas but I'm sure a recipe for success can be found in there somewhere.
