Garem's guide to Flood popularity (Updated again)
Hello, everyone. If you've been here as long as I have, you'll notice that a lot of people take popularity on here as a big deal. Now, you're probably wondering, "Well, yeah. I love being popular. But how can I get it?" Just follow these steps, and you'll be instacool:
Step One: Get coup.
[i]Bnet's default avatars are dull, and everyone uses them. Coup will make you stand out. If you don't use coup, at least use a lesser-known avatar.[/i]
Step Two: Post often.
[i]This should be obvious.[/i]
Step Three: Break the rules every now and then.
[i]The most memorable threads are threads that aren't in line with Bnet's rules. You'll have to break the rules creatively, though.[/i]
Step Four: Don't be a phony.
[i]Mostly everyone on here is one. Not being one will make you stand out.[/i]
Step Five: Have outrageous opinions.
[i]This is a must.[/i]
Step Six: Don't use memes.
[i]Seriously.[/i]
Step Seven: Claim to be a girl
[i]Most Floodians are antisocial. They enjoy communicating with females online to compensate.[/i]
Step Eight: Spam "do you recognize the user above you" threads.
[i]Anyone who says "no" will recognize you afterward.[/i]
Step Nine: Have a memorable username.
[i]A name like "iFarted69" or "FeliciaSucksBlackShaft" is going to get you more attention than "Ron5567" or "HALOFREAK"[/i]
That's all there is to it. Have a suggestion for another step? Post it in this thread.

Why listen to someone that is not popular like you? MLG is better than you.

Some of the examples in Cloxverto's thread in The Community which had the funniest threads were fantastic. I have nothing against the newer generation of Flood members. But how they achieve their popularity is based upon jimmy rustling, not genuinely, thought out, funny threads.[/quote] Ok lets just say there we're [b]way better quality threads[/b] back in the day.

Hot topics are noobified.[/quote]yeah hot topics are so mainstream, maaaaaaan[/quote] No no, he is saying there is no skill gap. And after Zanzibar, the skill gap has decreased. All these newer members come in, toting their terrible ideas of popularity, and being credited the same as the truly wiser, more superior parody thread creators of the past. And I agree with that. There simply needs to be a larger skill gap between the two groups in order to properly distinguish the lesser skilled thread makers from the truly talented ones.[/quote]um did you just take me seriously
