I’ll be honest, we don’t see a lot of worthwhile content anymore. Posts that users spent time or effort on. The only content I see that takes more than two seconds of brainpower are the RPs, which I personally don’t jive with, and half of them are copying Blaze’s Bar. We get repeat after repeat of old material. I repeat material all the time. Every post of mine is an injury or an animal bugging me, and I’m sick of it. Unfortunately for me, I never cease to create problems for myself and I love to complain, so if I can make it a lil funny, I’m gonna post it.
So here’s the challenge: whip out your notes app and write a gotdam post. It could take you only a second, but it can be anything you like. It’s funny, its intriguing, it’s thought provoking, it’s open to interpretation, it welcomes outside participation. Whatever you like, but for the love of all things holy, do not write “Just ate at Chick-fil-a AMA” and I realize by saying this, likely more than one of you will write that exact post in an attempt at humor. Sure, go ahead, but you smell bad and your mom likes the dog more than you. I see why girls don’t look at you, except with a contemptuous glare
Second step: don’t fawking post it. Sit on it. Open the note every few hours and ask yourself “is this post kinda worth it?” Edit the post, change it up. Make it funnier, make it longer, fill it with words normal people don’t use. Take 3 days until you post. If by the end of that, you genuinely cannot come up with something that you deem “quality” then this exercise should be a real eye-opener. I am not suggesting you do this every time you want to write a post, but it just might entertain you and others a little more than posting “My thoughts of Book of Boba Fett episode 7: it was good I really liked it”
If you do this, tag it #kwality. I promise I’ll read it, maybe I’ll enjoy it. Creativity is dying and I know you’re capable of more. Trust me when I say everyone has more fun when you contribute something better.

1 ReplyEdited by Twin Inferno: 2/17/2022 1:12:06 AMMoving forward I’ll start putting some work in my posts. Honestly, you know there’s a drought in quality when [b]A.[/b] the trending posts from one-to-two weeks ago are still on the trending page. And [b]B.[/b] when (no offense to the ppl that do this) when posts that are just dots or updates on the weather get 5+ upvotes. I think the real quality are the responses but making a “Kwakity” post is hard, but I think that’s why they should be good. I hate it when it’s just the lazy route. I mean I’m not saying everyone should make just 6 paragraph pages but give some form of writing that shows there was some original thought put into it. Too much of something is not good, and in this case there’s too much spam.

[quote]copying Blaze's Bar[/quote] haha i feel attacked and aside from that, I do try to make my posts a little more intelligent than "game bad lmao" , or something, and I've been thinking about an Offtopic DnD session, though God knows how that'd go. Anyways, I'll do as you say, but since I have stuff to talk about and severe addiction to funny number on bell, it may be hard to wait all 3 days.

31 RepliesMeh. I like talking game design, recommending games, and writing stories. There are very few people left here to have a good game design discussion with, everyone’s boring and won’t try new games, and all my writing time is going to fixing up my book. So bleh.

2 RepliesEdited by Unseelie2427: 2/16/2022 12:54:38 AMI think I'm just gonna drop rp all together and stick to writing stories about an ancient vampire necromancer getting bullied by short people and the voices in her head. I'm having fun writing it and I don't hate it after the fact, which are two things I've been struggling with the past few years.

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 2/16/2022 4:47:58 AM[quote]and half of them are copying Blaze’s Bar. [/quote] Ouch, but fair point. I actually do this most of the time, I just don’t ever really like what I write. I am sure I have many Offtopic posts in my notes, along with so many weird things out of context. Looking for old posts might be fun.

Edited by DarkEraser: 2/16/2022 2:02:42 AMWeeeelllll, I guess I've been doing this challenge ever since 2019. There are my stories, that I take about 2 weeks to post an episode, and I don't even mess with RPs, at least not as much.
