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.

Really, all you need to do to be popular is follow the forum code of conduct; don't be a jerk, compose relevant, on-topic posts, and remember the fact that you have no rights. I would also like to point out that your fourth step should be discounted, because, in your [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76444004&postRepeater1-p=1]previous thread[/url] pertaining to this topic, you implied, both to [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76444004&postRepeater1-p=8]myself[/url], and presumably others, that everyone, yet at the same time, no one, is a phony, yet stated that only the majority of the forum-goers are phonies, leaving a minority as "legitimates," shall we say.

You know, if we all followed this advice and all became popular, then no one would be popular >:(

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] darthnilhilus97 Stopped reading there. I'd rather not have to squint in order to read the hieroglyphic-esque fonts and terrible color choices that many use.[/quote] Atrocious Coups can be blocked easily. Coup users are, generally, very good about making their text fully readable. If there are problems, I either tell that person, or block them (Depending on the circumstances). And few people use any sort of strange font on their Coups. The only difficult-to-read font available for use (I think there are only like, five, in total) is Impact, and almost nobody uses it. And you can block [i]specific[/i] aspects of a persons coup, text font included.

Thanks OP! Now I shall gain all the popularity!
