Your sarcasm is not needed here.

ITT: Phonies

I agree; there are a good amount in here.
You are one of them.

Everyone says that, but they never explain why. I guess they lack the intelligence to actually follow through with their accusation.

When I claim that someone is a phony, I tell why.

And he doesn't answer. Typical.

Step 10 - make a terrible thread about how to be popular and then bump it incessantly so random posters can fill the void in your heart left your family disowning you.

A lot of people really need to look up the definition of "bump".

Seriously.

Seriously.

Explain to me how what you did this morning is not a bump.

Let's say that a bump is a post who's purpose is to bring a thread to the top of the Flood as opposed to actually contribute to the discussion.

Your first reply this morning was a reply to a person who did not even really say anything. He simply quoted another user. Your reply that his sarcasm was not needed.

That's pretty much a bump right there since you didn't contribute anything to the post. But I will give you a pass on that.

After your first borderline bump, no one replied. It was a failed bump. So now you come in 20 minutes later to make a worthless post. Your second post in this thread was you quoting yourself. You quoted yourself to show how little people care about this thread because they didn't bother to come back and look for your responses to their claim.

That's not contributing. That doesn't create discussion. It's a call for attention and a blatant bump.

Rather than addressing people from your high horse about looking up definitions and people lacking intelligence, why don't you try some self reflective analysis of this terrible thread.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Why would I need this when I'm already Bnet famous?

There was a time when I cared about popularity on here, or at least memrability but then I realised how intertwined with contreversiry it is. I mean really, it always seems to stem from some negative interaction or an unbridled see of hate.

But yee, now I just post from my phone on rare occasions and read the less commonly posted or predicable threads.

Boo.
annnnddd no.

Also, make sure to add constant news threads on the game the Flood is currently hating (ex. A 3 Legged Goat)

See, there's two things that are needed for a bump.

1.) The thread has to be dead
2.) It must not create any discussion.

This morning, the thread was not dead. So it wasn't a bump.

It can be one or the other. It doesn't have to be both. You're thread was off the first three pages for a few days, it was long dead. If you want me to really be a dick I can also say that because it was off even the top page there was no discussion going on. You posted to bring it back up. That's necrobumping and is against the rules.

If updating a thread with new information is bumping it, then way more people on the Flood than me are guilty of it.

I am the Core. And I am not pleased.

Why should I listen to a well known FGTs alt? I mean seriously?!

What information? You're not popular. What experience do you possibly have to bring to the table? You're only a month old.

I added three more steps. Whether or not you think this guide is useful is irrelevant.

  • 12.29.2012 9:05 AM PDT

It's not useful at all. You literally told people to break the rules. The mods aren't going to keep a rule breaking thread because it's funny. You're giving horrible advice.

Once again, I appreciate your input on the guide itself, but that's not what we're discussing here.
