The idea for this came from Omen's (not originally, of course, it has been done milliards of times) topic of a similar title. I noticed that, even though the ground rules of a polite responce had been layed down, the FIRST responce was contrary to this.
But let's face it, that topic was boring. All the niceties are vomit inducing - seriously, I thought the make-up of this forum was mostly men, it was as if I'd stepped into a Hippy Love Camp™, full of flowers, femininity and worst of all, hippies. The worst of it is, that is the most active topic on the board at this time. Pathetic. But here is the solution - something to really spice things up around here:
Say something about the user above you that you've REALLY wanted to say for a long time. Please, keep the teenage girl pleasantries to the other topic, this is for men and aggression - show some testosterone will you?
Here's a tip on flaming - you WILL lose in this topic unless you are both witty and accurate. Calling someone a "f**king moron" is poor and unimaginative. So is stringing on another couple of swear words. Anything about someone else's mother is just playground stuff. I want wounds, here. 'Gay' is not an insult in any contest, so don't take my Hippy Gay Pride™ comment too seriously. And as for 1337 speak, which seems to occur in every single last topic seen on these boards MUST be avoided. Keep your H4X0|2 skills to instant messengers, please. One line flames are often weak and therefore useless - for this topic to be effective you MUST cause offense - but remember, it's all in good fun.
I envision replies such as "this is stupid/counter productive" or "lock this!" - this is no more than spam and off topic. If this topic annoys you, feel free to flame me in it.
Marvellous.
