The new GBS rule is, everyone to make 5 threads every day. The threads can't just be spam text in the subject and message fields, you have to try to make them interesting or funny. Addendum: WHy is there nearly 20,000 posts in the post ms paint webcomics and point at them and tut and wonder about why someone who couldnt draw well for 999 comics is still drawing bad in their 1000th comic. How can that still be interesting to talk about.

ADMIN EDIT: if you have an idea for a thread that doesn't belong in GBS, don't post it in GBS. If you don't have interesting or funny ideas for threads, don't post them at all.

g0m edit: Actually do. Post the threads anyway

yeah actually they will fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Oct 14, 2014

You just posted and identified yourself to me as someone who will probably not follow the rule, putting yourself full on my radar.

If I derail a thread and, for example, start talking about Australian beer vs American beer in this thread, will I get partial credit?

Well, in that case, I'm not tipping my waiter because it's the restaurant's job to pay them a fair wage, 0.999recurring does NOT equal 0, and a plane on a treadmill will fall on its back and everyone will die.
