I'd like to thank g0m for involving me in this experiment of chaos. I think it will benefit GBS and here's why:

*More threads means more diverse subjects to get into
*One guy (a random sample) was noted, in Franco's allahu akhbar killer thread who empyquoted that phrase like HUNDREDS of others, ... 1st post he EVER made in 5 yrs. New GBS is involving everyone
*People who have been too shy to ever create a thread have created them now
*It has brought in people from other forums, and Nite Crew instead of dying there, has grown with new interactions from byob regulars
*As for the task of creating 5 threads a day, maybe 4 out of 5 will get no replies but it is teaching us how to better ourselves and also is valuable market research. In fact, before there were 169 pages in GBS an "Im gay" thread would have run three pages. Seen any of them about recently with any replies?
*Good idea shifting some megathreads to BYOB. Not that they were doing any harm here in GBS but the new paradigm has encouraged even Nite Crew members to post threads

Question for the OP: If I make 5 threads today, and then never post in GBS again, can I be exempt from the 5 thread challenge for as long as the rule exists?

Tried to post a cool thread earlier and got autobanned for it. I never would have came back but my city has ebola now :supaburn: and I need the support of my posting bros now more than ever. Prob going to sit the day out of making threads and read the rules a lot, so as not to have to outlay money here ever again. I'll try to get back to OPing tomorrow, deal?

So we've heard a lot about the people who fail to post their five threads being "punished." but as there are dozens of goons still lurking, I find it difficult to believe that each and every one of them will face some kind of probation or ban. It would be a pain in the butt to track down and verify so many people.
But g0m assures us the punishment is real, so that got me thinking:
What if the "punishment" is to miss out on some kind of reward? Like, those of us who were good and posted our five daily threads all win something nice, and the others are punished by the envy they feel as those of us who participated enjoy our boon?
