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

I... I don't think this is a real rule.
Also way to just tell the whole world you're not cool enough to "get" Webcomics Thread.

If you don't make 5 threads every day you get punished for not following the rule

How will you go about punishing the lurkers who never post such as myself?

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?

No, there's no way I'm going to read the Australian beer vs American beer derail mega thread.

One of my threads was gassed, the other was goldmined. So I think I'm good for a while.

I goldmined it, but someone else moved it back from the goldmine into GBS.

They were moved 3x total, and as per the rules, a thread being moved to another forum counts 5x.

The webcomic mock thread got gassed. Do we have to remake it five times, or remake it once and make it five times better?

If you remake it, please use the good name I came up with.

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

You have my full support IK's until you have meltdowns, then RIP in advance

Cheers but this is a week long thing

g0m, do you have any tips for making good threads? I feel like mine are especially terrible.

Try to think of a thread topic that you can make more than one good post about, and that you think other people can make good posts about too.
