It's impossible to become a GBS superstar. There are too many posters so I have begun looking for another place to become a superstar and I have set my eyes on Pet Island. Writing this, GBS has 715 viewers logged in and the odds of shouting over the crowd and stand out, are very slim indeed. Compare that to Pet Island, which has a respectable 25 posters talking about their pets right now, you do not need to be a math wiz to figure out that chances of becoming a superstar, with your posts, there, are much higher.

Ideas for how to become a beloved Pet Island regular/superstar:

1. Make a thread about my cat, with a huge picture of its rear end in a top hat and some text talking about how this is the way my cat wakes me up. By showing me that. Ha Ha! GBS may scoff, but Those PI regulars can relate to that. They also wake up by getting cat anus and cat feces in their heads, so that is funny to them. It's all part of the pet experience, which is what Pte Island is all about.

2. Coin a Pet Island-themed meme, such as "My Iguana is right", with a picture of an Iguana that says something that is clearly not wrong (e.g. the iguana could say something racist but nice, like asians are smart, which is right)

3: mtuahfucking dog sigs, bitches!!!

4: Start an [ask] thread in ask/tell, where you answer all the questions as if you are a horse, at some point the thread will become popular in Pet Island, as horses can also be pets. Then, at some point, you reveal that you are not a horse, and while the ASK-tell people will hate you for being a troll, the PI-people will grudginly respect your dedication to the horse, and your detailed knowledge of horse psychology that allowed you to keep up the illusion of being horse.

5: in extension of 4, once the horse meme is established, you can begin replying to threads with the catchphrase "I'm hay".

Ha ha! Now we are cooking! what else could one do, to become a superstar of Pet Island - the place for goons who want to discuss their pets??!

Document how you're building a pipe bomb to finally punish those evil pure-breed dog breeders. Build extensive maps of their houses and security systems.

One of my favorite stories ever is when a bunch of animal activists tried to release the mink from a mink farm and the mink attacked them.

Post relentlessly and continuously about your cockfighting roosters, if anyone else mentions owning a pet talk about how they're an idiot who's owning pets wrong and somehow by the second sentence work the pure backwoods meth-shack lineage of your star fighting cock in there, post about how they're the true noble breed of chicken and commie liberals these days are ruining birds by not making them fight to the death for money, two years in post an update about how your prize cock poked your eye out when you were fitting it with a razor spur so you had them all killed

Own like 50 animals, just straight up Hoarders quantities of animals, and accuse new posters of abuse if they don't quit their jobs so they can walk their dog every two hours on the hour. Encourage the dozen other, similar posters to do same, until there are 90 posts of yours for every one of the interloper's.

When you say that we should "own" the animals, do you mean with sick burns and memes, GBS style, or as in keep them as our property, as white people were wont to do with black people earlier?'

Edit: because I think I can buy 50 cats but I can't possibly find the time to bring the "ownage" to them.

you own the cats by joining the local cat rescue which doesn't let anyone actually adopt animals and you pwn the cats by keeping them all trapped in a tiny apartment with a crazy lady from the internet

Sorry to double post, but also it would be possible to take some really niche animal and write and exhaustively researched guide to every aspect of having them.

"This is my isopod megathread!" for example.

Did you know that isopods are both cuprophages and coprophages? Well, you do now!
