I peer reviewed your weak rear end code and fixed the bugs that would allow $poster to live and continue posting despite being deemed unfunny by the system. someone install this patch into the forums software immediately and we might just be able to turn this ship!

code:
if(post == funny){
echo "post";
}else{
$poster = null;
die();
}

We both forgot a dollar sign. This will break the forums. Also we should probably set $post to NULL instead of $poster. We want them to not make a post and then die.

I want to be good, but I'm too scared to post because of self confidence. I've never posted a good post, but I've fake written a lot of them by going into a popular thread, memorizing the contents and rewriting it out into a new thread, but instead of clicking submit post or new thread, I close my browser and pretend I posted it originally. Sometimes I dream of making th egood post and I wake up excited and happy to read all the comments on my good thread I made the night before, so I login and go to my post history and see that it's empty and that I never made it, then I'm sad and mopey the rest of the day.

You don't get better. You peak the day you join the forums and then it's all down hill from there.

just post when you feel like it op. a little post here, a little there and then if anyone busts your balls it was never a big deal anyway.

in other words go post in byob (don't actually do this, i heard posts there don't add to your post count)

also make good use of emotes and know which emotes to use so you look like you fit in. here's a test so you can practice:

which one of the following emotes is NOT a popular emote?

a) :chanpop: b):commissar: c) :vince: d) :allears:

post what you like, but have it stay around a general "theme" or gimmick

this will make you a bland white noise poster or even a good white noise poster if you have a good gimmick

You need 10,000 posts before you can finally be a master at it. The faster you type "I'm Gay" and hit reply to reach that milestone the quicker you'll get forums cred.
