Lowtax has made it pretty clear that he is moving GBS from a poo poo posting format back to something a little more coherent. So in honor of that mind set let's discuss some ideas on how to improve this subforum.

I personally think we should go back to a revolving IK for GBS as well as best thread of the week/2 weeks that Gnarly had started a while back. Both of those two things brought life into this heap, and in recent memory I haven't seen GBS as exciting as when those two events were happening. To start, the incentive of avatars and mystery prizes was pretty good, 3 day probation on the user of your choice was even better. Giving us goon lords something to strive for really improved the quality of posting as everyone tried to go for the best rated thread. It naturally cut down on poo poo posting OPs and low effort threads. In contrast, the IKs were fun for obvious fun reasons that are the opposite of coherency. Or maybe even combine the two and the previous weeks winner of best thread can be IK for the current week.

Yes I know QCS exists but lol who really reads that.

agreed, but you should post this in qcs too

It'll be the same as before, but people will think it's better because of rose tinted glasses and overall happiness will increase.

There, solved that without actually having to do anything.

Seems there's humor all over SA and no one forum has a monopoly on it. They all equally suck and/or are equally entertaining. Even the educational ones. Not a one of them hits constant comedy. And there's no such thing as a posting superstar you nerdy shitlords.

I'm not normally one to complain, and I hesitate to do so about this fine Something Awful forum. I do have one thing that I feel quite strongly about, though; the new background for this Rowdy Trout section is not pleasing for me. I would prefer one that is more generic, and less cartoonish. Thanks for reading this, Mr. Lowtax.

If I were a mod, I'd start probating people for saying "cool and good", "good and cool" or any other similar statement. I'd rather see a post that was nothing but a wall of text with only the word "cuck".
