just put less value into something and expect a higher price. ignore anything said in a conversation if you can't stand the person saying it. use slang language and thought whenever possible. try to ape other popular people to be different.

Originally posted by hopscotchMy deductions: Several of the threads died rather quickly, so it appears that the low number of on-topic replies in many of Grampy's threads isn't due to personal feelings towards the creator of the threads, but due to lack of interest in the topics or the way they are presented. Unlike Grampy's threads, trev's threads didn't get filled with lots of troll food. This is unsurprising because trev hadn't already posted hundreds of such threads, and he didn't bump those that were about to die. I am too lazy to go back to Grampy's first posts, but I think people gave him the benefit of the doubt back then, too. I know I did.
What are your deductions?

First lesson I've finally learned is that the socks go in the sock drawer. Noobies, be not afraid.

a few weeks ago gb created a few threads which i posted... just to see the creation a gb thread would get under a different users name.
these are the threads -
26 ways - Thread 126658 - stay on topic and went past the first 26 into a new set.
100 reasons - Thread 126673 - stayed on topic for about 10 posts then died.
...[text shortened]... it and it struggles to 15 posts but stays on the forum.
i believe that's all of them.
I mean using the rule of Phlab, I vs. the forum isn't correct. 😕
Originally posted by trev33if you really want to provoke the same response Gramps gets, you'll need a protracted history of clogging page one with six or seven threads at a time, tireless self-promotion, a bottomless well of self-pity, unending snide shots at other posters, a willingness to engage in smarmy cozying up to anyone who offers even the slightless semblance of support, and of course an insatiable desire to appear intelligent and learned when the opposite is patently true.

a sudden burst of drivel-filled threads when you have a good track record won't cut the mustard alone. also, it would help if you used weird "i don't really get human communication" phrases like "sustained no-blink eyelock", and spent so many hours here it was clear you didn't have a life outside RHP.
good luck with that.
