    You are quite welcome! I'm glad that I could be of service. :smile:
    Not anymore. This thread needs an update for sure. I've learned quite a bit of useful skills since I've been gone!

    So you're saying trolling is a bad idea...
    @see 4chan.

    It's built on trolling and it works perfectly fine. Arguably better.

    The reason trolling works on 4chan is because everyone there is a troll, so they have made a mutual agreement with each other. Either that or they are a "new*squee!*".

    The secret to not being a new*squee!* is to not care about being a new*squee!*. Only new*squee!*s call people new*squee!*s. Also yes. Everyone there is a troll. This is the problem here. We need more trolls.

    I'll just add my two cents.

    POSTS ARE GOOD.

    THREAD ABANDONMENT IS BAD.

    Not everypony can take on a fully-grown internet troll and live to tell the tale.

    Not necessarily. If you add trolls to this site, you couldn't take it seriously. 4chan thrives because it is full of random stuff that isn't taken seriously. The point in this site is to make friends/aquaintances. You can't do that if there's a troll lurking on every corner.

    Wait, Dansze derailed this thread and I went along with it. I'm an idiot.

    Alright, I cleaned it up a bit and stated several things better as well as added a GCT section.

    Remember, these are not rules! They simply help you to enjoy the community. :smile:

    Also, that was completely on topic. Trolling makes you post better. Consider that I, after becoming a troll, began to use perfect grammar. Consider also that most people do not.

    Consider also that I am stating my opinion: Trolls would make this site better. This is a thread dedicated to teaching people how to post better. I am, thus, telling people to troll more, and thus post better.

    Also, consider that most of the users with high post counts who are not admins agree with this view.

    Then of course there are people like me just don't really care what you have to say at times. Thus we just wind up ignoring you.

    Sure are doing a great job ignoring me, reading my posts and responding.

    Besides, our domains don't intersect. Or rather, their intersection is the null set.

    Or rather I just love ignoring you in my own way I never said I was going to do it via not reading and or responding to your posts.

    Ignoring implies that you neither read nor reply to my post. In fact, it implies that you don't acknowledge their existence.

    What you're saying is you like to disagree with my point of view.

    Which you are doing right now.

    Ahhh but what if I state that I am ignoring your point of view but do not care what you have to saw on the matter and or what your views on it are and that I still wish to converse in this manner while still ignoring it at the same time.

    Most. It is a word that is present in that sentence.

    In this case, most is supposed to denote the remaining non-mod original forum-goers.

    Then you are contradicting yourself. Conversing about something cancels the action of ignoring, if only for the duration of the conversations. You can not breathe and drink at the same time. Same here. You can TRY, but you will not succeed at either.
