... that I was about to make a post that could be summed up as 'be more like Huinesoron, I'm awesome'. Because I am nothing if not puffed-up. So I didn't do that.

Then I decided to do it anyway, because now it's ironic.

Be More Huinesoron: A PPCer's Guide

-Never post a sentence when you can post three paragraphs.

-If you read a thread, reply to it - even if you don't have a clue what's going on.

-Everything is better with bullet points.

-Don't choose between linking, quoting, and summarising - do all three!

-Remember your past. Forever. And refer to it constantly.

-They call it a trailer - you call it an excuse for madcap theorising.

-Tomash is not to be agreed with (even if you agree with him). He stole Ozerbord, and Plort Is Life.

-Speaking of which, Plort Is Life. Never trust anyone who slights Baron Huinesoron.

-Disagreement just means you haven't used enough words yet.

-Periodically concoct grand plans to revitalise the Board. Abandon them before they have a chance to work properly.

-Never get over anything.

-A picture is worth a thousand words. That means a picture plus a thousand words is worth... more.

-Chatrooms are out to get you. Brood on it.

-You don't have to post stories often, but when you do, end them with a promise of a sequel. Actual sequel is optional.

-If you read it, review it.

-Never be afraid to learn too much about something new and then bore everyone with it.

-Always sound like you'll bite people's ears off if they disagree with you (even though you won't).

-Refuse to accept any kind of authority. Just post like you have it anyway.

-If you don't know, ask. Then ask some more. Never stop asking.

-50% of your posts will get no reply, 20% will receive only one-liners, 10% will be completely misconstrued, and 10% will spark discussion that peters out immediately. But the last, golden 10%... live for that. It will be better than you can possibly imagine.

(Now I've got that off my chest... yes, at some point I will contribute something of substance to the thread!)
