43. Right about something that happened that you read on an obscure news site, and do not under any constancies include a link to the website you read it on, until at least 5 people have reminded you.
101 ways to make a Hot Thread (Humor)
- Thread starter Soviet Heavy
- Start date
45. Quote people and see if they return the answer. Milk them for posts with arbitrary talk. The later you know it, you've got - 5 more posts in the thread! *GASP!*
46. Include "could care less" in your thread title, and people will pour in to correct you. Like me. It's "couldn't care less" dammit!Soviet Heavy said:
47. Tell a vague story and leave out an important detail until about half the first page is filled. You'll get lots of people asking you for that detail because they couldn't be bothered to read even the entire first page of the thread. Example, talk about how you beat up your friend and you want to know who the dick is, and don't mention that he started the fight until about post 16 or so. You'll get a bunch of people who don't read the entire thread before posting telling you they need to know who started the fight before they can give an opinion.
48. Do the above, but also add the details people wanted to the OP via an edit to the very bottom of it. Be sure to mark it as an edit. You'll still be asked for those details from people who didn't even bother reading the entire OP. And as a bonus, you'll get people who don't pick up on the fact that you edited your post quoting the original people who asked for details when they weren't there and asking them "Are you blind, that's in the OP already?". And then you get those people who were quoted coming back to respond to the person who called them blind to say "You dolt, he edited his post after I wrote that. And you call me blind?!" Bam, three sources of free posts.
48. Create a "why all the hate on... " thread
49. Find a game with several other threads about it already up and make another. Ride the popularity train!

53. If noone replies to your thread in 5 seconds, post another comment saying "Seriously, Noone?" or something to that effect
Mention halo (xbox exclusive), or killzone (ps3 exclusive), either one of those makes a few people think you're a total fanboy of that system, and will argue that an exclusive on the other console is better. then there will be the people who agree with you, and lastly, the people who come in to say it worth arguing about
58. Create an anime flamebait thread. Nothing gets people's hackles up quicker than haters demanding to know why someone likes something they don't.
59. As an opposite to #23, mention an immoral Bible verse, and watch the Christians pour in to explain to you that when god said rape the babies, he didn't really mean rape the babies, he meant give candy to the babies.
60. Make a thread where you question if video games are art.

61. In a thread asking if comedy is high art, respond that all comedies are about people getting high and falling over, and when people are friendly and try to recommend a comedy, you start a huge fight with them that completely derails the thread, goes on for two pages and results in the thread being locked. (This happened once)
62) Talk about WoW. Fanboys will come in to wax romantic and haters will come in to call the fanboys cheeto-eating basement dwellers. (I play WoW, don't flame me...) It works every time.
Bonus points if you QQ about how hard Heroics/Raids are and how you're a Wrath Baby.

(insert number here) Talk about some of the most hated popular games here. (Halo, CoD, FF, Wow, anything Nintendo)
Haters will swarm the thread for an excuse to hate, and fanboys will defend endlessly. You know you did well when you read arguments that last several pages.
