Having posted many a message that no one responds to, I thought Id share with you my theories on how to get guarunteed responses:

1.Get Yourself Banned
This is pretty much guarunteed to make you seem like a rebel, then you can sign up under another name and complain about your previous username being banned, and campaigning to get them allowed back on, then once your old name is back on your guarunteed to have people respond to you, after all, your the rebel who beat the system.

2.Make Fun Of Midgets
Just look at all the Gary Coleman Posts currently on the board, after all who cant laugh at a debilitating handicap - oh my god he looks younger and shorter than he should be - HOW FUNNY IS THAT!

3.Start A Longest Ever Thread
After all, long threads rule, even if they contain nothing but drivel.

4.Have a Title that has nothing to do with your topic.
This will at least mean that people will shout at you - GREAT!

5.Insult Nintendo
Nintendoids hate this - dont know why.

6. Insult Sega
Sega Fans hate this

7.Support Microsoft
Everyone will hate you - and many will call for you to be deemed insane.

8.Write Episode 2 spoilers in topics that have nothing to do with it.
This will annoy so many people - and possibly spoil the film - so many will rspond - it must be done!

9.Make up a news story
Plane Crashes and Shootings are flavour of the month, so make up a news story and people will ask you where you saw it - they maight believe you - THE FOOLS!

10.Come up with a stupid 10 Ways To list
These are only for the seriously desperate, and should only be turned to as a last resort. They take no intellegence to produce and can be knocked up in minutes with minimum effort.
