This is a handy guide on how to act like a n00b in the OT forum (don't worry veterans do these probably more than newbs)

If somebody makes a topic asking about anime and you don't like anime you have to post that you don't like anime even though it has nothing to do with the topic.  The same rule applies for rap, and just about any other genre.

Have an insane standard of beauty.  Find any reason you can to call any actresses, models, and musicians ugly.  Other posters won't think you're gay for not being attracted to women, but think you can get even hotter chicks cause you're uber cool.

Alway use the defense of "opinions" no matter how weak or illogical your argument is.  If somebody posts 20 reasons why they think the world is round, all you need to do is post "that's your opinion, I think the world is flat" and you're on equal ground.

If somebody views something differently than you they are automatically stupider, younger, or don't have near as much experience as you one the subject.

If somebody makes a topic and you think of a  better related topic, it's fine to make a whole new thread for it.

Everybody needs to hear about your musical tastes.

Post something you think is serious and then get really mad when sombody doesn't take it seriously.

Be a grammer nazi so what if you can understand there post being understood isn't as important as good grammer. (I made the errors in this sentense on purpose.)

dont bother fixing typos usin anytype of punctuasion even stoppping sentense making sense just runon and one and get a nice textwall goin causeyour sentnce wont have ot make cnets to anybody else peeps can figare outwhat you mean anywas.

Report people just because you don't like them, or their post.

Can anybody think of some more?

Great list, since nobody else wrote some new ones I feel obligated to post some myself>_> -Always Start A Word With Caps, Otherwise People Can't Read What You Have To Say. -You feel obligated to write a topic in OT about your long day in the mall instead of making a blog post about it. -You don't see the need to give a topic a more descriptive title than "HELP ME!" -Take every post you see from a vet as a personal insult. -Repost all the popular topics you saw in OT last week... every week.

This one is the main reason I can't stand arguing with kids on these forums.  "This is just my opinion.  Don't get mad at me or flame me for my opinion."  Well then don't tell us your opinion if you don't want to talk about why you feel that way!

Scarlett Johanson is fugly, ditto Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen and any other fake, airbrushed so-called beauties.  Call me when you think of someone who's even pretty.

Battlecruiser 3000 AD is "crap" in your opinion.  To literally dozens of people, including the developers, this was the highest form of video game art ever.

Screw this, I'm gonna go make my own n00b guide.

If you guys don't listen to Scandinavian black metal, you're obviously losers.  Also, emo will never die, even though it appears to be 90% dead by now.  Posers.

Those Nintendo guys from the Wii commercials stopped by to "play," which really meant shaving my girlfriend's head and raping my dogs.  :D  Did I just see a smiley face?!111!!?!!11!  You guys make me sick.
Be a grammer nazi so what if you can understand there post being understood isn't as important as good grammer. (I made the errors in this sentense on purpose.)jrhawk42
Grammar IS more important than your latest message about Mass Effect.

good list, I thought of a few more.

If you use a big font people will think it's important.


Don't bother reading all the post before you, there's no way they would say the same thing as you. want to say.

[QUOTE="jrhawk42"][QUOTE="jrhawk42"][QUOTE="jrhawk42"][QUOTE="jrhawk42"][QUOTE="jrhawk42"]Font trees rule
jrhawk42
I know they are soo awesome

yea the bigger the better

yea I agree don't bother trimming them down

yea I love single posts that take up an entire page

Its actually really freakin annoying.

STFU newb quote trees rule.

Never bother using the link tags for external web sites, it's not that hard to open a new browser, copy the url, and paste it into the new browser. It's so easy I don't understand why websites link anything at all we can just copy and paste urls for everything.

-Tell everyone about the girl that looked at you one time in school and how you want advice on what to do.
-Create a topic about the popularity of users on OT so we can all get elitist.
-Ensure you create the largest quote chains possible so everyone else gets confused and has a really small scroll bar.

On the topic of being a grammar nazi - I may come under that every now and then - yet any correction I may make is not for a typo or even for some spelling - it's only when people can't grasp the concept of making a sentence that I may say something.
