OT: The OT Thread Part 5: New HF Talk

[soothsayer]

This wasn't relevant to any other topic, but I never realized this sequence started off a super dirty slew foot.

CuJo's gear when he was in Edmonton is legendary.

Condolences to the people Telus has going around door-to-door all winter no matter the temperature but if they show up at my door again I'm hooking up some Home Alone ass traps to my doorbell.

RIP Mark Hollis, dead at 64.

I need some advice. I usually come to HFboards to chat back and forth and over the past six months I find it really hard to get responses other than likes when I'm not in a GDT thread. Can anyone give me some advice on what I can do to get more responses than likes other than blatantly trolling people?

I suggest asking thought provoking questions. (I don't chat much on HF anymore so I don't have a gauge on the tone of the boards.) My best threads are ones that are looking for answers.

Pull a cloned and put a chick up as your avatar. That's really why people respond to him.

I don't think I have changed my avy (Other than playoff aviators[joke intended]) since I registered.

I changed mine once as there was some bet involving horcoff. I think I changed it before the bet was even done as I didn't hate the guy as much as others.

Because they think I’m a girl or because they want to see my avatar more?

And here I thought it was my compelling posting.

Anyone that can hang around here for 16 years must have something important to say....like "When I was a wee lad..."

I remember when I was young, all eager to mod and impress here. The decade of darkness aged me 25 years.

And I would suggest that out of 37000 posts, many of them at least provided a kernel of knowledge or entertainment.

I’ve always thought of my HF career as a career in entertainment.
