How to be a successful Forum Member!

[Kazillo]

Now I know I am not Vystirch or Samhayne when it comes to forums success and reputation but from what I've seen, there are some ways of getting a little but more well known. Ways to get your forum posts more views. Now this isn't going to boost your reputation or anything in an instant but it will help you and forums posts get more well known.

My strategy is to come up with a subject or topic that people want to express their opinions about or want to hear other members opinions on. Something that will get people attention! It also must be something original.

Sorry I've run out of time to finish this thread right now.

Being loud and posting in every thread doesn't make you a successful forum member.

No it doesn't, being helpful is the main thing, I have avoided the CTF/PVP section for a long time because it is such a hard place to state an opinion....

Make hundreds/thousands of guides

Make hundreds/thousands of guides

Or just one and farm the heck out of it.

[itsmagic]

Or get married on the forum.
U will become a celeb!

[Kazillo]

Get involved with major threads and be involved with the forums in general.

I'll take your guy's advice.:)

Cause your rep is so bad you could need some advice.

Hmmmm, wonder where that idea came from?.....

Make sure you respect other people's beliefs but state your own.

Good idea to hold back for awhile and make a plan.

The best tip for being a successful forum member is just being yourself. And just be smart. Post when you have something you feel is worth sharing. Don't post if you don't. If your post is going to tear someone down, don't post. If your post is humorous, be sure it's the right thread. Some people don't want humor on their thread, just serious discussion. Others don't mind. A little common sense and respect goes a long way. Lastly, forget about being a successful member! What is success anyways? A high rep bar? I don't think so. Everyone I know with a high rep bar wishes rep could be removed.

In other words, just use the brain God gave you, and treat everyone as you want to be treated, as God commanded. :)

Looking for success in foruming is the first step to being "unsuccessful". Dont be a ridiculously geeky, kind guy whos equipping a facade to get rep points, be yourself is my advice to being a "recognised" forumer.

[Mysticaleagle]

This.

In any case, like most of the people said here, just be yourself. Don't try to be someone else. I mean, like in real life..

Just saw this post. Didn't take the time to read the whole thread, but I stand still on this one. This post, is what WILL make you a ''good'' forum member.

Reputation bars? Thanks? Nah.

Tilax, I have absolutely nothing against you, but creating multiple forum accounts to 'thank' yourself, won't help you to have success either good reputation here. Reputation bars doesn't mean anything, neither 'thanks'.

[Jessicazx]

Dooble post. My bad.

[Jessicazx]

Or get married on the forum.


Hahaha! <3

Go in game and look at the names on the leaderboards. Then use one of those names as your forum name.

I disagree with that if you were serious. :/

[nicoB]

How surreal, in real life I actually am a 10 foot tall warrior who walks around slaying my enemies with a humungous 6 foot sword and I make Arnold Schwarzenegger (when he was as his prime in the 80s) look like a small boy wearing a He-Man costume.


:D
