Just some helpful tips here on how to create popular posts and high traffic threads. Because they still apply . . .
Rule number 1: Pictures! Sure, high definition, well composed and well lit images are nice, though it's not an absolute requirement. It doesn't matter if you use your Polaroid, a 90s flip phone, or whatever, but just include pictures in your post! There's nothing worse than somebody describing something in excruciatingly intimate detail and then not including photos.
Rule number 2: Be pithy. Just get to the damn point, would ya already? Ever read several run on paragraphs worth of type and then wonder, "What the hell is this thread about?" This is 2020, attention spans are short, there's other stuff we could be doing, either crap or get off the pot!
Rule number 3: It bears repeating, pictures!
Rule number 4: Keep it simple. You may think with the wise men, but speak with the everyman. Address topics that are of universal interest and appeal.
Rule number 5: If you could, please upload some files, particularly those with .jpg, or jpeg., or even .gif attached to them. Thanks.
Rule number 6: If you can pull it off, pretend to be suffering from some sort of mental insanity or severe anti-social personality disorder. Heck, some of you may not even need to pretend.
Rule number 7: Those picture things I may have mentioned earlier, it helps if some are of boobs, big ones too. Butts are good as well, though AGF seems to have a very high percentage of boob men.
Rule number 8: If at all possible, post while under the influence of some type of alcoholic spirits, or some other intoxicant/mind altering substance of your choice. It really gets the creative juices flowing while decreasing inhibitions.
Rule number 9: About those picture things, do not ever just leave a link for us to follow. We hate having to leave AGF, even when it's just for a moment to look at pics.
Rule number 10: You know that big thread you've been composing? Never post it on a Thursday. Trust me, just don't.
So there you have it folks. Please disregard the fact that this post has violated rules number 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 . . . and oh, by the way, this is all sort of a joke, kinda. Though seriously, about the pic thing, I mean it, and the boobs too, and whiskey, and Thursday, and . . .
