Rule #1: Start a thread about fluff.

Rule #2: Derail serious threads.

Rule #3: Dobies.

Rule #4: Register multiple usernames so that people can have something else to complain about.

What kind of loser would do any of those things?

[Confused]

And the band fluffed on . . . ♪

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Phfft. Dobies.

Other names.

Phfft.

Posted by Saruman (Member # 2275) on :

Rule #5: Post on fluff threads and complain about them. This helps keep them alive.

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

Rule #6: Dobie the anti-dobie threads.

Posted by Rasputin (Member # 5409) on :

Rule # 7: Start a serious thread. After the 4th dobie of it, change your screenname to its reverse spelling. Then start an anti-dobie dobie of your own thread. Then just sit back and watch the sparks fly. [Evil Laugh]

Rule #8: Start a Deathmatch thread.
Rule #9: Create a chatroom specifically to plot more fluff.

Amateurs.

Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :

i fail to see you coming up with anything better. [Taunt]

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

Don't steal the act I stole from Ralphie. Steal your own act.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

I have to wonder if this Dobie isn't better than the original. [Dont Know]

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Darn it, Pat! I figured that thread would eventually be parodied, but I also figured it wouldn't be more popular than the original. --|--

Rule 15: Don't make a dobie that is better than the original. Especially if it's one of T's threads.

Posted by Saruman (Member # 2275) on :

Rule #16: If T_Smith comes up with a rule, ignore it.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

What the frell does that have to do with inefficient fluff?!

Posted by Saruman (Member # 2275) on :

Rule #17: Make up lots of irrelevant rules. This will confuse people, thus making their fluff more inefficient.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

18. The best way to innefficiently fluff is: "pull my finger."

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

I've been thinking that Hatrack has gone downhill. What do you think?

*sigh*

Maybe I'll start a thread about this.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Completely subverted. Yep.

[Hat]

<--Pat Hat?

Posted by Saruman (Member # 2275) on :

I don't know, Icky. I think things are looking up.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Rule #19: Bump threads that aren't worth bumping.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

#20: Post during the bewitching hour when the daylight savings candle gutters out

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Beautiful application of Rule #19, Morbo.
