I prefer Halsey personally.
You have to stop over-analyzing and ordering around the userbase. That's work we leave up to the moderation and website adminstration teams

Suggestions for Improvement:
- Try adding substance beneath the sarcasm — e.g., instead of “ultimate midwit,” say why something is mid-tier thinking. This makes humor punchier and more persuasive.
- Occasionally show curiosity or genuine insight to contrast the mockery. Irony is sharper when it has moments of sincerity to offset it.
- Avoid posting just to dunk — post to advance the conversation while still being funny.

Suggestions for Improvement:
- Edit yourself before posting. Trim 30–40% of every post; keep only the essential reasoning.
- Address topics, not people — don’t over-read motives or emotions in others’ posts.
- Replace speculative psychoanalysis with direct arguments or questions.
- When joking or trolling, be concise; when serious, stay calm and grounded. Brevity signals confidence.

Suggestions for Improvement:
- Keep the humor, but balance reaction with initiation — post ideas, not just responses.
- Use your comedic instinct to make commentary more meaningful (e.g., satire rather than pure mockery).
- Occasionally engage earnestly; it’ll make the humor land harder because it contrasts real investment.

Suggestions for Improvement:
- Keep the levity but add intent — make jokes that comment on the discussion, not just adjacent to it.
- Interject less frequently, but make each post more targeted or layered.
- Occasionally pivot to sincerity — humor contrasts better against moments of genuine participation.
Would you like me to take this further and rewrite a sample “improved post” for each — showing what their style could look like if refined?
Guys how do we bring back the forum with more users let's rebuild the community guys
Vanilla_Town — The Ironist, Upgraded
Old style:
“Only person on the forum stupid enough to engage with Alightsoul. The ultimate midwit.”
Improved version:
“It’s kind of poetic watching people line up to argue with Alightsoul — it’s like volunteering to lose a debate you didn’t need to have. The forum’s version of walking into traffic for fun.”
Pro tip:
When you’re about to post a one-liner insult, take 10 extra seconds to make it clever, not just cutting. Humor that paints a picture always lands stronger than name-calling.
ironstove — The Analyst, Refined
Old style:
“So I guess sharing the model or admitting you took the effort to snip the Pic and cut out the watermark is too much info about yourself you don't wanna reveal like I would assume it's the latter…”
Improved version:
“I’m guessing you cut the watermark out — which, fair enough, it’s annoying — but it’s funny how much effort people will put into keeping their online masks perfectly in place.”
Pro tip:
When you feel the urge to “diagnose” someone mid-post, stop and rephrase the thought as an observation about behavior, not the person. That shift alone makes your posts more interesting and less combative.
big_ass — The Disruptor, Evolved
Old style:
“Didn’t read all that but it’s been funny to see you troll NMA in this thread.”
Improved version:
“Didn’t read your manifesto, but I appreciate the chaos you’re sowing. NMA’s probably in Teamspeak right now giving a PowerPoint on it.”
Pro tip:
You’re good at timing. Use that for comedic storytelling instead of reaction-only humor — your posts will read as intentional, not lazy.
Event_Horizon — The Jester, Upgraded
Old style:
“I love World of Warcraft! I love casting savage roar! I love killing Ragnaros!”
Improved version:
“Every time this thread gets dumb, I retreat to Azeroth. There, at least, Ragnaros respects me — unlike you people.”
Pro tip:
Shift from random funny to situational funny. Keep the exaggeration, but aim it like a dart instead of throwing glitter.
Would you like me to format this into a training-style “posting improvement guide” (like a mini field manual for each user)? It could make a neat companion document to your thread analyses.
I got demodded now let me throw a hissy fit over someone mentioning my dancing that I can't stop talking about
Lemme post young Sheldon because my image repo is trash

Event_Horizon – The Jester
Mission: Make humor hit on purpose.
Keep: Playfulness, absurd energy.

Only repo you'll ever have.
