nobody knows who anybody is on forums. so all they can go by is how one writes a post. if it doesn't come across like you're a douche baggins, then people won't get ticked off at you. just remember it's very easy to mis-interpret tone on posts since it's just printed words.

You gotto clarify "Dumb shyt" also b/c what you think is dumb, some people will disagree and think it's very intelligent.

You can't please the masses, especially on this message board where peoples views of the Knicks, and real life are so spread.

Therefore, don't worry about pleasing the masses. Just be yourself. And if being yourself is being a douchebag, then hey, we got somebody to make fun of at least.

Fair. Dumb shyt= purposefully antagonizing people with retarded ass logic on the daily.

Lets be real. This blob cat knows what he's doing. Everybody acts stupid around here and plays with each other, but duke is annoying and offensive.

Who cares if anybody likes you. I sure don't.

Now to answer to your question. The key to being liked is the following:
1.) Have a sense of humor without being weird(this one goes out to you BBJ-you weirdo)
2.) Don't travel around from post to post looking for a fight.
3.) Don't post the same thing over and over again
4.) Don't be Allanfan20, dysunyc, BBJones, Solace, or yourself

The Key to beign loved:
1.) Be me
I just hope that people will like me

Likability is irrelevant. What matters is standing. You gain standing by amassing posts. It doesn't matter what the posts contain, just keep that number growing. 10,000 is the current threshold for respectability (Although that may increase to 20,000 as all the heavyweights are either at 20,000 or soon will be.).

It'll take another year and a half for you to reach 10,000. By then, 10,000 may not have as much cachet as it does now.

I recommend posting more often. It is also good to make those posts as provocative as you can. This creates arguments, which create more posting opportunities for you.

I actually liked him up until his last few months. His last month or two he really had nothing to say. He really just went around attacking anyone that had anything to say that wasn't "we suck". It got annoying after a while. Every thread ended up with someone fighting the guy. He loved it, but it wasn't funny or interesting or insightful.
I just hope that people will like me
