Necro bump sales threads with your first two posts to ask for cheaper than eBay priced PCE setups. Bonus points if your first ever post in the forum is comprised entirely of the words "PM'd".

Yeah, good going NecroPhile. ;) Too bad we couldn't get that result with DarkHoleBowl...

I seem to always miss out on the good stuff.

Create ridiculously large signature pictures with animations and stuff, cause that shows off how cool you are and how less you give a shit on actual post content. Who's reading posts anyway, when they can look at colourful pictures inbetween them instead? I don't.

[Alt-Nintega]

^ your signature is HUGE. You are not leading by example at all.

Ever been to Neo-Geo.com? That sig is microscopic compared to the monsters lurking on that forum.

Yeah, Clod is referring to EvilEmoX who I believe came from Neo-Geo.com to here and used to have at least half a page long of a sig until Tats and others "politely" "explained" how it was unwanted. I believe it was well-animated as well just for that extra touch of annoyance...

I prefer pads with maximum absorbency.

And, extra wide. With wings.

[Psycho Punch]

Lurk more, we aint no nintendo age son.

[ClodBusted]

One more pro tip:
For your first steps into the forum, choose to post around dumb unrelated comments only you think are funny in a dozen of old threads, preferringly on Fighting Street. The others will enjoy reading them, while you're building up credibility in taking part in future raffles. Good boy!

[esteban]

A soccer mom was overheard giving some advice to her son. She said:

(1) RAFFLE LEECHES: Try to post semi-intelligent comments when you are desperately trying to achieve the "minimum post count" for a raffle.

(2) QUALITY > QUANTITY: If you think that a post count actually means something, you can suck my left one. A person with only 15 posts in a month, but with at least a handful that are meaty, more substantive (or part of an ongoing discussion) is CLEARLY SUPERIOR to someone with 200 posts of "LOL" and " "


(3) Stop the vapid/brainless shite:
TAKE TIME TO WRITE A FEW SENTENCES of your own perspective (no cliches, no recycled crap you heard on YouTube). Try not to regurgitate every vapid, brainless statement you think passes for criticism.

(4) Mocking/insulting a game is a cloying cliche. Do so with creativity/originality, or STFU.

Esteban is my favorite poster so far, what he said is logical unlike somethings! Am I still a noob?

Dude Fuck you It's fighting street, Quit bringing down the vibe, everything here is suppose to be stupid.  (IE Sarcasm)  And trust me there's enough stupid on these forums for days.

ALSO I CALL ON LE BAN FOR ESTEY IN F.S.! posting real advice, what the hell does he think this is http://www.sealedgameheaven.com/

Why did I click that link turbo!

I briefly read a thread over there that was about people bitching about not getting the VGA grade they expected on something... shoot me now.

Thank you for saving me from myself!

I am probably going to still click on the link, though.

So, you failed me. Thanks for nothing, dillweed.

UPDATE:

"Yeah that is definitely a reseal. I have an NTSC CD-I game and it has a Y fold. Probably isn't a stretch to think that every CD-I game was sealed with a Y fold so that's why you got the quick reseal rejection. I agree with Mestizo above, though, that if it is just for your Zelda collection you can get it graded Q. I have a Wand of Gamelon for my collection that I just got an acrylic case from VGA to display it in. These games are total shit, (I actually had the opportunity to play all 3 "Zelda" CD-I games and they are horrible) but the box art is interesting and displayed with other Zelda games they are great conversation pieces. Even though they aren't true Zelda canon I don't think any true Zelda collector can be without these. Then again I know people have very differing thoughts about the CD-I games so it is just my opinion, obviously."

I have nothing against the CD-i (I want to play the silly games), but I can't believe that someone collects sealed CD-i games. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway. Fuck. You.

Damn, you were right. Damn.


DAMN!

The dude "Gators" was so upset with getting 85+ on multiple items in his Fire Emblem, so he sold them all.

HOLY SHITE.

IT WAS, in his words, a "kick in the nuts"...

But, I understand:
He bought sealed games for $$$ +
He paid VGA for grading +
Waited months +
Expected good ratings =
Formula for disappointment

[SephirothTNH]

Wow I thought VGA grading was just an ebay scam thing. I didn't know that people legitimately sent sent stuff to them.

People are ducking idiots.

They truly, truly are.

But that doesn't excuse the charlatans at VGA, those duckers can duck themselves.

NEVER read the opening post of a raffle thread.

Always blindly post based on the title and assume that you qualify. Even if someone points out that you don't, just ask for an exception anyway.

Feel free to ask the kinds of questions which you'd expect to find answered by the details of the opening post (such as when the raffle ends).

Nothing proves you deserve to be entered more than ignoring what the raffler has to say and just asking for free stuff.

This is also the best way to introduce yourself to the forum.

[deadly_duck]

R.E.S.P.E.C.T your peers, don't be a dick. If you tried your hardest yet can't muster a nice positive thought go here for treatment...

I was just thinking "I bet these guys don't care for the NeoGeo crowd"

Not entirely true.  A lot of us are members there.  There's also quite a few who trickle in that are regulars over there.  Quite a few members are over there are good guys.  With how much shit surrounds that system it is kinda obvious why it attracts so many of the crazies, causing that forum to have so many morons and assholes.

Yeah I understand. I'm actually a member there as well (a pretty new one). It really depends on which part of the forum you're on (I really enjoy the NGPC crowd). There's similar people in all console followings, but, like you said, the nature of the NeoGeo etc...

I meant it all in good fun.

Do not ask what OBEY means; it cannot be defined. Stick around a little while and you'll figure it out.

[Psycho Punch]

The limit of any function f(x) when x approaches OBEY from either side is always infinite.

Shipwreck has annoyed me with blatant, no finesse, greedy raffle motives.

I have a billion times more respect for the new folks who make one intro post and then disappear. At least the intro was sincere. I always hope they just went back to lurking...

[NecroPhile]

I foresee my ignore list growing in the near future. 

It probably won't be necessary.  If he continues to spam old threads, he'll find his account deleted.

[shipwreck]

Trust me I didn't know all the in's and out's (like your mom) of the forum. I'll stay back in the watch from afar.

You gotta love it when they're so pressed up against the wall and at a loss that they have to resort to the "your mom" attack. It didn't even make sense!
