Worry about your game not the forum, the higher your skill level, the more value your words will have.

If you have something to say, your topics would be more popular. But it seems you have nothing to say worth a new topic, so you're asking us. Go play chess and something interesting will come to you. Or not.

^^ This.

There's already so much worthless trash posted on this website that it's hard for new trashy threads to compete. But if you have something worth saying, that's a different matter. People will pay attention.

You've got to ask an interesting chess question.

Eg - Material is equal but what would you play now ?

White to move.

Change your user name and avatar. Something much more attractive.

Maybe actually start discussing chess, ever thought of that?

No, of course not. This is just a place for you to try out your "comedy". 

Well, I'll tell you good sir, I refuse to buy what you're selling no matter the discount. 

Have a good day.

Have someone else write your posts.

Pretend to sexually identify as ----. Then post a lot. When people start complaining, accuse them of being -----phobes.

Fill in the blanks as you wish.

Make no distinction between positive and negative attention, it all counts. Put into practice the lessons you learnt between ages 2-5.

I sexually identify as an Apache helicopter gunship.

... I have a bit of trouble finding female Russian tanks to date, though.

basically this. forums dont make you better at chess. Im actually stopping posting for a bit to fine tune some aspects of my game.

You've said you have or are going to stopping posting many times, usually like this...you post to say you've stopped posting. However, since you're posting to tell us you're not posting again, I stated one should worry more about the game not the forum, I never said the forum will improve one's game. Please keep your non-posts accurate.

Topics like wanting to be a GM, I have beaten a GM or Stockfish get many comments.
