1. Don't follow the rules of posting.
2. Say an album is perfect and that there is no room for improvement, but rate it an 8.
3. Or say an album is decent and point out its faults, but rate it a 10.
4. Use big words as often as possible to make yourself sound smart, but spell them wrong and be sure to use them incorrectly.
5. Always make sure to over represent the genre you love the most, but secretly like Unearth.
6. Post the same thing in multiple threads.
7. When you buy an album, be sure to not only post in the "last album you've acquired" thread, but also make a post in the "last album you've listen to" thread and the appropriate band's thread.
8. Oh, and you must include a picture of it.
9. Or else no one will believe you.
10. You can never post the same thing too many times.
11. Be more brutal than a grandma doing porno.
12. In various threads such as the "Serious Discussion" thread, make your posts as long as possible.

14. Only smart people make long posts.
15. When proving a point, always be sure to overemphasize certain words by making the letters all capitalized.

29. If you are a guest reviewer, only review your favorite album and make sure to give it a higher rating than it deserves.
30. Also, only rate albums that you like, and give them a 10.
31. When voting in a poll in a thread, vote for something even though you haven't heard most of the bands/albums in the poll.
32. And be sure to admit it.
33. Proper punctuation is definitely not tr00.
34. Actually, the more illegible, the better.
35. Be as random as possible in the shout box.
36. Always include some sort of saying or poetry in your profile or signature that doesn't make any sense.
37. As long as it's abstract, you're automatically an open-minded person.
38. Use one of the banger smilies as often as possible.
39. Tell people you've been listening to metal for many years, but you're only 15 years old.
40. Act like you're a veteran of Metal Storm when you actually have only been on for less than a year.
41. Be sure to take a picture of yourself while wearing the most br00taL or tr00 band t-shirt you have.
42. So that means hide your Trivium shirt in your closet.
43. Be a hypocrite.
44. Make sure you tell people that Metal Storm is the best forum out there and that it's the only forum you post in.
45. But you actually post in Metal-Archives all the time.
46. Make sure to have a picture of a band member, logo, or album of an underground band in your signature or avatar to make you look super cool.
47. But never listen to them.
48. Remember, nothing should make sense in the shout box.
49. Unless it's a happy birthday shout.
50. After you give a happy birthday shout, remember to also post in the happy birthday thread. Remember, repetitiveness is key.
51. You must use a smiley in the happy birthday thread.
52. Be more brutal than farting in a hot tub.

71. And of course, spell the super big word wrong.
72. So now you really look smart.
73. Post "RIP" every time you mention Chuck Schuldiner's name.

75. Even if you don't speak English, be sure to constantly post.
76. We will magically understand you!

78. When making fun of someone, open their profile and look at their favorite bands list.
79. You'll always find good material there.

83. Be more brutal than a fat dude doing jumping jacks while wearing nothing but a thong.
84. Be sure to stereotype every genre you dislike.
85. But be mad when people stereotype genres you like.
86. Dislike n00bs. They spam 
87. But be sure to welcome them in the appropriate thread in order to boost your post count.

89. Instead, make sure to create a thread about a question that's already been answered.
90. As a metalstormer, you must hate metalcore.
91. You are far too metal to be listening to that stuff.
92. Be sure to complain that the Metal-Archives server is down.
93. And while you're in a bitchy mood, why not complain about the MS server being slow?
94. Post that a certain band is the greatest band everrrrrrrrrrr even though 2364626 people already have done so.
95. Add a band that you just heard to your favorite bands list, even though you barely know their music.
96. Don't let the fact that MS is a metal forum fool you. Take special time to mention how bad your life is in the other threads. As fellow metal-heads, we all care about your problems.
97. Argue with Hemlock in the Christianity thread.
98. Secretly be Christian.
99. Be more brutal than someone with cerebral palsy trying to tie their own shoe.
100. Waste countless time earning community points, even though they are completely useless.
101. If you are a traitor and actually thinking about leaving MS, be sure to make a thread about it. You really need the attention and we all enjoy reading them.

HAHAHAA Awesome. My favourites are:

26. Never like a band's newest album.
36. Always include some sort of saying or poetry in your profile or signature that doesn't make any sense.
77. Be sure to never read anyone else's posts and post the same thing that everyone else has done already.

...but I really laughed out loud at #97.
Promonex - 05.01.2007 at 23:06  
Brilliant, I say!

Does anyone remember how a well-known female user and j-rock fan followed #56 while being REALLY horny? Now THAT was br00tal!
wrathchild - 06.01.2007 at 00:00  
To any newbie eventually reading this and thinking its the way to go, just don't forget to consider this is irony and that a proper title would be "101 Rules of Not Being a Metalstormer".

Rule 68 was somewhat funny...


PS: Bruce Dickenson? Can that spelling mistake really come from a Metalstormer?
Lupas - 06.01.2007 at 00:25  
Ha ha

Some tips to gain more posts in threads Don't tell Wratchild
Also i like the poetry form in the sig.

The argument with Hemlock

Good work @ pyroleprechaun
AnGina-- - 06.01.2007 at 01:01  
Awesome! Yea, I'm gonna go give COB straight tens and put them in my fave bands! Immediately!

Great job!

And of course, as a tr00 necro kvlr MS -->

Dangerboner - 06.01.2007 at 01:19  
Thanks everyone

I did this while multi-tasking at work though, so there are some mistakes I made...such as Bruce Dickinson. Sorry Wrathchild

Hey, but spelling mistakes are part of the rules!
Lucas - 06.01.2007 at 02:10  
Hey man, congrats on this! I noticed I follow a lot of 'rules' my self too. =P

And this rule:

68. Be more br00taL than Paris Hilton trying to read a book.

Is just way too awesome.
Opium Magnet - 06.01.2007 at 02:31  
73. Post "RIP" every time you mention Chuck Schuldiner's name.

Was that a dig at my sig too?

11. Be more brutal than a grandma doing porno.

52. Be more brutal than farting in a hot tub.

68. Be more br00taL than Paris Hilton trying to read a book.

83. Be more brutal than a fat dude doing jumping jacks while wearing nothing but a thong.

These are just awesome.

I can also see that a few of those points were also digs at other users, while others are general observations, ie. 82. If you're a female metalstormer, be sure to have the word "angel" in your screen name somewhere. LOL.
Dangerboner - 06.01.2007 at 02:36  
lol those aren't personal attacks to anyone...just funny things I've noticed. I actually do a lot of those things
Raiden - 06.01.2007 at 02:37

Well, some of them were pretty funny

27. Their old stuff is always better.
43. Be a hypocrite.
78. When making fun of someone, open their profile and look at their favorite bands list.

Awesome list, pyro. I hadn't noticed the huge CoB worship, though.
Valentin B - 06.01.2007 at 12:10  
@xtreme jax: LOL!! i've got an idea
the "be more brutal than.." saga was quite good
matthioso - 06.01.2007 at 12:12

Warman - 06.01.2007 at 15:26

Warman - 06.01.2007 at 15:27  
Oh sorry! Forgot the headbanger, I'll post two of them since this counts as a comment too
Xtreme Jax - 06.01.2007 at 16:06  
Haha I forgot too

@Warman: we're not n00bs so we can dismiss rule #86 for this

ASiema113 - 09.01.2007 at 17:32  
First off Kudos for the post, you made the eternal hate within subside for about 1 minute, but I overcame this by throwing in some Dying Fetus and putting on "Kill Your Mother, Rape Your Dog" so everyting is as it should.

These were some of the one's that I thought were the highlights of this fine post:

11. Be more brutal than a grandma doing porno.

28. Be more brutal than a semen-filled Jell-O bowl….with delicious strawberries mixed in.

52. Be more brutal than farting in a hot tub.

68. Be more br00taL than Paris Hilton trying to read a book.

83. Be more brutal than a fat dude doing jumping jacks while wearing nothing but a thong.

99. Be more brutal than someone with cerebral palsy trying to tie their own shoe.

I give this post a 9 out of 10 on the Brutality Meter:










BRUTAL
Dangerboner - 10.01.2007 at 01:11
