I was just wondering.... and hopefully I do not contradict myself here and make a total ass of myself. But what does it take to make a great thread besides good humor? FakeSteve, Hot_Bid, and a bunch of others (can't think right now.... give suggestions and I edit :D) make awesome, priceless threads. So aside from the time consuming threads (the one with the pics of progamers made into rappers [another classic]) what does it take to make a simple hilarious thread (like the one with the poll of "who pees in the shower"?

All you need in life is a strong will to succeed and unrelenting determination. If you meet these prerequisites, you can become anything you want with absolutely no luck, fortune or natural ability.

HOT-BID AND THE MASTERS OF THE FORUM

HOT-BID!
And the Masters of the Forum.

I am Manifesto7, Prince of Sandlot, defender of the secrets of TeamLiquid.
This is FakeSteve, my fearless friend (who I raped in a showmatch lololol).

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic
banhammer and said:
"By the power of Teamliquid"

Hot_Bid!

"I have the power!"

FakeSteve became the mighty Rekrul.
And I became Hot_Bid, the most powerful moderator in the forum.

Only three others share this secret.
Our friends the FrozenArbiter, IntoTheWow, and Nazgul.

Together we defend Teamliquid from the evil forces of BGH and FA$TE$T.

HOT_BID!
What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

Any topic where incontrol makes an offtopic post and the thread derails from there usually turns into something good.
