ok i made some of my posts better.
But I dont know how much more i need to improve, anyway are they any better?
They're not really all that much better. I'll give you a few tips, and anyone else here can feel free to use them:
1. Get Mozilla Firefox - Considered one of the best browsers in the game, it has a built in spell checker, so asdf gets a red line, and Firefox guesses (very poorly, but it tries, and sometimes gets it right) what the word should be. Plus, it is customizable with themes and applications to make it look and act all fancy. Here's the link. It's Firefox 3, which is the newest edition, but it has the fewer extensions to it.
2. Say as little as possible in as many words as possible - having a long post makes you look smarter, and makes it seem like you know what you're talking about. Even if you don't, people will read your post and think your 23.7% than some one who may be right, but has a 10 word post. I look through your recent post history, and see pretty much all one liners, or posts that should be 1 line. Now if you were to expound on your thoughts, they would look and sound better.
3. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything - I'm using the old phrase because it kind of fits, minus the "nice". Don't worry about post count; it'll come. Posting just to get a +1 doesn't make sense. Newgrounds may be very stat oriented, but when it's all said and done, it doesn't really matter. So if you have nothing funny or relevant to say, don't say anything.
4. Avoid /g/ - General is becoming the new 4chan /b/, as in it sucks. It's filled with bad topics and spam, along with people who think they're funny. Granted, you can get a decent topic out of General, but it's one in a million, literally. So join a club/crew, become more politically active, learn flash, play a video game; those sections may be slower and have more specific topics that you know little about, but generally you'll have better posts, and that's what counts.
That's about all I can think of, if anyone wants to hop in and add something I forgot, feel free.
