Learn the secrets of what's going on here, learn who the bots are (all the same guy). He sets up a thread, then gets his bots in insulting each other, eventually the thread catches a fish (a real poster), then all the bots make him dance; some agreeing, some disagreeing, deliberately misunderstanding etc.

You may also notice that when the puppet master clocks that a poster has logged into GFY, he quickly uses one of his bots to post of their threads of interest, to encourage them to get stuck in.

One of the best techniques overall is to use the bots to rile people, offend people's pride so as they start defending themselves. Drama is what messageboards thrive on
