The sillier the better.  Posting news for all to see is encouraged.  I honestly don't care how dumb it is, especially if lulz.

Would you rather have sex with a goat and nobody knew about it or not have sex with a goat but everyone knew you did?

Watch what you wish for.  I almost created one with no content except for the text: "lulz" and then spamming it like twenty times but i realized that was underhanded douchebaggery even too lowbrow for me.  so there

Hyperguy I reckon you oughta fix the submit article link before we can submit any news! It just takes people back to forum.hyperguy.net and asks them to login an infinite number of times.

What the hell man!  We're trying to get the spiggot of creativity + attention whorage going!  Go back and post that!

Basically, I'm tired of the only news being reported being like important site stuff.  I'm sure that everyone has plenty of (seemingly)unimportant, yet entertaining bits of information to share.  And I wanna see it on the front page!  If person eats a strawberry frosting pop tart and likes it, I wanna read about it!  If you were playing Metal Gear Solid 3 because you haven't gotten a PS3 yet and you pressed the square button and it made you laugh it better be on the front page by noon!

I'd like it people weren't intimidated by the 'ooo, wow, frontpageness' and just used it for their dumping ground for the purposes of entertainment/lulz.  Because this is a community site, and everyone has the ability to do so.  So get crackin', elite team of pop tart eater stalkers!

Because really, nothing's more entertaining than reading news that isn't!

Also, adding the ability to upload images to the forum, even though such power might create an etheral rift...Of awesome!
Looks like they've always been available, but no one's thought to click on 'Additional Options' and use that to post one.

Thanks for catching that fastball soldier.  Yeah, that was a url error.  Shoulda updated it after I applied the domain name.  Fix'ed it just now using internet super powers.

isn't that what the youtube thread, the what-i'm-listening-to thread, and the random-thought thread are for?

oh no wait, those are just things for exactly that purpose except their hidden away in the armpit of the forums so I'm not forced to give them any of my undue attention and instead give them exactly what they deserve, absolutely nothing but my profound disgust and pity

i see so this is exactly like all of those things except I'll be forced to see them when I open up your website

that's a neat trick Mr. guy but you see I've foiled your plans once again!  my bookmarks leads me right to the forums MUAHAHAHAHA VICTOLY IS MINE

Yes, but those are for videos, random thoughts, and what people are listening to.  Random thoughts and what people are listening to never were really meant for lulz.  They're moreso informational in nature with the occaisional humour, and the chance that someone is interested in the same music or has similar thoughts.  And the Youtube thread's format doesn't really work well with the front page since everything after the first post isn't shown.
