GIF WARS and having fun - declined payout post
There are well over 30 content creators still trying to cross the finish line of the Community Engagement Challenge.
The biggest hurdle is comments.
Yup. Challenge participants have to come up with a minimum of 500 thoughtful comments because crap like "Nice Post" or "Follow Me" would get them immediately disqualified from the prize pool.

Let's have some fun!
I don't know about you but I love... absolutely LOVE when people use gifs or appropriate pictures and memes as responses. You get the full on effect of what they're saying and feeling.
For example...
I had a conversation with @sgnsteems about using gifs in her comments
So, I sent her the link to giphy.com and she responded with...
Did it work?...do you need to cite these?
My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard! Yes, @sgnsteems, it worked!
And then, of course, was the conversation that started with @lexikon082...
It started off innocently enough. He was talking about how I'm tracking people on the Community Engagement Challenge spreadsheet
Participants highlighted in pink are in danger of being disqualified. But @lexikon082 made the mistake of saying "don't look for butt puckered up GIFS" and of course... NOW I HAD TO! and I've been torturing him with this in his comments feed for 2 days.
Even better than that, I was laughing so much yesterday that I had to share it on Facebook. Not realizing where I'd left my tabs, I took a break from the computer and walked to the mailbox. When I got back my husband left me a note:
Indeed.
So fear not, dear friends! If you're participating in the challenge I encourage you to have some fun and respond with gifs and memes. Let's boost your comments count and have a laugh.

Bwahahaha ! This is so funny !! I don't know how to use giphy.com ! Or I would add one ! LOL ! These are great though , I will sleep good now , once I stop laughing ! Good luck everyone !!
I am one of those struggling with comments. All my 7 articles have been published.
This comment is sooo yesterday! LOL
Because you're in the winner's circle now!
I have a proposal for you @positivesteem and @fungusmonk we can chat on each other's posts until we reach our goals.
I'm willing to stay awake if needed, all night long until we accomplish it.
And, I'm not joking!
Thanks for the offer. It was tough but i managed to come out with 500plus comments in time.
I'm mad for missing the gif party when it was launched 3 days ago.
Are there really no replies yet?
Probably 1500 replies by the time I figured it out!!!
Took too long
Still, it's never too late to...
So true! Always time to party! 😊
Agree! Never-ending story!
Guys, this posts is the biggest distraction I've seen so far. I need to finish my daily task, not to stare at gazillions of gifs.
Don't get distracted, @steemfluencer - go and reach your goal! 🙂
Thanks! "_"
Good! BTW - What's your lucky number of missing comments now?
Gawd! I know, right?!? Duh fug, guys!
Ok, what @merej99 failed to tell you is she left this GIF on FB too to further wreck my serene and sterilized life. Now, I have not been on Facebook in probably 4 days and I had a ~buttload~ assload of comments. I was about to go to bed after checking messages and I see I was mentioned in a comment. So, I see I was mentioned in a comment. What do I see? ASS GIF, right before bed.
She's a monster and has to be stopped for the sake of humanity.
But... I'm sweet!
LOLOL
John Wayne Gacy was also considered sweet.He actually escorted President Jimmy Carter’s wife on one of her visits to Chicago. He would dress up as a Clown for charity events and parades. Everyone loved Gacy because he was so sweet, lol.
What is wrong with people? Don't they know clowns are...
BAD?
Yes, yes, clowns are bad and scary.
Ok, I have to go and find the notes on how to insert a gif...
Just like you would a youtube video. If you go to giphy, find the gif you want, and click it. You'll see an option to copy link. A short list of links appears. I usually use GIF Link. @karenmckersie - calling you in so you know too.
You've got it all wrong.
My childhood mentor let me know what's up.
What's that saying...
and pound foolish.
The best clowns in the game taught me
how to avoid clowns of that ilk.
I will ponder these thoughts.
WOW... it this from It?
you may have just created a bunch of
and another cumbersome post lol
Yessir!
Let's see what you people got!
I like toast 🍞

I like toast 🍞
I love that gif! Thank you for playing along with us :)
That picture you posted about @lexikon082's conversation made me go:
When @lexikon082 said don't look for... I was like
Do I? Don't I? hmmm....
OMG! Bwahahhaha!😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
That's almost like a dance :)
Could have been a spasm too
Frank already thinks I'm crazy. LOL
I was also, like...
I was wondering how to do gifs too! Now I know!
You are now officially a pro! Have fun! LOL
I might be addicted...already!
BWAHAHAA I resemble this.
Seriously what the heck fingers. Did I just flag this?? Tell me if I did so I can fix it. I was just trying to VIEW it for goodness sake. They need to move t hat flag for phone users!!!
Okey, I'll let you know if you did. Doesn't seem like that for now. Thanks for commenting it. @ned - move that flag for phone users Thanks! :)
We are learning fast! 😉
Was this you laughing?
It was more like this...
And I couldn't stop!
Lol!
Aww, gosh... I need a towel now.
when I realize I have over 200 comments left to make and only a few days left
Don't worry...Be happy. If you're close we're gonna help you across. :D
Don't talk to me about big numbers, please!
I try not to think about them myself...
I can't, not to think! I feel like a prisoner who is counting the days spent in prison by scratching lines on the wall for each day that past. That way I'm now counting my comments. Total insanity! - LOL -
