Where to get a sense of humour?
Since you all Demand funny and quality posts, tell me where to get this "funniness". I know and admit my posts are lame, how to improve?

First step is to stop annoying members 
Second step is to read other funny people's posts and then start to understand how some of the things that they say are funny and try to make some kind of funny comments based on that. Or go watch comedy movies/shows.

Clearly the easiest way to do it is to:
1) Start following a comedian around,
2) Learn his or her habits,
3) Observe them for a few months,
4) The use knowledge of their daily routine to draw up a clever plan to kill them using a starving bear,
5) Kill them using starving bear, and
6) Take the jokes of the dead comedian for your own.
Be advised though. If anybody knew about the jokes before you took them, you may have to complete steps 1 - 6 in order to cover your tracks. Oh, it's probably better to off a low-profile comedian and one that isn't from any countries with strict legal systems. Try Bolivia or somewhere like that.

See the whole "The young ones" comedy serie. It'll change you forever, trust me 
Ahh... the schoolcompetion episode... "ACHTUNG!" Ha ha, I still laugh about it.
But really, don't try to change yourself just to please others, just stay the way you are,do what you want and if people don't like it, well that's just their problem isn't it?
Unless what you really like is überspamming and posting porn pictures, then I'll get kinda mean, but I know you're not like that.

You're wrong, that actually made me laugh
So you're not so unfunny and definently not uberlame, it's so easy to say "Don't care about what others say", but most people don't realize just how important it is. There is no possible way that you can be perfect in all peoples' eyes, so stop complaining about what other thinks and be yourself!

Originally I had put: It seems to be working for you so far.
Look, if you were all of a sudden funny and writing awesome posts, you wouldn't be the same Darkshadow/Darkshadows we have all come to uh...well, um... I'm sure someone feels some particular way about you.

I think Darkshadow/s needs some cheering up! Why don't we all say something nice about him?
Darkshadow/s most often replies to everything, he never lets someone wait for a long time which tends to make Hc a much less boring place.

Alright!
It was a lot of fun teaching Darkshadow/s how to use commas correctly in a totally offtopic manner somewhere or other. I had some good laughs, as did Lexxan(? IIRC).
Also I enjoyed the very recent Ylath debate.
That's about it.

Seriously though while it can be developed or polished a sense of humour is inherent, it cannot be learnt. Each of us has his own attributes and strengths, being a funny guy is not a requirement. Also trying to be funny without succeeding is worse.
A few things that might help.
Make sure your audience understands it, obscure or hard-to-get jokes are not the way to go.
Know the right time for jokes, your friends may not be in the mood.
Naturally you must know what kind of jokes people consider funny, there are certain jokes that I despise or find annoying.
Don't be forced let it come. If you are always searching for something funny to say you'll probably mess up.
Don't think it too much, you are not giving exams. Some spontaneity is required.
Don't say the same jokes to many people because eventually you'll end up repeating the joke to the same person and that sucks.
Finally do not mistake a sense of humour with memorizing jokes, the best jokes are the ones you come up with in the moment. Focus on what is said and your surroundings.
The above may seem obvious but believe me they aren't for many people.

Uh, and practice practice practice.
Don't take it personal when we heckle you. It's all part of the song and dance.
Don't be afraid to fall flat on your face. You learn more from your mistakes and taking risks than when you just stay in a comfort zone.
And don't wilt under pressure. Never wilt. Don't show weakness. The pack will eat you alive. Instead, go on the attack.
For example,
The Gootch: Zomg that was the most retarded joke I've ever heard DarkShadows!! J00 Suxz0rs teh b1g 1!!!11
DarkShadows: You know what's retarded? 40 year olds trying to use leetspeak.
The_Gootch: Hey! I'll have you know I'm only in my early 30s!!
DarkShadows: Close enough grandpa. Want some geritol?
