You can't give DJ advice in the Discussion Forum....

[speed dawg]

It just gets overwhelmed by the sea of idiot AFC advice, I guess because it's not what people want to hear. I remember someone's sig said something about AFC's being like a a bucket of crabs, as soon as one starts to make his way out, the rest pull him back in.

I guess after you've implemented the DJ perspective, it's easier to recognize AFC-ness in others, all the while forgetting what it took to get to that point. I'll admit it wasn't that long ago when I was the worst of the worst when it came to being an average frustrated chump.

What? I thought the ten-post rule was the instant cure to make every sosuave post a quality one?

You saying my post sucks while trying to subtley jab at the moderators? If so, thanks for ruining my thread.

I don't think he was talking about you. What he meant was, that the moderators created the 10-post rule to fix that problem on the DJ Discussion Board, but it isn't really making a difference. All the same guys are posting the same nonsense.

I've been spending more time on the General Discussion board over the last few months and the key with posting there is to make sure you know and recognize who has some experience and who is completely full of it. The bad apples usually distinguish themselves from the good ones fairly quickly. Also, it's not very hard to tell the difference between bad advice and good advice. But, if I was younger and more inexperienced, I would probably be misled by a lot of what some of those guys on there say.

I'm right there with you though in your frustration. IMO, the best solution to the problem is to get on there and give good advice.

Ah, gotcha. Haven't been on here enough lately to figure it all out I guess. Sorry Bible Belt.

But yeah the Discussion forum in d@mn near unreadable.

Here's the difference, people stopped discussing good solutions in detail. Posts that speed dawg is talking about are now even more visible like you pointed out. Ironically, it's the opposite outcome of what the post limit was intended to do (I guess) and BB pointed that out. Oh yeah, a difference has definitely been made.

Why I keep coming back here to get good advice and to get myself pumped up with new ideas and philosophies is beyond me. The forum goes from excellent advice to a complete downer.

I'm giving them their 2-3 week, so-called trial period to see this is obviously a disaster, and if that time significantly passes, I'm going to hope that someone with more time than me will explore an alternative forum for a move. I think a wide-scale move would be an excellent way to reduce overall post counts here, if that is their objective. Hey I certainly don't want to be intrusive more than anyone else probably does. Moving along would ensure that doesn't happen.

I don't recall it being referred to as a trial-period. Did I miss something?

Discussion could be renamed "the Playpen"

Me neither.

Perhaps "The Litterbox?"

Yeah the Discussion forum is pretty awful and whats worse is these same AFC's who don't listen to our advice on it the first time come back here after following their own plan and way of doing things and complain about how this site didn't help them at all and I'm like duh you moron, you didn't listen to one word of what we said nor did you apply anything we said. You did what you wanted so your failure is your own. Don't blame the site or the posters for what you brought onto yourself.

Never underestimate the futility (or stupidity) of AFCs in mass.

What the AFC's on the discussion forum don't want to hear is next that b!tch.

Rather they want to be coddled with advice like buy your princess one true love soulmate some chocolates and flowers, reward your goddess for taking it up the ass from all members of the football team behind your back because you must of done something horrible and wrong for her to do this. Buying chicks gifts and being a supplicating wuss is the way to their heart after all not to mention this behavior will win the heart back of your lady love who left you for the jock with the 18 inch schlonger.

Stupid unrepentant, self defeating AFC's.

And no I'm not saying everyone on the discussion forum is an AFC but the ratio of AFC's to DJ's is abysmally high on that board.
