I agree with you. It is too bad the majority of AFC rather have that quick temporary surge of (inspiration??) than do what is really necessary.

Have you notice that most of the Pook praiser are still on this site (b/c they are still an AFC?) while the people that dismiss Pook are gone (b/c they have become a true Don Juan?) .

My favorite poster is Senor Fingers.

Finally some people who make sense about Pook. I was always confused why some people loved him so much. I've desrcribed his posts as an unnecessarily long and melodramatic run around the main point....which are often very simple and do not need the 5 pages he uses to explain them.

That's just his writing style. He's a very descriptive writer, and very talented. You can tell it's kinda like art to him...and he put a lot into his posts. His tips are VERY good...but to those with a short attention span or who just are too restless or impatient to follow the long posts, his points tend to get lost. You have to be someone who either enjoys his writing style or can at least follow it patiently to get much out of his posts.

I've read a few of his posts in full to give him a fair chance. I found them to just be a fancy rehash of what goes around on this forum, advice in the DJB, and advice in many articles available all over the internet. He does not say anything that you can't find in the above mentioned resources, hence, they are NOT "his" tips. Why does he constantly get credit for simple concepts that you can find on practically any self-improvement resource?

His writing style is not original either. That, like his advice is also rehashed. There is not a single unique bone in his body. Just apparently the Pook-lovers/followers on here are not well-read or well-cultured enough to see this.

What am I talking about you say? Allow me to elaborate:

*poof*

In a ball of black smoke the masked man known as TillTheEndOfTime enters, along with one of his followers. With fires matching the fury of hell, TillTheEndOfTime disperses the shadows covering the Sacred Book.

"What is this Sacred Book?" the confused follower asks.
"Ah ha!, seek and ye shall find young one."

The follower picks up the Sacred Book. He dusts off the cover to reveal the identity of this Sacred Book. At this point he can only read the Author's name....it says....."Pook".

The follower takes off some more dust to reveal the title of this Sacred Book. It says: "The Holy Bible".

Director: "Alright, alright that's the cut! Lights on please!"

Pook's writing style is straight from The Holy Bible. Don't any of you know about the Gospels? Have not any of you seen the writing style used to describe the story of Jesus and how he taught his disciples? If not, read the Gosepls in the Bible.

You will find that Pook did nothing but rehash the writing style in these stories in the Bible.

Sorry I had to break this to you Pook-lovers.

I'd have to say my favorites are,
BBB, and Senor fingerz

they are his tips though (at least this forum's) considering the fact that Pook was an original 2000 member. Be a Man and Kill that Desparation were made around the same time.

To his writing style, maybe that is why i enjoyed his writing style so much. I like to read the bible.

Well, that may be so but these ideas were around before 2000. They were around before this site was made. Him being here at the grand opening of this forum and posting those tips is not proof they are his...just proof that he knew about them from some place and just so happened to be one of the original members here to post first about them.

That's good you read the Bible. I got nothing against it or Pook. Just saying that Pook's writing style is taken from there. It's not his. He should not get credit for it.

YES! I FEEL THE LOVE!

My faves are: Dietzcoi, Westcoaster, Jariel, Slickster &...PRL (even though he scares the hell out of me half the time.)

...I miss Demon sometimes. DAMN! That boy could start a flame war that would actually melt your keyboard.

 

[duke007]

I always read posts from guys like:
Duke, squirrels, Jariel, Fransisco dAnconia, PRL, Slickster, Lifeforce, CLOONEY, frivolous and dietzcoi.

I'm sure there are others but the names aren't coming to me.

Exactly Miss, you'r right!!!!


I think I learned much of Pook, than those desperate threads on the frontpage. Also I like the tips archive. It's a real pity Pook left the forum.

Props to Senor Fingers, Allen Thompson, Anti-Dump, Adonis & David d'Angelo.

BBB and Fingz definitely. I didn't really know CHALENGE GUY, but his tips are amazing. The same goes for The Writer.
