Good points,
I´ve never been a fan of the endless "lets fix the forum" essays, but about some of the things you said on tactics and techniques...
It is easy to say to a newbie "think like this", but why should his brain want to accept a new way of thinking? Cause some guy on the internet says so? Just like in music, martial arts, or anything that requires you to change the way you are so that you enter a state of "doing without thinking", it needs physical practice. I think the goal of most guys here is bing confident, cool, and not afraid of being who they are, which naturally will lead them to women.
To achieve this "automatic" response you actually need to do things mechanically at first, so that the info will stay in your head and it comes later naturally. Look at aikido or karate newbies, most look like robots, practicing every day the same endless drills, but look at black belts and when you see the elegance you see where it all went. Same with music, get a newbie kid to play a passage, he will do it with no grace, cause he´s self concious about it, but have him do it for years and it becomes second nature, it will be his language. All this rant goes to say that people need to go and try things (agreeing with what you stated), but they actually need "tricks and techniques" -- not so they can go and do a trick on a girl and hypnotize her into bed, but so these tricks (appearing confident through CF or whatever) become second nature and they find themselves confident soon enough. That´s why I think bootcamp is a great idea for newbies, cause it gets them in the street trying things out.
To all the people saying the forum blows nowadays, you probably are above advice, not kidding, you are the people who grew up with the forum. Thats why you dont want to listen to a newbie say How do I get X girl? You dont need advice, if you were waiting for another God-sent Pook to give you literary entertainment (cause thats all you can get at the stage youre at) thats fine. Maybe you guys should be posting more of the type of stuff that makes the bilbe in the Tips section, helping nebies with concepts, rather than helping X guy get Y girl.
