Maybe there is another way to measure a DJ's contribution to the board besides the number of posts. Any ideas?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Better title than "Master Don Juan?"
- Thread starter maknmovs
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

How about if someone has to recommend you?

But that don't change the way I feel about you,
And if you think this thought might bring me down,
look again 'cause I ain't wearin' no frown!"

Well if we was using the latest version of this software then we could enable user ratings which allows people to vote on which guys give the best advice.
Everytime someone posts you get to see what their rating is (scale of 1 - 5). That way we could tell who people really listen to and who just talks lotsa BS... But I'm sure we have a pretty good idea of that anyways!
So that's my little useless point for today... As this is UBB version 5 and not 6 it's a bit of a bugger, but nevermind.
You'll just have to stick with your master don juans

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So you're saying that upgrading the software is not an option? If that's true is there any other way to manage votes as to who gives the best advice and use that data to create some sort of ranking system?
Okay, I have an idea. Most Newbies have the same kinds of questions. Why not set up a Newbie Advice Collection of sorts? Set it up like the DJ Bible. List a question and make the question a link to a quality answer/solution to that particular problem. And list every possible typical Newbie question you can think of. The DJ Bible is a wealth of information, but most people have specific questions that they need answers to quickly along with the inspirational posts. Then the Newbies will have something to refer to that will be of immediate help that doesn't steer them in the wrong direction.
