Hey guys,
First of all, WOAH! I'm amazed by so much in this thread. Before I begin, I'd like to thank the large proportion of you who are supportive, and this includes those on the IRC channel. I'll answer some of your questions here...

nick, repeat after me,
FCUK THE HATERS. (we all have them )
do not let someone questioning you undermine what you KNOW about yourself.

I'm with you Nick.

I don't see how your inexperience is relevant to compiling the bible. It's not like you write the articles or even really choose them -- you just put in what is popularly considered the best advice. More power to ya!
One thing I started to realise in the past few days is the fact that while I have not yet had a long term girlfriend, or even sex, it doesn't mean that I have had no success at all. Much like Master Of The Universe, I guess, I measure success based on actual results rather than the change in mindset. Girls touch me every day, and it's been happening for a while now, so maybe I'm not using that as a measure of success any more. The truth is, that had girls touched me in the distant past, I would have considered it massive success.

I'm glad you're gone. Maybe I'll stop getting PMs from you!

Nick, you've got one hell of a head on your shoulders. I personally have no problem with you organizing the DJ Bible. Your choice of lifestyle has nothing to do with knowledge. You're not biased against people getting laid, or else you'd omit everything on the subject from the DJB.
This is true. I have even added sex articles to the DJB. The addition of articles is mostly democratical. I don't go around saying "I like that one! No-one else does, but I'll add it anyway". People are rising up arguing on this forum which articles should and should not make it into the DJB. I even saw an article with the subject "This is one for the Bible!". No it wasn't!

I completely respect your choice on the matter of virginity. Don't lose it to some stupid-ass bimbo like I almost did.
I think that desiring sex simply because I haven't had it yet is pretty weak. That would mean that I'd go for anyone, fat or phychotic for example. She'd never let go?
At the same time, I realise that sex is an important part of a relationship. I don't think I'd hold on to virginity if I found a really cool girl worth my time.

Another reason this poll is a dumb idea is that someone who really hates you can simply clear out their cache and re-vote.
Which seems to be the case, considering the "No"s just bumped from 25 to 220 in under half an hour!
I saw that and got some PMs about it. For that reason I'm basing my decision on the responses and I'm guessing its 90% positive or at the very least way above 50. Thanks to you all!
(Walden
I vote with Nick.
With regard to the virginity angle as a matter of personal preference I'd ƒuck a knothole in a fence if I could figure out a way of keeping it's panties afterwards
Ha ha. Walden, you've been an inspiration to me for a while and you damn well know it too.

But more importantly, just add someone to the Manage Bible thingy
I did ask a short while back but got little response. The people would need basic programming skills. Those with time to do the administration aren't out there in the field often (how else would they have time?) and those in the field often have too little time to spend on administration.

How about having Sir Chancealot or Allen Thompson
Sir chance is not around very much at all, and Allen is faaaaar to busy! (I'm guessing - I don't see him posting tips)

I'm only going to say this once:
You wrote a very interesting response about people needing icons and sacred texts. I thought I'd point that out.

First, who is paying for this space? Whose server is it on?
The site is hosted on my webspace given by the Computer Society of Swansea University (
www.sucs.org is a society of
www.swan.ac.uk ). I get any web server technology for a whole year for only £5 ($7.50). This is my third year in university and hence the final year. After this year I will end up paying a lot more for similar features.

Dear Nick:
The DJB is your baby, if you don't want to maintain it anymore then don't. If you want to keep maintaining it, then do. Maybe you really do want to stop and this is a way of justifying that to yourself. Whatever you do, don't let a popularity contest decide things for you.
(crazykid
Nich, you've done more then your fair share on this site. Don't let some words on the internet keep you from doing what you love doing. With the advice you give...You'll have those British chicks all over you shortly. Consider this a dry (very dry) spell. You'll soon plunge into a "wet" spell. Keep it up man.
Thanks man. This reminds me of what is possibly a large reason for me being "upset" recently. Its the realisation that this is the third year and if I don't rush myself into a LTR soon my life will become incredibly more difficult. "If I were to leave University life without having had a girlfriend, I may never get one" - That's what my mind thinks. University is supposed to be the easiest place to pick up chicks and then after that its the big wide world with a job and fewer social opportunities. I'd actually like some feedback on this issue.

Hmm... my only beef with the bible is that the music is TRULY made for pansies.
Haha. I didn't pick the music bits nor have I listened to any of the tracks!
Thanks again guys,
Nick
