"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.

It's been discussed widsely on this forum about the newbies are cluttering up the discussion forum.

While it's their right as much as mine to be here, I think that there should be a special Master DJ-only forum for people like Gio, Cyclonus, Trickynick, Bohomme, Wyld, crowes, and all the other long term residents (myself included) to go to and post privately in.

We're not out to replace the General Discussion forum with a competing Master DJ discussion, but sometimes we would like a little privacy.


I'm starting a petition. if you wantto sign, please post accordingly.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

No. This idea is idiotic.

While something does need to be done about the newbies, this is not the way.

I'm not entirely sure about how Allan makes money, but if he does want to limit forum members he could simply close registration. That way they could still view the forum, but not post. He could maybe open registration at set times, ensuring that people who want to post will have the ability to post.

Personally, I see one really big problem with that. If you take all the 'Master DJs' and stick them in a private forum that no one else can enter you will subtract some very important content from the regular forums.

Several of those you have listed are major contributors to the forum(s) and add quite a bit. Even the ones I personally disagree with still bring something to the table. I would hate to think that content would be stuck somewhere I couldn't read it and learn from it.

Without content from experienced people newbies will forever remain newbies. Master DJs are these experienced people (for the most part). Even they were newbies at some time and some were even been guilty of occasionally posting redundant questions (topics already discussed in another post).

I agree it is annoying to have to put up and filter through these posts in order to get at the content you want (or disagreeable responses like this
). But I also think a private forum has the potential to do more harm to the site than those other posts ever will.

Anyway, I know this post is meant for supporting the new forum but I just wanted to get in my 2 cents on the subject.

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.
