"Field Reports" instead of "Success Stories"

[trickynick]

Hello, Allen.

Here is an observation you might consider. Having a forum called the Success Stories Forum may inhibit some people from posting there because they may be unsure as to whether to view a particular field outing as a success. In reality, every approach is a success and should be interpreted as such.

I think renaming the forum that is now called "Success Stories" to be called "Field Reports" would do several things.

a) It would encourage members of the board to go into the field, which is where real lessons are learned.

b) It would make for more activity in that forum.

c) Improve the overall content of the forum.

Having real world situations to base thoughts on would make for better discussions here. It would also discourage ill-considered or parrotted advice.

One could argue that the kinds of posts I am talking about could be posted in the main discussion forum, but I think this would be better because having a forum called "field reports" is going to make people WANT to post there, therefore making them get their face out of the screen and approach. Instead having it called "success stories" makes them insecure about their success or lack thereof and intimidates them.

Anyway, think about it.

This is a good suggestion and I've been thinking about it. (And bonus points for originality.)

I don't want to pull all the "good stuff" out of the main forum though. We've already pulled out tips and success stories... although the SS forum is a little too slow to be considered a success itself.

Feel free to reply with your thoughts on this suggestion.

Good suggestion.

Actually Allen, I think you will be very surprised how much more "good stuff" will be discussed in all the forums on your site once you start encouraging more field activity. The main forum will always be busy, you need not worry about that.

It's all worth knowing. Lots of mind blowing applications. I am not massively field experienced with it yet, but I am noticing great responses to blatant applications of it even in casual interactions with women. However I will say that I believe the people who rely too heavily on hypnotic tactics to be guys who have a deep seated feeling of unworthiness of the women they are pursuing and see NLP wizardry as much easier than confronting the much tougher issue of their desparation for the approval of women due to their poor self image.

The success forum has suffered massive failure.

I brought it up again in the Moderators' Forum. Allen has confirmed that Success Stories is on the way out.

I hope I was allowed to say that!

Whether it will be replaced by Field Reports is another matter. Only Allen has the answers...

I was a mod when the success forum was introduced. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Success stories is a good idea.... it can still contain them... but it does need to be called 'field reports'

The term 'success stories' is rarely ever used in the forums because, as tricknick says, ALL approaches and experiences should be thought of as successes.

I definitely agree with this course of action. And moving all the best posts wouldn't be a problem, just leave them in the general board, only new posts need go in 'field reports'
