The High School Forum Is Dying

[black jesus]

The high school forum is filled with nothing but journals and that is making it really dull. im not trying to say that journals are bad i mean that would be hypocritical because i own two lol. im trying to say that the high school forum needs some excitement!! we are the future of the don juans we need to make this a fun experience not something of a monotone.

 

[scudge]

I agree. What are you proposing?

 

[black jesus]

Proposal

I agree. What are you proposing?

i am proposing that there should be a series of treads that involve participation because in the high school forum there are a lot of lurkers who just read and read and then do not practice what they read. i saw a thread earlier about some kind of 2nd annual competition which i signed up for but now i realize that since those competition are for the more advanced don juan the challenges could be awkward for the high school DJ's so i suggest they make a teenage version

also i feel that they should have moderators for the teenage sub forums that are actually teenagers :rock: it might help

black jesus, NDJ is a mod and a teenager. He's going through the exact same stuff, even keeps a journal of it.

I could get into threads that have discussion though. It's hard to read through so many journals and find the discussion points, especially when it takes so long to read some journals already. If I have a good question that I come through in my journal, I'll definitely start posting it up here, to see if we can get some good talks going. Good criticism.

We should make a list of everyone's specialties and ****, so people know where to go to discuss stuff/who to ask about certain things.

 

[TheMusic]

Perhaps we should put all the Journals in a subforum?

agreed

great idea

Norway, bumping this so you see it. A subforum for journals is a brilliant idea.

I think the next logical step is to rip down the stickies we have now (maybe move to an Archive subforum?) and put up a definitive High School bible. Between Nino and Norway and the other brilliant minds on this forum and the rest, I think we could really make something solid. Give back to the community that started us on our way.

Now a journal subforum isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I think that we should be careful that we keep our priorities straight.

This forum shouldn't be about discussing theory or tactics, or talking about things that happened in the past, it should be about actually getting girls. The only threads that reflect that are journals.

It's really important that people get feedback through their journal, so it makes me nervous to put them in a subforum where fewer people will check them and read through new posts.

Something to keep in mind.

 

[TheMusic]

It'll keep it more clear. People will know what are journals, and if they want to read them, they'll know where to find them. There can be a sticky, with a list of active journals and some must-read journals.
Than we can use the Highschool part for information, and tactics, and reflect the results in the journals.

 

[Jack Wealthy]

I think it would be a bad idea. Tactics vs ideals, ideals win every time. There aren't many ideals threads besides the journals, which are dense with them.

Action > Information x 10

This.

I think all of you newcomers are to focused on the small picture at the moment. After a couple of dozen girls you'll want to stop posting a thread for each one. Especially when a pattern emerges. You will also catch that pattern a lot faster if you have a journal.

I think journals are more a sign of life than death.

Starting with Norwegian, followed up by myself, nova, and a few others and now we have a pretty active High School Forum with people who read the journals and are inspired to participate for themselves.

Otherwise this forum would just be a bunch of the same old questions about what to text her or online gaming...

 

[novaknight]

I second BPH's comment.
Journals are sometimes the best signs of progress. My journal kept me accountable of my progress (or lack of, at certain occasions).

Also, I like how each journal is like a subforum itself. People can give constructive criticism, praise when deserved, and encouragement. I know that without certain posters who were there, I would have given up by now.

 

[TheMusic]

Maybe it would be nice, if there isn't going to be a subforum, to put a journal tag in front of the title of the journals (Something like [J], or [JRNL]), so people can easily see the difference between journals and ordinary questions.

 

[Jack Wealthy]

They're all obviously journals man. Most have journal in the title. I agree it would look cool; but it would be entirely unnecessary.

I'm actually digging the journals. Way back in the day (I won't age myself by saying how far back...Older than my join date though!) there were a LOT of questions but no real responses. With the journals, I am actually getting to see a lot of you guys evolve and step your game up. This is actually one of the highest points I have seen the High School Forum at since the days of The Matrix: Reloaded, Brazilian Blues Boy, Lorenzo/KinoOI, Jester, Whatsupwiddat, misunderstood??, Eternal, Cablelight, syncmaster, Nocturnal, and the other greats.

Yeah, there are some things I'd change, but right now, this place is showing life. Let's keep it up!

Lol. Missed this post when it happened.

It's interesting to know that this forum has a history, beyond the months that I've been on it. And it's cool to know I'm following in a successful person's footsteps.

I post a lot up here (because I check this site as obsessively as my facebook, unfortunately) and I know I help some people, but I'm looking forward to some of these other guys catching up to the progress I've made so far (and me catching up to the ones ahead). Journals are the only threads I really ENJOY reading. I'll have opinions on those random topics, but I like understanding the person behind the name.

Can you guys imagine the day when every member of this core group has a 10+ page journal? We're going to know each other well, and know what we're each capable of. There will be a lot more stories of girls being kissed and virginities being lost.

For some of us though, we have one semester and the summer left. Then it's off to college or the rest of our lives. Let's get to work.

Dont forget Sammo. Those guys were amazing.
