Why this forum sucks....

[oakraiderz2]

because all the post are so goddamn negative. 'Im so depressed', 'my parents hate me', 'i wanna cut my wrist'. Stop being so goddamn negative. "I cant get a girl because xyz." No, you cant get a girl because you use words such as cant. Try changing your attitude about your situations and you jackasses might be able to pull some tail.I completely understand your struggles, but b*tching about them wont make them go away. Read some sh*t and practice so you dont suck. While youre at it get some muscles and a personality. Seriously though...everyone with problems do this: Breathe, stretch, relax and chill. Heres the oakraiderz style to getting b*tches...behold:

1. Opening/ approaching/ intro- Approach with a simple hey, whats up or hows it going. Nothing too complicated, merely break the ice.

2. Conversation- Keep it all light and fun so she is entertained and you are bored. After the casual give and take of statistics of oneself, start making joke and having fun. Comment about the enviorment or something shes wearing (which you should make fun of in a nice way). Find out some stuff about her to see if she has the same interest. Since youre all in school...school is a good OPENER (dont rely on it to maintain a convo). Basically...keep it cool.

We'll stop here since the majority of you have trouble in these two areas...cough...viper...cough. If anyone ever read this...TANK JOO! Yea...im an *******...get over it... AC/DC is a cutie...haha...holler

Ive hepled before, i was just a prick about it cause people are stupid.

Amen to that. Lets get some positive stuff going in this forum. Enough of this 'i wanna die' attitude.

One thing that depreciates the value of the board is that people everyone feels their situation or idea is important.


As for negativity, look at the title, look at your last three posts... Were they positive or negative?

Even if people are stupid, you can't hold it against them
You may not know University level Maths that make total sense to them.
Respect.

This board is precisely for this reason, helping people understand the broader image of life and knowing the big picture. NOT for telling them off for complaining about their parents or whatever.

All this hating negativity makes me wanna slit my wrists....

Take out about 3 or 4 people and this board would be so much better.

 

[deadaim89]

See alot of these guys are looking for us to hug them and tell them its all ok. Or make us feel bad for them. They need to realize NO ONE feels bad for them because its their own fault they are in their situation

Of course they do. It's human nature. No matter what, a person's own ideas/issues/problems are the most important thing to them at that moment. Just look at your post. Do you think you would have said that if you didn't think that saying it was somewhat important?

The majority of people who respond to posts on here don't get it. Read any book on how to make friends or become successful and one of the main elements is to make the people around you feel important. It gives them a boost, and makes them enjoy time spent with you more.

Now there are people on this board who ask for help. Maybe it is a stupid problem, maybe they should have known the answer or maybe they could have read it in the DJB. But asking others in the community, getting responses from actual people who take the time to help, makes them feel important, and sometimes, that can be all that they need. Sometimes the fact that someone actually took the time to tell you something makes it mean more than just reading it in some old archive.

I agree that a lot of threads on here are just attention vvhore BS, and that some aren't even worth reading, but it seems like the old-schooler guys don't want any question asked or situation posed that could have possibly been answered in the last five years on here. What's the point of having the forum then? This is supposed to be a place to help people that need it, to teach people who don't know what they need to do, and to show people how to be good at the game, but it feels like so many long time members would just rather sit around and circle-jerk about how good at the game they already are. How does that help anybody?

i think, honestly, if a moderator erased the accounts of viper and dreamx, this bored would improve immensely. its a moot point though, because they probably wouldnt (well maybe dreamx but itd be a stretch) since they havent done anything HORRIBLE except drag everyone in general down.

unfortunately though, theres no rule against that

Yea, theyre not really negative. They may not encourage people and hold their hand, but tough sh*t. I dont tell people what they cant do or discourage them in anyway. Sure people post stupid stuff and i respond harshly sometimes but theyll get over it and stop asking stupid questions.
