Yes, I'm a noob to the PUA game and to this forum, but I am NOT a noob to the forum scene. I don't know exactly how long this forum has been around, but it sure hasn't been long (the first forum I joined was started in 02) so I'm guessing this is the first real influx of noobs. Undoubtedly this is due to the Vh1 show, but it's the natural course of a forum to gain members. I don't see why everyone's leaving. Yes, it's annoying when there's a mass influx of noobs but guess what happens? They aren't noobs forever. And on a forum where there is a vast of amount of information exchange (like this one) and influx of noobs is only a temporary set back.

If you guys would stick around and either deal with or ignore the lack of searching or ignorant posts or whatever comes along with noobs, you'd reap the benefits of not only helping out those of us who actually want to become legit PUAs and make a drastic life change, but you'd also reap the benefits of our field tests and various ideas and stories. Sure it sucks now but in a month all the posers will be weeded out from the legit rAFCs.

We all were noobs to the game at one point and the only person who really did it without help was Mystery. Don't look at it as a bunch of annoying little kids that you have to babysit. Look at is as an opportunity to advance your own game.

While the VH1 show was mostly crap, Mystery did say that the mark of a true mPUA is the ability to impart the knowledge you've gained onto a new generation. Why stop listening to the man now?

People leave because they think they are too good for the crowd. They think they are better than everyone else because they are old-timers; let them leave. Others will take their place.

I don't have an ego, I just love how awesome I am.

Yeah if they want to go let them. The noobs will will soon be split into rAFC and posers. The posers will just be weeded out because they don't have the will or heart to change. I agree soon there will an even bigger information network for us to draw from. I welcome all my 3rd gen AFCs.

For alot of the guys who are old posters. Its been give give give for the last 2-3 months. And they arent getting much back.

PU is currently undergowing some serious changes. With such a HUGE influx of new people to the community (wether there posers or not) game is under pressure. If you truely wana be great like mPUA your going to have to learn how to be just that much better than the crowd.

Alot of the guys were finding it hard to find decent feedback and even find really good posts. Remember alot of these guys have been gaming for a long time (Methusalah has been for 6 years), alot outdate Mystery Method. Their mindset is that they need to constantly improve. While they were alot of help to newer people (me included), if your searching to improve yourself just that much more your not going to want to stay somewhere where your not personally learning anything.

Anyway like it was said, let them leave. You do not need them, and its not like all their good posts arent still here. Im sure most of them have unloaded all their knowledge already.

you guys don't get it. its not the fact that your new to the community. its all the unnecisarry posting. first of all, none of the posts are in the right section. secondly and more importantly, you guys can't use the search function.

I understand where you are coming from. However the lack of use of search function IMO is not that big of deal especially if an old question is asked in a new way which in turn might yield new answers. For all the posting in the wrong sections... well shame on them!

I can see and understand why a lot of the older posters are bolting. How many times in the last two months have we seen posts like this.....

"OMG I approached my first set today and I opened them with ___________!
Now what do I do?"

A portion of these people aren't bothering to read or try things, they are looking for their hands to be held even though their questions are answered in the slew of info here and in 2 dozen e-books out there.
