I have been noticing this for a while, and I think there are two ways we can all make the travel forum even better than it is:
1. Report Back on your trip.
Obviously, many do a good job here. However, there are endless threads where some cat asks like 50 questions about some spot that he is going to for a few months.
Then 6 months later, he hasn't even told us one spot to get a decent quesedilla with guacamole at, let alone one spot to swoop girls.
The beauty of this forum is someone asks questions about a place, people then chime in about their past experiences, then the person comes back and tells more info. This way we are constantly standing on each others shoulders.
So show some class and bust out some detailed Data Sheets when you come back.
2. Bring some detailed and specific Venue Data Sheets
Again, some do good here (your humble author included), but many times you get the "I swooped like 10 fly girls on my trip in whereeverthef*ckistan, it was mad easy, Yo!" And the cat doesn't even breakdown a single bar or nightclub, let alone which night is best.
I could understand if you are on some low-profile, top-secret tip, but I doubt any people like that are on the forum, and most of the cats on here have their mugs all over facebook, so that can't be the case.
Bring the noize with some restaurants, nightclubs, bars and Bases of Operations ( http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2005/09/g-m...se-of.html ). Best nights, best times, quality of girls? ratios? can you smoke there?, drugs there? closing time? etc. (If you are confused, use this as a guide: http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2010/05/bar...heets.html )
And for the cats out there that don't ever drink, break down some day Game spots.
Obviously, this forum is the dopest, but I think if we do more of both these things it will make it way fresher.
Thoughts?
