The most interesting part in mones is the quest of information, the time you spend to experience them, mix differents products, make stupid mistakes, overdose sometimes...ask for information on the forum, persist, try again...and then eventually understand how it should work...and the fun begins, and you can enjoy the game like if it was a well deserved reward....

And by making mistakes, you may any time, find something new that nobody has ever experienced before...

But in any case, you keep eternally looking for other molecules, new products to test, cause we like adventures, challenges...we like experiments and we are all looking for a way to improve our lives.

I mean there is a learning cycle and you need to be devoted to it...it should be a kind of passion that you are sharing with the members of the forum.

Now, we can give away all the information for free to anyone that just steps by, takes it effortlessly and then leaves...But I am not sure what would be the point...Like in any forum where the registration is not mandatory, I guess there is far more lurkers that are reading it and would never register, nor participate to the forum.

Isn't it more important to have maybe less people, but more devoted, with the same passion ? And look at it the other way : when the information is spread in different places in the forum like it is now, people would spend more time browsing thru the posts...

I was just throwing my opinion but the idea is great of course.

Hm why don't we make a Wiki Page?

http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/dokuwiki

Could be simply copied to the webserver of Pherotruth and then edited.
The only thing that it lacks is a user-management (if I can see that right), but it looks not too bad if you ask me.

It would be a lot of work to fill it naturally, but I think if everyone who can helps a little, it will grow as fast as the forum does

just my 2 cents

The advantage of a curation of best posts is that it brings newcomers up to speed with the history of the forum as a living entity animated by its own spirit. Whereas a Wiki (if written in the voice of wikipedia) - because of the need for objectivity, and deprecation of the authentic and personal voice, drains all colour and richness leaving only disembodied facts. I don't doubt that both will be a decent amount of work (work for which I simply cannot volunteer given other commitments), but I do think they would complement each other, rather than a Wiki being a substitute for best posts.

Preserving to an extent tradition is one way for the forum to retain its own unique character. Time and time again one sees once-superb forums becoming victims of their own success. Newcomers who want attention end up drowning out more experienced voices who are not as shrill. What starts out as a tentative idea becomes codified as dogma, and new growth around that is stifled.

There's a pheromone wiki at http://hackingthehive.com/wiki/main/pheromones/ that covers roughly a dozen phero molecules and a dozen products. It's growing pretty quickly. Only site members can edit the wiki, but anyone can view it.
