Seems like forever since I posted here. It all started when I went to night shift late last year. After getting back on days, it seemed like I no longer had time for baiting. I used to spend lots of hours on it, but it seems like I don't have time to do it anymore. What the hell happened? More importantly, how do I get the bug back? I guess a trip to "Surplus letters" and dive back in........
Any suggestions? |

I went through a similar spell recently when I was just too busy and all the problems with the bot attacks just kept me off Eater, and hence baiting (although the 2 do not need to go together necessarily).
Anyway, I decided to focus on quality vs. quantity. Pick lads who seem especially annoying and then go after them with a vengeance. I'm also not baiting with an eye towards publishing the baits anymore. Just personal satisfaction. Keeping up with the "Joneses" on Eater can be daunting. |

I find the easiest way is to just do as JM said- pick one or two lads and really invest some time with them. Don't worry about trying to bait a million lads. Keep it simple. I find that helps prevent burnout as well. |

We all have to take a break sometimes Harry, I have a 4 month enforced one coming up fairly soon.
Nice to see you back. Grab a lad or two and you'll be bitten again before you know it! |

I go through spurts with real life getting in the way too. I find what gets me back into it is to send $100 to a lad and then realize I was scammed... no wait... not right...
I find what gets me back into it is to go over to Scamwarners and read some of the stories people post there.
I also take the opposite approach, bait a ton at a time and don't invest too much time in any of them. I can just toss of a quick e-mail to a lad from the blackberry while I am on the exercise bike if it is a simple bait. If it is too complex the berry is not good for that.
Since my 08 resolution is to get in better shape I'll be spending a lot of time on the bike, hence more time baiting. It works out for everyone... well except the lads |

Hi Harry. I've missed you but its great to see you back. Shift changes suck more than jet lag. You need two things. Strong coffee and eager lads. I've been drinking less coffee lately but making it twice as strong. It helps with the shorter nights. As far as lads go, it may be time to restock those guestbooks if you are not on the shuttle. |

HEY! all this talk about kicking me is a bannable offense! Everyone knows that I like to be tied up with tight leather and strapped to the bed before any kinky kicking takes place.

How about if we tell you that we've added whole new contests, new feats of daring, brand new ways to get tatoos, free giveaways, and losts more parties!!?? Would that convince you to start rebaiting? No?
Well, then, the heck with you! hehehe |

Hi Harry! Welcome back!
Habits, its all about habits. You got out of the habit of baiting. It will come back. When you have baited a lad for a long time it's annoying to think about starting a whole new bait from scratch. Finding the energy is hard. So, my recommendation to you is to jump in on someone else's bait that's already at the lad is well-hooked stage. I'm sure plenty of people around here would be glad to have you join in. (There's the busy bee bait, the Faxxx forum, etc.) |

Harry, after taking a leave of absence I am back too, although I think mine was a bit longer.
Start with a goal, give yourself X emails to get the lad to give you some kind of pic, make a game of the game. Then go for a safari of some type, shorter, for a goal, is better, but the longer the more interesting. See if you can get the lad to travel 100k, then 250k, etc, till he lands at Dulles/Miday/LAX to get arrested.
If that doesn't work, then beat the son by all means. |

Nooooooooo don't beat Radden
It's good to see you back Harry. Why not get back into it with a good old love bait? |

Welcome back Harry. It's like riding a bike. Just hop on, start pedaling and it will all come back to you.
I am also going to suggest a joint bait. If a "good old love bait" sound appealing, there is a new stickie in the Love Bait section that may be helpful. |

OK then.......it's all sorted.
1- Beat Radden
2- Look for a love bait
3- Beat Radden
4- Jump right back in
5- Beat Radden
Thanks for all the replies. Now I feel like I never left. I only have one last question.........How did Lotta and PRSGG survive without my stunning good looks and terribly funny replies on here?
@Lotta, I'm sorry but the overwhelming majority of respondents wanted Radden's butt kicked, so I had no choice. |

Isn't it your stunning funny looks and terribly good replies?
While I can't speak for Lotta, I somehow managed to survive by getting engaged to three lads. Alas, two of them have recently ran away screaming which shows they are not complete idiots. |

Welcome back HB, I have been advised against beating the kids because they are the ones who will choose my nursing home!
@ everyone, JM is the one who kept me connected during the attack. Thanks mate and welcome back.
