in Chit-Chat
Ok so just out of curiousity I have noticed that if you post a topic in any other posting topic besides Chit Chat you really don't get the response from anyone. I was just wondering if someone can tell me why that is. I mean I wanted to know if now that I am working out at the gym with weights if my arm measurements should go up or down, cause I don't know anything about that stuff and like 1 person responded. Anyone have input on either of these matters I would appreciate it.

People respond really well to boobs. And that's usually found in the chit chat forums. So, if you are targeting a large audience, go with boobs.0

Traffic. Just traffic. All these trolling, sarcastic, "useless", mean, jaded, overexperienced, and incoragable people who everyone hates, usually post more in the chit chat section. This gets your thread bumped. This keeps topics getting SEEN, which gets the actual topics that people want answers to, answered.
So which is worse, getting ignored? or getting trolled a bit and then having your thread answered?
Something to think about for people who complain about the "meanies".0 -

A lot of people are bored with reading the same fitness/food related topics over and over. But there are the few that will take a topic and turn it into a playground. Ask a question about sugar, clean-eating, or lifting making you bulky and watch your thread grow like magic.
As far as your question that you didn't get a response for, it depends on your body fat level and your goals. If you are trying to cut body fat, then it should reduce. If you are trying to increase muscle, hopefull it will grow.0 -

right? Some give me fits of hysterical laughter for an entire day and then I get bummed when there's not another one as entertaining for a while....0 -
Was it an interesting topic.
Post something fun like if you arent paleo you are stupid and will die an early death. Then post a random graph. See what kind of responses you get then. Go on I dare you.0 -

I agree and since my job is boring and annoying I so need something to lift up my spirits sitting at this stupid desk all day. And my husband wonders why when i get home i cant sit for more than 5 minutes LOL---because I sit all damn day0 -
Many of the topics posted in the other topics have been addressed ad nauseum and it gets old answering the same question that was just answered five minutes earlier...and five minutes before that...and then five minutes before that...in fact it has been answere 1,000,000 times today and about a gazillion times altogether.
Also, there is a lot of traffic, so sometimes you have to bump your own thread to keep it on the first page of "recent topics". I don't actually click in any of the topic areas other than Recent Topics and My Topics...if it's not on the first page, I'm not going to notice it.0 -

Well I havent seen a topic that would answer my question or i wouldn't ask and I know that is the way it goes, I asked the lady at the gym and she gave me some advice so we see how it goes I think I have been doing really well and working hard at it0 -
Another thing... I usually just follow my friends into the threads they post in... and most just hang out in chit-chat.0

The other posts are for more serious stuff! People don't really respond well to serious stuff I posted a topic asking people to post their ab pics in the success stories forum about three weeks ago!! After several days, there was not a single response! I'll bet if you go there now and look for it, there'll still be not even one response to it! I posted the same topic here on the chit- chat forum and within minutes there were already several dozen responses!!0
