MFP Thread "ghosting"

You know what really sucks? Being emotionally invested in a forum thread and then *poof* gone. Ghosted away. All that time and energy and witty, fun replies. Just gone. A waste of my emotional energy and time spent distracting myself from work.

/le sigh

    What gets me is when someone starts a thread and then we never hear from him/her again.

    Both, but especially people.

    Don't forget to seek validation!

    Pick me. Love me. Choose me.

    Only during work hours while I'm avoiding work.

    My threads come with dust and tumbleweeds. Nobody travels down those roads.

    Hmm I'll just keep my emotional investment to myself then. Including this very thread!

    I find it more annoying when an obvious troll post gets hundreds of serious responses. But then I miss them when they’re gone because they’re entertaining.
