I love how every time I break out of my shell & comment about "something"...not one fricken person replies. Am I a thread killer w/o knowing it?

    Hey there! I don't know what's with no one commenting. I've run into that several times. I'm really hoping that it is not us, that's it's just that the thread ran out.

    Have a good weekend! I look forward to seeing more from you soon!

    I'm sorry you never get any replies. That just isn't right!

    What did you want to talk about?
  • Sometimes it is time of day.. There are a lot more people on the boards durring the standard business day. Hopefully you aren't too discouraged. Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get a reply to a post and other times it taes a few days. Occasionally you are left wondering if anyone can see your posts but you, but that is usually rare.

    Hopefully things will get better soon.

    i just spent a hafe hour talking to myself,
  • only a 1/2 hr? I talk to myself all the time. I tend to sit back and watch the action...instead of getting involved, which is why I don't post much. I've been so bored at work and in life that I came back here to see what was going on and to maybe "join in" on a topic. Right now I am dogsitting and the dogs are both fighting for position under my chair.
  • OOOOOOkaaaaaaay....I guess I'll just stay in the background. Goodnight,

    God, it breaks my heart when I post a topic and no one replies. lol Seriously though. No one ever seems to pay too much attention to my posts on existing topics. I love when I reply, then someone else says basically the same thing I just said, and everyone's like, "Oh, I agree with so and so!", and the so and so isn't me, it's the other person. :tongue:

    Feels good to vent.

    I've had many threads not answered. But I don't think it's anything personal, I mean, how can it be? No one really knows you personally. Don't be discouraged and please, please, please keep posting.

    Well, most of you don't know me...or remember me. But I'm back in the game (well, not really a game, but you know what I mean) come Monday. You'll be hearing lots from me. I like to talk about anything and everything and usually have an opinion on the same. lol So like it or not, prepare for the now, unemployed SAHM with nothing else to do. lol
  • Maybe I'm jealous. Haha. Man, I feel old. I'm just a private person in general. Get me going and I can be the life of the party.

    Bluehead, you just have to keep posting. I promise you won't always be a thread killer. :smile:
  • Thanks, will keep trying. Need to branch out and do this....see all of you soon....

    P.s Beer and chocolate is my downfall.

    Getting tired. May have to bring this up tomorrow for discussion.

    Thanks everyone.

    Dogs are staring at me to go to bed now....

    I think maybe we should change the title of this thread to "who killed the thread?"

    I did! :laugh:

    I used to bump some of my own topics :flowerforyou: . In the beginning, I used to find it frustrating. But I knew it had a lot to do with my weird posting times (different time zone), so my threads slided out of sight (top 20 or so are on the first page, the rest get there only if one posts in them or else you have to search for some keywords)

    so no, it isn't just you :tongue:

    This is so true Dew (oooh a poet that dont know it:wink: )

    I bump my threads for days before getting answers to my questions. At Midnight you are not going to find many MFPers up and posting. It is the kind of board that rocks M-F 7-6 pm then dies for the night.

    Weekends are hit and miss. During the winter it is loaded...........summer not so much.

    make a few friends and send them PMs that is what I do. OR I jump in the middle of a rocking thread and ask a question.

    Welcome to you and feel free to friend me and send PMs I will be happy to reply!!

  • I have had this happen too but people are much better here than on other boards I have been on. When I was pregnant I was on a pregnancy board and it felt like high school all over again. There were the "popular posters" and they were the only ones that got responses. I never took it personally because I decided my sparkling personality just might not translate when I type :bigsmile: Don't stop posting. :flowerforyou:
