Ever feel ignored here?

I was just wondering if I was the only one here that has ever felt that they posted in vain.

I' ll stop sobbing now and go on with life.

I heard this joke the other day.... A man and his duck walk into a drum shop.

Oh, sorry, Glen. I didn' t see you here. Did you say something?

Nah i don' t feel ignored here at all.... sometimes people make stupid posts that other people don' t want to read, so therefor they don' t reply
i' ve just learned so far to treat people as u would wanna be treated and everything will be alright

.....hmm, oh what?!

As a matter of fact I do!

BTW...I have a friend that lives in Mesquite.

*hug*

Yes..yes I do.

It' s very easy to get your thread passed up on this board because things move so damn fast around here. Because of that, when I start a thread I try to think of something interesting to say in the subject line. At least you know that way, someone is going to open the message, if not reply to it.

Plus, if you look at the forum and the subect titles, what ones catch your eye? I tend to skip over a lot of the titles that say " Everybody look here!" I almost always skip anything that says " NP" in the title, because there are a gazillion of those on this board, and if the title is really vague, I' ll usually skip it too.

I' ve found that if I sum up my point in the title rather than just saying " Question" , people tend to look and respond more, so I make a point of trying to give someone a clue about what they' re reading before they open my thread.

I typically prefer chiming into other people' s threads because this board already moves so damn fast. I only start my own thread when I have something I feel is important to say or have some sort of news I think people would be interested in hearing because I don' t want to add to the clutter. Ya know?

It has something to do with thread titles that aren' t appealing. I don' t open everyone, just the ones with catchy titles. Not saying to make inaccurate titles, cause then I' ll never look at any of your threads. But if you have a title " Look here," chances are people won' t look. Make it descriptive. Tell what' s in it.

Also if you post old or uninteresting info, i won' t look or respond either. Keep on keeping on.

Everything I post is usually ignored unless it concerns giving out my ftp for bootlegs...



Just kidding...It takes awhile to make friends here and I have made a few and this is basically the only board where I feel I can post anything about me or even my family and get support...Which reminds me that I still appreciate everyones prayers about my daughters surgery...She is doing great and I believe alot of that has to do with the amount of prayers....

Or, from my perpective, ya gotta fuckin be somebody on this board so yer thread doesn' t end up on page 14 by the end of the week.

Even an older timer like me, who, from within the first week this site originally hit the internet, gets shot down from time to time.

However, like rekless said, it also takes eye catching topics to get replys. Something with volume of interest.

In all seriousness...

One family.

One love.

Hugs all around.

(Except no hugs for Thel... he' s an ass-grabber. )

I love you guys and gals.

Hugs back to you all!

Hang in there Glen. There' s so many people posting here that a person can get lost in the shuffle.

Sometimes I do feel that there are your cliques going on around these parts. Maybe it' s just inside jokes that a few of us do not know about, therefore we " feel ignored" .

Hey now, you picked a name with Solitary in it, we were just honoring your privacy.

You have " solitary" in your username, for crying out loud!! Now if you were " Mr. Excitement Glen" , I' m sure things would be different.

Worse. Like Eeyore.

<---Now, THAT' S funny! You' re not an " older timer" and it' s been WAY more than " from time to time" . Methinks you' re suffering from revisionist history, though most here now wouldn' t know that since they' re newer (and you know it). Nice sentiment, though.

If you two have personal issues with each other still, please keep it off the board.

It' s not a personal issue at all, Mike. It just happens that I know the real history, as you well know, and I' m not a big fan of things that become history (AKA urban legends) just because they' re repeated frequently. This is one of those occurances. You can, of course, delete this if you want to, since you are now master of this board, but you' ll do so knowing I was right. It will be archived, though.

What would' ve been funny is if everyone ignored this post altogether.

Who in the hell are all you people??? Get out of my monitor... NOW!!!!!

Yup. I can' t remember the last time I read a topic like " EVERYONE READ THIS" , or " CHECK THIS OUT" .

Psst..newsflash..no one gives a damn who was here first, so you' d both be best served to let the tired old argument rest already. Let it go.

I' ve only been a member for a little while, but I post replies every now and again. I' ve only been recognized once for anything I' ve written in. I am a stubborn bastard, so I' ll keep typing. In closing, I would just like to say " Thank you, and San Dimas High School Football Rocks!!!"

So what is that ip/userpass? Just kidding

I' ve been around here for a few years under different names previous to this one, it takes a while before you get to know people (as i still am) and then you read what they say regardless of if it is catchy, I' m reading it because I' m interested in them or what they are thinking.

C' mon Jax, you KNOW that Who was on second. I Don' t Know was on third. And Don Mattingly was on first.

I am currently ignoring this post.

Hey, been there, dude! Just look at my attempt to get the word out about www.metaldisc.com !

You' re alright, man. Sometimes it feels like peeps aren' t paying attention, but like someone said, this merry-go-round spins fast. You just gotta hop on at the right time, and hold on tight! And don' t get dizzy...

Did that make any sense?

and if I do somehow get swindled into click on a topic that turns out to be total bullshit, I never bother reading anything from that user again. It' s nothing personal, it' s a time-saver.

So that explains it... You could at least answer my emails :) :) :)

I have retreated into my solitary shell

Yeah, I felt like that sometimes. And guess how I faced it? I just don' t post anymore! Except now.. err humm D' OH! Stupid forum addiction [:' (]

Sure... I think we all do from time to time...
I seem to just post stuff that already is posted, and somebody gets pissed about it.....
But you should not feel the way you do.... Just look at this friggin thread!!!

So just cus someone says one stupid thing they are black listed? That' s not a very fair policy, but you are the Godfather of the Forum so I am honored to be here on the day of your daughters wedding.
