I've noticed that when I respond to posts or directly to posters nobody posts back, most times they jump over my post to write to someone down the line.
Not every time, some very nice DU members have said hello to me.
I'm just wondering why I get ignored by so many.

6. I'm sorry, did you say something? |

Couldn't resist. I wonder if it's because this place moves so fast. *shrug* I suspect people are reading a whole lot more than they answer. I know I do. I wouldn't take it personally.

I don't think I ever welcomed you to DU. So, welcome and don't take it personally. I used to, now I just post along anyway. Getting responses is always fun but it doesn't happen all the time for me either. Big board.

the same exact things happen to me. Don't worry, it is NOT personal. Just so much message traffic. It's a good thing that DU is so popular, but those are the side effects.

I could have sworn I heard a post around here somewhere.
:)
Don't sweat it. Threads move pretty fast, and it's not uncommon for posts or entire threads to get lost in the flow.

oh, nevermind...
KIDDING!
It will take a while for you to get acquainted with a group of DUer's with whom you will have long meaningless conversations. We like you. Really we do.
PS. See, we're already warming up to you...

30. Seems the surest way to get responses |
|
Is make people mad. Not that I'd recommend it, since you can be reprimanded if you are seen as flame baiting, but there have been a few times where I've inadvertently posted something that got a lot of folks really worked up here. WOW - talk about responses! It does go to show that there are a lot of fiery activists on guard here, though.
And hello Debi!

59. We have two strays living in the shed at the back of our property. |
|
They show up every morning and evening to eat and then go kill mice and frogs and disembowel them on my patio to show their love for me! So sweet kitties!
I'm allergic so they can't come in - but I can talk to them at least.

...didn't talk to me for most of last week. I almost posted a thread with the heading "AM I ON EVERYONE'S 'IGNORE' LIST?" but I just rode it out. There are phases like that sometimes.

I think most of the threads are ignored. Here's your chance, go start a thread in one of the GD forums and you will get some responses. Take your moment of glory.

Enjoy DU - some times folks will only reply to your posts if they want to pick a fight. No replies may simply mean agreement.
You are not invisible, but some of us are blind from time to time!

55. The first thread I posted... |
|
...broke a 100 replies and was put on the homepage. It seemed like everyone else and me just laughed and laughed and laughed!
Well, now that I think about it, mostly just they laughed, and I was wonderin' what in tarnation was so funny. "Big City" humor, I guess.
On the other hand, there were plenty of times when nuthin' happened. Just yesterday, I put a little bit of work into a thread called "and now, a debate in CAPTIONS," and hardly anyone even noticed it.
Ya cain't really tell what'll be a "hit" and what won't. I have enough fun just being here for it not to matter that much, though.
It was fun reading through this thread of yers, for example, so thanks fer that and take care.
