How come I make a thread and get 4 little responses, but when someone else

[Deja Q]

posts about the SAME topic, they get 50, 100, or more?!

What am I doing wrong?

Do I have 60,000 people with me on ignore?

[hippiechick]

1. No, you're just not cool enough.

:P

[Deja Q]

2. LOL!

Quite possibly. :D

[MissMillie]

3. not 60,000

but apparently 59,996

:evilgrin:

[lenidog]

4. I wish I knew the answer to that myself

I also have noticed that I get more responses to my posts in the evening than I do in the afternoon or morning.

[Tsiyu]

5. It's your username

That whole "Hypno" thing makes em wonder if they will be HIP-Mo-TIZED and turned into toadies...:shrug:

[no name no slogan]

6. I hear ya brutha

I have the same problem. I just figured it was because everybody hates me. :o

[BlueIris]

7. Well, I don't think it's quite 60,000...

but it might be 45,000, 48,000. Somewhere in there.

[Double T]

8. Now you're giving me DU paranoia!

9. (post removed by author)

Whoops! I meant to go post this in chickenscratching's thread entitled "My threads get more replies than HypnoToad's".

[Aristus]

10. Join the club, HypnoToad.

'Aristus' is where threads go to die..... :(



B-)

15. Good morning, Aristus...

I usually respond to your threads, kiddo...my favorite phlebotomist... And what am I? Chopped liver? Hmmmmmmm?

Hope you're having a lovely day!

[Aristus]

35. You too, CalPeg!

:-)

And, yes, you do respond to my threads. Thanks! ;-)B-):hi:

11. You have to use the latest key words

Pitbulls, songbirds, Tom Cruise, Kleeb, atheist, and anything sex related. Try to combine them in new and provocative ways. For instance, if you start a thread about how Tom Cruise's atheist Pitbull has been breeding with the songbird's in Kleeb's yard, you'll get an amazing amount of posts. Probably a PM from Skinner, too, but the point is, the thread will have a post count through the roof.

12. Snerk.

Don't forget "The Best 5" of anything.

[jandrok]

13. Make sure you add in something about the Pope.

And his pointy hats.

14. well, it was an inside rumor back then.

Now it is an official main-stream story, with Job's seal of approval.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Hey, HypnoToad!

I might not always respond to your threads, but I nearly always read them...I'll start responding; I want you to be happy here!

No, I really mean it...

[Deja Q]

29. Thanks! (to all!)

Great responses, always gave me a smile for one reason or another! :D

(no need to respond, of course! I'm just in my egocentric mode. :D )

[Arianrhod]

18. No one ever answers my posts.

I hardly even get a comment back when I respond to a post. . . .

[liontamer]

25. don't feel bad

same thing happens to me all the time

[Arianrhod]

26. Oh well

Guess I'm just not entertaining.

[liontamer]

27. or maybe you're so eloquent

that your posts don't require commentary :)

[Arianrhod]

33. riiiiiiiiight.

</dr evil mode>

:D

[Deja Q]

30. It's a universal thing...

And I can be so self-absorbed not to realize it at times. :D

[PollyH]

34. Posts

But I read them.

[Hugin]

19. I'm sorry... Did you say something?

I had the same trouble until I took the "Jara Sang" pledge to
only reply to threads started by others.

[GOPBasher]

20. I'm sorry.

:hug:

[soleft]

21. I don't just kill threads, I kill entire forums

That's why I haven't been posting much in the lounge, I've got to think of others.

[sundog]

22. it's your cologne hypno

:P

:pals:

[lpbk2713]

23. Watch what happens here.....

Think you don't get no respect?


Just see if I don't kill the whole damn thread.

[5thGenDemocrat]

24. Here's one to ponder

I'm up here in Saginaw, giving away free food and beer on the 18th, have had a thread up since January regarding these free potables and the attendant party, and the thread's only up to 80 posts. And half of those are mine.
John
Oh, well -- more beer for us.
It is ten days, 23 hours and 16 minutes to FUNDAY. Maybe we'll give away a free car, too.

[billyskank]

31. How do I become eligible for a free car?

:)

[norml]

32. Payola

Has no one told you about the free gifts you're supposed to give out to those who respond to your threads?

[Redstone]

36. It's your breath.

Didn't want to have to be the one to tell you, but...

[Gelliebeans]

37. I just replied in your cat thread
