Check in..all those DUers who feel ignored

[cally]

I'm OK with pissing most Duers off, but that most of posts are just ignored....Aaaargh. So let me know that I'm not alone...please.

[Guaranteed]

1. I just post to see myself type.

:)

Works pretty good, too.

[MikeG]

2. Use more cowbell in your posts.

[Richard Steele]

9. I'm not good with HTML; I can't add cowbell!

I think alot of people are leery of my username, and it reduces potential responses.

I get good responses when I post something useful, which is rare. Most of my posts are just stupid 3am nonsense anyway.

If I get a 25% response rate when my posts are 90% CRAP, I'm actually doing quite well, right?

[wryter2000]

3. Well,

I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

[madison2000]

4. you're not alone

I've been feeling the same way this afternoon.

[Discord]

35. reply.

:evilgrin:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. You're not ignored

I am DeposeTheBoyKing, queen of the ignored! :hurts:

[madison2000]

8. I was just going to ignore that

but then I'd be proving your point!

[Bok_Tukalo]

6. We are merely particles on the event horizon

of the Attention Singularities which reside in the center of the Lounge; eventually fated to lose all our attention mass, forever falling to page three.

[nytemare]

7. A group hug!

:grouphug: No ignoring here!!! Not allowed!

[madison2000]

10. Maybe we should start a DU Group for the Ignored

so everyone can officially ignore us!

[no name no slogan]

30. I thought about starting a threadkillers group

Seems I'm always the last one 88% of the time. Hmmmm, maybe I'll float this around...

[GalleryGod]

11. #3 for Moi!

:shrug:

[Cannikin]

12. rarely..and I weep.

well, maybe not.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

13. Sometimes I get replies from that "name removed" character

S/he just posts the same thing - something about reviewing the message board rules. :)

Anyway, I think for most DUers the majority of their posts won't get replies - I wouldn't take it personally.

[BikeWriter]

14. I post for the exercise, and it keeps the dust off my keys.

[n2mark]

15. Sometimes I get responses

Many of my responses are quite stupid (when I read them the next day I'm embarrasesed) but quite frequently someone responds to let me know this, yet sometimes remarks are acceptable from others. If I post four issues a day, two of the issues receives responses. I am not in the in group. There is a group the is clickish but I think that is because they have been here for so long.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

16. *blinks*

cally, i read your posts! i'm just quiet most of the time :)

On a side note, people never seem to respond to my political/serious threads. The only time I get a response is when I post in the lounge about the Red Sox sucking or something like that.

*shrug*

[cally]

18. I promise to respond to a political post

I'm assuming I'm not on vacation but I will try. You're about to head to college and just let the real LPFF go. Whatever you say, I'll support you.

[madison2000]

17. i post to keep my fingers from atrophy

[Aristus]

19. I can't get arrested here tonight.

Plus, JimmyJazz has gone to bed, and she's the most frequent replyer to my posts. :(

[progmom]

20. what are you talking about?

now i am going to have to go find all the threads you posted on!

[Aristus]

21. Take your time.

I'll wait. :-)

[progmom]

23. Ok, do you feel less ignored now?

:hi:

[progmom]

24. ....and now *I* feel ignored!

:(

[elshiva]

25. I loves ya progmom!

[progmom]

26. back atcha, elshiva!

:hi:

[elshiva]

27. Thank you!

:yourock:

[elshiva]

22. Ignored most of the time.

But I post thank you posts most of the time...

[Zuni]

28. I almost always reply

because most of my posts sink

[elshiva]

29. Thank you for replying!

[Aristus]

31. Sorry, progmom. I was watching "House".

:loveya: I no longer feel ignored.:-)

[progmom]

38. excellent.

I would hate for you to feel that way. :)

[hickman1937]

32. Ah but on those rare instances when you've logged off, but

the next day checked My posts, and someone talked back!

[tammywammy]

33. Me too,

but I got a few responses yesterday. I'm new, so I figured that's why.

[hickman1937]

36. I still laugh every time I see your user name.

I said it before, and I'm saying it again, welcome to DU.:dem: :toast:

[tammywammy]

37. Thanks, I'm horrible with usernames

That's why I was a lurker for so long, I couldn't think of anything good. So I figured I'd go with this, it's easy for me to remember.

[Discord]

34. rarely get responses.

generally only when I post flamebait can I regualrly get some.

But I'm new still so I don't take offense to it.


On a positive note...

I did get my first century thread last week.

It's a start!

:party:

[Brewman_Jax]

39. Over here

I posted a link to a funny spoof video short, and it dropped faster than bad transmission. :(

Maybe I should post flames, but I spend too much time away from the computer in the evening to fight blog battles. :shrug:

Maybe I shouldn't worry about it and have some coffee. :P

I'll figure it out. :think:

[madison2000]

40. ..

:hi:

[Brewman_Jax]

41. Thanks

[Lavender Brown]

46. Some people can't see videos and stuff like that

If they're at work. They mess up my computer so I can never click on them. :hi:

[SarahB]

42. I never get any responses.

Well, that's not entirely true ;), but actually for more than a year, I rarely got any responses around here. Thankfully, I do now, but I felt really out of place for a long time. :hug:

[flvegan]

43. I'm a threadkiller and my orig posts race to the bottom of the page.

At least I'm in good company, I guess.

[Evergreen Emerald]

44. I was deleted!

Apparently my response to a certain person on a contentious Shaivo thread warranted deletion! And I thought no one read my posts!

I am so ashamed.

[Theres-a]

45. I even got ignored when I reached 300 posts.

[Theres-a]

55. Or 400. (sighs)

[wideopen]

47. I'm new so

I kind of expect to be ignored to a certain extent,but it seems my well thought, intelligent posts are ignored but my dipshit posts get replies. BTW, can someone please tell me what the hell "n/t" means?

[bellinghambell]

49. political gays and lesbians on this site

I'm looking for gays and lesbians on this site to chat with
about politics and other stuff like what they think about the
forwarding of gay and lesbian marraige and how hard to push
that issue.  

[wideopen]

51. I think there

are many gay/les here and they,as well as others, have discussed that issue in the past.

[progmom]

52. you might try this forum

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=221

[wideopen]

53. thank you

I had no idea how where to send him/her.

[GOPBasher]

48. I get them about 25% of the time.

When I post flamebait I get responses a lot more.

[tsakshaug]

50. I kill threads

and my posts sink like cement

[progmom]

54. I couldn't let this one go

:hi:
