Suggestion

[hdavidf309]

Even though this suggestion does not reflect on the site itself necessarily, I feel I need to bring it up. I came here with open arms trying to find a forum that had people talking to me, discussing things, and giving replies. Seems like not many people really care about what I have to offer them, show them, OR tell them...and I will tell you straight out that I feel that I have ALOT to offer, even if it is just my pictures. I feel like it is pointless to try and make friends, and post new things on here when no one cares. I have posted several things in the short period I have been on here, and since very little effort to even reply to most of them has been made, i feel like "whats the point"....so theres my question- Whats the point, and also what can I do to get more responses, ect..?? I like the forum/site alot and it is very nice and elaborate and professional and want to stay here happily. People have said "ask alot of questions" and/or "post alot", but I have and to no avail. Please help me! Thank you for taking the time to read this and I will be hearing from you soon, I hope!

i think you are taking this a little too personally. i have seen many people, including myself, responding to your threads. you may see that there are thousands of members signed up here, but as you hang out a little, you will see that only a handful of those actually reply. there are always people here that are willing to help, but i think some members (for whatever reason) that see the same questions over and over again just don't feel like responding. this forum is full of helpful information on previous threads as well. if you have a general question, more than likely it's been asked before. you just have to do a little digging around. if the question is more specific, more people are likely to reply. that's nothing against you in any way, because i went through the same thing. i always recommend doing your research on here first, and then if you can't find the answer, ask away. i hope you hang around, and if you do, you will see there are a lot of great people here with a lot of experience to share.

I'll give it a shot....i may be taking it a little too far, but I have put up a classified post(no reply) and several posts asking ?s. I just wish i got more answers...lots of people viewing my posts, so why no answers- ya know?! Anyway, thanx for the advise and I hope to be more happy in the future

I understand how you feel at times too about posting here. I know there are some posts that don't get answered for the simple reasons as they have answered them so many times even if yours are unique and you can't find answers using the search feature.

On a side note its nice to see someone close to where I live.

A lot of times as well if you see a lot of hits, but no replies it might be that the people who are looking at the post have the same question, but no answer. For example, I look at a lot of the name that morph type of posts because I just like looking at the animals. However, I really suck at actually guessing what it is. I am not about to reply if I don't know because I don't want to be giving out wrong information. Don't take it too personally. Shawn is right. The number of active posters vs. the number of members is quite different.
