Sorry if I have.

(15,682 posts)it is probably not what you're posting. Could be when you're posting. An OP may fall off the front page in a matter of minutes when the traffic is at its highest. The same OP might get all kinds of attention posted the next morning.
On the other hand, user name means everything. But the good ones are already taken. You know what I mean? Take a look at the greatest page every day for a week. You'll recognize the good user names. Lol.

Thanks a lot, jwirr.

(19,326 posts)and everyone goes all "oooh that's so rad!!"
others can post awesome shit, and get nary a notice.
Actually, compared to some of the responses I have
had, getting ignored can be a blessing.
quinnox
(20,600 posts)post about pit bulls or abortion or some news story about a whacky way to raise kids, or just spice up your headlines on whatever you are posting about to be provocative and a bit attention grabbing, it isn't hard to do. If a thread has a dull headline or a dull sounding subject, most people won't even click on it in the first place.

(45,274 posts)Wait--I never had you on Ignore.
Come to think of it, I have no idea of you having done anything wrong.
However, I don't remember seeing any of your posts lately. Maybe that's why I didn't reply to any.

(60,010 posts)That's the secret right there.
But you have to hold it from first to last click, including any spell checking
and if your posts are too long, you could just fall ri........................
frazzled
(18,402 posts)Rarely get a response. Unless, of course, I speak out in favor of any aspect of gun control. Then they swarm like flies. Maybe try that: advocate reinstating the assault weapons bans. You'll get tons of response. But you won't like it.
ON EDIT: Here's what I do when I'm starting to feel invisible here: I say something I know will irk a certain contingency. It's like pinging the board to see if you're really there.

(11,417 posts)Say anything about we need gun control and just like flies attacking a dog turd before it cools down they are here.

(12,530 posts)Just kidding, jwirr. I sometimes feel the same way. Actually, sometimes I'll post something that I'm half proud of and it's kind of a bummer when no one answers. I hope you have a nice weekend.

Geez. It's mostly in the timing as others have said.

(24,096 posts)sometimes things speed along here really fast (not lately tho)
and if your thread name isn't controversial or attention getting,
then it is likely to drop out of site.
