4. People can sense when you are too NEEDY, and avoid your threads!
Edited on Sat Apr-02-05 03:22 AM by dicksteele
If you don't care as much, more people will feel comfortable offering responses.

ME, I'm Different! I get so few replies because:
MOST of my threads are nonsensical CRAP!

Wheeeee!

7. because you're not 'cool' enough
you're not 'popular' enough. which means you dont' post-whore enough and you don't flirt enough.

8. It's only because
most people have you on ignore.

Really, the only reason I don't have that problem is that I hardly ever start threads. That way I don't have to find out how unpopular I really am.

9. Your habit of hiding!
You just hide too well...If you'd come blather here in the Lounge more you'd get more attention!

Of course, that would require me to leave the computer more often, so....

11. I'm replying! If you notice, most get few replies. Mine, too.
But there is just so much going on here and so many people. It's not you, I promise, it's just impossible to keep up!:shrug:

13. Beecuzz it's a zoo here.

It moves really fast and unless you're an obsessive compulsive with hours and hours of spare time the odds are that you won't post as much as some do. Statistically, the more you post, the more responses you get.
I actually don't care if people respond to ME....it's about principles and not personalities. I don't post much. I read a lot.
By the time I've digested every thread that interests me they're on page eight. So be it.

And post to entertain yourself...you'll have more fun that way. I do. I'm my own biggest fan....and only fan...and that suits me just fine. Low on the radar and nobody attacks me...much.

Also, always assume that nobody will reply...then if they do you'll be shocked and/or pleasantly surprised.


And Hahahahahah.....don't be too needy....that was a hilarious reply by dick steele.

Never let them see you being needy!

26. Maybe your threads are cloaked?
I have never seen any of your threads until now...
But on the other hand, I am currently 1 for 1 in responding to them. But that's not good, because I can only go downhill from here!

31. You have threads?
Seriously, I haven't seen you around here in a long while. I assumed you just decided to delegate DU communications to your girlfriend.

32. Psst, I know why
Its a tiny part of the MASSIVE One World Order conspiracy which is being run by International Bankers, Knights Templars and Freemasons. And the Federal Government doesn't want you to know that.
