I kill threads!

[annik]

I've noticed this happening a lot. There will have been a lot of back and forth on a thread and I'll wonder in in my little size 6's and add my thoughts then bang its dead! This even happens with my own topics.

Just for balance I've taken to resurrecting threads from a while back

Seriously though I think I come here at the wrong times. I'll find that I'll start a topic and there won't be much movement then I'll be gone for a while (you know sleeping and such) then when I'm back everyone's been chatting and answering and I find it a bit overwhelming trying to answer everyone or I do and the topic dies (or everyone's already talked out).

Hmm

Happens to everyone.

Happens to me sometimes but I don't mind. Many reasons why they don't respond, I think the most common is that they can't offer advice or something with the topic.

Hehehe, don't worry about it XD
It just happens sometimes lol, nothing to do with you specifically XD

Well ... Considering the amount of posts you've made in a very short time, some (or more) of the threads you participate in are bound to die. I only focus on a few threads at a time; more than that becomes too much for me. If everyone were to keep all threads alive, I'd probably be too overwhelmed to ever log in.

 

[annik]

Yeah I spent a lot of time in the games section I think thats why my post count is pretty high!

I mean I'm sure it does happen to everyone. I guess what upsets me is that my topics seem to get loads of replies when I'm not around to answer them then I find it hard to reply and I feel bad about that.

It's those darn Americans, you know. When Europe goes to bed, that's when they log on and start replying to everything. Don't feel bad; you can't control time zones.

^ Hey

Lol when I don't get a response I post it in chat and then feel like someone read it. Thus I never kill threads because I FORCE people to look at it.

I am so violent.

I've not ventured into chat yet.

I think maybe I need to loose the guilt! I've not been on many forums and I just feel so bad if I don't at least keep up with topics I started. Its funny really because I'm no good with UK places either because I'm up too late and everyone else then is sleeping.

You feel responsibility to certain threads? I don't feel that I just post wherever I feel like it and I only hang onto a thread if the topic is interesting or if I am waiting for a certain response from a person, or if a person that interests me has posted in it.

Apparently you must interest me on some level because I came back to this thread

 

[annik]

You feel responsibility to certain threads?

Yeah I do but only if its one I started. If I just posted in it I'll check back a few times to see if maybe someone replied to what I said but if it starts off in another direction I'll stop checking it.

Hmm

Understand this, but I learned early on not to respond to "everyone". I only respond to things I feel require correction haha.

That's good thinking. I dread though if say 4 people reply to something and I only need to respond to 3 of them. I just feel bad, like I'm ignoring that other person. Maybe I need to be less sensitive. Only I know when I've been in that situation myself (granted in a different situation) I've felt a bit left out.

Come and chat, especially during the weekends you'll find us up at weird assed hours. It's where all the cool kids hang out!
(currently chat 2 is used more than chat 1, but check em both out if it seems one or the other is dead)

I even troll a little less there than I do here... Sorta. I'd like to get to know you more since your posts seem interesting, but my poor attention span can't handle the forums all the time.

Maybe just respond with a or other positive emoticon/acro

Hmm I get called things like interesting and intriguing and things a lot. Personally I think its code for weird but I don't really mind either way!

As for chat, I might poke my head in...one day!

Maybe just respond with a or other positive emoticon/acro

That's an idea. To be honest what I do is just keep checking back till there's more than one person I won't be answering then I reply so I don't feel like I'm singling someone out. Bit mad I know!
