How far are you willing to go, to exlude people from WP?

Post Reply New Topic

of course not. I did

Yes, yes I do wish to destroy them. Them equating to you (yes, you).

aha, okay daniel,

YOUR question: DO you WISH at at all:

seriously: do you at al " WANT"

do you know the emotion of WILL:

i do not will: veryvery weak volition

The irony here is you now have a 6 page post Mozez

If you want your thread to keep getting attention, sometimes you have to keep bumping it or going back and responding to people. But you know, perhaps it was interesting to you but just not something anyone else wanted to discuss. Or, perhaps it has been discussed 100 times already and because you are new, you didn't know that.

Off cause you're right. I said earlier in the thread that I knew myrphy's law, and this post, that I felt was kind of wrong, would go on forever.

I've been around since 2006 and people that joined well after me sure as heck get a lot more attention than I do. In all honesty, it's extremely cliquey here if you ask me...

1 what an ego...how dare people not pay attention to me
2, oh no, this guys thread gets like 100 responses...so lets get rid of him
3 so what, you want them gone, so you can get all the responses? Well then that means you get to be excluded as well, after all, you opened the flood gates.

Sorry to bump this thread, mozes, I know you have mixed feelings about your topic, but I just really wanted to thank you, mitharotowen, sunshower and neshamaruach for your kind words of appreciation. I only read them today, and they come at the right time because I'm mourning the loss of my mother 4 days ago.

I only care about the topic being discussed and whether it interests me and whether I have some knowledge on the subject, no social games and other BS.

I haven't noticed that :/

you can always bump your thread if need be.

^^ Seconded. I have been here since July 2004 (only a month after WP was created), and I have had that same issue.

Not all attention is detectable though. If comments are entertaining, insightful, amusing, or interesting, to someone, but that someone has nothing to contribute, should they spam up the board with laughing smileys (emoticons) and "me too" comments in every instance?

A few here and there are fine, but if everyone posted these things every time they felt them, then it'd get way over the top.

So while most people would do these things some of the time, I expect most people avoid doing it too much of the time (as evidenced by the fact that even though most posters do these things some of the time, the boards are not "spammed" to choking point with meaingless emoticon and me-too posts).

If reading is attention, then plenty of posters get more attention than they could guess. I've seen posters convinced no one even notices or knows who they are, but I've been aware of them for a long time, tend to read their posts, and appreciate their participation.

If no one makes a song and dance it does not necessarily follow that no one has noticed or appreciated what was posted.

For instance, here is an example of attention I did not know I had.

Do you mean you wish to destroy me, personally?

Now how nice is that?

I did not even know you'd noticed me Danielismyname, much less cared so much. It gives me warm fuzzies to think of you wishing my destruction, you adorable cold headed Australian.

I feel so honored to receive this unexpected recognition and attention; I'd like to thank my family, the fans (all imaginary) who stuck by me when I thought no one read my posts, the moderators who protected my paper thin ego from personal attacks, and of course Alex who made all this possible.

now, what should i do,
nice read, but i have nothing to say,
should i tell her, shouldn't i ...?

never seen pandd before, well...

that was a cool post pandd (but arggh, i did understand your point and now i'm not just reading, and i still haven't got anything to say, argggghhhh ....)

For me, I don't really pay attention to who the OP is or socialize with other members who are my "favorites"...I use to with members here I got along with but I realized it disrupted some threads.

I sometimes feel the same way even though I'm a vet and it's usually because I respond to posts rather than make a post. One reason I think most of mine sink is I get a bit wordy and have trouble organizing my thoughts into a sequential order that is lucid. I've had this problem for a long time. So it doesn't come as a surprise when mine sink.

I do try and look at threads that're sinking as well as the ones that're already up. There are so many members here that it's hard to keep track of the very interesting threads. Usually I respond to one that hits close to home or makes sense to me.

New, but...

+1

It's not like I'm (generally) here to "socalize"... (bleaachhh). I'm here to exchange relevent information.

That said... Hi Miss... like your Handle..

Pwnage!
