Do you worry that you might be a thread killer?

You need a cute Avatar. People here form perceptions from the avatar. A while ago Tinky said she thought I was bad/evil when I had the walking boss from Cool Hand Luke (sunglasses) as my Avvie. So I changed it back. Hellznrg had a pic of him staring at the camera which had an aggressive feel to it. Hale_bopp used to have the cutesy drawing of her with a wand.

Did you see the responses to Willow when she joined and put a hot chick (herself? - not my type -lol) as an avatar?

You would think planeteers leaning more towards Vulcan type personalities would not be sucked in by a small jpeg but consider what is written in posts, but I don't think it happens that way.

I bet if you had a friendly face in your avatar (like this for example) you would get different types of responses.


I think its an interesting experiment.

That's nasty, but also aspies do often say what they think, not always with the intention to hurt, especially young people.

For me, I might reply more to people that are visualy recognisable (those who post their picture, have a clear and personal avatar that doesn't change too often, or a username that gives a visual picture and doesn't sound too much like another one (like I might not be able to distinguish 'Thyme' and 'Ticker' if I have not explicitly concentrated on it), or people that post their own art, or people that write in a way that evokes visual images) or people that post in the few threads I always visit (like this one, post a pic, music-showcase, the ex-dino-café and a few random topics)

I'm also unable to read stuff without paragraphes, or not enough white space or an explanation that is too verbal.




I never noticed that it was a fashion for women on wp to act lovely...
Yeah, when we put an effort writing it's anoying when people don't reply, maybe we can comfort ourselves that some people have read it and are inspired but didn't actually write a post back?


that's funny, i like your thoughts on it, it is actually a painting of mine, you can see it on my webpage if you click on the icon with a profile of a woman and the word 'ambigue' under it.
the idea was indeed showing a surface that was ripped showing the inside. this created the idea of two different levels for me. technically i observed trees to paint this.

When you post, do you tick the third box underneath, "Attach signature"? I keep having to do that for some reason since I changed my username.

Didn't you know that Thyme is our pal, the ninja kitten herself, Bizarre?

goodmorning MerryBerry-starr !

(i'm sorry to have posted so much posts in this thread, but maybe it counts as a different thread killing technique? it might work ...)



Oh Thyme, is that true ? no, i didn't know, hi Thyme, aren't you so very bizarre today ?

Good morning Lemon! I have just been catching up with the posts in this thread, your conversation with Ticker is very interesting...and we had a visit from Werbert Himself...bows head in honour

Having trouble with technology?

If you go to
> "My Account"
> Edit Profile
scoll down to where you can select "yes" or "no" to various options

click yes to the option for attaching your signature.

And while we are talking about avatars, I always liked your Maenad

edit - PS - now I see your current avatar is a reference to your previous incarnation. Took me a while

i think Bazza is ignoring me

Lemon you're website seems to be down at the moment.

no - I was trying to look at your web site first, but it is not loading.

- I went to get the URL http://sarahzamora.canalblog.com/ to drop in here, and now it does load.

.....

stay tuned

edit
seems to be very slow. Are they photos of you?

I just realised the time - 6:45 pm here - I have to go.

ttfn

Always



Thanks! How do you get to know all this teccy stuff...



O'RLY? I like her too. Maybe she'll make another appearance. She's warming up on the old Pan-pipes



Yes, I'm going to have a look at your website again too Lemon. Everyone talking about it has reminded me. I love your art.

(Why is it that by the time I've posted there are lots of new posts....you need faster fingers MerryBerry!)

I'm sorry to hear this Ticker, that you have been harrassed...it is bad, for a site that is supposed to be supportive. was it by the youngsters? I tend to put it down to boisterousness sometimes, but it can be hurtful. You may find it a more pleasant experience posting in this forum, although sometimes it is a little quiet. I think there is a more tolerant attitude here, that's the feeling I get anyway. The topics move more slowly and people really listen to each other.

One way to find out

the thread is growing so popular MerryBerry, we must be doing something wrong





yeah Bazza, it's me in the pics, thanks for the compliment, be carefull with your hart though -i'm happily married-
don't know what can be wrong with the website, it's only a blog, not under my control, i can't see anything going wrong here, sorry

Don't worry Lemon - quick post from me should finish it off. I've killed at least 2 threads recently

I kill more than you, watch
