Nomen nescio Posted October 12, 2004 You post something important to you and thought is attention worthy…. . . It took you quiet a while to compose your topic….. . . you are anxious to read what other nomads think of the issue you you laid for discussion and look forward to reciprocate wit them.. . . But... . . no one replied to your topic… . . You watch your topic slowly dwindle,,,, . . and dwindle . . and dwindles to the next page.. I would like to know how you would feel if that happened to you…… Angry? .. .. Disappointed? .. .. Pissed? For me.. I’d feel like rounding up those online and give them some real good a$$ whooping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamante Posted October 12, 2004 talk about being obsessive..u ever tried anger management courses ...just jokin luv i think i would develop some kinda depressive disorder if people ignored my posts b-cuz 1. a good manicure ruined ( typing really isnt doing any good 4 my nails) 2. read the above 3. relieves my boredom at work (have sumthing to look forward to than a dull coffee break) besides its a great way of getting to know which nomad pisses you off and which ones you share the same point of view with on the other hand sumtimes the laziness gets the better of me...replying baad dhahday maahanee, even clickin the mouse is too much to ask! so u can say im guilty of ignoring the odd post or two anyways that my two cents...toodledoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mutakalim Posted October 12, 2004 Actually, I would not desire that most people reply to my threads. The replies are often a bane and not a boon. Thusly insofar as the thread is read I am satisfied. With Salaams PK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Salaams PK hummm.. thats probably why 90% of your posts are actually replies to a topic.. not a topic by its own... on the other hand sumtimes the laziness gets the better of me...replying baad dhahday maahanee, even clickin the mouse is too much to ask! so u can say im guilty of ignoring the odd post or two I agree with you,,, I sometimes type a reply to a thread and decide to cancel it out at the last minute,,, mostly that’s caused by the quality of the topic or the poster… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality Check Posted October 12, 2004 I would say no one's opinion is worth more than your own. Besides, nowadays, people's attention span is quite shot. I wouldn't expect that much outta people, unless you had to go all out to grab and hold their attention by tailoring to their lack of attentiveness. Or maybe you should just get a life?

Thusly insofar as the thread is read I am satisfied. If that's the case then it's maybe good to have a counter for number of visitors... I mean so that one knows if someone actually bothered to open the topic or not. I'm new to this forum so I'm not that familiar yet with the system, if there is already a function like the one I just suggested then pls just ignore. I have a question though, should you post topics b/c you find it interesting or b/c you think it'll be interesting to other ppl and therefore sharing it has a purpose. And maybe depending on why you posted a topic (referring to my question above) you will react differently if no one replies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted October 12, 2004 Always add the following to your post if you need replies. "what are your thoughts on this, nomads". Even if it is boring topic, some nomads will be decent enough to tell you to get a life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutakalim Posted October 13, 2004 Danger: It is true that the majority of my posts are replies to threads. You see I think I like taunting those who lack an academic conscience (i.e. plagiarism). Would'nt you? Go figure! Elysian: I do not think one should post topics either because one finds it interesting or because one thinks that others will find it intriguing. I post topics that are, forsooth, weighty and important. As such, I do not expect, and frankly do not desire that most members reply to my threads. I only expect the top 1% of posters to read and respond to my topics; that is the segment of SOL members who are my readership. Most members will, naturally, find my posts boring or unintelligible. This is just fine. With Salaams PK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted October 13, 2004 I hardly start any “thought-provoking†topics of my own. Should I entertain the idea of starting one, I soon change my mind as it’ll either be an inadequate topic that will not contain ALL that I want to convey or it’ll receive hollow replies thus making a mockery of my pedantic efforts. I’d rather comment on and reply to existing topics instead. It takes relatively less effort to do so and allows me the chance to give tiny glimpses of my disorganised thoughts here and there. On the whole, it’s about passing the time (mostly at work). Post something interesting - serious or amusing really doesn’t matter - and I’ll reply to it in one way or another. What I find annoying though is when I purchase a new item of clothing and prance about while wearing it, hoping that somebody will notice and compliment me on it or advice me to never wear it again! It’s distressing when the verdict on your fashion sense is utter and complete indifference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
