Did I do something

to offend anybody on here?  It seems like anytime I post, there's nobody to post after me.  And I barely get any responses from anybody.  I'm sorry that I cannot spend my entire day on here because of my job.  I've been able to be on lately because I was in a car accident and injured. I feel like I should just cancel my account.  Undecided

    Not to me at least.

    I just posted after you. It was a joke, btw.

    FWIW, I think you should keep posting.

    Good to hear.Smile I didn't see what you posted after me....   *going to look*  


      I never feel "welcomed" though when I post and it makes me sad. Cry

    Nobody is posting right now because we're all freaked by the changes. Don't take it personally.

    And if nobody responds, tell people to. :P  I do that if I'm ignored. I will not be ignored!! Tongue out

    No - keep posting.  I've posted before and had very few or no responses.  It happens. Laughing

    Off topic - I do NOT like the new email reply thread thing email that just says so and so replied.  I liked being able to see what people said without having to go to the board.  It made knutting much less obvious at work!  This is the first thread I had an email reply to.  yucko!

    It's not that I took it personally, but when it happened repeatedly, I got to wondering....   haha  

    I didn't think I ever said anything to offend someone.  And if I did, I wish they would say something to me.  I would feel awful if I said something to hurt someone's feelings.  I wish I could be snarky sometimes tho, lol!

    Molly- it's not just today.  I've noticed it for awhile, but since I wasn't able to be on during the day, it wasn't as bad.  But since I've been off work for several weeks now and able to get on, I notice it A LOT more. 

    N- I never realized he was only 17!?!  D@mn.   teheheheWink

    Aw, Krystal I hope you keep posting! 

    I just haven't had a chance to post much today other than to test the new board.  My boss is around and I have work to do.  Frown

    I'm sure that you did notice it and that it may be happening, but I don't think that you offended anyone. I am not sure why it is happening, but just plug on and hopefully it will change.

    Thanks KR!  How are you feeling?  Are you getting excited for your baby boy? I cannot wait to be a momma!

    Molly- I guess I'll just keep posting and hope that people talk to me.  It's no fun being the loser that nobody replies to.

    Haha, that made me laugh.

    Krystal - honestly, I swear no one answered my posts in the beginning either.  Like Molly said, just keep plugging on.  Or just get tough and demand answers.  That's what I do now. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-innocent.gif" border="0" alt="Innocent" title="Innocent" />

    If I had a nickel for every time I thought I posted something witty to respond to someone or started a new thread and had barely anyone post, I would be rich. Really, I swear. Some days people aren't on much, or they don't go back to the post, etc. etc. I used to get worried people hated me, but I kept posting and ended up feeling comfortable enough here not to care if people respond or not.

    Keep posting!

     I think you're being paranoid.  Many of us also either know each other in real life or have been knotting for a long time and in that case, may respond more frequently to the posts of those that we know.  FWIW, I've never noticed that your posts don't get responses and I highly doubt that it's intentional.  Sometimes there are just things that people don't have a comment/response to, you really can't take it personally. 
  • edited December 2011
    Yeah, Jenn - it just got hard to ignore you.

    JK!!!!!

    Thank you girls, I'm so glad to know that I haven't done anything to you!! 

    And I understand to that a lot of you know each other IRL, which makes it intimidating sometimes for me to post or respond.  I don't know if other newbies feel the same, but it's like moving to a new school where everyone knows each other and you don't. KWIM?

    It was the same way with the last group.  When I joined there was a really close knit group on here - so it can be intimidating as a newb.  Just keep posting and join in when you can. :)
  • edited December 2011

    I've never felt offended either.
    LOL Dori, I've felt the same way.  I agree, sometimes there's really nothing to really "add" and you don't just want to give a canned response, make the thread highlighted and the OP waste her time opening it for nothing important.  I have no wedding advice on a lot of things b/c we either didn't do it or it was included in the hotel package i.e. chair covers...but if I can give a wedding rec, I'm more than happy to (as well as commenting on awesome wedding stuff you ladies come up with).  Sometimes posts get buried too, so I can honestly say I've never consciuosly avoided your posts Innocent

    Trust me, if we didn't like you, you would know it.  It would be a lot more obvious than low post responses.  We are, some will say, the meanest local board ever to exist.

    We could, but I'm pretty sure the group that was here when I started would beat us up and steal the shirts from us! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />
