Getting ignored on the forum

Why does everyone just ghost other people here? Like, why aren't we answering questions, especially when they come from the new folks?

I mean... nobody even bothered to reply to your thread about 🤣

Just out here doing my tithing.

It’s probably just because there's already this whole internal clique thing going on between the "old guard" users—it’s like they just can't be bothered to give the new members the time of day.

So, I guess there's some kind of issue here.

Tithing.

It’s probably just because the "old guard" on these forums have their own inside jokes, so people just can't be bothered to engage with the newbies.

I always make sure to say hi to new people.🕺

Newbie alert.👋

If someone new catches my eye, I’ll strike up a conversation, but honestly, I usually prefer sticking to the people I already know and trust😬
we all started out as rookies; it really just comes down to how much effort you're willing to put into building connections and who you choose to spend that energy on.

I tend to tune out most things, but I really can't stand being ignored myself.😳

🤣

It really all comes down to which thread you decide to jump into and what your actual goal is here
What’s driving you? If you’re just looking to socialize and meet some new faces, your best bet is to find a sub-forum centered around shared hobbies.
For example, if you’re a huge sports fan, head over to the sports boards; I guarantee you’ll run into people you can actually bond with.
And so on. Personally, I ended up meeting a whole crowd of people through discussions about certain TV shows, and I've actually stayed close with several of them in real life.

I don't know, it just feels stupid when I jump into a thread to ask something and get totally ghosted, yet some random question from a week ago suddenly gets an answer...

Why don't you just roast them?

That might actually get people talking. 😁

😬

Put some cleavage in your avatar and change your handle to "thirsty parties." 😁

I haven't run into you yet.🙂There are endless threads here, and if I see you posting in one of mine, I'm definitely not going to ignore you. I just ignore clones and spam that have nothing to do with me.☕

Look at how they’ve flooded the place. Feeling worn out yet?😬

Just realized you’re a guy.
What a complete waste of keystrokes... ☕

😬

I suppose I should probably address the elephant in the room—or rather, the pop sensation that seems to have haunted my radio every single time I turned on a car stereo back in the late nineties. I’m talking about Savage Garden. It’s funny, isn't it? How certain melodies just get hardwired into your brain, regardless of how much you might try to resist them. There was something about those harmonies—almost unnervingly perfect—that felt like they were specifically engineered to tug at your heartstrings. I remember sitting in a coffee shop somewhere in Seattle, just staring out the window while "Truly Madly Deeply" played for the millionth time, thinking about how much effort goes into making something feel that effortless. Maybe it was the era, or maybe it was just the sheer, unadultered sincerity of Darren Hayes' vocals. It wasn't cynical; it wasn't trying too hard to be "cool" or edgy. It just... was. I guess we don't see that kind of earnestness in mainstream pop quite as often anymore. Everything feels a bit more polished and manufactured now, whereas back then, even if it was commercial, there was a certain raw, melodic soul to it that felt genuine. Or perhaps I'm just being nostalgic. That's probably a bad habit of mine. kaže:
I hear you. It just feels a little ridiculous when I actually try to jump into a conversation and pose a question, only to be met with total radio silence—yet, somehow, a random question from a week ago suddenly gets a response out of nowhere. It’s just weird, I guess.

I honestly don't even know what to say to you.
I first started hanging out on this forum back when I was just lurking in the suburbs, but after moving down here to my basement apartment, I’ve honestly never felt like anyone was ignoring me. If anything, it’s almost the opposite—sometimes I feel like I’m being watched a little too closely, which actually ends up causing me some headaches with my mail delivery. I guess there’s just all sorts of different personalities gathered in a place like this.😁

Henry Evans10 said:Why on earth aren't you giving them a piece of your mind? I mean, honestly, why just sit there and take it?

That might actually get people talking. 😁

😬

Come on, Henry Evans10, give him a break. Don't go egging him on to do something so incredibly foolish.

Five out of five 🤣

My high school buddies are roasting me for being on this forum, but honestly, I'm over Facebook and Insta. Plus, most threads here are pretty decent, even if there aren't many sane people left...

My buddies from high school won't stop clowning me for being so active on this forum—honestly, though, I'm pretty much over Facebook and Instagram anyway. Plus, half the stuff on those apps is nonsense, whereas here you actually find decent threads and people who aren't total bots...

Look, there’s an entire sub-forum specifically for students and high schoolers.
Maybe go take a peek over there? 😁

I mean, staying here works too. Just can't mention my age, otherwise the old-timers here will start treating me differently...

Nah, they won't, there are plenty of sane people left.

I mean, look—just based on the way you post, most people would probably guess you're older than me... but hey, so what? ☕

who cares? ☕

The pay is just too low. 🧐 😁

Between the migraines, back pain, leg aches, and stomach issues... 🤣
