To think that MN is incredibly cliquey and only oldies/popular posters get responses to their threads

[whifflegarden]

Unless a post is outrageous, if you're not known = no responses
See here

Chat is hopeless to be honest if you want people to reply. And I'm tempted to crack open the vino myself

I just replied to your original question .

Stay with AIBU - much more chatty.

May I draw your attention to this? You're not the only one, so stop whinging.

Ha x post fvn

Some schools haven't finished yet so parents are collecting now. Many MNetters don't have school age children. Lots of reasons for not getting a quick reply. Give it until after bedtime this evening.

You might want to calm down.

Don't take it personally whiffle; you get used to it after 5/6 years.....

Blimey! Get used to it. I've had more billy-no-mates threads than you've had hot dinners.

It's half past 3 - most people are feeding children

Nah , thats why alot of ppl post in AIBU, and even that does not guarantee a response

try something contentious maybe?

formula is the devils work
shit childminders
hating chavs
hating posh people
Was this midwife a bitch
Is natural birth a crock of shit
Is formula the devils work

et voila

I am regularly ignored. Bound to happen (and not just cause I am boring as hell). So many threads made, so many posters, fast moving board.

Don't take it personally and lighten up.

he he he Calm down, I'm just bored OUT OF MY MIND.
Thought I might get some attention with that..... Just one of those days I wish would end soon.
Pissing down with rain, stuck indoors with baby and she who can not stop talking swcnst
Will see what I can do with that link Rockbird

Whinge, whinge, whine whine.

Life's rich pageant.... And I'm practically stalking you having just posted on your other thread

I'm not sure starting a thread saying how cliquey MN is is going to help increase your response rate tbh. You had at least one response in 15 minutes anyway.

The Chat board moves so quickly that within minutes your thread is way down the list.

Yes I think you are right
oh no
i have just proved myself wrong by answering this
so you are wrong
QED

Not at all - the amazing Jack Bauer said 'what ClosedMouth said' only yesterday, and I had only been under this name since Wednesday (and I don't think she knows me anyway).

I was like this

Not taking it personally, just thought this title would be contentious enough to get some ATTENTION

Easily pleased me. Already feeling better.

People sometimes ignore me and I'm the most important person here.

My posts get ignored all the time, and i'VE BEEN HERE 5 YEARS. GAG

i've started several threads that barely get a response.. and killed plenty too, i've been here ages,and think i can be considered an oldie..

it is school hols, people are busy, distracted,doing stuff, it is not a concious decson to ignore, i doubt people look at the poster's name and ignore you

and if you've been here more than 5 minutes, you'll know this sort of thread is just shit stirring

Thank you. Off to unanswered threadds board to do goodd works.

Try posting something vaguely interesting!

HTH

I'm frequently ignored. I started a thread asking about gestational diabetes, was long and involved and not one bugger replied. I actually cried . Heartless buggers

Did Puzzlerocks get pissed off with bumping unanswered threads?
