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

lol at cliquey chat demo.

there is the odd clique. there ALWAYS is. but they are tiny compared to the overall number of posters.
Unless you mean ''no-one 'popularrr' responds to my threads''. In which case, you need to have a wee look at yourself about what is important to you.

I'm just going to keep on replying to this thread...just because you told me not to.

When I occasionally use another name, I find the number of responses I get goes down. Also, you can almost taste the suspicion in people's tones if your thread is about anything vaguely trollish. It's why I keep coming back to DG.

Start a thread in Baby Names. Shortlist "original" names with "unique" spellings.

Can you tell I only read the OP?

Hello whifflegarden. I for one am much too cowardly to ciick on 'here'-what exacly does 'here' involve?

Oblomov · 01/04/2010 16:42

actually i am now a bit cross with OP. posting such a thread, insinuating the oldies only get posts, just for attentions sake, is a bit crap.
