Are you a victim?

joeykoins

How many fall victim as to when you post a thread and you don't receive ONE reply? I think I experienced this one time,how 'bout you? I know many of us our only interested in certain topics but don't you have that bad feeling that I do? I know it's nothing personal but still.Just my 2 cents.I wouldn't blame anybody for not responding on this one!

Been there, and have had threads with no responses.....

joeykoins

Thanks for replying,now I don't feel left out!

You know, I got on this elevator that was crowded with strangers one time. I started whistling a happy tune and rattling on about the weather. By the time we got to the fourth floor I was ranting. Nobody would say a word. When the door opened, there were these two big security guards just smiling at me.

It has happened to me so often, I'm starting to figure my unofficial title is Thread Killer

...the trick is to keep bumping it to the top! eventually you'll get a reply. it may not be a good reply but it'll be a reply.

MICHAELDIXON

...and I thought I was the thread killer!

I, too, have been victimized in just such a manner, worse, I have been last poster on some. I think we are entitled to an automatic reply from the board admin, poster's union or resident shrink whenever that happens.

I've had a few as well.

The thing is...............you never know if folks have actually opened the thread and decided not to reply or if folks simply don't see the thread!

Some of the other forums have counters on how many times the thread was opened. Using that information, it's easy to determine of perhaps your thread is uninteresting and as such, whether or not it should be ttted.

Yes,this is probably the best solution.yet,one doesn't want to overstay their welcome,right?

I have found that having an interesting and descriptive thread title helps. I've even revised my title to improve the response. As an example, I think "Crusty Busty Newp" is better than "My Latest Newp."

Ah,ha!

O.K.
Here's what you do.
Edit.
Put "Laura" in the thread title.

Then sit back and watch while your thread sticks like glue to page 1.

I think "victim" is the wrong word for this.

If you post a thread and get NO responses, how is that everyone else's fault to blame, and how are you wronged?

Maybe the thread title and/or content had something to do with the lack of responses?

Windycity

Happened to me but usually when the subject is quite narrow... example, asking about a specific minor doubled die or a clashed Ike, etc.

No,your right.I'm not blaming anyone.I just feel when I receive 0 replys,I'm a " victim' of just that silly emotion everyone (most) feels,that they are not being heard.Don't get me wrong this is truly not a big deal,just a conversation piece! Thanks.

A good friend, Dave99B, started a Thread with the title BARBER .

It's opening line was just.... No coins... Just Barbers ... Had a good laugh at
that - he had a few hits on his thread - but I couldn't help but chuckle .

If I add a Newp to an existing Thread of mine, it usually gets overlooked,
as many have already seen the Thread and have responded to it, ignoring
the Newp.

Ive noticed my posts about first spouses dont get a lot of replies!

I've had that happen but don't consider myself a victim. There are many things I find interesting that don't interest a normal mind. --Jerry

Consider it a sign of intelligence. When you post something not so good, the gang here will let you know it.

Never just put FREE givaway and you will see posts that you never seen befor.

ebaybuyer

i would disagree that one should be considered a "victim" if no one responds to thier thread, quite the opposite.

<< <i>Been there, and have had threads with no responses..... >>



Joey, Becky---Send me a PM next time this happens and I'll respond to your thread with a controversial post that'll generate several dozen responses.

Works every time.

joeykoins

How ironic it would be,if this thread turns out to be my most responded to I ever posted?

mustangmanbob

If you will contact me, and send $5 to my paypal account per post, I will respond to every post you ever make, and you will no longer be the Post ShutOut King.

Only when I ask about any interest in a rarity R6,1879-O/horizontal O Morgan VAM28! I have 2.

The mailman dropped off a new 2013 PCGS calendar today. I like the Brasher Doubloon listed for next September. I'm a victim.
( thinking it was a MAYAN calendar. )

Golly gee whiz!! That's fascinating!

A lot of times folks read and learn from a thread but have little to add so they don't post.

Pick a coin dealer whose coin description you disagree with, and then post a thread whining about it. They will come, trust me.

Always! I just don't feel the love. Everyone ignores me, heck it's as bad as when my kids were teenagers.

Better still, if you want your thread to die, just have me post in it. Guaranteed to drop off page one and head to the gloomy depths of oblivion.

I have nothing to contribute to this discussion, I just didn't want SM1 to take the blame for killing another thread.

Wow, usually you get at least one responder who has to tell the world how much he hates them. My sympathy.

lcoopie

a similar feeling occurs when you
respond to a thread
and your response is the last post

bumanchu

I know a guy that made a post in a thread that had more than 100 posts!!!

OldEastside

Lets see if we can get you to a hundred

That's because you usually lock it.

Better still,at least that would be some kind of reply/response.
