Why does it seem my posts go unnoticed?

In My Humble Opinion

You need to post

Big

AND IN CAPS

AND BRIGHT

AND SAY ATTENTION-GETTING WORDS LIKE

BEER
SEX

Following these practices every time is sure to get you a) Noticed, but unfortunately, also b) Banned.

You’re noticed. Don’t worry. Hey, I noticed! :wink:

42

I’ve also noticed you haven’t been on ICQ lately! So there! :smiley:

43

At least you are floatsam on the creek! I often feel like I am a log in the swirling toilet of doper life. You lucky, lucky bastid!

Faydeau You can be the Naked Masterbating Gay Spelling Grammar Nazi. Put it on your resume.

44

But hey, that means you get to spend time in the jacuzzi with Happy Lendervedder! :smiley:

45

Any real government agents post from secure keyboards that have CAPS LOCK permanently on, so i just figured you were lying about being an agent and ignored you.

Now… if you were to type a MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS, like some former agents we knew…

46

Thanks for the reminder. I did that when I first joined and then stopped, thinking I’d be able to remember where I’d been, and trying to cut down on e-mails. (Not that threads I started were all that popular, but I posted in some that were, and there’d be lots of mail.)

I’ll keep that in mind though. I’d forgotten about that feature.

47

:eek: :smiley: :frowning: (insert barfing smilie )

48

You forgot BOOBIES!!!1111!!!ELEVENTYONE!!!

49

heh. She said bupkus. heh.

50

Hmmm.

51

I occasionally post long-ass analytical manifestos that get highly and effectively ignored, but I blame that less on the other Dopers as the fact that I’m posting long-ass analytical manifestos. Really, who has the time?

52

Often, that is exactly how I feel about your posts, Foxtrot. However, looking back at things, I notice an awful lot of interesting threads you have started, that got plenty of replies, such as Okay, so what is the argument FOR parental consent. What fictional universe would you love to live in?

:stuck_out_tongue: I shoulda’ known!

53

I’m more surprised when people do notice my posts. I don’t feel like I’ve made much of an impression on people, and I’m always grateful when someone indicates that I have. Until the day comes when someone says, “That Telperien really gets up my nose,” or worse.

54

The Clothed Straight Spelling and Grammar Nazi wishes to inform you that you have mistyped Feydeau and Masturbating. :smiley:

There used to be a member named iampunha whose schtick was to “run nekkid through thread[s]”. Looks as if Feydeau may be the new
iampunha…

55

That was particularly egregious, because I’ve actually met Scott.

However, Scott, you might notice in the DC-Baltimore thread I did reference your old “filthy filthy hippies” thread on Tacoma Park.

56

Feydeau might be great and all, but no one can replace 'punha. :frowning:

57

There’s definitely some posters that only respond to certain other posters. Some respond to me and some would not in a million years. Doesn’t bother me at all- just speak your mind and don’t worry about responses.

58

Y’know, I thought I was the only one who felt like this. Nice to know I’m not the only one who feels neglected…and alone…so alone…

59

Me too.

Also the forum makes a difference. I would never say in GQ “Agent Foxtrot is 100% right and here is my take on what he said.” While I might do that in other forums.

your point being? :smiley: :wink:
