[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 2109764, member: 1"] To be fair, though, there are people in this thread who you haven't replied specifically to. In fact, that applies to most of the people in the thread. In fact, if you felt that people should have specifically replied to your post, should everyone in the thread have specifically quoted and replied to every post that came before theirs? That would make for one messy conversation! I think you're using the "quote and reply" type posts as a measure of the reaction to your posts, which is a mistake. I'd guess that 99% of the posts on this board don't get specifically quoted and replied to. Generally, people read a thread and then add something to the conversation. So, in short - don't sweat it. Your posts are being read by people, and nobody is "ignoring" you any more than you are "ignoring", say, Fusangite, who has posted in this thread. Bear in mind, also, that anyone in a community is going to talk directly to their friends more than to a stranger. That's where the postcount thing comes in; it's not that the person has a high post count, it's that they've been around for some time, involved themselves in a lot of conversations, and are generally [i]known[/i] to other people. They've made friends (and enemies!), established themselves, people are used to them. They know things about each other. This sort of thing happens as time passes and - naturally - as post counts increase. Imagine yourself at a party with some friends -you tend to talk to your friends, and occasionally venture out to talk to a stranger. By doing that, you slowly get to know new people, and your group of friends expands - at the party, there are now more people going out of their way to talk to you specifically. I don't think it's messageboard or internet specific. Stick around! You've already started to make yourself known with this thread! :) [/QUOTE]
