i registered with this forum so i can make new friends i really like to chat so i tought this is the ideal forum for me as many forums are r..... most of them are full of maniacs asking and talking about the same thing,anyways here i really enjoy it but most of the time my posts get only e few replies and it ends all there other times they are only viewed but no replies could this be because i'm new and don't know anyone on the forum?don't get me wrong cause when i needed help i found it here and it's thanks to many of the members here that i kept going stitching.or could it be that many of my posts are nonsense?

I do not think your posts are nonsensens. But I think it is so many topics, threads, stories, more more to take part in on this forum so it is hard for me, and I'm sure that goes for others too, to keep up and reply with all. I read more then I reply, sorry to say...

Hi! I think it depends on the subject as like for me I don't really reply if I don't have anything to add to what everyone else has already said

Plus, I think there are ups and downs with when people are on and a lot of time differences so sometimes a post actually gets pushed down and people might miss it as it'll be at the bottom of the page or on the second page.

I don't think it would be anything personal so don't worry and keep posting!!

Unfortunately a lot of people don't look any further than the first few posts so miss anything thas gone down the page a bit. I always make a point of looking at all posts even though I may only post a comment on a few. Keep on posting as we are a friendly bunch here.

I think you must just continue contributing whatever you feel like talking about. I agree with hsollis that I also dont reply to a subject that either doesnt interest me or a reply is not necessary. Time differences also do play a part. Just keep on submitting and I am sure you will find people answering.

i am the same some days i find lots of stuff to reply on, others nothing at all. i keep coming in though!

I find it just depends on how I feel on a certain day whether or not I post a response, my life is very up and down (mainly down!!) so often I don't think that my response would be any help or interest to anyone.

Keep posting because this is a great place!

I read posts but will only respond if I have something to add. I don't tend to respond if someone else has already said what I wanted to say, although I might post just to say I agree etc.

Also, I don't tend to post when someone has lost a loved one. It's not that I'm insensitive - I am an incredibly sensitive person, but I never know what to say, apart from things like "sorry to hear the news" which has usually been stated by several other people before I've read the post.

I sometimes create threads, but not that often, I go through phases of whether I'm being talkative or not, just like I go through phases of not being able to put my stitching down, to not touching it for days, even weeks or months.

Keep posting and don't take it to heart. It can seem daunting to newbies as there are many close friendships between people on here. I joined about 18 months ago and I still don't have a close friendship on here. I just throw myself into the posts/threads whenever I feel like it and don't worry about what others think.

Hi hun keep posting on here I am the same as the others and I read through more than what I answer. But if there is a post I can help with I will leave a message.

i read lots and sometimes only reply if i have anything to add.

Was just about to move onto another topic when I realised thats what caused your unhappiness in the first place...sorry!

I love reading all the posts but as everyone else has said I don't always reply if there is nothing for me to add or if I can't be of any help.

I'm sorry, I'd like to be your friend really

Don't take things personally, that's just the way things go sometimes. Just get out there, post to the threads you want to and start your own.

I'm like so many other people, read a lot more than I post to as sometimes it's all you can manage to keep up to date!

Think most people will agree most of us have posted on here before and got hardly any/no response to a post.Don't take it personally.Keep chatting with us its great to have you here

I'm the same as others on here, read more than I post, keep on with your posts. I think we all have busy lives and find it hard to spread our time around everything and everyone.

I agree with everything that has been said. Between time , culture, and language differences, sometimes a person has nothing to add to the thread. Don't feel unwanted, you know we love you!

This thread has certainly got a lot of replies and you've been given good advice keep on posting. You're not alone, it happens to me as well I feel like a thread killer or even worse invisible but as someone else said when I needed help and encouragement I got it. I also thinkthere are people on here who appear to take a contrary view perhaps to make the thread more interesting. I know I was upset by what one person wrote and now if I post a thread it's cos I want to share something such as the Halloween card from my secret stitcher, the word game or cos I ABSOLUTELY am BURSTING to say something.

Zammits you've been a member since the end of August and already you have posted 63 timesyou are doing something write. KEEP POSTING

Keep posting hun.I think we all feel the same sometimes.

Oh, please stick around! I can go 6 months at a time of not coming on here, but whenever I come back I've never been made to feel unwelcome - it's a great place to visit and don't take it to heart if you don't get many replies to a post, I've read many and not responded, not because I don't care - mainly because I'm catching up & can't wait to get to the next thread

zammits so sorry, but as they say it most certainly is not personal, please please dont stop posting, stick with us and Im sure you will find it rewarding, chat about anything and everything there is always someone who is interested in what you have to say.

after this post i am sure that my posts are surely read it's maybe that sometimes either we won't have time to reply or it's just that there's nothing to add to what's already said.anyway i will surely keep on posting as whenever i need help this is the place i find it.soon i will be posting photos of my last piece hope everyone will post his comments they are really appreciated as these comments helps.thanks guys wish you all the very best in life
