How many of you out there have discussions that never get any responses? Is this normal? Are my questions/discussions that bad? I try to express myself as freely as possible to share experiences with other members.

Hi Xanraven, Don't worry this is not unusual. Many of my topics also go unanswered, and in some topics when I don't expect many responses then I get many responses, there is nothing that you discussions are not worth responding, but it may be that it is not people's interest. Try to give an attractive heading, a descriptive body and can also mail discussions to friends, this way you can get more responses.

I have had discussions that get no responses. I believe the main reason is because of the subject of them. The ones I have that don't have responses are in specific band interests. So I figure there just aren't any other fans that feel like responding to them. I don't know if not getting responses is normal. I think I only have maybe 1 or 2 discussions without responses. I haven't looked into your discussions, so I can't say if they are that bad. Just a couple tips that might help out: - Make sure they're detailed enough to give everyone something to respond to. If a discussion just has like one sentence, I usually don't bother responding to them. -Make sure to tag your discussions. This way people might come across them when they are searching. -Make sure you post it into an appropriate category. Those are some pretty basic tips, that you probably already know, but if not, now you do =)

I've a few like that. I think it is due to the rather specialised interest (Java). That or I'm just dull. :(

It isn't unusual to post a topic that no one seems interested in or has nothing to offer. Be sure you post you discussions in an appropriate interest. Sometimes I see a discussion in myLot that I think should be posted in friends, or some other category or something in gardening I would have thought belonged in crafts. Other than than, don't be too hurt and don't quit posting. We've all posted topics that got zip!
