How many discussions have you started which nobody responded to ? I have three discussions with 0 responses :( Does it hurt your feelings?

Seems like people are only communicating with highly rated members...sort of a "conspiracy" to help each other increase ratings and earn more money. I don't see any really interesting discussion here. Mostly a lot of BS conversations. Let me know if you are seeing something else.

I haven't yet noticed the conspiracy - maybe it does have a lot to do with how many "friends" you have on here? I think we have all noticed the BS conversations ~ hopefully there will be less of it with time as people start to realize that their one word responses don't pay as well as juicy ones. Thanks for responding ~ let's end the conspiracy; communicate with everyone freely and make some great friends :)

Well, I have several and they are things I either thought would interest people or I really needed an answer on. I'd love if someone would check my discussions and at least respond "I don't know" so it could pop back up on the board. Sometimes I think it's just timing. ContentWriter, I plan to go to yours and answer any that have zero. Care to do the same for me?

Don't give up! Sometimes discussions take off and sometimes they don't. We all have some with zero though. It's funny - the ones I start that just sit are the ones I usually think people will be interested in. So, I just keep trying.

Thanks so much for the encouragement! You are right - many of the discussions took a while to get attention but are no longer stuck at 0 now :) Thanks for responding :)

I've been lucky so far, i have at least 1 respond in some discussions. yeah! it hurts when nobody respond to my discussions, but i will also try to evaluate the discussions topic. how about we be friends and help to respond to each other discussion? as long as i know how to answer, and if you dont ask questions like 'are you a m/f, fav colour,fav food', i will answer all...deal?

I looked them up and responded to the ones which I could. (We don't celebrate Halloween in my country so I have no ideas about checking candy etc.) :)

I've tried to respond to as many of them as I can - but seeing as I don't have any children I can't really respond to many of them. So sorry - I really wanted to help out everyone with no responses. I am amazed by what you do though - being a doula must be really really amazing :)

LOL! You are so right :) But there is a definite "Loser syndrome" that comes with a discussion with no responses :) Thanks for responding - hehehhe - at least this topic didnt end up with no responses - that would have been very funny.

I'm feeling sort of unloved right now :( Both of my discussions have 0 responses :| Maybe I need to think of different discussions lol.

Not anymore :) While responding I noticed that you haven't started many discussions. Maybe practice makes it easier to think of "hot topics?"

1, I think. I guess it does hurt, in a way, but conversations come and go.

Yeah you are right ~ conversations come and go. And I think that "hurt" is experienced by everyone just on different levels. Thanks for responding :)
