Sorry, friends and fans, but I can't make 20 discussions a day...

I tried once.
I really did.
I got to 7.
And it just felt too much (to me) like I was spamming the board.
I almost want to do it once...just to see what my bank for the day would look like.
But I doubt I will.
It'd be easy to do if I made a post about every time Scar went out or wanted back in.

@JolietJake The mailman has not yet delivered the mail.
I am waiting for an Amazon package who is still not there.
Here it is another bill to pay.
The crow is stealing the food of the cat.
A lot of "interesting" topics.

The mail came, I got some bills.
I don't have enough money to pay my bills.
I went online and bought some stuff I don't really need.
Etc etc...

I don't even start one discussion a day, let alone anymore than that. I have a hard time coming up with things to discuss, and whern that happens, I just wait until I can think of something I want to discuss, and one tht will be interesting enough that others will want to respond to it. I did come back on Sunday after a long absence, and I did two discussions then, but haven't done any,more since, but I hope to do at least one today, when I come up with a good topci that is .

@JolietJake The problem is they never read the guidelines as it doesn;t work that way at all, as you have said many times. If a person isn't going to pose discussions that have sumstance and meaning, then they shouldn't post anything at al. I am lucky if I post one a day, and now that I am back, I have posted three, but they all have responses. I won't post a discussion that doeosn't have some meaning to it, as that is all nonsense. I think s long time sometimes before I even come up with just one that I feel would get responses. Yours always have substance, and I enjoy reading all of them and responding.

I saw someone the other day post three discussion is a row about playing chess and 2 minutes later three in a row about playing Scrabble.
And didn't get hardly any responses.
But somehow, some people can't be convinced that one or two good discussions will earn better than 6 three-sentence discussions.

@JolietJake the 10 posts eventually gave more in my bank; that was the time that the site got to pay almost all who redeemed. although my posts were long and with something to post about, the usual responses that i had were "great job", "good", and then the infamous line "visit my posts too".

@ridingbet I posted there like I do here pretty much...sometimes 3-4 a day, but unlike here, there were days I didn't post anything.
I was missing myLot.

I often make 5 a day if things are going on, but then I start worrying if I post more than that. I never did do a 10 post day at 'B'.

Back in the glory days of Bubblews, it was easy to churn out a lot more posts because the 'kerching' effect of money popping into your account made it very attractive. Here, honestly, not a good idea. Better that people work on one or two good posts and then nurture the interaction.

I'm sure you make more than 20 posts per day.
Maybe not 20 discussions but 20 posts

I remember trying once on the Bubblews site to post 10 in one day. I think I made it two 5 before I gave up. I was repeating myself and quite frankly, they were not generating much more interest than my normal one per day.
Yesterday, I actually posted 2 discussions on one day. Most unusual for me.

If I post something I want people to interact on it, otherwise what's the point? Enough times I am not even sure what to post for a single discussion... because I am not sure if it will lead to any activity... More than once I posted something that I thought would get much interaction but there were only a few comments at best...
If coming up with a single discussion, or even a few of them, is hard because not sure if others will respond to it, then posting twenty is even harder. Doubt I'd ever do that in a single day. I wouldn't know what to post and it might make me look like a spammer too.

@JolietJake I'd hate that if it were to happen to me. Put a lot of thought into a discussion, and write and rewrite it, and then no one even responds. Perhaps they don't see it in the feed anywhere. Or they just don't find it interesting to respond.

Most of the people that do it seem to not put much 'substance' into them.
'Serious' discussions here can be tough...most of the ones that I have put a lot of heart and thought into are the ones that get ignored by all but a couple people
