MemberI sometimes feel bad when I see a thread because I see that only 1 or two people have posted… I try to make a point to post on those (if I can) just so they wont feel so lonely!
Anybody else?
(watch this be one of those threads. lol)
MemberPlease post on my question about taffeta or cotton silk Bridesmaid or Best Man dresses lol… it’s one of the ones you are talking about where no one answers me ;(
MemberI do this sometimes but only if I have an answer. But I do try harder on those posts to come up with an answer.
MemberI’ve done it many times and then when I don’t get any responses after mine I consider myself to be the thread killer 🙁
MemberYeah. I notice a lot of threads with newer people sometimes get ignored (maybe not intentionally or maliciously). So I try to give some support or ideas. I feel badly when people have to bump their threads. I try to start threads when I know when a lot of bees are online. That’s usually between 9 am-1pm or 5pm-9pm.
MemberI’m a sucker for a lonely little thread. I sometimes stay away from the ones with tons of posts if I don’t want to read them all because I hate just saying whatever 10 people before me have also said.
Member@SapphireSun: Yeah. I sometimes get lazy and don’t want to read it and usually those are the threads that end up with people arguing and it’ll just rile me up.
Hostessmissbitsnpieces – post it now as there seem to be plenty of people on here.
Where i’ve been the first to contribute and I don’t know much about the topic of the thread I start off saying I may be of no help etc. I felt a little lonely when I posted pics of me when i’d found my dress, There were plenty of people on here, so I just presumed they either didn’t want to comment on a dress thread or didn’t think I looked that great.
Member@CatyLady: I think posts like that are difficult. There’s really no options to post other than “whoo hoo!”, and I sometimes get nervous that people are going to be like… why did she bother posting just to be like “looks great, good for you!”
Member@Prewitt: I know what you mean. My very first post was when I had picked up my dress and I only got a few comments. Although later I realized it was because I posted it later at night (I had to go two hours to get the dress so I didn’t get home until later and couldn’t wait to post it 
).
HostessI think me being in the UK doesn’t help either because of the time difference. Two hours – did you try on some but go back to one you’d found on the internet? Actually i’ll have a look at your posts and see if I can see it.
MemberAs a newbee, I appreciate the helpful comments on the smaller threads, so thanks 🙂 And I think the post time does have a lot to do with it. I’ve noticed that some threads seem take off because of the amount of people online when the post goes to the board.
MemberActually I did. I found one on the internet I absolutely loved. I went to a few dress shops nearby and I was bored everywhere I went. So I found the dress two hours away and drove up that day and didn’t want to take it off. That store also gave us a quicker ship date with the same price so we ordered it there (in all fairness though it’s only 30-40 minutes from my mom’s house and his parent’s house so it wasn’t really out of the way – we just made a day of going to see our families).
MemberThats really cute of you! I don’t think I do, I just write on whatever I have something to say too, but maybe I will from now on! 😛
MemberOh I do it all the time especially when there are 0 replies. I feel so bad and even if I can help or answer the question I bump the thread up.
