I 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)

I do this sometimes but only if I have an answer. But I do try harder on those posts to come up with an answer.

I’ve done it many times and then when I don’t get any responses after mine I consider myself to be the thread killer 🙁

Yeah. 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.

I’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.

@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.

missbitsnpieces – 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.

@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!”

@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
).

@mandb122:
I 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.

As 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.

Actually 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).

Thats 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! 😛

Oh 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.
