Can I Say Something?

Original post by davenjess

Please note - i am not saying this to anyone specific at all...but i'm noticing a trend lately....

Someone posts something at 9:00.....there are no answers by 9:07, and at 9:10 - they are already commenting with , 'guess not'...or many other things, some of which, honestly, are snotty....

Please, PLEASE, give people a chance to read & reply.

Sometimes, people are writing you back a longish reply and get caught up in something at work, or the phone rings...

Your views may be at 20 and you have zero replies...but i don't personally comment on everything I read. If something has NOTHING to do with what i know about, i read it and don't comment...

Anyway - what i'm trying to say is give people a chance to respond before commenting about how no one is commenting.

Again - not aimed at anyone imparticular, just a trend i'm noticing....

I agree... just give it time, and you'll get a response from someone who can really help you! I usually don't answer because I really can't contribute much... I could just say I don't know, but I think that would just be a waste of time...

That is seriously a very strange thing to bother you and make a post about.... If your saying that you don't like it when someone posts something then 10 minutes later reposts, well you obvisously had to look into that thread again, correct???? So your pretty much going into a thread - not responding (which of course is fine) - then going back into 10 minutes later also?? Doesn't really make sense. If I read a post and have nothing to add, I leave it be. JMO[/QUOTE

You shouldn't let this bother you, who cares. If someone says that you should not take offense to it, this is just a forum for people to talk about wedding stuff.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

People are entitled to post whatever they'd like, and if they want to respond 10 min later with 'No one cares'... who cares?? Just ignore it!

I totally agree with what you two are saying this shouldn't even be an issue.

First off, Jess ITA! That's one of my biggest LIW pet peeves - along with people who post something, get 2-3 great repiles, and then immediately post 'anyone else?' as if those few replies were meaningless.

Secondly, in response to the poster I quoted - I think the situations vary! You could read a post, have nothing to say, and then check back because you'd like to see the responses. Someone might post asking about a great place to get a groom's cake - you might not have anything to say because you're looking for one too - then you'd naturally check back later to see the replies so you'd have some recommendations.

Everyone's got their pet peeves! Who is to say what should and shouldn't bother someone?

Oh well, I'm back to NW board!

Absolutely!!! If someone posted something that I read and i didn't comment on & then 10 minutes later, i see they responded to their own thread...that to me means, maybe they changed something in the OP and maybe i CAN help now.

Maybe anyone who's wining about this post should take a look at my post count......i actually go out of my way and try to help people and that's why i have so many posts.

Hmmm. I read the original post as 'give us a chance to respond to your post - no need to be an impatient tart about it.'

I didn't think it was complaining or whiny.

Re: Can I Say Something?

i thought of something else i wanted to add ...

i had hoped it wouldn't happen to you girls, but it seems to be on its way....

now that you ladies have begun 'wedding season' many of your active posters have either gotten married, are on their honeymoons, or are super busy with last minute tasks ... so the number of people around has started its slow decline, thus fewer responses to posts.

by november, i know from my own experience, 07 was nearly a ghost town

I was thinking about this too, that there are less posters around on 08 since half have gotten married and the other half are much busier now... But still a decent amount of us left

cute picture in above post btw, sorry you were deserted..

May I just add that A LOT of the questions that are posted lately can be answered by searching for past threads

I don't get a lot of responses when I post about things that I made or ordered...I try to bump whenever possible but lately I just give up and let the post die

ITA! With this and Jess's OP.

I don't think we're 'whining' about nothing - if someone posts a question or is looking for a suggestion and I DON'T know the answer - I'll look it up! Whether it's on google or searching old threads here. It's a little annoying when you find a suggestion and when you go to reply you find a snippy 'gee, I guess no one cares' or 'NOONE????'.

Uh, yeah, SOMEONE actually - they were busy looking up the answer to your fecking question! Chill!
