I do understand Nanobyte. Although I think that I'm fairly well known around here (at least I was under the name Aviendha), I still get a little bit upset when people don't respond to my posts. I guess I want to seem funny or smart or whatever, and when no-one replies, I feel like people don't think that.

I started a thread very similar to this one in the Books and Movies section, asking why nobody ever responds to my movie reviews. Quite a few people have since told me that they do read them and enjoy them, but don't feel they have anything to add and so don't respond.

I've also noticed on another forum that I occassionally visit, that they have a counter on the amount of people that have viewed a thread, and a seperate one for how many have responded. This way, I know that maybe 30 people have read my thread, even though only 2 have responded. It's not a bad idea, and at least let's me know that I'm not completely wasting my time. Maybe Ziroc can implement this some time.

Anyway, don't feel bad, I know how you feel, and value your posts just as much as anyone else's.

Ben.
