Originally posted by Arledrian: Nanobyte, I think part of the problem is that you seem a little anonymous (at least to me). You've been here a long time, but in all honesty, there isn't a single thing I can say about you; I can't point out one characteristic or trait you have, because I know so little of you. I'm not exactly a newbie here either, and I'm reasonably familiar with a lot of people and how they post, but you seem to be an exception. Maybe you could try opening up a little more, giving us more of a look into your life? If you need to, post threads on what's going on, or just write a quick note in the cafe to tell us how it's going. Also, you could try talking to some other forum members through MSN or AOL messenger; this is a great way of getting to know people, and this way you could get the recognition and appreciation you want when you post. One thing is for sure though; you're not being ignored or neglected on purpose. We all make threads that get zero replies, and it's nothing personal, just a bit of a flopped topic at worst. Things like this are often coincedental though, and so certainly not worth worrying about. I hope you feel better soon [img]smile.gif[/img] And by the way, the Choc topic icon was an awesome idea [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanx for the tip Arledrian. Perhaps I am secluding myself too much. I have been recently trying to open myself up. Let me give a little info here:

• I was born on the first of November in 1985
• I have two older sisters, one younger, and one older brother; the oldest being 27 and the youngest 11
• For the first ten years of my life I lived in Upstate NY, of course my parents tell me we lived in WV for a while
• After my grandmother died (father's side), we moved to Mooresville, just north of Charlotte, NC, which was almost seven years ago
• I'm in the 11th grade now, some of the classes I'm taking are Latin, English 1023H (Honors), Chemistry, and AP US History (supposed college course)
• I can post my grades, but those are optional [img]tongue.gif[/img]
• Let's see, I turn 17 soon, but I cannot drive, I just got my permit in August, and don't get my license until a year after (drive after 9 in Feb. 2004)
• I have a job as well, work at a sign shop making $6 an hour, around $130 every fifteen days
• I've been saving up for a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, saved $1700 in close to 7 months, I'm still 6K short
• I DO NOT have a girlfriend, but that doesn't affect me that much
• Oh yea, I plan on becoming a game designer, comp. software programer, and am leaning towards Appalachian State
• My email is melonollie@hotmail.com and AIM screenname is Melonollie
• I like skate and snowboarding (got into both just recently), CRPG's, spending time with my family, occasional reading, PnP D&D

Well, that's all I can think of. Just ask, and I'll post more.
