Oh, please don't feel that way!! You most certainly ARE wanted!! I had to laugh because, although I've been with Pet Talk almost since the beginning and have tons of friends here, I've always joked with Logan that I am the "death of a thread!" For a while I always seemed to be the last to post! Sometimes it's just a matter of jumping in a little late or when interest in that topic is ending.

I'm not sure how old you are, but one thing I have noticed after years on Pet Talk...that is that sometimes the younger members are understandably very anxious to read replies to their threads/posts and are distraught when others don't respond immediately. I noticed yesterday, when you posted your birthday thread, you were upset because only one person had posted... but it had been less than an hour. I was all ready to wish you a Happy Birthday and then read that you were upset because only one person had posted; I felt awful. Please try to be patient. Usually on weekends people don't get on Pet Talk till later in the day; some not until Sunday. Even the Dog Cat and Pet of the Day get less replies! And during the week, many of us work so don't get on until the evening! I know that I'm always on the look out for posts that haven't gotten many replies; sometimes, within minutes, they can get bumped down so far people don't see them. Now a days, with so many new members and so many new threads getting posted, you may have to check two pages for threads started just that day!

Hang in there! You are VERY much appreciated and a cherished member of Pet Talk! Keep posting, as they, "early and often!!"
