Its easy to feel ignored on a message board with lots of people. PT Has many many many members who ALL post at least ocasionally. I've had threads burried because it always puts the threads in order of the last time someone posted and someone *lots of someones lol* could have posted to my thread earlier that day and I just missed it cause it got burried due to other people responding to other threads and I was too lazy to look on page 2 or 3 lol. People also miss threads this way because a lot of times people just look at the first page of posts. Thats how threads get unseen and unresponded to. If I put a new thread or I find a thread Im really interested in following I just turn email notifiacation on so I can see when people respond and such. I'm slowly getting friends here as I become a blabermouth in my own right *I post a lot about my rats, but not lately since my digital camera broke ^%$@!!!!* Sometimes I get offensive *and get flamed* but thats ok. I respect that everyone is entitled to an opinion and personally if someone finds something I said to be offensive I myself would like to know why so I can well, not offend people. I try to be mindful of that sort of thing but it doesn't always work. Just keep posting, and keep looking for your threads. And DON'T
be afraid to speak up! I would have signed up for the Gift Swap but I just can't aford it right now *never get married, kidding lol* Next year, I think Im going to participate!!! *Might send some catnip to the people in Cat general before that though, 'nip seems to be really popular!!!*
Ugh I just keep babbling but hear me out...
I don't have cats, in my apartment Im not allowed to have a cat but I look and post in cat general because I LOVE cats. I share stories about cats I know *mostly the mum in laws terrors lol* and I post about the cute kitty pix. *If your from cat general and see this, your kitties are soooo adorable lol* Even if you don't have a particular pet, your interest in it is enough to post. \

I guess the best advice I can give is Babble babble babble!!!!
