just venting

[honey1982]

i have been a memeber for a while now and everytime i post a question for some strange reason no one will even comment or say they don't know or have any advice for my question. that is so frustrating not even the forum mediators? wow that is so freakin crazy to me. well just had to get that off my chest. that's why i don't really get on anymore.and that's a shame. so if i feel like this i now there are other women out there feeling exactly like me.

I agree as well. It is frustrating when you are looking for answers or opinions. I am pretty new to the board, and for the most part, people have commented on mine. I find **bumping** my own threads continuously gets me answers/opinions. Even if it's someone saying they don't really know. I too always congratulate mom's on their bfp's and new arrivals even if  I don't know them. I do like really enjoy this board, so I am willing  to be a lilltle patient, but I do hear you all .. It can be very frustrating! Hugs to all!!

Hey!  I completely understand.  I think at this point so many of the women that WERE on here have either had their babies or are about to and aren't getting on quite as much.  I wish that I had time to reply to everyone, even if just to say I'm sorry, I wish I could help.  Unfortunately...since I have 3 kids and work full time, my time is usually limited so I try to reply to those that I can give advice to or something I know enough to comment on.  It is frusterating when you ask something and no one replies.  It's happened to me.  

I've also noticed that during certain times of the day/week.  Not many people are on and a lot of the posts get pushed way down...one thing that may help is to periodically go in and post a reply to just bump it back to the top so that when traffic picks up it will be seen.  Lots of peopel don't even bother looking at the second page.  Just some thoughts.

I feel the same way.  I try to answer posts.  I especially try to answer the ones that I have seen on here for a long time with no responses.  It makes me feel bad to see that because I know how it feels.  But I'm the same as you.  When I see someone that got a BFP or gave birth....even if I don't know that person, I will say good luck and congrats.  I don't know what to say other than I agree with you and I know how you feel.  I am always so grateful to those that do respond.  And as others have said, there are so many new people on here.  This forum has really grown.  So, it doesn't take long for questions to get bumped to the bottom.

wow, me too!  not all of the time, but some of the times i will get nothing or just one response.  i was thinking that maybe it's because there are so many newer people on here and the older friends that used to respond a lot don't get on as much...  i have started just having conversations/pm's with the girls i talk to most often on here.  i still post an occasional question, but not as much as i used to.  also, like KStarr said, so many posts are coming on that sometimes they do get bumped to the bottom and maybe don't get read...i haven't seen posts from you so that is a big possibility...i always respond when i can, especially to the people that i know and have been talking to on here for a while...

i don't think any of it is intentional, i think the forum as just changed a lot.  also, they are adding so many other forums under medhelp so maybe that is where a lot of the attention as gone?

Aww, I hear this a lot here lately and it makes me sad. If I had the time these days I would answer any of your questions that I have any information on.... Perhaps it's the certain time of day when the forum is less active? Or maybe it gets bumped to the bottom/next page? If not, I don't really know... Maybe no one has an answer.. Or perhaps you're all right and some of the women here are being ignored. Sorry you guys feel this way.
I've had a few questions go unnoticed but I just let it go, assuming either no one knew an answer or no one saw it..

honey im sorry i feel the same way like adawing said i get a few responses on a good day when i first came here everyone was soo very kind not they arnt now i just feel theres lil groups its high school all over again lol :)

[adawning4]

I completely agree with you. I just about to post the same thing!  I can ask a question about something that normally would get a lot of responses but my post goes completely ignored or maybe on a good day I will get one response about 4 hours after I posted. When I first came on here back in Nov. Dec. I felt welcome and I actually looked forward to coming on here. I always tried to respond or atleast wish good luck but Now after all this time NOTHING! Thank you all so very much.


Honey I am really sorry that your feeling the same way...... I hope that someone can respond to your post.....
