SteveThaiBinh Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 You could try the following: a) Post in the correct forum. Very little happens in the Obsidian General forum. b) Wait a bit longer. These boards have a leisurely pace, with people all over the world coming on at different times. c) Join existing discussions as well as posting your own topics.

Gorth Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Words of wisdom... Peoples responses can depend on what time of day and even which day of the week you post. Weekends being slower than work days for some reason (you would expect people to be busy working on workdays, but nooo...) Another factor is the section of the forum you post in. People who are interested in certain subjects will hang out in those sections. If you create a thread about something only vaguely related to the section, odds are, many people will have little interest in it. Check the section subtitles/descriptions. Posting "style", this is a trickier one. Generally, people seems to react hostile to "attention seekers". Quite a few of the oldies know each other (and can be quite insensitive in the way they deal with each other) but are often willing to offer a response to well meant questions. On the other hand, if a post leaves the impression of "Hi, I am the center of the universe, now talk to me" it will lead to people simply ignoring it. The casual chat usually start once people know each other better. A good start would be to introduce yourself, your interests, what you are looking for etc. Participate in other peoples threads and let them get a better insight into who you are and what you stand for. Acceptance comes together with familiarity.

theslug Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah gorth is right. With the exception of Walsh most people ignore/hate me but then again I sure wasn't anywhere near this bad. Most definitely a troll? There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Gorth Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah gorth is right. With the exception of Walsh most people ignore/hate me but then again I sure wasn't anywhere near this bad. Most definitely a troll? There is also a third option, sometimes people just happens to have few common interests. Whether it be age differences, cultural/political/religious differences or just simply no common ground. It might come across as "Ignoring", but it is not necessarily a deliberate ignore “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
