Sorry, AP... I honestly forgot to add "Monkey" onto the ballot...

A lot of the time when I come and see there is a new video there is already 17 pages of posts! I'm not complaining but it's almost impossible to jump in at that point. So I just try and catch the important things.

Thanks, but oddly that's only a minor reason why I didn't feel that I belong... I don't really get fazed by being bombarded with topics. It's when I'm posting but getting no responses that gets to me.

If you think about it, what does belong mean?

In this instance it is meant to be taken as "fit in", BA... I'll get to explaining what I mean in a sec.

Just relax and have fun. This forum is for everyone.

Like I replied to Beckers, the amount of topics doesn't bother me... If anything it kinda helps me get past my feelings of not fitting in. I know about the "marking all as read" feature, though I don't really seem to mind having all those yellow stickies around, anyway.

Now, what I meant by not feeling that I "fit in" is... a lot of the time when I reply to something, it gets unnoticed. Then again, I try to reply to as many people as I can, or at least those who had been talking to me.

Though a lot of times in the discussion forums, I tend to try to hit many points on a topic, but seem to get "passed over" a lot as people comment on other replies...

I know... I'm pretty paranoid about it. Sorry.

I just kinda feel like "why should I stick around here if no one really seems to be taking my comments seriously?" sometimes.

I can understand that...when I first posted here a got a load of negative replies who didn't take my posts seriously or even consider them and argue them effectivly. If was a rough start but I was convinced to stay by someone who sent me PM out of the blue.

All comments are taken seriously, unless your glowe. Or someone else just "trying to be funny".

If you are so unnoticed, how come so many of us respond to this? =P surely if no one cared, we wouldn't even bother trying to convince you otherwise.

I know a lot of people do more research than some and that is why other people respond to them...its not just a post saying "loved the vid, daniel seems like he's in trouble"..its more like "That symbol means this and Daniel this...and maybe this symbol relates to this and this..."

Get what I mean? I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you want to be more noticed in your post, try researching more into the video before you post your response...think of your response as a small report summary of what you think everything was about.

Another good way to get people to reply to you---is to reply to other people. Make a conversation...discuss what they posted...

Thats how it works...just like how this worked.

There are tons of lurkers here that just post once in a blue moon...I guess it all depends on how much attention you want and how much time your willing to spend here.

This is why I choose not to post that ofen. I like to have something to say. A lot of the info on here is great and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to do the research as I don't have the time.

Oh? and who would that be?
I'm not really convinced that I should stay, but I'm still around... for now.

I can't really say that I've been getting any negative responses, though. Just not very many... and considering my post count, though a lot of them (probably more than half) are from this section, I still post quite a bit in the "In Character", "Videos", and "Plot Discussion" topics.

I mainly lurk when it comes to Op Aphid or Tachyon stuff... I can never know what to really say about them, and my mind turns to mush when I just read the puzzle topics...

Either way...stay or go..that is ultimately your choice.

No poll is going to sway your decision.

I think you already know what you are going to do...

But I say stay. Why leave? You'll just end up wondering whats going on... why not know and see it first hand? =)

Thanks guys, but my point here is this... I have no problems when it comes to the "informal" topics, like this one. I get dozens upon dozens of comments and replies, here...

But the real reason why I joined this forum was so I could share my views, ideas, and comments about LG15, and so far when I do post on topic regarding the "show" they are largely ignored. That's not to say that I don't get any responses at all, but the only time I really do get a respons is if I chime in on someone else's ideas.

For once, I'd like to be noted for my own views... my own words... That's why I put them up there in the first place...

You STay. Last week I stepped in a pile of poo in one area of this forum...and I'm still here, like a fungus.

And the people thinking you are a girl...sounds like you suffer from a similar affliction as our little wintermute, now forever known as 'mute-ette.

... never meant to belong...?

public opinion... Do I belong?
