Guys, I hate to complain, but I'm going to anyway

[flashphoto]

I think we all agree on the "post nothing" requests.

I dont respond much because by the time i see something its already a week and a half old and i dont want to bump old threads.

I know that some posters get upset when they see a lot of views on their post, but dont get many OR any replies, BUT views on the thread, do not mean that the full size picture OR the video, has been downloaded. Many people have different tastes, and am sure that if someone really thinks a post is hot, then they will reply.
If every member on the forum posted a reply to every clip or photo, then the forum would probably be in big trouble trying to keep up with moderating the newer posts.
Just imagine making a post tonight, and then 400 members replying to a few posts that were made 2 days ago.
Please don't get me wrong, i am not saying dont reply, i am just trying to point out something that could happen.
best regards
CP.

You're to be commended, then!

Not to pick nits with you, but most posters do not sing that tune. Far, far from it.

Those that do, like yourself, are certainly justified in expecting more appreciation. Thanks, from me to you.

I think that maybe for some like me, we try to post what little we can find or take ourselves, and other than that, I try to stay out of the way of what I call the "real" posters.

I make some comments when they are specific to the post or when I am flat out amazed at what you guys are able to find...but other times, if a post has replies and four stars, then I don't want to look like a zooperist and bump up threads with my opinion. This may sound stupid, but I think, "who gives a shit if I liked it or not? I hardly contribute".

If I knew that comments like mine are wanted then I'll start posting some select ones. I just don't want to clutter the forums and start looking like a freedom, grandad, or energy nuthugger.

It seems there's always a fine line between some threads getting little response, to those that seem to go overboard. Once in awhile I'll come across an old thread that I thought was great, and yet no one let the contributor know. Contrarily, I'll see some threads with a short vid or a couple of pics, and there'll be a ton of replys. Usually one or two words: "thanks", "outstanding", "any more", "great", "cool, thanks", and on and on. It almost seems that people are most comfortable "hidden" within a group. It's the "Hell everyone else is replying to this thread, I might as well too" mentality.
As far a my own threads are concerned I obviously appreciate any comments but don't expect one from every person who may come across it. On the other hand I find it a little irratating when members try to coax comments out of members to get them to post more. I post because I choose to, and I want to share. I mean let's face it, no one here knows me personally, so who cares if a million people reply to my thread. What then? I get to walk around my house by myself with my chest out and my head held high, as I imagine to hear your heart warming, spine tingling applause?
The bottom line I suppose, is to post because you want to, knowing it always feels better to give than to take; and if you come across a thread where no one has commented, take the initiative and let the poster know that at least one person has appreciated their effort. You never know, they may reward you at a later date with an even better post.

It's a well known fact that only 5 % of unsatisfied customers ever complain and only 2% of satisfied customers ever compliment. This is a well known statistic in Advertising.
What this means is that each 2 people who posted actually represent 100 people.

You are doing a great job keep posting.

I don't know if I'm only speaking for myself saying this, but a lot of times when I log in here I see for example say, 8 marked threads in a section, and when I look at them there are maybe new pictures in three, if you're lucky.
I don't know, but if so is the fact, then I don't want to be the one getting peoples hopes up and let down as fast as the click the thread.

Not saying that you don't deserve feedback though, just explaining why I donät give feedback a lot of times.

I really enjoy your posts and look forward to seeing more =)

Thanks

As a member who has started the odd thread or posted a few photos I read the comments here with interest.
I must admit,I love feedback.
Iam a fedback junkie.
If I find some great photos and i post them to an existing thread or
start a thread and someone leaves a comment to say they like the photos
well it makes it all worth while spending hours searching for new material and taking the time to
post it.
Guess I am insecure but I love it when I get praise,in fact Ilove all feedback positive or negative.
But I agree you shouldn't just bump up old threads with feedback for the sake of it but sometimes
it revives a good thread new members may have missed.
Best idea is make a comment add an on topic photo,
but for me two words do'thanks thenfreedom'
right or wrong i love feedback and if thats seen as a failing..............
.........well I never said I was PERFECT....JUST HUMAN.

GREAT THREAD,GOOD TOPIC,GOOD SUBJECT.
THANKS EVERYONE
