Author Topic: No Response: The Issue About More Popular Members  (Read 5217 times)

I've noticed that, throughout my time here, if you send a personal message to a more popular member, such as Trader, Stratofortress, Truce... they just don't respond. Of course, if you know that person/are well known yourself, they will probably respond. I personally think it's simply easier to respond with a message like "No, I'm not releasing it" or "No, I can't help you" or "No, that won't work." then just ignoring the person who sent you the message. Many of these people are active every day, posting in other topics. Just because you aren't a very well-known member doesn't mean you have to be ignored.

That's my little rant. No, my "feelings were not hurt"  or anything like that, I just felt like making a topic about it because it's so common (for me at least). However, some well-known members actually have taken the time to respond to me, like Space Guy, Darkstar, Packer and Burger.

So, do you have the same problem? Or not? Do you think this is a load of bullcrap? Just post your opinions here, as long as you have a good reason.





Some people get like 10 messages a day, it gets annoying as hell. Most of those 62 are from this month alone.

I respond with equal amounts of:

  • Confusion
  • Wanton aggression
  • Pentagon secrets
  • Lack of interest
  • Me not liking the Yankees
  • Confucianism
  • Dutch propaganda

I have gotten at least 10 messages saying, "do u want to chat?", or some variation of that, from people I dont even know. I simply dont have time to respond to half the messages I get. I currently have 134 messages. :/

I only have 42.

Yeah, I get a ton of fanmail.

Wow, you know, I really doubt that.

I tend to clean them out once a month, I have 86 left over.

I get death threats D:

I only got messages when I was a No-Avatar and couldn't respond.


I usually only get PM's from people looking for help (mostly back when I went through my "Help everyone possible" phase) and responses from idiots whom I've tried to show the error of their ways.

I respond to everything I get which isn't handicapped, like "how yu make an events? how is event formed??" or the completely nonsensical stuff that comes with no explanation at all like "I downloaded your emitters but they dont work?????? How do I make an emitter?????"

I'm not exactly popular either (thank GOD) so I guess that helps. I figure the more popular folk get so much crap they only bother rummaging through it when their power level is high enough.

Hey, Space Guy, you have 902 messages, 0 are new.

I'll try to respond to anything I get each day if you aren't being an idiot or asking irrelevant things I don't care about.
