Angie_Phoenix Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Not sure which one it is, but I really like the blog posts from this site and have posted an intro and first challenge thread but not really getting any responses or even any views. I'm torn between trying to read/respond to a bunch of other people, just lurking, or giving up on the forums completely. I am fortunate to have some other well developed support systems, so should be ok either way. I do feel a bit self conscious about it though. Quote Link to comment

Krioni Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hey Angie_Pheonix, Yeah, not getting responses/views kinda sucks. But kudos for not letting that turn you off and jumping back in! I see you're a LARPer. I've been somewhat fascinated by LARPing, but I'm too busy with my tabletop RPG group and other commitments to add any new hobbies. I did watch Realm of LARP on the Nerdist channel, but not sure how representative that was of the hobby in general. Anyway, keep pressing on! Looks like you're doing great things. Be well!

Calli Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Everyone has their turn at being a thread killer, -especially- on their own threads. It won't last, people will respond! Quote Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks for the support and taking the time to read/reply. I'll keep plugging away. Quote Link to comment

I do feel a bit self conscious about it though.Pick about 5-10 people to respond to and see how that works. Sometimes there are so many of us it is easy to get lost in a crowd.

aikijits Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi Angie_Phoenix! Welcome! Your topic title was intriguing! I had to drop by and say hi. I lurk mostly, once in a while I say howdy and I post almost daily in the battle log (I do it mostly for me). I agree with Elastigirl, sometimes it's easy to get lost in the crowd, but having cool topic titles certainly does help with things. -AJ Quote Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 If I had someone who almost never posts write I must have done something right. still exploring the site. So far I'm just reading challenge posts and keeping mine up to date. What are battle logs? Quote Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Ah I see. I think how I was thinking off using my challenge thread makes more sense to put there. Quote Link to comment
aikijits Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Did you put anything into the Battle Log yet?-AJ Quote Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Not yet still lurking and trying to decide how to log.... Quote Link to comment
AmberVon Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 It's always hard being new to a forum. I really enjoy reading but sometimes I feel awkward saying anything. I really have to push myself to speak up and give input! I'm much the same offline - pretty introverted until I know you and then I can chill out and 'hang'.

Damaramu Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Man I didn't know people had these problems. I figured if you read something and wanted to comment you just did. It's ok guys, just follow all my posts. I can't shut up! Quote Damaramu's Battle Log: Sick And Tired Of Being Fat And Out Of Shape Link to comment
Meant2Move Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey Angie, Honestly, I have been feeling the same way. I came here from another forum that got hacked and shutdown. I was really comfortable with a group of people there and really miss them. I just haven't felt the warm fuzzies here (for the most part), but I am trying to give it time. My challenge thread is me and 2 occasional visitors, but like someone else mentioned above, I am doing it for me so that is ok. I think Elastigirl has it right, there are so many folks here, it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Hang in there, and know that I am happy to chat and hang out. Based on your picture, I am thinking you are a runner, so am I. And I know you want to do pull-ups, I can help with that! Quote M2M- Do something everyday!
