Kathleen, I do not want anyone to think it is just new people that don't post to the subject. Even the most seasoned poster here gets in a hurry to post to everything and anything. Flip up a sparkly or just say "Nice job you are doing here", then run off and post that same item 50 more times. I have always wondered what that accomplishes. It is that mentality that keeps people from joining a forum and then being a useful member of the forum.

Hi Jo,

I also include a tiny ad with my friendship invitations, it doesn't even seem like an ad.  If people don't complain, I guess we're doing fine with whatever we're sending them, if anything.

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for visiting!  I try to stay in the topic of forums I visit, most forum owners appreciate a good reply.

I think people stopped communicating properly when TV was invented.  All the old movies before the 1950's had a lot more intelligent conversations.

Yes, I'm also surprised and glad to see Rahul here, he and I have something in common.  What?  What?  What? 

Your topic is really interesting Kathleen!! Here on adland, I read MANY forums (lol...lurk) but Kathleen I don't always add a note. Especially if I don't agree with the forum owners opinino. I have a question is...how do I spam in my own forum?

I thought if the forum is OURS and the topic is ADVERTISING, we were free to post ads there?  I just don't get all the rules that are laid out I guess.  Pat

Hmmm,

"I want people to read my information. If they don't want to read it, I know they're not serious, and I don't want to work with them. I think of it as a way of weeding out tire kickers."

Me thinks you've got something there Trina... ;) (we need smileys)
