I'm from the UK and I never get ignored, maybe its just already been answered chick that's why you don't get a response. Which posts are you referring to x
I didnt say anything about it being because i'm from the UK, I'm just making a general observation. I know ur posts always get replied to as u are one of the people I am refering to....anyway i'm not looking to cause an arrgument I just think that this is a disscussion board for everyone...........
It doesn't have to be natural to be fabulous!!!/

it is a discussion board for everyone, and sorry you feel left out, but the more you come and the more people get to know you, the more people will contribute. Its not ment in any sort of deliberate way, its just human nature, we all try to help, but yes, sometimes I will ignore posts if I feel that I have nothing to contribute to them.

i dont think this board is cheeky. newbies are always welcomed. as kalika said the more you post the more you get to know people. the more give you give out in reponses to other posts generally the more you get back. sometimes people just dont have the answer to a post and sometimes it has been answered so many times .. you just have to search for it.
That's what I think, if something has been asked I tend to get a bit bored with responding to be honest I know that sounds really bad for newbies but its just the way everyone feels to be honest. I think we need a section where we can store things or something x Is there anything you need to know chick x
Ok so i've noticed that this board is very cleeky, U lot only answer to each others posts because ur all friends and practically every other post gets ignored. I'm gonna stop posting any posts as they never get any replies and just get ignored.....i'm not complaining as I do have other things in my life to occupy my time with-just an observation.
I've personally never experienced that, even though I rarely post :P (mostly because I search thru previous posts - and almost always find the answers i'm looking for in those!)
I also don't post to threads I feel I can't contribute to :)
I will freely admit that I respond more quickly to threads started by people I "know"
However, I try to add something to threads where I have any knowledge eventually.
I'm guessing, I'm part of this 'clique' as well, but half the time very few people have a response to my posts...
I'm a newbie and all of my posts have been responded to, like Aeone said though, I always try and find the answer I need before I post though... so maybe its just your posts have already been answered in previous threads...
As far as message boards go, this one is waaaay more welcoming that 99% of other boards I've posted on.
Hi there Shockin Pink Petals! I feel bad that you feel that way you do. I am a new person here on the board, and my posts have been responded to and welcomed. Please give it another try. There is SOOOO MUCH good information and people here.

I haven't been here all that long but I found it rather easy to merge in with the flow here. I have noticed a bit of impatience with people who post things like "what is a shrinkie?" and stuff like that which can be easily researched here through the search but all and all have found most everyone to be very helpful to newbies.

ouch....Im sorry that you feel like that SPP, youve been around here quite sometime. I try to answer ANYONES posts...whether it be a newbie or a veteran, if I know the answer. If I dont know I tend to leave it alone for someone more qualified and experienced to help.
I did see your last two posts both which were about hairraisers course. I dont think many people here are familiar with hairraisers. I personally dont know anything about hairraisers....I had nothing to contribute, and your last post didnt ask any questions you just said that you went on the course and what the cost was in UK. I just have no knowledge of hairraisers or nothing to contribute to the thread. It had nothing to do with any 'clique' whatsoever!
I agree with everything that has been said. Some times my posts generate quite a few responses ~ on the other hand other ones have gone unanswered. So I don't think it has anything to do with who is posting. I think that it's either because it's repetitive and you can find the answer in the archives (like everyone has said) or because no one has the answer. And sometimes things get lost in the shuffle too.
I know I try to answer the unaswered ones , I feel bad to see that 0. Eaven if it is just to advise a search or recomend someone who might have the answers. Some times you have to bump your question back to the top so it has another chance to be seen. I too read your post about the class but just didnt have a responce to it. Come on you've been on this board for quite awhile now that makes you part of the click girl lol!

Hi Shockin...if it is any consolation, I post on a lot of the different HairTalk boards...not just this one....and most people never respond to my posts at all. It used to hurt my feelings but then I decided that either the other visitors don't have anything to add to my posts..or...they are so lame (my posts) that they don't want to embarrass me by answering them...LOL...or that they just get distracted and buzz off somewhere else.
Of course I don't have any friends either like AMM. (Love that answer AMM).
Also....if you pose a very specific question...you may get more answers than if you don't.

I a newbie with a whopping 47 posts. I don't have a whole lot to contribute so I read way more than I post. I'm still learning so much from this board. I appreciate each and every posts because there is so much great information being passed along.
I will always share and contribute when I can!

Interesting. I actually thought this was one of the more friendlier boards. I've been on boards before where you get totally ignored unless you act an ass, then they'll pay attention to you.
I don't really post that much but when I do I don't feel ignored. I will admit that if the question has been answered 1000 times already I won't respond but I"m often amazed at the lengths regular posters will go to answer a question that can be answered by doing a search. That's why I say this board is pretty friendly.
