Do you post a thread and no one replys but another posts a similar one and it gets 50+ replys
I have posted pics of my Little Nicholas and it seems no one cares to comment and that bothers me. I Love my Nicholas as if he were my child, but no one comments.........Hey I am just being honest here, I love my baby just as much as the rest of you and I am proud of him. But whenever I post a pic of him I get very very few replys. I was just wondering why?Is it because he is a Parti???

well the partis are an issue..so dont look for too much love...you should probably just stop worrying about it..

i personally like the partis
but i dont browse the cute photos..i am more interested in the informational threads..

Hmmm, I just saw this thread, minutes after posting on your "mommy, let me in thread".

The thing is when a thread gets a lot of replies, it takes on a life of its own. Everytime someone replies, it pops to the top of "new threads" and more people see it, more people reply, it stays at the top. It works the same in reverse if a thread gets missed... I REALLY think it's the luck of the draw.

I have a suggestion for anyone reading this...from time to time, choose the threads you read based on # of replies to that thread. You can search "unanswered threads" or just scroll down looking for replies of 3 or 4...sometimes your bump is all a thread needs to garner a lot of new responses.

OP, don't take it personally...please. Your little guy is adorable! I just love pics of him!

I agree, Last week I posted happy birthday to Baxter and only 1 reply, while the next had 19 lol. That is ok. I love my baby, and that is all that matters. I think your baby is just beautiful. I do know that lots of times I come on just to see what everyone else is saying, but I may be at work and only have limited time to do that, so there isn't time to reply.
So maybe it just isn't that people are biased but just busy.
I understand what you mean about Nicholas being like a child My Baxter and Zeke are the same to me. My Children kid me about having two furry brothers lol

bchgirl · 10-26-2008, 04:52 AM

Ok...I confess. I am totally JEALOUS 'cause I think Nicholas is breath taking and utterly precious. But I'm dang sure not telling ya that. LOL.

Some of my threads get several replies and some of them do not. Some threads I kill just by replying on them.

Btw, I never knew your "real" name....I'm a Deb too.

Missiemiss · 10-26-2008, 04:53 AM

I agree with you - first - I think the forum has gotten too big. There are so many posts to go through.

I also believe that with the tenure of many people tend to get into groups of likings, dislikings, etc.

DO not take it personal at all. Your baby is absolutely beautiful! I have a pup with the parti gene too. She is so smart, absolutely adorable and is so loving. I know some would not want that "gene" but I know others who would LOVE to have one in their family! I love them all - why? It's the big brown, trusting and loving eyes!

tjdmom · 10-26-2008, 04:58 AM

Your little guy is gorgeous and yes I'm jealous.

But I wouldn't ignore your thread at all because of that. i think that what others have said is true. It's just luck in a lot of cases and how many people see it at the beginning. I wouldn't take it personal either!

peanut · 10-26-2008, 05:10 AM

Awww he is gorgeous, I don't think anyone is not responding because he is a parti , he is beautiful. I post in threads and it seems I kill them, but I think the big problem is like me, I haven't been on like I use too, and I miss a lot of the threads or don't see them. I wish I could spend more time on here like before. At least your not killing the threads like me

( hopefully I willn't kill yours)

AprilLove · 10-26-2008, 05:20 AM

First of all, your little boy is precious and darling and cuuuuute!!!!!

I am biased....... I only look at 4 legged furry creatures of every color

because I love them so.

All kidding aside, I agree that posts get lost very quickly here. YT has gotten so big that if you don't get on for 3 or 4 days, there are thousands of new posts. When I first joined in 2006, it was definetely not this big and was much easier to get through posts and actually get to know people by their babies. Some get lots of views and no replys, some get few views and lots of replies.
Nicholas is beautiful and I know what you mean when you say he is like your child.

scruffycharlie · 10-26-2008, 05:26 AM

i'm pretty new, but i agree with the people who say, this place is just busy. a person can only reply to so many posts in a sitting, and it's a grab bag as to whose gets chosen. lol.

i don't know anyone yet, so i mostly am just looking at a video here and there, and photos.

i don't think people are purposely avoiding your posts, i wouldn't worry about that.

IluvLucy · 10-26-2008, 05:27 AM

I think your baby is precious! I don't think people deliberately ignore your posts, because I've been here for a while now and I have it happen, too.

I don't always respond - but I read MANY posts. Many times I"m in a hurry and just want to get "caught up" by just reading. When I can, I post, and I'm sure many people are like me - but please don't take it personally if you don't get a lot of responses.

adorame · 10-26-2008, 06:07 AM

I am not sure why some threads get more replies than others. I have been a member for over a year, though I am not a donating member ( I have to sneak a check out somehow because my husband is against it )I have posted a few that I thought for sure would of gotten a bunch of replies myself and they did not. The only thread I ever posted that took off was one on make up! LOL

It can be frustrating at times especially when I have posted pictures of my little cuties and only get 5 replies( not counting my own replies thanking whoever posted), It makes me wonder if I am biased on their cuteness

I know that members really Don't think they are not cute, but none the less, I stopped posting pictures up on threads and just update my photo albums now and I really don't start any threads anymore, I just post in other's, no hurt feelings that way!

phfgkl · 10-26-2008, 06:11 AM

Your baby is gorgeous.

mblab · 10-26-2008, 08:24 AM

I wouldn't really take any of it to heart. I know that's hard to do but that's what I've realized. The same thing has happened to me, which has made me hesitant to start any threads myself. (I tend to mostly reply to things now.) You can't help but feel personally responsible for lack of interest in something you post, I know. But like everyone else has said that can easily be attributed to the vast amount of posts that happen! You go away for a little while and there's no hope of catching back up! That and you are right, there are groups of friends, and of course you're going to want to post and talk with your friends more!

Your baby is just precious! Don't feel bad, it happens to everyone! Maybe we should make our own group of friends. You know, the people that feel left out.

Then we could all reply to each other.

Patti · 10-26-2008, 08:30 AM

Your baby is gorgeous. I think we all have been disappointed by the number of replies to some of our threads, but just keep posting!!!

MindieRose · 10-26-2008, 08:31 AM

I think he is beautiful! And honestly, I would rather not have any of those "holier than thou" type that have issues with partis posting to me if he were my baby. If someone has an issue with partis, that's their problem. Life is way too short to harbor so much anger or passion about the color of a dog if you ask me.
