Yess I understand you. Literally ghosting is almost so normalized bc of social media. They prob think that there’s no need to give an explanation to you since you’re NOT even going to see each other in rl.
Like damm did your ego get too big or something?
Communication really sucks these days👋🏽
Maybe they bump it because of the person before ghosting them? I mean it can be possible. it has happened to me… It’s really irritating. or other reasons, like what if they are looking for the same help again for another story (like co-author, coder, artists) but instead of creating a new topic, they bump the previous one? I mean it doesn’t mean that these happen for everyone, but maybe these are the reason some people are bumping?
Let’s see from a different point of view. A person wills to help you with something. Then you pm them with the details but they don’t reply. Maybe they are busy? They can be, as you know, everyone has a life outside forums. You wait for 4days or maybe more, but then you lose hope of them coming back and have no other way rather than bumping your previous ‘help’ topic? I mean no harm but it can be the case.
sorry to not be clear enough. suppose a person is helping you in a long term (coder, outfit creator etc.) and after helping a while, they suddenly stopped responding. (It can be because they are busy or network problem)but you still need help. so, you bump that previous ‘help’ topic.
I’ll be honest, I was guilty of this too😅
I made my first thread last year, in hopes of helping community authors getting their stories noticed.
I underestimated the amount of requests and when about 30++ replies entered my mailbox😵it overwhelmed me.
I was only able to pick some to read and give reviews, I stopped somewhere 10 (I think?)
I felt horrible though. I didn’t have the time to get to the forums for quite some time after that because schools are reopened in my country. I didn’t come back until a year later, meaning that I left most authors on seen…
If anyone reading this had sent me a request before (and got ignored), I want to apologise, I do not intend to leave you hanging but I’m well aware my behaviour is unacceptable.
This is sad, I closed my thread because of that. No one paid attention to it, many people have threads sharing their characters but people prefer to create new ones
People prefer to create new threads instead of visiting other threads that offer help. This is the main reason why I closed most of my threads :(( I hope this doesn’t happen to other people
