Lack of Replies/Interest

I'm very happy being a member of this forum. Despite some great topics, photos and stories, there's one area we are bad at: replies and interest. It's disgusting to see the lack of replies and interest with MANY of the posts. Maybe an attitude adjustment is needed for some. For example, I have 2 speedos for sale at a very decent price. I' selling them for less than half of what I paid. Instead of throwing them in the garbage, I decided to sell them. I won't be rich, but at least someone can enjoy the speedos at a very cheap price and they haven't been worne at all. Many of you will probably go on ebay and purchase swimwear from a complete stranger but you have no interest to purchase from a fellow member.

Id buy them from you, but they are not my correct size.

Ive noticed that too--but the guys who do post, will post on the forums.

We are all glad to have you on the forum--dont take it personal when no one replies

I've joined a few boards, and who knows why there is sometimes no response. Sometimes I go to reply, but then think again if someone has already said what I wanted to say, then I usually don't.

But then I made an exception that time when by total coincidence you and I were online at the same time, complimenting the new guy from NC about his suit and good looks. The notice came up telling me to maybe reconsider, but I posted anyway. I mean, it kind of looks like I just copied you (generally speaking, this is bad board etiquette), but then what are the odds of 2 people thinking pretty much the same thing at the same time? So I posted.

Another "unwritten rule" of these boards seems to be "don't be a posting whore" posting for the sake of posting.

Don't take it personally. I'm glad to see another Canuck here.

Cheers, 5t9

I'm no posting whore for sure. But I see your point. I simply post a reply on something I like.

I'll send this in a private message as well. The black speedo is a size S (small), or size 30 waist. The other one by Aussiebum is a size M (medium). If you go to the speedo shopping section, you can see pictures of them.

Hi, I think the lack of replies might just be that we have a small membership [We're an elite I guess!]. I'm on some other forums [Non-swimwear] that have huge memberships and you are pretty much garunteed a reply as soon as you post anything, not that it's always relevent mind you!
