general How do you feel when no one replies to your status updates?

[Dsanders 5,742]

To be honest, whenever I post status of when I'm upset or depressed.... I really do expect people to comment and give me at least some decent comfort, and when that doesn't happen, I usually end up feeling more like shit...

 

I agree with Clarity, the warm, loving, and friendly active atmosphere this site had is really fading away.... and it's quite depressing to see what has become of here.

 

Less activity, more selectivity, a stronger sense of favoritism.... yeah this site can really bum me out sometimes, in regards to it's lack of activity and life.

I don't often post stats, and when I do, I just pretty much use it as a trash can where I can dump my stuff (won't expect replies, but will be quite glad when there are a few).

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

I don't really mind. You have to take into consideration that most people tend to reply to status updates that they receive while they are online. A lot of updates that I get notified of when I am offline tend to go unread so I'm sure this is the case for others who get flooded with dozens of updates on a daily basis. Some people even have those notifications disabled entirely. The best way for your status updates to get noticed is to have a lot of friends because they are more likely to see the updates, as opposed to other members who would have to see the update while it is on the front page. Even then you will be luckier with some updates than others. I am happy if I get only one reply or two.

I'm still new so I have yet to post any, but I don't know, I think I would be sort of upset if I got no replies 

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

I delete the status

 

I close all tabs

 

Shut off my computer

 

I toss it out my window

 

I cry for several hours

 

I get over it and make the same status again

 

Rinse and Repeat

[Virulence 254]

That's a great question. When no one replies to mine, it really doesn't bother me that much, but then sometimes I see ponies with *8 comments* or *5 comments*. I feel a little left out, but sometimes it's just timing and whether it's worth replying to.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 637]

Depends for me. At least one or more people reply to my statuses with questions. Unless, its an important question, it can be irritating, otherwise, I post a topic.

 

If its something random, I don't always expect a reply.

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Considering I made my very first status update like 10 minutes ago and it was talking about me beating a game few people seem to know/care about, I'm really not too bothered.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,651]

I have to admit it – lately, it's quite lonely being on MLPforums and it just wasn't as inclusive as it used to be. Most of the time, only a couple of old and rather distant friends take notice of what I say, whether it is in a status update, a post, a blog, whatever. And it kind of gives me a dull feeling when I think how friendly this place used to be.

 

I hear ya on that. That's the downfall of a community becoming too large, that it becomes tougher to keep a tight-knit group intact. A lot of the old guard that grew with me and the forums have left and don't come around much.

[DubWolf 16,561]

There's a lot of factors that ultimately determine how I would feel about the status update.

 

-Usually, a lot of statuses get pushed down from the "recent statuses" list due to high activity, so I can understand that since my status did not get enough publicity, that it obviously wouldn't get a response, unless people view my profile page and have a chance to do so. If that is the case, then,

 

-If my post is something random or not really relevant to MLP (talks about YouTube or something else), then I can't expect the audience to know much about the topic anyways. My most common status is a joke (which might not have enough curious viewers), so if enough time passes by, I'll just go "oh well", and post the punchline.

 

-If it's something serious or an issue I have that I posted, or if I ask someone to message me, I might just feel a bit disappointed and think that nopony out of the many who are online wishes to just chat with a fellow brony. But, I'm usually fine if I don't get a response, overall.

[Moaning Myrtle 196]

I feel pretty bad when someone gets like 20 replies and I get little to none :/

 

But I'm sure a lot of people feel that way when their status update doesn't get replied to.

 

I usually post weird things that aren't relevant,but when I see.

I don't really expect people to, a lot of the time. People reply much more often when I'm posting some cute piece of fanart than when I'm talking about how I feel or something boring like that. There are times when I'm looking for someone to talk to and I'd like a response, but I don't really reply to others' statuses all that often either, so it'd be pretty silly to complain about it.

[hawkflame 3,308]

Honestly, most of the time I update just to throw something out there and get it off my chest. Any replies I get are just bonus.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I never really expect to get any replies. I'm more or less just being random, or saying something on my mind. Getting a reply to a status is like hawkflame said, a bonus.

[FadedSkies 1,874]

Sometimes when no one replies to my status updates i kinda feel sad, and then i think what if they don't like me or what if I'm annoying ( i can be sometimes :S) but really thats okay because sometimes there isn't really anything to say to that status and i don't really expect a lot of people to reply. But if some one posts a status update thats pretty similar to mine and gets like 20+ replies then i know I'm not liked around here

I get a little sad when no one replies, because the whole reason I post is so people will see it. I assume if no one replies that they didn't see my post. 

[SS Patches 138]

i try to reply to status's that i actually know that i understand it but i do feel kinda sad when i make a status and it gets no comments 

[catnet 9,353]

I don't really mind, to be honest. I don't think I deserve too much attention anyway, and I know that people can be too busy doing other things to reply to my random updates. Plus, some of my updates aren't very easy to reply to, I imagine, so it's understandable to me if no-one replies, and I don't get disappointed.

[Gernia 690]

I feel a little disappointed since it seems like others are not really that interested or care. Otherwise, I get over it quickly.

[VinylWubs 1,249]

I Feel...a little upset because most of my friends are like my family and I would be upset if they didn't reply to one of my status..

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Depends on how I feel. Sometimes I don't care while other times I feel forgotten and being lonely is one of the reasons for feeling this way.

[Pastel 7,627]

I don't mind, sometimes I don't even expect a reply.

[Magic Note 2,734]

To be honest, I don't mind if people don't respond. It's usually a small update going on in my life or a musing. If people don't reply, I understand they're busy.

[Venomous 18,813]

Sure, I like getting comments on my status updates. But if I don't get any, it doesn't bother me too much because I just use the feature to express a temporary thought.

[Tom Snyder 4,111]

I like getting comments on my status updates.

But if I don't get any, it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm the same way, it won't bother me either.
