I went through times when I felt ignored and did not bother to start my own threads. However, recently, I have had some lovely responses to threads I have started and have enjoyed the attention very much. I do notice that some forums are quieter than others. For example, I might want to get more of a response than the ADHD forum offers - as nothing much seems to happen there - I would rather post in general than post there -just using that particular forum as an example.
