Welcome to PC!

It takes awhile for us to get to know people, so it helps when people post often. We also get so many newbies who make a post and get replies and then we never see them again. So maybe sometimes people don't take the time to post a long reply unless they know the person will return.

Like has been said too, some of us only few certain forums. I've only got about 12 or so forums on my "favorites" view. (You can set it to only show favorite forums). I only have personal experience in certain areas, so I don't visit forums where I don't have experience. Most of us share on the things we've experienced for ourselves, so if a topic isn't getting many replies, it may just be that there isn't a member who understands at that moment.

I've also seen some older threads be brought back to life when a newbie browses through and finds a topic they understand or also need help with. It seems a lot of topics ebb and flow as people need help with them.

The best way to get known is just to post often. You can start in the less intimidating threads if you like, replying to posts or starting topics. The more we see of you, the more we get to know you.

There are several fairly new members who have posted a lot or talked in chat, and I forget that they're fairly new until I see their sign up date. They've just jumped right in and started talking.

Just like with any community, it takes some time to get acclimated. So just post often and we'll get to know you.
