How do you get people to respond to your posts?

I have been posting stuff for a long time. But, on forums, nobody will respond to my posts. They think they can just do whatever and slack off. I need help! Can you give me some advice? (P.S. My posts are very important.) Thanks! ~Ryan Robbins

No one is slacking off, they just don't have something to say. There's a saying "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" - likewise, you can lead a Scratcher to a forum topic, but you can't force him/her to post in it.

Re: How do you get people to respond to your posts?

There may be many reasons why others are not responding to your posts.

They may see the post and be interested, but decide that your post needs no commentary as it is already correct and well-stated.
They may find the post an obvious attempt at trolling, or complete nonsense, and do not want to waste energy on it.
They may have just completely missed the post, and have not yet seen it.
They may not have understood it.
They may not be interested in it.

One other reason I've found.
The person was on the family iPad and wanted to say something, but just didn't feel like logging in but was too lazy to walk up a flight of stairs to get to his computer XD
That's me for you XD

Also, you haven't really been posting for a long time.

^^  Or, they got that annoying database problem that erases your post and they didn't want to re-type.

Or you're not the real Ryan Robbins and they know that, so they ignore the trolls.
