would you be discouraged to post another post if you're not receiving responses?

Yes my friend,let like you today how many discussions you posted may be more than 5 why your so many posting? do you expect a response? I we are posting and posting but not caring the responses - we cannot discourage unlike you post one or two but no responses something wrong in your discussion or your being sad and dis-appointed.

We can post it modifying the contents suitably and also post it in different timings--US timing or India timings -- accordingly response may come. Try, try till u succeed.

Oh no we should never be discouraged. There are many times that users start several discussions in one sitting causing many discussions to be deep in the pages. The further below in the pages the less likely for it to be seen and eventually it ends up in the no responses tab. The more like this the further into the no response tabs it goes. I have been known to go to the no response tabs and find excellent discussions sitting there for days and or weeks. It is a joy for the discussions starter once I have responded to it and to later revisit it and find several others responding to it. Reason is that once it receives a response it goes right back up to the recent discussions tab where several other members then see it. So I say we should not be discouraged, as discussions are limitless with no expiration dates and many can respond to them at any given time.

To be honest if my discussions do not merit even a dingle response I would be very frustrated. It seems nobody is interested in what i am saying or the message i want to send through. But I will not mind at all for a few days. I still wait!

I believe that when one is searching for a Gold, even stones that resemble gold ore are placed in that same bucket one use in collecting pure Gold. In this case, I will try starting a topic in hot-spot interests and see how it goes. If the situation gets worse or no still no response, then I will try commenting on other people's posts, pausing questions to see whether someone can pick up from there. In this way, one learns likes and dislikes of the people and ways to handle their silence. ...put all eggs in one basket, and be more careful on how to handle them...

Yes, I think the action is that we should not get discouraged. But to be honest, it can't be helped. For me, it is but natural to be discourage when your started topics and discussions doesn't net a response from others. It feels like you are casted out or that you are too lame to start a topic. But of course, I'd feel that way at first and then move on after that. But still it can't be helped not to feel discouraged at that.

I don't post very much these days, but spend my time responding. I have posted where there were no responses a while ago, and I didn't worry about it. There were eventually repsonses a month or so later. _Derek

No, I wouldn't.Once I created a discussion with a very uninformative and strange title.It was new and it was at the top, but people kept responding to older discussions and nobody seemed interested in mine.When I finally realized what's wrong and read that miserable title, I created another discussion which got it's first response after 4 minutes.Do not get discouraged because of 0 responses, pick another interest and try again.

I have been here for some time and I do see I do not get many responses but what is important here is activity of which there is no dearth. My experience of my getting 0 responses is very less but I do have such discussions. No problems really. There is no reason for anyone here to be discouraged as there is more here than starting topics for discussion.

Actually, if my discussion gets 0 responses, even after a month, i would really be sad. However, i will take it as a challenge to improve my discussion. Or maybe , i would forego of starting a discussion, but simply just respond to others' discussions. I still get to have my ideas expressed that way.

Hello zills66, Normal reaction would be - a person will definitely get discouraged if he does not get any response to his discussion.But for me people should not get discouraged as they should analyse & come up with much interesting discussions by learning from others. I had a discussion in the starting on which i did not get a response i got discouraged and did not started discussion till long time and by the time i participated in others discussion by responding them and after some gap of a week i posted a discussion in which i got some responses which made me motivated so at present i have been starting discussions though less. So we should not get discuouraged but should take it as challenge and come up with more interesting discussions.
