Come to my party, fully prepared.

I agree with you, allknowing. And I think that reacting to posts isn't just enough in expressing how a person feels about it. Sharing similar experiences would make it even more interesting to respond to again. And also, this makes a connection between members as well.

sounds like fun.. you should make it a business and get paid for this. Many might need a service like that. id say you should have games for prizes. For adults and for kids. Makes parties alot of fun.. Take care there...

Whoop! Whoop! Ready for a party! I try to be as colorful and personable as possible when I respond, but there are times when I feel like a flop so my responses will reflect it. Kind of like attending a great party without the energy to enjoy it. Not nice.

I think it has two sides, both party- and discussion-wise. -you have to know the target audience - like if you're gonna plan a party for really posh and stuck-up people, cardboard cut outs and colorful and tacky balloons just won't work... the same goes for discussions here... if the OP posts a discussion about something that may not concern everyone, they would get less answers -the commenters should take the time and effort into consideration... like if you only want to go to the party for free food, don't go, it's really much an insult to the planner or the host... it's the same as, if you don't have anything to say about the post, don't post just because you wanna earn money. Good party and discussion planning!!! :)

I totally agree with you allknowing. A party is only as good as the people attending and a discussion is only as good as the responses. You can have a great discussion topic but if no one wants to give quality responses or just one line responses it can definitely fall flat. On the other hand, you can have a mediocre topic that can veer off in all sorts of directions and become quite interesting if the responses are well thought out and lively.

So you are a party organiser that must be exciting work to do. And you are right you can only plan the things but you can't make the people dance so if they are not willing to enjoy the party then no matter how well you organised, it will be a flop. Similarly you can only post a good discussion and to some extent try to make it alive but if the other members are not interested than nothing much you can do about it. Good luck for your party.

hi allknowing oh my hope I can add something bu t what maybe a game to play or a song to sing or just be friendly with thge other mylotters here.Try to make an intelligent appropriate response to the discussion and add my five cents worth,inflation you know, and maybe it will help interest others.Yes we should put our hearts into our responses as we all are sort of selling ourselves in a way to others here.

I am a day late with my comment, and now I am not sure if the party is something of the past? I trust that you were not let down allknowing. I was thinking that I wanted to come and dance for your guests, but now I am not sure?
