Does anyone care for newbies on this site?

I have tried a number of times but failed. I started a couple of times to interact with members of this site but they all have their own groups of favorite members so never reply to newbies. So I lost interest. Would you please care to look at newbies like me to encourage me?

It takes time suny - I've been around for years - people come and go. Do you respond to others? Do you make meaningful comments? Making friends is like cultivating a garden. You won't see the results right away - the roots must be built below the surface of the soil. But if a plant doesn't have a good root system, it can't last anyway.

I wish I could give you my track record on this site. I always respond to everyone even if they engage me in multiple comments and sub-comments. By the way, I am thankful for telling me the finer points for succeeding on this site.

It’s not About them being new it’s about they are not trying to asking the same question that have been answered many times to the point there is a frequent asked questions page. We love new Members coming in and starting means more opportunities to talk to someone. When I see a new one post they are new I always saying hi.

I promise not to ask the same questions again :) In fact, I have never done that ever on this site. Thank you so much for the heads up :)

A lot of newbies do not give the site a chance they give up

I agree but there are reasons for that. Some leave the site when they see discussions like breakfast and dinner getting more responses than meaningful ones. I hope you know what I mean!

I am new here as well. I was just busy offline that why after signing up, I was unable to maximize my time here. I am still busy but wanted to be here if I have spare time.

So sorry you had such a hard time in here. But I don't think people only respond to their friends. I think it's all about the content. People read whatever they're interested in reading. Plus, interacting makes them earn money, so why wouldn't they.. I hope it's going to be better from now on.

Thanks for your response. I know the interaction is the key but unless a member has responded on their threads, there would be no interaction. Right?

@Babino Sure I will start a discussion regularly from now on as and when I have some spare time to attend to the responses. I work offline too :)

@suni51 True but there are many ways to interact.. you can start discussions, respond to discussions, comment in someone's response..

You just have to keep on trying...I know I am very hit-and-miss here lately. I do try to respond to all who comments on my posts. If you show interest it will come with time, I think.

Hmm, sounds perfect! I feel the same, if someone comes to my discussion then it's my duty to respond to them. Not only that but to go to their latest discussion and contribute to that too! Thank you!

@suni51 I enjoy the interaction and the cultural differences here in this group, very much. It's a big world and I feel it helps draw people together, and we can learn from each other.
