Don't worry about it, I'm the same, what you will probably find is that eventually you will get a response, I sometimes go into the section for discussions with no responses and post one or two. What I've also found is that it can depend on the time of day as to whether you get responses.

I found it kind of ironic that when I found this discussion there was only 4 responses. As suggested by a previous poster, make some friends, I have hundreds, but only a hadful of them are "close" and it is only for them that I keep the "notify of new discussion" feature switched on for. I tend to babble a lot, lol. And I appreciate discussions in which the original poster has really put some thought and effort into their question or topic. Keep plugging away at it. A lot of the time my discussions go without any responses, or sometimes 1 or 2. Others get hundreds... Good luck, I'm going to request you as a friend ;) And get on your aunts case to come and back you up some more LOL ;)

One thing you can do is get a lot of friends that can help you reply to your topic. Be kind enough so people will be happy to help you. Be nice and friendly with the community.

One way to get people talking is to talk about something that you KNOW everyone is talking about, like gas prices, politics, unemployment, welfare, etc. Whether people agree or disagree with your comments, they will undoubtedly respond. You don't have to be mean about it, just get your opinion out there and people WILL talk.
