If you can't understand why i wouldn't visit a section of the forum that doesn't apply to me well then I guess there is not much more to say....Nowhere did I say I disliked anything, so don't put words in my mouth. I said I don't keep tropicals, so i don't visit that section. Just like I said I don't have suiseki, so I don't visit that section...it's not science. it's how people use forums.

I suspect you don't have any more examples of what I'm asking for....as you are now trying to turn this conversation into a negative by becoming rude.
 
Sawgrass,
Do you feel you don't get enough comments, replies, likes, or praise in threads of your own for work you post?

There is no negative being put forth, just merely an observation. I thank you though! We have taken up way to much space and time within this thread. Let others discuss their views.

Just a shame you couldn't post links of the great trees everyone is missing.
 
In life some folks are better at marketing their personal brand than others. Some believe substance and results should speak for themselves, but in reality that is rarely the case.

Who are "the cool kids"? Just wondering.... By the way, I voted "no" in this pole.

I don't think of it in terms of "cool kids" versus "non cool kids", but there are definitely cliques (as with almost all social situations), fan clubs, that kind of thing. It's pretty obvious if you pay attention, and commonplace on every forum I've been a part of.

"Cliques" most certainly is a better word.
I chose "cool kids" because it reminds me of being 5 and at school. Lol!
 
Hang around long enough you know who knows what species...I tend to PM those for a specific question anymore on particular topics. Or if I'm not thinking I'm grasping something right. I post in my comments when offering advice. If I'm not quite sure on something. I don't claim to know much of anything. I still classify myself as a newbie to a degree.
 
Karma will just make the cliques more cliquey. And there are certain people who will annoyingly farm for karma so that in future debates, they can cite their superior karma level as proof that their opinion is more valuable that someone else who isn't a karma whore.

You can learn a lot about people by checking to see whose posts they always "like" (or conversely, who they never like). Except for those who basically like every single thing that is posted (you know who you are)..

Like, give karma and share to get a visit from Mark Zuckerberg to personally give you $1,000,000 worth of Facebook stock at midnight!
 
I didn't "like" that...cuz I don't know what it means!

And Carp is definitely one of the cool kids!

Funny......a thread about information...
Had the most....misinformation!

Zipppppp.

Hang around some more!

You may just have to learn to love it as it is.

This. No karma button, no dislike button, no member bans, we got noobs, we got pros, we got know nothings to know-it-alls, from sticks in pots to show winners, cliques, cool kids, foeminas, mugo trains, progressive maple challenges, box store challenges, time capsules this place has it all, love it and don't try to change because it ain't changing.

I don't grow tropicals, so I don't go into the tropical section... I assume most people who don't do tropicals don't go into that section either, just like i don't go into other sections that I can't learn from or add to like stands, suiseki or accent plants. But I do see the post received some likes, and some responses.....

At one time I went to all forums...now, I'm more apt to not open threads that I know little on...or will never own as a northerner. So I get that...if I have time...I might open to take a look. But...I find myself spending less time doing that. And more time in archives. Carp/Seth...has some nice trees. I've admired many of his. I don't like every photo I open though...I once did. But, not any longer...I come to realize ones don't want a like on every photo. My own posts as well...I don't need one to like it to have me feel good about where I am...or what I'm accomplishing. Sharing isn't always about that.

I also don't pay mind to the titles given under our names...never really did. For there are new ones which have far more knowledge as I...so that title doesn't even apply to my way of looking at ones here. But, I have seen ones who focus on that...but, just hanging around...and reading archives will shed light onto the fact who knows what. Like Vance... You can't think of Vance without thinking Mugo. Just as others I think of a particular species with their name...

After logging in, 99% of the time, I either hit the "new posts" button and skim through them, stopping on only the titles that interest me, or I use the search function to research a specific topic. At the end of a slow day, I might see 30% of the new posts and the rest fall off the page and are gone forever (at least to me) ...and I'm ok with that:).
 
Currently listening to Ice Cube sing or should I say rap, "No Vaseline"...
