OMG A VM! I MUST RESPOND RIGHT AWAY

[Sirfetch’d]

How good are you about responding to VMs? Do you respond right away or do you tend to wait or even forget about it?

 

[Honest]

Terrible. I'm absolutely terrible at VMs.

Back in 09, I guess I lived for that stuff. I VMed a hell of a lot more than I used the actual forum. So I guess I responded fairly well back then.

Now I'm just terrible. Like, horrendous. I blame laziness, honestly. And then I end up forgetting to respond to a few, and I feel terrible. =(

If you VM me and don't get an immediate response it means I'm not online. If I see the notification, I will always open in a new tab and respond to that before continuing whatever I was doing. idk I just feel like I'm being rude if I don't respond right away. :x

 

[Kanzler]

I will not be the judge of that, hehe. Either respond to it right away or make a commitment to do it "soon". That, or forget.

 

[Sanguine]

Urgh, I always feel so compelled to just open it and answer it, idk why xD

I have more VMs than I've posted, is that bad ;~;

 

[skyluigi2]

I generally respond as soon as I see them. Unless I can't think of anything to say... in which case I'll leave them and come back to them later.

 

[TheAwesomeUserName]

I respond to them as soon I can, because it would be considered rude to ignore them.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Yeah, I also respond as soon as I see them if I can. Sometimes I get distracted and forget, but otherwise if you VM me I should respond very quick unless I am offline.

 

[Tsutarja]

Most of the time I will reply back to all VMs, unless it was one I found to be really a bunch of nonsense. Sometimes it might be instant, and sometimes, delayed.

 

[Sheep]

I generally respond pretty fast but there are times when I put it off due to being lazy or busy and end up forgetting altogether. I try my best not to ignore anyone. :)

 

[Crunch Punch]

If I have 1-2 VMs then I respond in an instant.

if I have like 4-5 VMs pending (very rare lol) then I tend to respond to like half and then out of laziness just leave the rest for later. Very bad, I know.

Yes, yes, yes. This.
I do like VMs, don't get me wrong. . . But I don't know, I just don't do them very well. J:

 

[Kikaito plush]

I will respond to VM when I have the time.
I am not one to get a reply done as soon as I get one.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I don't respond to VMs sent by suspicious users, only VMs sent by veteran users of PC.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

I try and respond as soon as practicable. Otherwise I'll just end up forgetting about it. And that would be bad. I'm not as good as i used to be, due to other time pressures and the like, but I normally aim to respond to VMs within 24 hours or less.

 

[Megan]

If I ever get a VM I try to delay a response a little. My main reason is simply that I don't want to spam to much on other peoples profiles (I feel a little bit rude if I response in a short amount of time, get a reply, instantly post again, etc.).

Also it's kinda cool to know that I can respond anytime I want, it's more fun than doing it mechanicly. One could say it's always like a highlight for me. ^^"

 

[Patatas Fritas]

If I get sent a VM the second I notice it I reply, unless I'm busy doing something else. I'm quite good at replying fast but sometimes I look at the VM and don't reply and then I forget about it and wont notice it until I get another VM...

 

[TY]

When i see a notification and its a VM, i usually reply it first no matter what i was doing. I always reply to them if possible.

 

[Sableye~]

I have VMs disabled, so it really isn't a problem. Back when they were enabled, I replied right away. It wasn't difficult to do, considering there are only three people who I've talked to consistently via VM.

 

[Hiatus]

If I'm online, I check out my VM as soon as I get one. I try my best to always respond to them. If I don't respond to a VM, then that's probably because I have no idea what to say. xD When I receive multiple VMs, I tend to reply to the oldest ones first and the newer ones later.
