Popularity and PC
 
I feel that I get ignored alot, dropping popularity, and posting less. I feel that because rarely, noone is replying, mostly everyone ignores my posts, and I feel upset. I know I wasn't on that much as last year because lot of things are happening in real life, that I cannot go on as much, but these days, when I go on, I don't feel that I am having any fun anymore. In 2003, I had alot of fun and early this year, but since theres no events, theres no way of me getting reconized or having fun...

I am sorry for having no fun anymore, but it's not how I like my PC experience, and it's not what I want my PC experience to be like that. I hope theres a way to enjoy PC as I used to instead of being ignored every day. =(

(I hate these kinds of posts, but I can't handle of being ignored anymore....)

Kayleigh August 16th, 2004 5:41 PM

I think that a lot of people are feeling this way, and it's hard to handle, but you do have to learn to deal with it. I don't feel as popular now anymore, but I don't worry about it or anything; As long as I still have all of my friends then I'm fine!

I think that with more people joining the site, it's hard to stay popular. Just keep posting, and don't worry about it, and I think that you'll start feeling better. ^_^; It's just one of those things that happens in life, whether online or offline.

Umbreon_Trainer August 16th, 2004 5:42 PM

I dont ignore you. well atleast. I try not to! but I hope you dont ahve to feel that way anymore

Timbjerr August 16th, 2004 5:42 PM

Alyssa, everyone feels that way at some point. Mostly, I just drop in once or twice a day now to do my moderating rounds then see what kind of crazy antics may be going on in the OC. I feel overly ignored, and most of the time, the topics that are around are too dull for me to post in regularly.

My advice: stick it through..you have a group of friends that you got to know here, you can spend your internet time talking to them via IM...you don't have to be here to have fun ya know...

Legendary_Pokegirl August 16th, 2004 5:48 PM

I have noticed a lot of people are feeling like this lately.....=/ I have been feeling that way lately too....not that I was popular in the first place. XD

Anyways, I hope you feel better about it soon. =( I'm sure everyone has felt like this before, popular or not....

Well sometimes for me i feel ignored but i learned as long as you have 1 or 2 good friends on you wont be ignored anymore.

ravenstorture August 16th, 2004 5:59 PM

I guess I know what you are feeling right now. Not that I have ever felt it because I have never been popular. I hope you feel better and continue to come. I always notice you, if that is any consolation.

Sakura and Espeon August 16th, 2004 6:00 PM

PC has been bored for these past days. Nothing exciting is going on anymore, which is apparently bad in my option because I usally come on every day to post at PC for fun. Thats what I do after school work, get on PC. ^_^... just to relax and socalize...

I know people has ups and downs too, but I think I should start posting in those introduction topics.

ravenstorture August 16th, 2004 6:03 PM

It will be alright. Your just going through a rough time, everyone does. You will get through it. Just try and have as much fun as possible. Get involved in all kinds of clubs and such.

Sakura and Espeon August 16th, 2004 6:15 PM

I get involved sometimes, but PC is not like it was before. PC became less fun after the dare thread. I might knew that this will happen, but hopefully things will get better.

This topic wasn't made for respect, just for comments and discussions. ^_^

Chairman Kaga August 16th, 2004 6:45 PM

There's been a shift here, caused mainly by the insta-famous newbies, the dare thread, and the thunderdome. I don't think that it's a matter of you becoming less popular or ignored, things are speeding up around here and it's hard to keep up. I've just given up on trying as I said in leave of absence, as I don't have much time on my hands and PC is changing in a way that is going to isolate me. I'm sorry you feel this way, but remember that it's not you causing this. It's other people. Just do what you always do, I suppose, from what I see you seem to be doing just fine.

Pokemaster10000 August 16th, 2004 6:48 PM

Oh boy....this is one of the reason why I'm not on as much.
I feel like being pulled away but I hanging on....I blame it all on IM's. XD
But still I got this urge to stay no matter what.....
I mean...there are more people online than ever but less activity than before.
And there are less threads to post than ever...and I can't believe I lost my interst in DC.

Well... don't worry Alyssa as I said on MSN, you still got your friends.

Sakura and Espeon August 16th, 2004 6:50 PM

Thats why I got high speed, so I can do more without wasting time waiting for it to load.

I am not pretty much worried now, maybe a namechange would. =o

Well if you change your name your friends are still the same and you would be the same. But people would still ignore you (no offense). So stay on please.

Spiro August 16th, 2004 6:57 PM

Hey..I read the posts of everybody ans try to help..but theres still someone that i miss
so just to tell thats its normal sometime to get "ignored"

Sakura and Espeon August 16th, 2004 6:59 PM

I never would say I would change my name.... I had enough with name changing... but the point of it is not to be hurt. Friends are always there... Like in Harry Potter =P

sometimes.... =P

Gardy August 16th, 2004 7:03 PM

i get ignored too i mean u r a nice person and sometimes ppl do get ignored but that dosen't mean anything especially when u have good friends.

Latios Master August 16th, 2004 7:16 PM

I sometimes feel like that too. Almost everyone does. Some members and even mods still confuse me with Sapphire Latios, because we have "Latios" in our names. XD

houndoomofdarkness August 16th, 2004 7:24 PM

Alyssa don't be sad i can relate to you i was never popular. i usually spent my time in the emulation thread.but i had started to get ignored by the group i was in so i started posting in other places and now i have more friends at the pc than ever..lol as long as you have friends you will never get ignored im sure you have some...ohhh yeah and just today anthem and i paired up so now i have a pair yay!!!(so happy) see posting at the pc has just gotten better it makes me so happy ....anyways i hope you get over this ok you have my full suport ok bye bye ^_^

Sakura and Espeon August 16th, 2004 7:27 PM

Well, Old PC has alot of fun and excitement, now it's just dull, now. I am planing a Get-Together though PC staff to see if we can have one this summer.

Don't get discouraged. ^_^

Solar August 16th, 2004 8:37 PM

I agree with you, PC isn't really as fun as it used to be. Most of my friends have drifted away from me and PC and now its just sad.

Sumomo & Kotoko August 16th, 2004 9:00 PM

Hey,I'm new I don't have any friends yet,and I wanted to know.Do you want to be my friend,Sakura and Espeon?

Also,Sparks_67,I like your sig pics!

Mew9 August 16th, 2004 9:10 PM

i have no friends here (the people on my list never even talk to me). It was a lot more fun when i first joined. I'm probably the most unpopular people here; no1 even responded to my new user post. I've killed more threads then ne1 else. Plus with things @ my house, and starting High school, i feel exactly as u do.

Well maybe you should try making new friends like on my long friends list i only talk 3 people but i talk to them everyday. There good friends and you could have good friends to.

Thank you and also your new it takes a couple of days to make friends here dont worry also.

Simon August 16th, 2004 10:12 PM

I don't really know why some of you feel ignored, but I just blame it on the summer. Everyone has something else to do.

Well he might be right but i did feel really ignored during the school year on PC but at school different story too many people to talk too. Also to be popular you have to have lots of freinds. But to good popular you have to have good friends so its not quantiy its quality.

James3 August 16th, 2004 11:48 PM

We should Have a PC CARNAVAL!!!!!
with everyone runnning round headless having loads of fun pokemon races and challenges and wedding s and all night partys

And to get Pc Popular get people to advertise ojn serebii and stuff

Simon August 16th, 2004 11:58 PM

Erm...what?? This has nothing to do with how popular PC is. I don't think so anyways. And I doubt Serebii would permit us to advertise.

James3 August 17th, 2004 12:01 AM

A carnaval is and Idea to make Pc fun again

It's simple. Sometimes you post something & absolutly nobody replies to your comment - ignored.

Sakura, I feel the same way. What I do to counter that feeling is chat with people from PC on MSN. It has helped me quite a bit.

Simon August 17th, 2004 12:29 AM

I spend most of my time chatting on MSN. Mostly with people from the PC. And mostly Tendo and Dizzy. Sometimes an agrument breaks out between 2 or more people and those who aren't in it just watch and laugh. Haven't had one of those for quiet a while...

James3 August 17th, 2004 12:37 AM

Most people chat on MSN its a bit more private that a thread and more can read it at once that a PM

aaaaaa August 17th, 2004 1:27 AM

I guess some of you have just lost touch with what it was like to be a newbie.
Back then, you had alot tougher skin. You stuck at it, even if you did get ignored.
It's the striving for popularity that once drove you on, but now you've got it and you're chronically bored.
Find a new goal within the forum is the only advice I can offer, I guess ^_^

Well you're right...in some ways.

It's such irony that at the end of spring I thought that more people would be more active because they don't have school...well most of them. And PC would be as active as ever. It does makes sense why I thought that though.

But boy was I wrong. XD

Don't feel so bad, I feel ignored but i try to not let it get to me. Sure I have friends but there are other people on here that are way more popular. Sometimes I can't take it, but since "I have to" I might as well.

ravenstorture August 17th, 2004 2:35 PM

Like a1337a said. Just make new goals and strive to reach them here, whether is be to get a certain award for the month thingy or to get a certain post count or whatnot. I dunno, just something.

oni flygon August 17th, 2004 3:27 PM

Fun in PC all depends. I go here and still remain here because most of my friends go here and I post my fanfictions here. To me, people just go away and stuff and you gain new friends. If you stay with just the same friends and you know that someday, they'll go away, you have to make as many friends as possible.

As for the ignoring part, some people can't reply to the post you say. I got ignored a bunch of times...(actually, a lot) and I'm sure this post will be ignored... :laugh:

People ignore me sometimes probably cause i do something idiotic but thats me and plus i try to talk with everyone but cant seem to keep up with discussion then i drown under pressure.

Eliana August 17th, 2004 3:37 PM

One time a week ago i felt very ingored so i almost left PC...but i cant let it put me down....I have to stay... but i hfeel hated anyways....

Merzbau August 17th, 2004 3:50 PM

Eliana? You think your hated?! Who could hate you?! Eliana, there's a ton of ppl that like u...(I wish I was that lucky XD)...and you have a fan club! No one would make me a fan club...

But if you think people hate you...there are WAY more that like you than hate you, ok? Especially me...

Scyther5 August 17th, 2004 3:58 PM

Really, you shouln't give about your popularity, just try and make good posts and do what you feel is right, and if your only doing it for popularity, you should reconsider. Popularity isnt really that big of an issue, I dont see why its made into such a big deal.

samu August 17th, 2004 4:07 PM

man.. you people take internet forums in such a serious way!

I'm not saying this to be a complete jerk-off, but I think maybe it's being taken just a little too hard.

Yes, it is a community.
Yes, we're all real people and we interact with each other.
Yes, this is an internet forum, that means people will share ideas and expand upon them. Sometimes people don't have anything to add or some topics and ideas are just complete as they are. It's no big deal~

I think unless someone starts sending some serious crap your way, (EXAMPLE: OMG, UR POSTS R SO STUPID, GTFO AND KILL URSELF PLZ KTHXBYE), It's not much of something to be worrying about (and even then, an attack over an internet forum isnt going to kill you as much as someone in a fight threatening your life will), or maybe I just take things too lightly.

I'm a "newbie", and I don't know much of what kind of hardcore unification of pokefreaks too place here, but through the eyes of someone new to the community, This place is still alright and has not lost its boredom factor with me, or its un-popularity factor or whatever. The forums still present themselves as a good wholesome message board with pretty friendly people! I think only once or twice have I seen any serious flaming go on, and thats pretty good. The administration staff here also is pretty strong and keeps things on lockdown if they're needed. :3

I really don't think things are as bad as some of you make them out to be.

Edit: of course, there's always friendships with people here that are maintained outside of the PC, but those shouldnt effect the forums technically. If you're having a problem with someone on the forums, then go fix it with them, and not the Pokemon Community.

John Denver August 17th, 2004 4:15 PM

Alyssa! Stop making these threads!! This is the 4th one you've made already!! Honestly, why do you keep shoving in peoples faces for attention. Become get popuarity and sometimes lose it. DEAL WITH IT! GEEZ!!

Now before all you NOOBS come at me saying that I'm being harsh or too mean and that Alyssa is going through a tough time (which she isn't). Keep in mind that you've only known alyssa a little while. I've known her since she joined. This is her 4th thread of her whining about her not getting enough attention for being a mod.

Stop...making...these threads alyssa, seriously. You know how low you have to sink to say that your not getting enough attention online?? GEEZ! IF your in a slump (which you have been with me ever since you became a whiny baby) then just deal with it. Happens to everyone.

What happened to you anyway? You never used to be like this. Then you were modded and you demanded respect from everybody like you deserved it. You know what you deserve alyssa? Being demodded, you deserved that a week after you became mod...but for SOME reason your still here...you know why that is? Cause people know who you are! SO STOP WHINING ABOUT IT!!

ok that was my rant...I'm closing this damm thread, and if Kairi or someone feels the need to reopen it (which they probably will) go right ahead, I won't stop your judgment cal.

Gardy August 17th, 2004 4:22 PM

whoa! um okay mayb if u feel ignored try tlkin to ppl insted of wanting them to tlk to u. but if this has been happening try meeting new ppl. and if u had mayb u just don't lik yourself and u need attention to make u feel better anyways u r a great person and if u don't think that start thinking that.

Well dakota calm down and this is the first thread ive seen from saukura about being ingnored. Also dakota its a problem evryone has and i think this thread makes everyone aware of it. But im not taking sides here.

^^NICK^^ v.3.0 August 17th, 2004 4:26 PM

Sorry if you feel that way, like you are being ignored. I don't want to ignore you, but I never see any of you posts, and if I did, I would try to reply, you are one of my old friends. Don't worry, I feel ignored at times, too, but you can't help it. It's natural.

Eliana August 17th, 2004 4:27 PM

this thread has been made before? o-0 wow i guess real life communities and online ones have things in common- they dont get along 24/7.....

Sparks_67 August 17th, 2004 4:29 PM

I have a bad feeling when dakota gets back this going to be a repeat of something that happended along time ago.

In case you didn't read my post...I said this was the 4th one she has made, and her other ones have been WAY more whiny then this one...

Flygon trainer August 17th, 2004 4:38 PM

Dakota, cool off, before this turns into a flame war like it nearly did when I got mad at DT.

Ryoutarou August 17th, 2004 4:41 PM

I'm with Dakota acutally, I wouldent have been so mean about it but Alyssa does do this A LOT

John Denver August 17th, 2004 4:42 PM

Seeing as I'm closing it, theres no need for it...

(reopen if you want to...meh)

EDIT: Ah screw it, I'll leave it open

This topic is not about whining and "I demand more respect" topic anymore. This is not how you treat other people. I only created this topic because PC was getting very boring and it's not as exciting as it were a long time ago.

Making more attention or respect is not the point of this topic.... the point of this is because there was less fun posting at PC. PC has changed too much, since theres a dare topic, gender changing, and etc, but don't let these things discourage you. Just have fun and don't worry about these stuff happening...

Now, I am pretty much over with it. yay! ^_^

latiosspud August 18th, 2004 8:42 AM

What a load of BS this thread contains, can someone close it now that everyone is happy?

Kairi August 18th, 2004 9:07 AM

Err, yeah. Will probably only produce more flames anyways.
