Reasonable?

Seriously. An 18 year old guy raises the courage and takes the time to write a long post asking for advice (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11021). He gets 2 replies.
Someone asks if we have looked at our crap and thought of our dicks and gets 5 replies.
Is that how it should be?

I agree with everything said here. I too have posted questions and got maybe 1 response. I began to think that I wasn't important to the group and being overlooked as dumb and unimportant. I am very grateful for this topic. I thought the purpose of this website was to help others dealing with ED. not comparing size and other non important things like lock out valves or pump function etc. we will see how many with respond to these postings.

Have been following for some time. Like i said before the biggest reason i do not and did not partake in the conversation is the way some members treat each other. If some of you remember that have been members for some time there was a young man who took his life with very little support. what was just said gives me hope !!! I believe it says LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF

I will agree. Many posts receive no answers or maybe one or two. I’ve posted before and have experienced this. Seems like most of “conversations “ are limited to a few main players.

Agreed. There seems to be a small clique of members here involved in one big circle jerk. I have spent a ton of time reading and have posted on occasion with little feedback. Makes me question the legitimacy of this site. Not to mention some of the postings that get a lot of play are absolutely ridiculous while people with serious problems and questions get ignored. Thank you Merrix for your most valuable posts and taking time to help others.

Merrix... I get what you mean, I've posted several questions and don't get one response so I stopped asking.
I'm sure someone will get there feathers ruffled from this, but Its the TRUTH!

yes perfect FishingTime.
There are (few) ridiculous members. They ask, ask, ask, always ask the same questions. they ask questions about some doctors.. when get their information they run away. But they come back only to ask again . Stronzi.
Later, when i read questions from new users, who ask their first information, for exemple about Dr. Eid , i notice that these "beggars" who they learned information about dr. EId, they do not answer.
I would kick them in the ass.

My heart goes out to young guys especially. I hope we can all take time when we read those post to at least say "Welcome to the forum. You are not alone. we hear you and hope we can help you find answers."

I agree merrix. The turd story had no business here and I did not give it enough credit to dignify it with a reply. I had hoped admin would have locked or deleted it. Cheers man.

I risk becoming even less popular with this post but being popular has never been my main quest. I am NOT trying to offend and I hope my point will be considered. Merrix made a hugely valuable point and instead of acknowledgments, he immediately started getting posts from others who feel slighted. I run another entire forum and do not have time to respond to every post and I just don't have anything valuable to contribute to many posts. However, an 18-year-old (or anyone that is prone to be vulnerable AND a first-time poster) deserve a response and a welcome.

I cannot help but notice that those that immediately posted "me too" did not reach out to this young man. If some of us have felt the sting of being ignored, we should be the FIRST to see it does not happen to someone else. Saying I ignored him because I have been ignored is beneath us. It certainly is not an adequate justification. I do not say this to offend. I say it to stir some thought that hopefully deserves "ok, valid point". I am not suggesting anyone beat themselves up over this, just make a resolve to do better and treat others the way we wish we were treated.

This time I did respond to his post but I am sure I have been guilty of missing some so this applies to me as well as others.
