Just curious...?

Just curious. I've noticed that it seems like you have to be in the "clic" in order to get a response out of people when you post any sort of feedback. Or maybe you need to have a success that is deemed "worthy" of anyone's attention...?

I've posted twice with an IP and a recent success for a signed playbill from Grease and although over 30 ppl viewed each post not one person commented on it.

Not that i care too much about that, but it would be nice to get an attaboy once in a while. No problem though, as i am destined to get big star successes because i know a technique in order to get in contact with them via venue i will not post any future successes. Why, it's just a waste of a few minutes out of my time.

Not so sure about being in any cliques, because I'm not in one, and I've had my fair share of successes their get lots of responses or get nothing. But as far as comments go, that's just the way things are. I don't comment on someone unless they got a success from someone I know of and care about.

Hey that'll work for me. At least you responded to something. {thumb2}

Big celebs (example - Johnny Depp) and/or celebs attached to current popular films (example - Harry Potter, High School Musical) always get more replies, as a lot of members are younger (14 and below) and are naturally more attracted to those successes than lesser known celebs.

However, I have noticed that when certain people post a success, their friends will almost always comment on it. Not really sure I'd class it as a "clique" though.

No offence, but 30 views is nothing on a forum this size. Also you have to remember, threads can be viewed by non-members, therefore bumping the post count, and lots of members never post, they just read instead, which again bumps the numbers up.

Using your example of your Grease playbill though, when you look at the average member, and then compare it to other successes in that forum (Johnny Depp, Will Ferrell) then it will always be overlooked. Its not a reflection on your success, but merely a reflection on how most members flock towards the A-List feedbacks.

Personally Ive not heard of the people who have signed your playbill, maybe thats why others have not commented?

The purpose of the forum is to help fellow collectors, and share feedbacks to notify other collectors who may be fans.

For you to say "Im not posting because no one says 'well done' to me" just comes across as a little childish. No offence intended, but its a ridiculous comment in my opinion.

Don't be discouraged. I've posted IP successes that I think are pretty big, but as a UK collector a lot of members here haven't heard of the people I've met, so I don't get a lot of interest. I don't mind though. I'm happy to share my successes even if people don't post.

I've had so many feedback topics go by without comment - you have to realize most people will only comment if they actually have a slight interest in the celeb you've gotten a success from. I'm really not gonna click on a topic where I haven't even heard of the celeb(s), for example, the cast of Grease (I only know the original film cast/am interested in them). Don't be discouraged, some topics are just hit and miss. And...to be quite honest, this forum's not very clique-y really!

[Melindabear2002]

I wouldn't really worry about it. I've posted in person successes and some through the mail and maybe get one comment or none sometimes. I comment but not that much, mainly because if I get on I like to chat or help people with their questions. And as someone else said it's all about what people on here really like. I'm had some that I think are pretty big successes or at least they were for me, but not many people really agreed. Certain celebs are bound to get more comments when feedback is gotten.

Like some others have said.. I usually don't respond to a thread unless I actually know who the person the autograph is from, and am interested in them. I usually don't respond to preprint successes that much, or if a thread has a million responses, how many "great success'" can one person get? But don't be discouraged. As a trainee Mod. I do help people out whenever I can, but people on the board are pretty good at responding quickly, so unless I have something worthy of responding I usually keep my mouth shut. Like the old saying goes "It is better to keep your mouth shut than to open it and say something foolish." Yes, I do go out of my way to respond to people that respond to my threads on a regular basis, it's just common courtesy. But please don't take offense to it. If you ever have any questions feel free to PM me, I'm always available and happy collecting!

I don't know how I can say anything at this point and not repeat what everyone has already said here.

I'm not in any clic. And just as others have said, I only look at the celebs that interest me, the ones that I admire. And I don't always reply but like to read the info. I don't see my not replying as any disrespect. As has been said this forum is meant for informing and sharing. Some choose to reply while others may never do so.

It is not meant as a slight in any way so please don't take it as such. And as has been already said there tends to be more of a gravitation towards A-list stars, or celebs that are known by younger audiences. I have a feeling a lot of people have never heard of Patti Page or Joan Fontaine etc., but there are those of us that have and admire them a great deal. And realizing that a great many haven't heard of them I am more likely not to get very many replies, and much less views than say a Johnny Depp authentic.

Do please continue to share your successes. {thumb2}

I don't think I'm really in a "clique" here, but I agree with howaboutthosemets in saying, if I like the celebrity or I think I have advice to add, I will, but I'm not going to say, "AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S THE ADDRESS!!!!!!!???????!!" if it's someone I'm not interested in.

Do keep posting, though!
