Why is nobody talking to me?

Juuuust for the record - is it possibly my name that is a problem?

It is really a bit confusing to me that i was advised to hop on this page to chat with other people but after three days of haunting this place i think i have had maybe two responses from one person... mmm, strange, but if anyone has an idea please let me know.

Change your name to Safohsix.

Not that I think that'll help matters but if you do it then I want to see what else we can get you to do.

Serious advice, you get what you put in. Talk to people and they will talk back. Get involved in the various discussions and you'll be off and running in no time.

Why? Is there a problem with the current name?

You're missing the point. Toytown is an established community and very welcoming of newcomers. However, just saying "I'm here, now talk to me", isn't gonna work in most cases, although it seems to be doing just that here. Just get involved in the discussions and if possible go to one of the meetups in your neck of the woods and get to know a few people. You talk, people will talk back.

Mmmm, i realise that and i thank you for your advise. But when i do reply and try and get involved and hardly anyone responds, then i think its ok to find out why.

Prior to this thread you'd posted five times and today only. What are you expecting? Give it a chance. As I said, get involved and contribute and the rewards will be forthcoming.

One other recommendation - never end your username with "6" - they're known f**kwits in this community - few people read their comments.

Ah ha... you saw that then! Well then i thank everyone here for my first little chat... gotta run but it was nice!

And you'll confuse people if you have to change your name to SouthAfrica07 come January.

Well at least you will know who i am in Jan 07 then STB!

Mkay, maybe you should not expect too much. Best would be to go to TT events in Hamburg (if there are such things). If you go there, people will get to know you and will speak to you more often on the forum. But at the moment you are one of 2000 users (don't know the number), so why do you expect to be spoken to all the time?

Btw, welcome to Germany. I am from Cape Town.

?what rewards?

you don't swipe your bonus points card everytime you log in?

Thnak you to everyone for the comments!...its not that i expect t be spoken to all the time...no one was speaking to me at all so i just thought i would ask...i was new to this but now after all the kind advice,i get the point...wait and someone will reply!! :-)

Anyways its nice to hear from another South African..I'm from Johannesburg by the way..i really hope that more English people from HH put in an appearance here,they seem to be really scarce in this part of the world!...But i am in Bavaria next week so maybe i can pop in at one of the get togethers there?!

that 's the spirit

"SouthAfrica06"

I am glad that you are new to germany. 5 years back it was worse.

You would have been back home long back if you were here.

Some of us live in and around Hamburg... I must say, up to this point I hadn't seen any of your posts..

Make sure that you inform us of when and where and we'll all turn up and talk to you at once. Welcome to the Madhouse.

Adi: I have just joined so i will posting more!

And i am going to be with my hubby in Miesbach from next week Monday until the Sunday and we will definitely be going to Munich a few times!Making holiday and all that jazz!

@SA06
Prob. because your profile isn't filled in with Gender (Females get more attention) and a good picture of yourself.. Add those to things and you'll prob. get my people
wanting to talk. Also looking over your others posts, you're married. This can be a big turn-off for some of the people.

Not being mean, or pervy, just telling it like it is...

SA06- ignore DK.
you don't have to have a gender for people to talk to you. and not all people on TT are skeezy people only looking for good looking females.

ugh!

:-) Thank you Mere!!! I will post a pic soon and then DK can judge for himself...anyways yes i am married-for 7 weeks now-but that doesn't make me any less fun!..i didn't lose my sense of humour or anything else with the big 'I DO'!! :-))

aww.. recently married! that must be fun! Congrats and i hope you're having a good time

Thank you! :-)
I'm loving it! :-))

You work for McDonald's?

the conversation online or the marriage
