Have you ever not noticed a member here?

Post Reply New Topic

There have been members here I would see and I would think I have never seen them before because I do not recognize them. But they have been here for a while like two years and I never even taken notice in them and then all of a sudden I finally notice them. I remember for a while I thought sallamdrina(sp) was a new member here and all of a sudden she was a mod but I was shocked to see she had only been here for two years when I looked at her join date. Now I realize I may remember her in the past, I think she had some avatar of some painting and it was a woman in it that looked like from the 1500's.

There was another member here just recently I got into a disagreement with and I looked through her posts and saw she has replied to one of my posts in the past and my my my have I forgotten about her until she caught my attention. But she had only been here I think since April.

Cute kid.

I don't seem to notice who posts what unless they do something to stand out in my mind. I read topics that catch my eye, which means I miss a lot I'm sure. I do have certain people who I enjoy hearing what they have to say that will lead me to going under their usernames and take a look at their recent posts. Most of the time I would describe myself as being rather selfish in that I like to goof around a good bit and I tend to drag the conversation towards what I want to discuss. Other people seem to more interested in connecting with people and making friends. I seem to find that hard to do in pixels.

The thing that surprises me most isn't that I don't notice certain people, but just how people seem to start one week and then the next time I look they have a few thousand posts seemingly overnight.

It happens to me often. When I see an unfamiliar member name I tend to take a glance at their posts (moderator curiosity ) but sometimes get caught out to find they've been a member for several years and have a post count in the thousands!

The most recent was someone called Heckler?? and my first thought was "that's a curious sounding name" but on checking he/she had been around for ages, I'd just never noticed them.

Another thing that happens is that members disappear for a year or two and come back again.

I also get caught out if someone changes their avatar after having the same one for a long time too - like Verdani the other day.

I get this when people change their avatars. For example, Verdandi changed her avatar and I kept thinking it was a new member, but when I looked at her name, I realized who it was.

I love your avatar.

I've noticed that I don't notice people after they switch to a different avatar after using the same one for a while. I also have a hard time noticing people who don't have avatars.

I wonder if I go unnoticed when I change my avatars.

Cockney you only have kinks avatars. I think you are fine.

Yeah, I still notice you. Same goes for League_Girl, I think it's because you guys don't usually change your avatars very drastically. (Like me changing my last avatar of a cactus to my current one)

Quite a few times, yes. Couldn't give specifics though.

I find it strange that people have a problem with recognition after members change avatars...I do not have this issue
In any case, I notice almost everyone. When I see new members in the introduction threads and they post elsewhere, I usually recognise them quite easily. However, I did used to get confused with names, and occasionally avatars.

Yeah, some people suddenly seem to pop into existence.

Well sure. There are so many people here, of course you're going to over look some.

I tend to notice posters more when they reply to my post, I reply to there's or we quote each other
