i'm bad with PMs.
i answer most straight away but i do get snowed under from time to time.
sometimes i accidentally delete unread messages.
sometimes i read with the intention of answering later but forget to.
it's endearing damnit!
Years ago, when I first joined, I really appreciated getting welcoming PM's from some of the members here. I can, to this day, tell you who they are. This was the profound effect it had on me. A positive one. It made me feel at home and eased my shyness about being here to some extent. THank you, Monstro and Geo 6x8. You guys rock!
it's so annoying! :redface:The fact there is no undelete if you fuck up is annoying.
it's so annoying! :redface:
sure, i could just stop fucking up...but...well...
it's me!
I PM'd someone yesterday about a post they'd made. In this post they'd quite openly spoken about something which despite having a deep desire for, I've never told anyone apart from my husband. I PM'd them to thank them for being so open about it because until the stronger of us speak out without worrying about the reaction of others, people like me will always feel the need to keep it to ourselves.
Now I'm not so much bothered about not getting a reply to random PMs I send, but it took a lot for me to open up about it and now I worry that they think badly of me because of what I've admitted to finally, and that the post of theirs which prompted it was some form of joke or something![]()
I dunno..
when some new people join the group, and become active, I will typically message and say something like.
"welcome to the group, nice to see you here, My name is Danny."
ect..
and 99% of the time people will right back, and be nice..
but sometimes people never write back..
that really grinds my gears.
I love your PMs, especially the ones starting with things like...
"You remember last night? Well, erm, I got carried away :redface: could you check for my car keys please? I think I might have left them there"
Of course if by "ect" you mean "Holy shit you're so fucking hot. God, what I would do to bend you over my 1991 Honda Civic. I am currently masturbating compulsively over your photos and plan on moving to your city soon in order to be nearer to you. Kisses (and pearl necklaces)" then it's not hard to see why they don't write back. You should content yourself with merely not getting a restraining order... :wink:
I almost sent you a PM! But posted instead. I've learn to dread the ones that the Subject title is "Hey Man"I have about 30 pending PMs that I just haven't bothered with. After reading DJG's post, I feel kinda guilty now.
I'm a digital packrat and I can't delete anything. I guess I should message some of them back. I still don't plan on responding to the "you're so hot" ones. They make me feel awkward.
:tapedshut:I am not much of a PMer.
:biggrin1:Also, if someone has you on ignore, they will never receive your PM.

It was just such a PM that got me started at LPSG (God bless you, FineDessert) and I haven't run out of things to say, yet.
