How do you get rid of Thread Cooties

I did a quick look at the threads you have started and - and I don't mean any offense whatsoever - it looks like a lot of them are "Facebook" kind of content.  I, for one, am Facebooked out.  I don't care what my friends had for breakfast or that they're currently at the xxxxx Mall shopping for a gift for someone I've never heard of.  I used to use Facebook as a way to stay in touch with what my friends were up to but after awhile realized what I wanted to know is if something really great or really bad is happening in their lives.  Instead I got a window into the boring nitty-gritty details of their lives that I simply didn't need to know.  So I stopped using FB altogether.

 

Posts like "Here's a pic of my cute cat" or "cuteness overload" are the kinds of posts people go to FB to see.  Here on BYC, a question - a real question indicating a desire to learn something new - is likely to garner more responses, especially if it is not one that is asked by someone 10x per day. 

Dont fret!!! It's okay... you know we like you! We just might not have an answer for your question though... we might know HOW to help your birds..and dont want to give you bad advice that could harm your birds..
Honestly.. most of the really good members that know a lot about birds and were VERY helpful are not on here anymore... sorry. They've moved on to other forums and sites..
So dont take it personally..

Egad - it looks like I did offend you after all - I'm so sorry.  I really was just trying to help you know what kind of posts get the most responses.  We have ALL been where you are at one point or another.  I've had threads go completely unanswered.  Don't take it personally - it either means no one knows the answer or its at a time of day when the board is moving so fast that it gets down to the second page too quickly.

 

Myself, I try to look through the unanswered threads at least once each day and if I know the answer to a question I will answer, but there are many I simply do not know the answer to, and I feel it is not helpful to guess or give bad information so I leave those, hoping someone who DOES know the answer will chime in.

 

Exactly how I feel! My freinds post unnessicary stuff like "Going to ____ with ____ today, I lover her!" and post unnessicary picutres of them doing cheesy poses and talk about their relationships. Drives me crazy! Like you said, I like to use facebook to talk to freinds, not post how my life is going.
