Announcement Please Help & Reply To Unanswered Threads

[PaperChicken]

Yes, if I started a thread I would rather have a useful answer, then someone simply replying.

Yes. It is simply seems to be a matter of getting you off this list than any real way of caring to help someone.

Exactly. Helping someone is more important then just replying.

I think it’s important to leave the “Buy or Sell” threads unanswered unless you are actually interested in purchasing or selling what the member offers or asks for.

Replying if you're not actually interested in selling/buying something from the member just takes it off the Unanswered Threads list, and it gets buried under other threads. I think it's best to just leave it up because more people would see it in the unanswered threads section, therefore, giving the member a better chance at selling/buying whatever they need to.

I visit this list multiple times a day and answer when I can.
All active members should visit at least once a day and answer when appropriate.

I've been trying, but so many are outside my limited areas of knowledge.

Same. At least today was a short list, but new ones keep popping up. One could spend an entire day on unanswered.

I feel that way too.

Fortunately the goal (hope? expectation?) is that instead of a few people answering a lot of these, we'd have dozens (hundreds?) of our active members helping to answer where they can!

I help as much as I can.
