Drive-By Posts

Am I the only one noticing lots and lots of new posts from new users where they never return to check back with their urgent questions?       It's like they are cut-n-pastes from other forums.      I'm beginning to think these are just padding to make the forum look more busy than it really is. 

I'm getting very reluctant to bother replying to any of them as I don't believe they are real people.

Anyone else noticing this pattern?

  • I used to create glossy magazines for a group a few years ago so I'm familiar with the process - but I found it a lot of work and too much to be juggling in my head to keep it readable.

  • Maybe just put your posts together in a kind of montage... I have written a book before but fell out with the publisher so it fell flat. It was a guide book on expeditions in Scotland. I also have written for a magazine over the last few years. Getting started is the hardest part. As  long as I have a real life experience with some good photos for inspiration and to use in the article it is pretty easy once you get going. I have serious ADHD and the words also jump around like Irlen syndrome too. One reason why this pplace annoys me - slow to load etc etc.
