Personally I'm over these.

Sorry, you asked.

If you're going to do one, just DO IT. I hate it when people beg for attention and ask if we want to hear it.

ditto.

But I do want to hear where Barbie ended up... she didn't ask if anyone wanted to hear it.

KSU, this seems a little crabby for you. Are you doing okay?

I'm doing great actually.

I'm just a little over retro threads.

I'm no less of a nice person for being over them.

FYI: She DID ask for opinions.

She asked "Who wants to hear another retro thread?", and I was honest.

So it's not at all like I volunteered my opinion without asking.

I mean, no one told her to delete her thread just because she asked and one person offered an opinion that she didn't like.

And let's be real here. Retro threads were fun like the first summer! Folks have been on this kick for like 3 summers already.

Is it August yet?

It just seemed surprising that you felt like responding. When I'm over stuff, I just don't read it. Typing a response would have to involve a desperate level of boredom or some anger for me. Responding would be even less worth it than just not reading the thread.

I probably read 5-10% of the retro recruitment threads, and I enjoy the ones I read. When I'm not interested, I just don't read them; it doesn't bother me that they exists. But I'm not a moderator. You may feel obligated to read them.

I kind of agree with KSUViolet, these threads have been just dragging on lately. I'm over waiting weeks for "where they ended up"...

Well, my point in asking was if nobody was going to care enough to let me know, then I wasn't going to continue.

I've always felt that if sharing your recruitment story was something you wanted to do, you should just do it. No one is going to think "OMG, That PNM2009 is SO ANNOYING! How dare she share her recruitment story!" Sharing experiences is the whole point of this forum. The people who aren't going to want to hear it, aren't going to be coming to this board. The people who DO want to hear it, are going to be coming here, and when they click on your thread, of course that means they're interested in reading.

So when you ask the people, who have already come to this board in search of a recruitment story to read, and have CHOSEN to read your thread, that means they want to hear your story. No need to ask again once they've already opened it. Also, just because people aren't posting a million comments doesn't mean they're not reading!

Wow, maybe I am different, but I take these threads lightly. Some people who have posted threads in the past may have been attention seekers, but it does not mean everyone is.
