Does it feel like you're the only person alive on this site sometimes? Cuz it sure does for me. No one talks to me except my good friend, I only have one here(we also live in different time zones so we don't see each other every day), this site is lonesome. :( Not only do people seem to ignore my topics but if I try to join in a conversation I also get ignored or turns out it was a dead topic. (if you see the games and mmo forum around 10:50AM on June 1st 2017 you can see how many posts I've tried to talk on. I think my name shows up for at least 4 on the last person to post.) Anyway sorry for the sadness rant. I guess I'm just not very popular on here. :(

On a lighter note, what do you think of the gif in my signature? It is visible to you right???

Sometimes, yeah. I keep refreshing the Forums hoping to see some new and interesting topics and sometimes there's nothing for what seems like hours.

It helps that I'm a lurky lurker by nature, I can entertain myself for hours just restocking from stores.

If you're a more social person, have you tried the Chatbox? I haven't touched it since the day I started and took it off my sidebar, because I personally can't stand it, but there are folks who are on the site specifically because of it. :) Pretty sure there's always someone in there!

Also, totally recommend shared interest/chat threads. I started posting in a big wig lovers thread back in the day and half the friends I have on the site now ended up coming from, or are friend-adjacent, to people I know from that thread.

Edit: I don't see a .gif?

In addition to the suggestions Lirikai made you should check out an RP run by . It is just starting up again (she does one every year and and I met playing that the very first year!), You don't have to be great individually at RPing as it is always a team effort and there are always teams looking for more people. It is a great way to meet people and stay busy for a couple months.

Holy crow, we totally did, that's right! xD

Added to that, every once in a while there are site events where users select a "team" and cheer/do activities/something to further the plot. You can make some FANTASTIC friends that way. This winter there was a Build a Team Snowperson and what seems like the other half of my friendslist came from that snowperson team. :)

So site activities can be a great way to meet other people (except we're going to be in a bit of a lull now because summer, but there's usually always something coming along)!

I actually rather the silence on my end; is that odd? ha!

As Georgie mentioned, the Wayward Squirrel adventures might be fun for you and a chance to make new friends, We're doing our FIFTH year (that blows me away) and signups are going on right now. New players are very welcome!

I mean the gif in my signature thing? It's not showing up? I see it perfectly. That's weird...

And thanks for the suggestions everyone, I guess I'm just used to neopets and the speed of those forums. Of course you can also be ignored there just because it's too fast lol.

Yeah I'm not seeing it. I want to say I might have disabled that view, because I haaate gifs in forums, but I can't find where in the settings that might be and can't be sure that's what happened.

Haha yeah this definitely isn't neopets. Forums move a loooot slower here.

BONJOUR! I see it ;) But I agree. I enjoy seeing messages from people.. gives me something to look forward too.

I also feel like that sometimes. I keep checking on my phone just to see if there's a notification (and most of the time there isn't). I have been looking for a forum group to join but either nothing catches my eye (i'm not very into fandoms or such if it's not indie stuff) or the groups are too full and too old, so it's like I won't get that much attention (doesn't mean I want to be in the spotlight I just feel like newest members get less attention and priority over stuff even though you might say otherwise - I've witnessed it happening in many different places and Subeta isn't that much different when it comes to closed communities when you're not a social butterfly) and I only talk with like two people in here and they're not very active. I feel like I should be more sociable but idk how to do that.

Not usually! I've recently joined a forum group and it's nice seeing their faces pop up and to have their encouragement focusing on my on-site goals. It's nice what a small change like that will do, so I'd encourage you all to look into forum groups if you can. Some allow you to be in multiple forum groups, especially if they're non-focus and you belong to a focused group (ie RPG, HA).

Before then, yes, even despite the fact I have a few friends on here from before I joined a group. D:

Yeah, for myself, it's rather lonely. Even while being in a guild. Everyone knows everyone else and it's hard to talk and make friends. Even if I try talking to someone flat out, it never works out. And after a while of trying, it just doesn't feel worth it to continue.

I've tried roleplaying but I can only do 1 on 1. Group roleplays move too fast for me and I end up feeling left out even in those.

But, on a side note, I do see the gif.

I don't feel lonely on Subeta. I only have a few close friends and I try to keep them by chatting as frequently as I can. It can get lonely, I agree. I've met my friends mostly by sharing common interest and chatting. It's always exciting to discover more and more things about a new person, especially if you have things in common. I see you like anime. The forum is a bit dead but I post a lot on there and the people are nice. The forums are kinda slow as well since we aren't in the golden days anymore. I don't think anyone has anything against you. Popularity doesn't mean feeling less lonely either. Remember that ;) !

I felt pretty alone and pretty bored a few days after I joined the site, but then I decided to open up the Shoutbox. Sometimes it's a little annoying, but it's also nice to just be able to chat with some people when you're on doing quests or something like that. And if you come on every day at a specific time, there are usually groups where, once you start talking to them, you'll become a 'regular' of that group, meaning people will look for you at that time or will friend you because you've been talking to them quite a bit. It's a good way to make new friends :D

oh I don't wanna be Popular, I just would like to have more people to talk to that share my interests is all...

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!

I feel the same but lately I just haven't been very social online or everyday life , I have a friend who I recently got to join subeta and usually we just chat with each other but I feel where you're coming from its hard to make friends especially when people already got their group of friends but its probably because I don't really try much.

your HA is cute! yeah, i do get like that sometimes. i'm not really a particularly social person to begin with though, and i like the quietude i get from being a solo player most of the time, but i have been making an effort to get out there lately but it sucks to be ignored. especially when i post on a super interesting thread with something i think is interesting and then no one responds and i'm just like 'oh ok i guess i'm not as funny as i thought' not that people are obligated to respond to me i guess but u no

i try not to bother with the sandbox too much tbh. most of the time it seems like a nice place but not only have i been ignored but i see people get completely ignored, like, constantly? or the other day someone was just sort of venting lightly in the shoutbox about something that happened to them looking for assurances and someone told them no one wanted to hear about it. like. yikes. again, not that they're obligated to listen, but later on another person was venting and was greeted with open arms by the same people. idk. i know they don't owe them or me anything but that kind of stuff just really doesn't sit well with me, so unless a staff member is posting about something interesting, i sort of shy away from it. a lot of people who post on it seem nice enough though.

those suggestions for finding other groups in the forums are good suggestions though! i think i might try that. i'm always open to chat if you're bored or lurking! i'm on the site while at work and also at home a little bit, so even though i'm not on all the time, i'll still respond when i get the chance!

I have one really great friend on here that I talk to often, and another one that I talk to off and on. I was not much for chit chat until the last big plot and we all joined teams. My team just kept chatting and then I just joined their chat group :D You could always check out the chit chat forum and find a group that seems like fun to you. I really doubt they would mind you joining in on the fun!

Levi!!!! I love him ❤
