It maybe simply that you have joined and forgot the link address i know i certainly have done this on a number of occasions. We would also like to know what makes you stay or not stay on the site I would appreciate your honesty. ____________ Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 1:11 pm Animad Packleader Joined: Nov 06, 2006 Posts: 116 Age: 36 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: Dog,cats ,rat Karma: 0 Thank Location: Lincolnshire Medals: None 409 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Since joining i must admit that it seems to be hard work to get topics flowing.There seems to be plenty of people out there reading what people have put but aren't bothering to reply.I have been in the chat rooms as well and end up talking to myself I have noticed that when i log on there are plenty of guests online but hardly any members,is that because they aren't bothering to log on?why is that? This site has plenty of choice as to what your pet chat requirements are but there does seem to be a lack of response.It is a little dis-heartening when you post and don't receive a reply.Most of the time i have and it's nice to see that there are people out there listening to what your problem is. It would be nice to get some really good topics going on that lots of people will join in with.It would be nice to chat with other members after all isn't that what this site is all about-PETCHAT.

A lot of people suffer from tunnel vision when it comes to pets, and have an interest in one or maybe two species which dilutes it a bit - I have come on day after day and being dog obsessive, find nothing of interest has come up (possible very few posts at all being dog related) so move on. Even within one species, there are many "factions" so with multiple species it could end up very fragmented. I know it's a bit of a self-perpetuating problem - more posts will generate more interest and more posts - but something needs to kick this off in the first place. (Also, I can't get broadband where I am - plus I am now working full time - so the days of lurking for hours and creating topics are gone for me. It's expensive slow dial up these days ) ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 9:36 pm annestaff TopDog Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2082 Age: No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: SBT Karma: 5 Thank Medals: 1 (View more...) 718 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I'm here Sam, like a bad penny I always come back It does make you wonder why do people bother to register and then float off never to return.

I think you are right about the fact there are numerous topics, DOGSEY is the same for me, there are far too many topics and sub threads, I can't be bothered to trawl through them do I just skip to the onces I am interested in and then only once per day. Dog pages on the other hand is fantastic again fast moving new topics and threads being created all the time, but the thing that all the topics and threads have in common is pet rescue.

I haven't been a member for long but have both enjoyed it and found the advice supportive and invaluable. I love all the different categories and of course pet owners would probably only pick sites relevant to their pets. I'll be honest and say I have never gone on the reptile site as I have no real interest for them. Perhaps it is due to the summer! In winter would more people get online? As for improvements - I'm not sure how to make it better.
