Responding to AmPics Posts

[midatlantic_cpl]

I've been posting pictures in pic threads for about 18 months now, and in the past, I've tried to post responses to everyone who has taken the time to post on my thread. However, time just doesn't always allow for it lately, and I often feel bad.

On AmPics, I see people who selectively respond to individual posts, people who rarely respond to anyone, and people who respond to every single post.

Here's my question: If a pic-poster doesn't respond to your post on his/her thread, do you continue to post? Are you offended? Do you continue to lurk, and just not post again, figuring why bother if there's no interaction with the OP? Do you just continue on your merry way and post when you see something you like?

This is really timely as we are brand new and are wondering what the protocol is. I haven't commented on everything I've looked at, but I am trying to do more encouraging comments without appearing to be a stalker. It takes a lot of courage to post an erotic picture on here. By the way I love your avatar picture. It's very hot.

It really doesn't bother me to not get a reply to a comment. I deal with enough judgemental BS in life. No need to bring any here. I appreciate the people who are brave enough to bare themselves to the rest of us. And some people bare themselves in more ways than one. We all have our own motivations and motives. I'm just here to enjoy the view and a bit of company from time to time. Just my two cents.

If a poster doesn't respond, I'll usually continue to post. Different people are here for different things. I respond to everyone because I like to. If I have something that I really want to say to someone and need a response to make myself feel better, I PM it. Hi Sam.

I have been perving on here for a few years. I do not post on each thread I view, Just the ones I find particular appealing or HOT! I do not expect a response each time as I know the people that post here have life outside of Lit and do not have time to respond to each and every post.

I think you're less likely to keep visiting. Tits are everywhere on here. Banter makes it fun.

I have to agree with this. I make come (and indeed cum) for the pics but one of the reasons I keep going back to a thread is because of the interaction between the person starting the thread and their audience. That doesn't mean that I expect a personal response to everything I write (although they are very welcome!) but just seeing the thread starter engaging with others in the thread is going to interest me more than a thread where the starter makes no effort at all to engage.

As for you, Sam, I think you are doing a fine job with your thread. Whether you respond to every post or not, no one could accuse you of ignoring your audience!

Some years back when I first landed on this site I use to peruse the pic threads often. But I almost never posted on there. I would however send a PM instead. Something that's either worthy of torture and the Spanish inquisition or a welcome change of pace depending on who you ask around here. I would, it must be said, almost always get a reply and they were always appreciative.

On the odd rare occasion I didn't get a reply I found it a little rude but not entirely unsurprising. Though I didn't do what some do around here and fire bomb her inbox demanding an answer for this gross injustice I'd just shrug my shoulders and get on with my day. Though I would quickly lose interest in her particular posts. Honestly I'd just be happy with an acknowledgment.

These days I don't bother at all and I almost never PM anyone. Just as there are some creepy, disturbed men, there are also some very unpleasant ladies about too. I prefer to watch from the sidelines.

I am fairly new to this part of Literotica and notice there is a core group of people who do the majority of the posting at least to me. Some of the topics get such a large number of posts that it would be difficult for the author to respond to each post. PM's are totally different I believe and if possible then you need to reply even if it's thanks but no thanks.

Long way to say I don't expect a response to a reply to a thread.

 

[Lovely2222]

I am old school here. I try to respond to every comment made in my thread. Someone has taken time out of their day to say something to me I try to respond.

Blanket thank yous are perfectly acceptable. You are acknowledging their comments and still being gracious.

I have not had the time to invest with online activities as I once did. So I rarely post pics in other threads. I felt guilty when I came across some that I missed and neglected to acknowledge their comments. I have also cut back on the pics that I post to my thread. I was getting behind on messages, comments, etc. Fewer pics mean fewer comments and fewer messages. So I have time to get to comments left on my thread and the few messages I get now.

Even with the anonymity the web offers, I believe that one should be courteous. Manners still matter. At least to me.

 

[Lovely2222]

To add to the above... I do not feel it is necessary for someone to respond to a comment I leave on their pic or thread. I understand we all have lives outside of Lit, and time constraints simply don't allow for you to respond. I take no offense.

I agreeL....when can we meet have some intimate commenting ?

We try to respond to everyone who posts in our thread, although it may take a while.

We do a very poor job of posting in other threads. While your pictures are hot, and we would do all kind of fun things with you, we do not do a good job expressing tht in threads. I wonder if that has something to do with being introverts?

 

[lighterman75]

I post on picture threads to let whoever it is posting know that their pics are appreciated. Nothing worse than putting yourself out there and being thoroughly rejected. But i'm a big enough boy to realise that these people have a real life out there somewhere, and if they responded to every single response, they wouldnt have time for that real life, or to take more lovely photos for me to gawk at. Saying that tho, it is always nice to be acknowledged (yeay! pretty lady saw me!)
As for my own thread? no idea. Havent posted for so long now, perhaps i should, ive changed shape a little since i last posted....

 

[hisdirtysecret]

Great questions! I was curious too. On my very neglected thread, I do try to respond to everyone. BUT, sometimes I don't know how to respond back to comments. I am not very creative and don't want to sound lame. Often I will PM a person if I don't respond on my thread. I am never offended if I make a comment on a thread and don't get a reply.

I haven't been posting to my AmPics thread lately, but when I was posting actively I had started responding mostly selectively to people I know I can banter with easily... I've done the responding to every comment thing, but I'm so unimaginative, and there's only so many times I can say something like "Thanks, darlin'" before I want to shoot myself.

 

[SweetSam42]

I find myself with very little time lately, and like the posters above me, hate sounding repetitive and (I'd add) insincere.

I'd rather respond to no one than to a selective few though. Just my preference and certainly no judgement on anyone else's tactics. It's hard to keep a thread going and keep up with everything.

I have to say that the fact I don't have the motivation or time to respond to the nice people who comment on my pics makes me feel like a bad host, and is what typically leads me to take an AmPics break...

Doesn't make you a bad host at all. You have a busy life....and what you just said, shows the amazing caring woman that you are

I prefer to keep my 1 on 1 banter private and will usually send a PM rather than commenting on a pic thread. I don't need to be publicly thanked if I do post.

I like to post to those which ESPECIALLY impress me or stand out in some way, shape or form! Like Sam42's pix...

 

[SultryKitten75]

If someone comments on my pic thread, I do try to post a simple thank you reply.

 

[suckonsimon]

A guy - at least an older guy like me - will have fewer visits on my thread I guess. But the comments posted are such that I want to reply and enjoy the exchange. For me, that's part of the pleasure of having an ampic thread.

 

[buctny8]

Sam,
I rarely post, but when I do, I don't expect a reply. I am a very long time lurker. I would not worry about offending anyone and simply enjoy yourself like we all should be doing.

Since I don't come here a lot and can't say I really follow any one thread, this is harder to answer. I think saying a mass thank you is okay, you are acknowledging everyone, I do see many that are singled out and treated better then others. Is that cause they are friends? Maybe. I also get that some are just easier to banter with cause you know they will handle it better. But I also see the patterns. He responds to her thread, so now she goes and responds to his. So you see allot of the same people in each others threads.
Do you ever wonder how much of it's real at that point? Are people responding to be nice and cause they really mean it, or are they responding cause you responded to them, so it seems like the right thing to do?

Personality is what keeps me going back.
