How often do you post what you think is a pertinent or funny contribution to a thread, only for it to be passed over without comment, while a contribution making EXACTLY the same point five posts later is quoted and responded to multiple times as if it was the distilled essence of Nietzsche’s Greatest Thoughts?

All the time. I think it actually happens to everyone but we don't notice because we are too focused on ourselves.
It should be socially acceptable to just go quote and comment on your own remarks, bring them back to the forefront for those who missed them  |

I have had conversations about this kind of thing with other users. The consensus is that often lurkers will read a thread more fully than some (not all) of the contributors.
I’ve seen myself talk to users who refer to a long lost (apparently ignored at the time) contribution I’ve made. |

Would seem a bit pouty after 16 quotes of the later post saying exactly what I’d said I guess..tempting mind.. |

I did that on a thread last week, where the essence of one post was almost word for word with mine. I quoted both posts with a flirt emoji. I meant it as a compliment but I don’t think it went down awful well. |

Quite a lot.
Now ... there are some fun threads whose subject matter means they're often fast moving and it's therefore completely understandable that people are overlooked. Who cares. However, when the instigator of a thread specifically invites thoughtful opinion but then appears to ignore replies from anyone they don't fancy and/or they're not already pally with, it can feel a tad rude. Specifically, like you say, when you make a point or provide an answer (apparently in invisible virtual ink) which is later repeated almost word for word by someone else and seized upon as a thing of wonder with a big dollop of flattery thrown in too.
*But* ... such is the dynamic of any forum - it's not too surprising on a site like this that some people will always wait until the object(s) of their desire show up before responding. I only ever post when I don't care if I'm acknowledged or not. Which does often mean I think about posting a hell of a lot more than I actually do ...  |

It’s very much my attitude too. What I do know from the PMs I get, is that a great deal of my content is absorbed by those who do not necessarily reply. |

I get this a lot. I rarely bother to contribute much anymore for this reason. It could be I offer nothing constructive but I also notice that a lot in the group will either look at my profile or message me privately but not acknowledge in the post.  |

Fair enough. Often I track threads because they’re interesting. I’m not hanging around waiting to be virtually noticed. |

I think that is subject matter dependent. The forum can be a daunting place to air views that go against the fab norm do people message direct. |

The best one is when you make a brilliantly witty observation, that gets totally ignored. Then some plum writes ‘I’ll get the pop corn!’ or some other cliche and everyone hails them some kind of comedic genius ! |

It happens all the time , and it truly depends on the popularity of the poster . It doesn’t mean you aren’t popular , it just means the person who says what you said earlier is ‘more’ popular amongst the regular posters .
Ask yourself this - does it matter ? Do you really care ? If it does matter and you do care , step away for a few days and you’ll realise how much it really doesn’t !

When I first starting using the forums the popcorn crowd were on everything. On occasion, one particular person used to make me laugh with his description of how he was eating his popcorn and watching from the corner.
It did get ridiculous though. |

Nope, it's happened to me. I just presume there's a bit of a clique, so it might take a little while for people to get use to a new profile contributing to the thread... I'm hard faced enough, not to give a shite tbh  |

I guess if I was bothered I'd notice that it happens a lot. But unless I'm telling someone they're wrong about something I often won't bother returning to a thread to see if anyone's responded to my comment. |

As I say, the invisible couple, but please don't waste your time looking out for us, we rarely have anything interesting to say, hence why we commented on you post.  |

I wish there was a 'Like' button for posts because I think people would be pleasantly surprised that they aren't ignored after all. I would thumbs up many posts but I'd get a ban for spamming.
I usually reply to the comment and not the poster so I don't realise if I'm always agreeing -or disagreeing- with the same person. |

"How often do you post what you think is a pertinent or funny contribution to a thread, only for it to be passed over without comment, while a contribution making EXACTLY the same point five posts later is quoted and responded to multiple times as if it was the distilled essence of Nietzsche’s Greatest Thoughts?

That's obvious, you aren't in the clique obviously "
God no! I can’t really do cliques. I do think being (or not being) young and hot has an effect too. |

Problem with forums are it's very cliquey. You see same people time over and they don't, reply unless in their circle. Very off putting to those finding their feet here. |

It’s a funny old place . I mean I sometimes come up with something that I think is hilarious and start a thread only for it too sink without a trace where as some can post basically anything and it’s really popular ......x |

A little, but it is more about how popular you try and make yourself, and it is very clique oriented, but I think changing a little. I get a few replies to posts from people who Darent post in the forum so pm instead because they're worried about getting ridiculed. |

Do you genuinely find that off putting? More so than the brutal dissecting of opinions? |

Goes through stages of feeling cliquey on here. I’d say it’s nowhere near as cliquey as it was a year or so ago.
I generally notice I get ignored more if I’ve been off fabs for a while and / or on the back of a big forum social, people then seem to interact more with those they’ve met up with. |

Happens to me on a daily basis. I've had people say almost the exact thing I've said after me and they get quoted and talked to. Most TVs on this forum just get blanked over all the time, I know quite a few have noticed this so I'm not alone in my thinking
That’s odd because I think you generally have very good contributions to make..
Must be one of the few "
Oh there are probably more than a few  |

I thought my very recent comment on the guy wanking while driving was good...
i said he was wanking on the wrong side of the road..
mainly as his username states he's foreign
glossed over and ignored...sigh |

Happens to me all the time. Sometimes I repost.
Sometimes I repost a summary.
Sometimes I post *keyword* blah blah |
