Thread Name: Shameless Self-Promotion - does it work?
Subject: RE: Shameless Self-Promotion - does it work?
Yeah, Chris, I know it hurts to be ignored. I see threads that people start, and then the only posts you see in the thread are the originator refreshing the thread, hoping for a response, and a few brief remarks from people who try to be polite.

It does seem like Mudcatters will talk about anything, but some topics just are very hard to respond to - and self-promotion is a topic that doesn't generate a response. If you start a thread and say, Come look at my Website," or "I have a new CD out" - some people will look, but they won't have much to say unless your thread poses questions that generate discussion. It's not that people aren't supportive. If you mention your Website or CD in the course of discussing something else, that often works better.
