when is an advert not an advert?

5 Feb 2007

just a follow on to a thread which is currently running ( guys who fail to show).
i have responded to a few adverts and have not recieved any replys. now before everybody jumps on their high horse (sugarlumps available on request)I realise that they could well be inundated with responses, however I have checked their profiles and it would appear that they have not logged on since posting their advert.
so whats the point in posting in the first place.
lol

:lol: :lol: there I feel better for getting that of me chest!!! redface

when is an ad not an ad?
when watching BBC1 for instance, they show a clip promoting something on say Radio 2
thats not an ad, its a promo, only commercial stations show ads, and with the unique way the BBC is funded, they wouldnt entertain advertising

There could be many reasons or scenarios.
How about they join here and write an ad whilist drunk or depressed and then in the morning have second thoughts?

i think like i do best way is look at profiles in chatroom, you know they are there and online.
if screaching i look to see how long last on usally give a limit off one month. as people busy etc, anything over i dont send a mail as likely not going to get it soon...
and or in forum as list names at bottom because some dont use chatroom,
goodluck in finding fun though wink

Sometimes we answer an advert and get the reply, "sorry can't meet for several weeks".
So are the advertisers testing the water to see if they will get replies?
Did they look at our profile and think "oh NO"? If so it would have been better to say so outright.
Or did they get so many replies that we were in a queue?
Anyway, someone saying we can't meet you till next April is unlikely to be a good bet for a meet we would think.

It's part of the sign up process. It's compulsory for them to place an ad, otherwise they can't move forward with the process. That's why there are some many shitty ads out there saying 'shag me now' or something as stupid. If those who are checking the ads see anyone that say 'I'm not a full member etc..' they do get pulled for it.

There could be hundreds of reasons why they haven't logged on! A tad unfair to presume they are not interested.
I try and answer all emails (and a few dry answers to winks sometimes!) even if my answer is no it's still my thing to reply. smile

I'm sure a while back a load of peeps got a trial membership... hence the reason for them not login back on when asked to cough up for the membership fees!
