Hey Philly,
I don't think you go unnoticed, even though you may feel that way... Maybe sometimes people can get a bit intimidated, some people on spw may have fear of authority figures, you know
It might help if you put some of your hobbies and interests in your profile, so people can know more about you and what to ask if they need help with?
'Tis the holidays/vacations for many on this site and they may be bored, and in chatting with them you may be helping them through the day already... What kind of stuff would you like to help people with? Building boats? Maintaining exotic pets?
Overcoming sa/depression? Career advice? Plumbing? And in what way/s?
IQ is just a number, I'm sure you know a lot about really interesting things.... You might just need to find people also interested in the same/similar things...
I just jump into any thread that might seem interesting, or write visitor's messages or PMs if someone seems miserable in the 'How do you feel' threads... People do seem to notice & appreciate it... (Though of course I'm not even close to Lady Gaga.. lol Luckily!!!)
And who do you want to get noticed by? Might wanna consider it a bit.. What kind of people would you like to talk to and in what manner...
PS How are you?
