Yes, I realize life gets in the way and they can't always respond immediately but we're talking weeks, sometimes months, before getting a reply. Lately, it seems like my mails are just getting ignored.
Since girls use their own email accounts - Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. - I suspect that maybe my mails are getting sent to their spam filters (those things aren't perfect) which means that it doesn't do me any good to email them to tell them to look in their spam folder for my mail, so we basically have a "chicken and egg" syndrome happening.
Is there some kind of "internal" SC mail system where someone can get a message through to these Charms for me?

I tried to post a message and found out the message has to have moderator approval. This means that there are three years of message sitting and waiting for approval. Nobody is paying attention. I don't know if it's a burnout factor with the lack of attention or maybe the money not what it use to be so they don't want put the time in. Some of the charms I know told me in the late 2000s they were making enough money to pay a mortgage and more, I don't think thats the case there days.

Sometimes it's not worth a Charm's time or effort to keep updating something. I personally have a Yahoo group that I don't update ever anymore because it never helped with sales. It just gave me a LOT of spam. And I do mean spam. Fake lotto winnings, penis enlargement, the works. S P A M. Sometime it's just not worth it to keep up with. However I NEVER think it's not worth it to answer our emails.

In the early days of the web there was a search engine before Google called Excite. Excite was a rival to Yahoo back then and Yahoo had a small number of groups Excite had a lot more adult clubs eventually yahoo bought the Excite clubs. The were a big in the old days when web pages needed progressional designers and host costs were out of the reach of most people. It was a place for people to have a community around a common interest. The problem there are thousands of abandon groups out there. I figure at some point Yahoo will remove the adult groups just like MSN did about 5 years ago.

They've also answered me fairly quickly when I've sent them mails in the past. That's part of my confusion - why is it taking them so long to reply now? I've also been a member of both their clubs multiple times (not recently as money has been tight) so it's not like they don't know me.

Hung8Tung wrote:I fully acknowledge the "balance SC with real life" factor - not complaining about that. I don't expect an instant reply. I just start to wonder what's going on when it's been three weeks or so since the email in question and in that time she's updated her site a couple times a week and even posted on here a couple of times. Obviously she still has internet, still has time to shoot and upload pics, and still has time to browse around here every now and then. At that point, there's obviously some other reason why mail is going unanswered.
