It's a message board, people are not obligated to answer others. There were many threads that got no anwers. It's a fact that people who know each other often answer by jokes etc they wouldn't use towards "newcommers" they don't know.
I created many even long ass threads, sometimes it took me 3-4 hours to write something and I got no answers. It meant to me that my problem was not interesting or people were too lazy to read that. Anyway I understand it and I think it's normal on message board. You reply to what interests you, if something doesn't interest you or you don't have any intention in answering then you don't do it. Nobody has to reply you.
