@Benjamin_Stormblessed ok first off, If you want someone to see your reply, it is advised to 1) quote their previous quote or a part of it if it is wrong 2) mention them using their name. Both of these will send notifications to the said someone. If you don't do either of this, then there is a pretty good chance that they won't see. Secondly, chill with the Dark Alley condemnation. It's just a fun joke to give to new members of the shard. But new members are now making it seem like a serious thing when it's just for fun. Also, @Ookla the Capricious, it is customary to hand out an upvote with the cookie. Right now, there are several posts in this topic, yet only 2 upvotes, and they are from me. This forum is about welcoming newcomers, not forcing cookie propaganda down their throats
Edit: also @Melovespie, if you want to get notifications when people post in your topic, then you should change it in the settings. It is much better than manually following it
