 Message  I would guess I get on average 6 comments for every 20/30 views probably less obviously it differs and some are more popular than others. Don’t let it get you down the idea is that we critique as well as compliment and sometimes people just can’t find the words and what’s the point just blowing air up someones ass, also you can put it down to not everyone is going to like your stuff and what’s the point just tearing something apart unless ofcourse that’s what you ask for.
This is a great site once you find your way around which doesn’t take long at all.
Also just a little thing check what your posting and where there are more appropriate forums for this where you’d get more replys.

 Message  Inspirit999 gave great advice. This place is a give and take. Spend time reading and critiquing the work of others. There are a lot of great writers here...who thrive on encouragement...and want to learn how others view their work...even if you say you don’t like something about it. Welcome to Elite!

 Message  well I am not sure what the active means... but if you are talking about the rate of views and comments, do not expect a comment for every view. When I read this and checked your stats out, you had been here 1 day and had given out 1 comment and recieve 2 views, that is actually a better return then most people get. get out and make comments not just "great write comments" or something less than five lines that doesn’t offer much to the writer. Get into these writes as much as you can. put yourself everywhere you can. find out the circles of groups, you’ll find there are a lot. send out thanks to those who comment, unless you are abused verbally then you can do something about that. go to the shoutbox and say a hello to people...go other places to give your name exposure. everywhere you respond, just chat with someone, and/or make a comment has your name attached to it, that leads often to someone else clicking out your name and checking your writes out, it not a science but it does work. trust me this is the best advice you will get from this site from someone who does talk and fellowship with many.
