I really don't want to start any shizz, but my feelings are starting to get a little hurt (and ticked off).

I always put my LOs in the LO lovins thread!! And I follow the rules which is to leave love on the LO/LOs above you. I always try to do the entire page if I can, but I at least leave love on the LOs above mine. Now, for the past few times that I have posted in the lovins thread, the person that posts below me has NOT left love on my LO.

I am NOT here to slam anyone, but there is a reason that I put my LOs in the lovin thread and that is to get the lovin! LOL But, I don't think it's fair that peeps are posting their LOs there and not following the rules and leaving love on the ones above them.

Ok, that is all.
 
I dont play the game here Paula but thats the reason I stopped playing the praise game at DST. {{hugs}}
 
Awww, I'm sorry that's happening!!! I've noticed it happening on one or two of mine as well. I too try to leave lovin's on the entire page, and a couple times, I've gone through the ENTIRE thread and left love on EVERY page. That took forever!

BUT there has been once or twice where I've quickly posted my layout in the thread and had to come back to leave lovins on the others because I didn't have time at that exact moment. Maybe the lower person does that too, and then it slips their mind that they need to go back? I know for me, I've forgotten, and then 2 or 3 days later remembered and then went back...

Anyways, I'm sure its NOT because the person doesn't love your layouts. They really are beautiful! I know I'm always blown away by your layering and how you use blossoms & leaves & branches!!!
 
I feel for ya lady. Or if you get comments, they aren't meaningful and feel forced. I very rarely play anymore.

Aww thanks so much for saying that! That makes me feel tons better!! Mwah!
 
I doubt that people are skipping you intentionally. :)

However, I think that realistically, if you link more than one lo in a post, you should only expect love on one of them. I know I do when I put two in mine. :)
 
Paula, you are the queen of heritage pages. Regardless of how many comments you get. For shizzle my nizzle. You rock. :)
 
i think it would be kinda hard to skip some one unintentionally. i'm not saying this to feed into your sadness or anything paula. :wub: i'm just saying...if you play, play nice or i'll bring down the wrath of chimp with gun.
 
I have never done the sweet lovins yet .. but maybe sometimes the person below is posting around the same time as you and ends up doing someone before you. :) You do some awesome layering in your LO's :)
 
i also wanted to say that this *is* supposed to be the lovin's thread, not the crazy people only comment on who they love all the time thread. kwim? let's all play nice.

Well to be fair to Paula, she did post four links but the person below her didn't post on any of them.

I don't play the praise game here but this is my thought on praise games in general: If you have time to post your layout and link to it, you have time to leave a comment for the person above you. It's one comment. If you don't have time to do that, don't post.

which sucks. :thumbdown: I know I left her love on at least one.. so far I think I've gotten the whole thread.
 
I'm really thinking, as sweet as everyone is here (no pun intended, lol) that that would never be intentional. If you're posting at the SAME time, it happens sometimes, that they don't see your post and they are already working their way back through the thread. I know that your pages are always so pretty I can't imagine anyone doing that. I really don't believe here it's intentional. Some other sites, maybe, but not here (ok so I'm biased but BEFORE I was a babe I got more love and praise here than anywhere else too, so it's not that)
 
Hugs Paula! I rarely play but I do make sure I comment on at least 5 layouts on the same page as me when I do and NEVER skip anyone.
 
Ok, here are my 2 cents...lol.

First, I LOVE playing the lovins game. You all know how much I love me some lovin. ♥ I always, always do my very best to leave love for the entire page I post on and if I'm the 1st or 2nd on that page, I go to the previous page. Usually. Sometimes real life gets in the way, but I just know how I feel when I get nice comments so I like to pass it on, so to speak.

Second, I think there's more to the lovins game than just getting love. I mean sure, it makes me really happy to hear nice things about a LO I've done. Playing also gets some extra exposure for my designers, which is a fab thing, too. But equally for me, I get TONS of inspiration from the game. I see LOs I'd never have seen without playing and lots of those end up in my faves and give me ideas when I'm out of my own. For me, the game is a three-in-one. :thumbup:

Finally, I want to agree and disagree with Lizzy (is that even possible? LOL!)

Here's where I disagree: the other night, I popped a LO into the game then was called away to some huge emergency (like not sharing or someone forgot to flush or something equally dire) by one of the kids. It was time to start dinner anyway, so I closed out of SSD and went on with my nightly business and TOTALLY FORGOT to leave loves for the peeps above me. :( I didn't remember until I had gone to bed and couldn't sleep (yes, I think about scrapping when I can't sleep. What??? LIKE YOU DON'T :glare:). DH would have sent me to the loony bin if I'd gotten out of bed to leave praise (which now sounds not half bad), so I waited til morning, got up, came here, and left tons-o-love. Hopefully those peeps understood, and I'm sure they did. So that was unintentional.

Here's where I agree: the same person has skipped me AT LEAST 3 times, maybe 4. I'm too lazy to go back and look. The first time I figured "no biggie, she must have missed me." The second time...well, let's say I began wondering. The third time it finally occured to me that I must have done something to make her mad and she just doesn't want to leave me loves. (Yes, she was leaving for the people before me). Ok, whatever. That's fine and good. So now, when she posts before me, what do I do??? I STILL leave her lots of praise. And sometimes I just go and leave her random praise. I figure she'll either get over whatever I did to make her mad, or she'll PM me and we can discuss it and hopefully move on. Because I certainly don't like feeling like someone's upset with me and not know why.

Anyway, my whole point is this: 99.9% of the time the game works wonderfully. That 0.1% of the time that it doesn't...well, it happens to all of us. We just have to remember that people do have real lives and sometimes things happen and they don't mean for it to. I think we all :wub: each other and we just have to remember to show it.

i agree with you jennifer. i just meant it would be tough for the same person/people to continually be skipped. kwim? yes a couple times...sure an accident. all the time...that's hard to believe. in any case i appreciate what you said and it breaks my heart that anyone would ever feel left out of a game that is designed to make us feel the opposite. hugs jennifer!!! :wub:

This is true. I like to comment on all the links in the above post, but not everyone will post on EVERY link. They might just pick one. Although, like someone mentioned, Paula posted 4 links, and the next poster didn't comment on any of them...

I am so sorry this is happening and I really hope it is not me! WHEN I play I usually leave love for the whole thread in front of me. Yes, I have even gone though like 4 pages and left love. But I have forgotten too to go back and leave love. It happens to me all the time. I figure it is because I suck on a totally different level and no one can find something nice to say. But it doesn't bother me. It is MY LO and I am the one who has to live with it.

I hope things pick up for you. I wll always try and remember to make sure I leave some special love for your LOs!
 
I just think before everyone jumps all over this person, maybe there was something that happened....like what Jen said in her post. I've totally put LO's in the praise game before...and my internet connection goes out, or someone comes to the door, or a kid needs you, or you go grab a coke and get distracted. It happens. She is normally a really good commenter, so perhaps we shouldn't jump the gun here.

Does it suck that she got skipped. Yes.

Like Jen said in her post...there are intentional skippers, like what happened with Jen. And the person I know that has been skipping me. That sucks too. And then there are unintentional skippers and I also agree with Jen that 99% of the time the game works great.
 
I leave jennifer blank love all the time.. ^_^

anyway.... here's my piece, take it or leave it........

I don't care if people skip me. I use to sometimes, but really................ *shrugs* I don't now. There are other people who love on me.. and honestly, I make these pages for me and don't give a diddly if joe schmoe thinks the blue paper I used is gorgeous. That's great... I play the game because it's fun and I like to leave love on peoples layouts-- even if my comments are gay... I promise they are sincere btw.. even the accidental blank ones LMAO.. the point being.. it's not worth getting all upset about.. leave the lovez.. and carry on. :] that's my story and I'm stickin to it.
 
also... while I usually go back through and comment on as many as I can-- life does happen, and I know I've been a dillweed and accidentally skipped over posts before.. just because I'm a spazz LMAO. So ....... yeh. there was no point in adding that.. I was just sayin :p
 
haha

clinger says it is prolly cause of my <3's... but that doesn't explain why I can't go back and edit it.. gallery just hates me.

I completely agree and I hope my last post didn't seem like I was attacking any one person! I mean, the particular person is in a different country at a very busy/demanding job... maybe she got called away or ran out of time and will leave lovings when she can get back to it :)! I like to assume the best when it comes to these things. Otherwise its SO easy to get my back up and become offended, and then I feel really silly when I realize it wasn't as big of thing as I made it out to be.

This is just a general statement, and not directed at anyone in particular:
If it was a completely intentional, and a way to make a statement (like "I don't like you and therefore REFUSE to leave praise for any of your pages" - which I sincerely hope NOT because I would be so sad...), then yes, that SUCKS, and if peeps can't leave praise and follow the rules, then those ones shouldn't play OR they should post below someone they DO like so as not to skip anyone.
 
Thanks everyone. Please know that I am not getting all upset over this, I just feel that it's unfair to post a LO expecting to get lovin and then not return the same.
 
Oh and I am NOT trying to point the finger at that one gal. I know she is in a very dangerous job right now. Plus, my post was made at 12:40 and hers at 12:42 so we could have been posting at the same time.

My point is that this has happened to me by at least three different people.
