Welcome!

    there was a glitch
-Can you elaborate? I'd like to have it fixed if possible.
    Any noncomformists out there that feel like they fit in well here?
I'm not sure if I qualify as a "nonconformist," but I do love that Hubski is a place to find and explore new ideas and new ways of thinking. I've had my ideas challenged many times here and I'm the better for it.

    If I start a thread on a topic that I'm interested in but no one else joins in, can I bump it?
I'm not sure what "bump it" means? But you can always comment on a thread, even an old one and it can bring it "back to life" so to speak.

Check out the random button at the bottom of the page. -Always fun.

Enjoy!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

I think the "qualifications" of a nonconformist are to not qualify.

"Let's all be non-conformists together!"

Haha. I like that.

I considered the irony when I wrote the post. Even nonconformists want to fit in.

Thanks for the welcome!

Glitch was fixed by someone I PMed on reddit. Maybe mk? I don't know all the names here.

I really wasn't clear about what I meant by "bump it". I probably should have given an example. What I had in mind was if I started a post on a topic like a TV show or a series and then later, I had a review on another piece of it or the next week in a TV show or just more to add to the topic but no one else seemed interested. I was wondering whether it was considered poor etiquette to continue posting in the comments, adding new information even if no one else joined in.

Thanks for the tip of the random button. That sounds like fun. I check out random subs at reddit all the time.

On the contrary, it's encouraged. Making a comment in an old post will bump it up on the global feed, so people will see it again, and maybe add to your comment.

Thank you!! I was hoping for that answer.

That makes it easier to start posts, knowing that I can add to them later and not have to hope that others will be interested first.
