Ah, well. There are a few possible reasons for that:

1. Your first post was buried in the middle of another person's introduction thread. People simply might not have seen it or realized you were also introducing yourself for the first time. If you actually want to join the PPC community, I recommend starting your own introduction thread when you get a chance. You'll get lots of responses, guaranteed.

2. Apart from your question about the IRC, your only posts so far have been about recruiting for your own Sue-slaying group. As Hermione of Vulcan mentioned in response to your other blog post, we may not be interested in joining up with a new Sue-slaying group when we're already in a pretty well-established one, especially when the person doing the inviting is a) unknown to us and b) typing on a phone apparently possessed by Toey (the One Toe-Ring of Typos). Plus, you never linked to your Sue Slayers story, so we couldn't even see what you wanted us to be interested in.

3. That thread is a good bit down the Board now, more than halfway according to my scroll bar. It's unlikely that many people are looking down that far.

4. Apparently the site that hosts the Board is moving to another server. It appears to be in read-only mode for the duration, so no one is replying to anything until that's finished. There's nothing we can do about that but wait.

EDIT: So the above was just due to me needing to reboot my laptop so it recognized the Board's new IP address. But the rest still applies.

The good news is that you can use this time to read the articles I linked and our other guides and FAQs. (If you look up at the top of the wiki, there's a blue bar with several tabs above it. The one labeled "Help and FAQs" is particularly useful.) The best way to impress anyone is to sound like you know what you're talking about, and knowing your audience is equally important. {= )
