I just realised there are 8 people whose contributions I'm tracking, but haven't returned the favour.

This makes me a little bit sad :(.

How about you guys?

I used to track back everyone who tracked me, but I eventually ended up with so many blog entries that I just didn't care about that the blog entries I did care about were getting buried and missed, which more or less forced me to get more picky.

It's nothing personal. :P

I don't track, I don't even know what the hell it is. Is it just like stalking someone but instead of sitting outside their house with binoculars, lube and a towel you do it from the safety of your computer?

At times, depends on my mood I suppose.

GabuEx

I recall it taking a suspiciously long time for you to 'track back' I wonder what i did to become more interesting. :shock:

Edit: looks like you're in the 'other people I'm tracking group'... nevermind. I must have been thinking of NotGabuEx :oops:

Hmm, perhaps I just have to consider that to those 8 people, I'm just not that interesting :P.

I won't bother tracking you then Gabu, you'll just ignore me :P

Such is life I suppose :).

Also, if anyone is currently tracking me and I don't show up on your friends, send me a PM. Sometimes my account has issues. I still have someone who should be a friend listed in my "tracking me" area after adding them.

I've had that problem a few times. Just go back into people tracking you and try adding them, iirc that's what I did and it worked.

There must be at least 700 + users who are upset with me then. :( There are over 900 + users tracking me and I'm only tracking 200 + of them.

Thats the bizzaro part. My only option is "stop tracking." It implies they're being tracked, but I can't move them into the wolf pack with everyone else.

I just realised there are 8 people whose contributions I'm tracking, but haven't returned the favour.

This makes me a little bit sad :(.

I've had a few people track my contributions... but I don't even know what that means and didn't even know it was possible or polite to track them back.

I check their blogs. When there's nothing there, how can I know who they are? If I see them posting in OT, then I usually know who the person is, but if there's nothing there, if I've never seen them before, how can I know who they are the moment they track me? For all I know, they could be a troll, ban dodger, or someone just looking to pad their friends list. (I don't judge when a random person follows me, :p I'm just saying that I don't know who they are and for all I know, they could be that)

Yeah I understand. I guess I didn't consider that you'd get tracked that often by people who don't blog or who don't post in the same boards you do.

Glad to see you don't just do a blanket "ignore" of people though :P.

I look for a little more than just blogs...if a member has no game collection, then I won't track back.

Imo, it's a little odd for someone to join a gaming website, and not have any games listed in their profile.:P

That's about it in a nutshell for me too. Just about everyone I'm tracking is someone whom I've gotten to personally know one way or another on GameSpot. The chance that I'll track someone back goes up exponentially if I actually know who they are when they track me. :P

^This I also take a look at the level if it is below level 10 with no blog I guess he won't either post or my blog or post anything worth on his. I also believe that if a user tracks you and he is low leveled he just wants you to join his union, and his friends and little brother's ones No Thnx, So guys next time you get your feelings hurt check out some of the reasons why we won't track back
