There are 17 new eHelps right now, and when I signed on there were 19. I've answered 4 of them, and they just keep coming. I looked back to 2005's eHelps, and people gave them sometimes 5 or 6 answers a piece! Now, we usually get, at the most, 3.

What happened, guys? :\

I've made it my duty to say hi to all the LW cats.

But yes... a lot of eHelps are getting no replies or one reply only.

Points!
Yes, we know who you are.

Advice #1: Don't type in caps.
Advice #2: Use punctuation.
Advice #3: Isolate why your sister is running away (I.E. the cause of her problems) and work for a solution.

Example:

Problem: Your sister is doing drugs because she has acne and everyone makes fun of her.
Solution: Get her anti-acne cream.

Problem: Your sister is doing drugs because her boyfriend dumped her.
Solution: Get her a new boyfriend.

Jesus fuck, it's fairly obvious.

There are just times where i feel like i can't give my best advice and those are the times where i try to avoid eHelp.

Week in and week out,
Your lucky charms will always let you down,
Maybe next week we'll see,
Maybe.

I'm just a lazy fucker who replies to an eHelp every fortnight or so. (alright, more often than that, when I come online)... the number of eHelps appear to be increasing as well, and the complexity varies a great amount. I, for one, feel slightly intimidated by seeing such a lot and being bombarded with great slabs of text. A lot of good SLs have become moderators as well, and I assume it takes up a lot of time.

When I get my love back, I will vanish.
Book, I wish to see your face.

I'm not going to justify why I'm not replying so much these days. I'm just not. I'm still helpful when I can be, which is enough imo.
