Lack of Responses

Just asking? but has anyone else found a lack of your posting being answered in the boards? How about this new thumbs up/down? Mine has been 67 for months and I gave out a lot of good (valid) answers to people, but no idea if anyone cared to click the up option.

So please, admins, do not get upset at me for asking. I have just personally seen this with my own postings.

Just trying to figure if my questions/answers warrant no response as much, or if there has been a decline in answering/rating participation.
