Many of me views here and other places come from the people who have been faithfully following my blog for years. For the most part they are not bloggers, they are readers. I give them the option in my blog to keep their comments hidden from everyone but me. None of them have any desire to join Virily, although I keep trying. They will come and read and take polls and talk to me about them, but that is as far as it goes.
A few of them have agreed to allow me to share their comments as long as I don’t associate it with their name. I thought perhaps some of you here might be interested in their observations. Take them with a grain of salt – they can’t respond because they are stubborn and won’t join!
Guest One ~ “I think that we are the only ones who take your polls.”
Guest Two ~ “I like to read the challenge ones and see who really keeps up with it.”
Guest Three ~ “I wish they would add a guest comment place, even if you didn’t get a viril (which must turn into some kind of money at some point)
Guest Four ~ “Why do you keep whining about things that don’t work? The people who run the site must be okay with it?”

Great idea about the guest comments. I wish we could see what outsiders say.
i love the guest comment idea – that is really awesome!
I often find the comments from readers, both here and elsewhere drives what I post! This is wonderful!
Most comments are positive on the polls
Most of the comments I read are positive.
That’s a good thing right?
Of course, other opinions are important, it allows us to improve our writing.
It’s harder for them because they refuse to join lol
I think it’s always interesting to read other peoples opinions and thoughts on what we write on here and other blog platforms.
Interesting comments. It is good to know other opinions as well. I try to comment on all the posts I read but sometimes I fail.
Always interesting to know other opinions on things. Right now ia a bad time for me on here. Seems I have been put out to pasture. I have no way to add new content and no one is getting back to me about my questions as to why so at least it is great see everyone else posting
Is your create button missing?
I have no create button and just now I read your post about blogging etc and I could not even comment so until I get an answer I wrote to support I guess for now I will go out of here and try again tomorrow, I think they are trying to tell me I am not wanted here at least that is what it feels like.
Are things any better now?
I believe the admin are telling me to go take a hike. I suddenly think I am the only one being treated this way. I told Carol my deadline is November 1 and till then I can read and comment but then they force my hand to make a decision I did not want to make. As a struggling writer, I need every site I write on. This is making my nerves very bad.
It is interesting to hear other’s opinions.
Actually i view as guest sometimes too when I’m outside …
maybe its a good idea to be able to comment as guest
It always depends on my time, sometimes I only have time to visit but whatever I can I also leave a comment.
But you can’t leave a comment if you are not a member of Virily.
