It's even happened several times in this thread, where someone mentions they are used to getting ignored, and then that post just floats away into obscurity.
In my opinion, the biggest contributing factor to this problem is that, after a while, a lot of these posts start to sound the same, and when so many people starting sounding the same, it just becomes noise. Noise is easier to filter and tune out than to sift through. Case in point, after posting this I glanced upward to see that Kellach had posted while I was typing my own post out. I glanced through it just now and what I see (being honest here, not offensive) is more of the same "nobody wants to help the little guy find more RP" argument that, to me, has become noise that I have to tune out.
Why am I tuning it out? Because I don't have the time to dedicate to helping a bunch of new people out with roleplay. I've got one new contact I picked up recently who I'm helping to ease into the game and into RP, and that's already a stretch in that I have trouble getting to them. Copious free time, I do not have (most of my posting and moderating on the RPC is done from work).

Which is perfectly fine! If someone isn't comfortable selling themselves, they shouldn't feel obligated to do so.
But expecting to find RP here without selling yourself, the way many of us have had to do, is a little like having your cake and eating it too.
