I don't want to be the deliverer of bad news here, but this is a semi-literate to literate site. Do you think you could at least make an effort to beef up your posts? We could give you samples of other threads and tips on how to make your posts longer but this is only if you are willing to put in the effort to better your posts.

Can I lend a hand? This is what I do, not sure if it helps. - Copy and paste the person's post in microsoft word (or something similar0.
- Read through the post once.
- Read any bits you did not understand again.
- Read through post, as you do so write your post WITHIN their's. Using bold or a different font so you can see a differenace.
- This will mean you can pick out each LITTLE action they make and write how your character replies etc.
- Then re-read post and add anythign you think would be good.
Also, do the five sense, smell, sight, touch, taste, sound...and anything else.

i definitely agree to what zain-san has said.
anyway, to add on to the 'five senses' thing, you should also incorporate feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and whatnots of your characters. like little silent inquiries or question they have on what they're seeing. then there's the fact about comment on the other person in the thread. you can add how they looked, their conduct, and etc.
i'm not that great either, so zain-san's advice might make more sense. :/
