In getting many responses, is it based of how many friends in your friend list? Is it intend only for a quality post? Interesting discussions? It makes me challenge though..You know i can't hide the feeling to be discourage when i see some and most of my post that have only one or no responses. So meaning my post is boring and nothing interested about? I guess? maybe? Well, better luck next time. But its no big deal for me then..Its just i want to share with you what's i feel. I know i am not alone of this issue. Many out there also who having this situation. Enjoy and happy mylotting!

Ozzeth, do not get discouraged. We all struggle with the same thing. I can post what I think is a really thought provoking discussion and hardly get any responses at all. Then I can post a totally stupid thing such as bathroom activities such as poo or farting and get 100... so go figure LMAO. you post what you want to, and people will respond. It does help to have a large friends list and make good friends as most people are faithful to answer even if the topic is uncomfortable. Chin up and keep posting what moves you. When folks get used to seeing your name about it will happen too. You are still kinda young in mylot just do not give up hope.

I missed your article on poo and farting Angel and would like to see some of the many responses. Over a hundred you say? Obviously the discussion was of a great interest and not a stupid post.

NO OFFENCE to any one on my friends list but I don't allways have knowledge/something good or have any interest in any threads they make so I will not allways enter the disscusion. I post in a disscusion that appeals to me, either from my interest list or from new responces/no responce posts. Maybe you just are unlucky in what you choose to talk about ? Ive often wondered about mylot if it just one big popularity contest and the people wtih the most friends earn the most, but eh thats my thought's and I dont want to hijack your thread.

Mark, in a way you do have to find your spot in mylot. I mean we all were where you are now. Find your niche, when you find and connect with people that really share your own interests and make real friends with some, you will not worry any longer. Even with those of us that have been here for awhile it is hit or miss with discussions. Some days people just don't want to talk seriously and other days they are passionate. I hope you don't give up.

it is somewhat dependent on the friends to get responses. but then also they must be active and also they need to be active. being active also does not always say that you get those responses. those discussions must be very ionteresting to them

Hello there ozzeth, I don't think that no one is interested. Perhaps the mylot lag and also the fact that most are busy typing away discussions and comments that made them focus less on friends' discussions. I try my best to answer most, if not all of my friends' new discussions or older ones. I just love answering them, because it helps me to "fly the time" off work, whenever I'm not at site working. So, like you said enjoy your answering of discussions and keep on posting newer ones. I'm sure there will be people always interested wanting to know what you have to post and all that. It doesn't mean lower responses=lower interests. Take care and havea nice day.

Yes I know what you mean, I am always hesitant about starting new discussions as I worry if anyone will reply. But then I tell myself you'll never ever know if you never ever go and I post away!

It is extremely hard to guage what kind of a response you will get to any given discussion that you start. Having friends who comment on your discussions does help, but usually it the subject matter that defines how many responses you will get. I've noticed that issues that are controversial, or that people have opinions on are more likely to get more responses. I share your pain, some of what I thought were great topics for discussions have fell by the wayside because others just were not interested in them enough to respond. Posting a question, with more than one, and often very different possible answers seems to attract the most responses. Hope that helps, for the most part we are all in the dark as to well any discussion we post will do.

I have responded to what I thought was a very interesting discussion, and the opening post was well thought out and well written. I looked again later at the discussion to find that my response was the only one. Sometimes I have found only a few responses to what I thought was a really good topic. We all have different ideas of what is a good topic. If you don't get any or many responses it does not mean that your discussions are boring or uninteresting. You are not alone in feeling disappointed about the lack of responses.
