Let me see, I am just wondering if you guys always get cool ideas to start new discussions wherein you will never get frustrated that after some period of time, You still don't have responses for that. I just want to share to you guys that I would prefer to respond to discussions but there are times that I would try to start new ones for the sake of knowing whether what someone thinks about that topic. So let me know about your point of views as well because I would really love to hear some from you. Have a great time ladies and gentlemen.

These days I am mostly concentrating on responsding to other discussions rather than starting new discussions. I am not getting important discussions to start. But its always better to start new discussions also. I would start few new discussions from today. Keep posting and have fun. cheers!

Hi best_jr73! Most of the time I respond to friends' discussions here and I only create my own discussions rarely. It is not that there won't be any responses because surely enough many friends here will support your discussion one way or the other. I guess, it is more fun for me to respond and participate on my friends' discussions and I am just lazy to make my own. haha.. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

I try to do equal amounts of both though I think I'm better at writing discussions rather than answering them. I know I have over 14 pages of unresolved discussions and trust me I try and resolve then quickly it just depends on what I have time for. LOL!!!!

i mostly respond and look around. in that way you can meet more friends and know more members. if i started a discussion, the people who responded there, i will look at their discussion also then see what i can respond there. its give and take for me. i make sure i started a discussion atleast once a week or once in two weeks.

..hmm..this is a pretty good topic to hear..
..mostly i spend time responding than making new discussions... because i really have fun reading points of views of other people than creating one...=)
..and one of the reason i don't create discussions is because it is hard to make one..hehehe

By now, I usually respond to others' discussions than make my own. I am currently enjoying answering the posts of other members especially the new ones who are still starting here. I also find it cool knowing many information from other members especially those who share some controversial news these days.

I also seldom start new discussions, because I don't usually get overwhelming success doing so. I'm also not keen to start those trivial kind of discussions like 'What is your favorite color?' or 'How many times do you bathe a day?' I much prefer to look for interesting and sometimes challenging discussions to provide a response. I think I can add more value to this forum by offering my views on issues raised by the community here than to start a discussion on my own.

Hello there. I can say that I usually spend my time here responding to other discussions because I can relate to their topics but there are times that I would start my own discussion just to have a new topic here in mylot. Fortunately, there are lots of mylotters responding to my topic. I really am glad. Thanks guys!

i like to post discussions. but sometimes as i scroll along page after page in topics i want to discuss i see that the topics that i want to discussed has already been talked about. hehehehe.. so i just reply to their discussions. it is easier to reply to other peoples discussions. and i like to interact to what they are saying and etc.

I think that the longer I am on here, the more the discussions I start will most likely drop off to even less than they are now. I try to answer all the new discussions from my friends list, then go to my interest, then if I have something I think will be pretty interesting, I will post that.

i do respond to others' discussion and i start a new discussion only when i have a new idea (i guess) in my mind. i believe that responding to others, may pull some comments and new friends, as well...

Some days I have a difficult time coming up with topics to start or thinking of questions to ask. On those days I simply respond to others topics. Of course then there are days like yesterday. It was so unbelievably slow and it was a struggle to reach my personal goal. I couldn't think of many topic starters so I had to wait for others to do that. What's worse is then I will turn the computer off and go to bed. While laying there all these great ideas come to me but by the time I get up in the morning they are gone again lol.

I usually respond to every interest post that I come across with, from friends and other members. I seldom get to start my own discussions lately, the population is growing almost everyday and I always find something for me to share my opinion at. Also, I find it easier for me to participate here.
