I was just going through and reading different "discussions w/ no responses" and these are discussions noone has responded to. Yes alot of them are hard to follow ( lol ) and or have something in their discussion that is against mylot regulations. I found a few that really caught my eye that I knew I would be able to respond to that were w/ in the guidelines of mylot regulations. I was wondering if any of you here in mylot go under this discussions area? I went page after page and noone had responded to any of these discussions. I am curiouse to know what some of you think.

It's good to know that you go in and try to respond to some of the new discussions and leave your feed back. I'm sure those greatly appreciate it and your friends I'm sure do to when you get to theirs as well. Keep up the good work and thanks for the response take care.

I do respond to them occassionaly. It's nice if someone notices your discussion, isn't it? I have one discussion with zero response and I want to delete it but I can't.
You're right, some or those discussions with no responses are not appealing. Some are but maybe no one really noticed. Most of them comes from new users. I think before they start a discussion they should respond to others first and have themselves noticed or recognized.

It's good that you take the time to notice others in the discussions with 0 responses. I'm sorry to hear that your one discussion did not get reconized and if you let me know which one it is I would be more than happy to go and read it and leave my feed back on it. We all deserve a fair chance here and I try to do just that everyday when I can get to them. I thank you for the response and take care.

Yes, I do respond to the discussions with zero respone. I myself was the victum of the same, when I was new here on mylot. Some of my discussions, would remain without even a single answer. I had no friends to support at that time, gradually I came to know that if no one is responding, it is your friends who would help you in your hour of need. I agree with you that in the category of 'zero response', we may find some interesting discussions, which might have been ignored by others, may be due to oversight or some other reasons.

I do realize that when we start a discussion that it goes under the category of discussion w/ no responses and when answered by how ever many it moves up in to the reg. discussions.
I had started a bunch and they all moved out of that category quick. I guess it also depends on how interesting you make your discussions. I try to help the new ones that just leave one or two words and tell them they need to be more specific in order for any one to respond and they are greatful for the advice. I think every one deserves a chance. Thanks for the response and take care.

Yea. I will, especially if those discussions belong to my friends. I'll read through them and if it's interesting, I'll be the 1st respondent.
Someone has to get the ball rolling and I'm more than happy to be that person. Usually after the first response, it's easier to get the 2nd.

It's great that you can get to these discussions and answer your friends discussions and others if you get to. I try to get to this also everyday for I want to see the newbies and others that start new discussions feel like they are being seen and heard. I think every one deserves a fair chance and want to see them stick around mylot and have fun like the rest of us here do. Keep up the good work and thanks for responding take care.

Sure, nobody wants a goose egg on their discussion list. Sometimes I find a lot of them are from new members and they are usually regional and I don't really have anything to add or I'm just not familar with their topic. Every now and then I find one and I try to be the first to add a comment, thats where the real fun is, being first.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. I try to go in and help those that only leave 4 words and try to help them by letting them know they should be more spific when starting a discussion that they will get more responses this way. Alot of them have come back to thank me for this advice. I have a few newbies on my friends list today that have made great improvement from when I first saw their discussions to where they are today and they are doing great and I can see just how happy they are to get the responses they are getting. I just wish I could keep up with all these newbies that are comeing in that are haveing this problem but there are far to many of them to save them all. Some will stay others may not. I just hope they decied to stay and really try and put in all their efforts here at mylot for every one deserves a fair chance. Thanks for reponding and take care, :)

I do that just about everyday. There are lot of discussion in there that is hard to respond to but there are also alot that are easy to respond to. I also go there because some discussions just get overlooked and go with out responses. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one.

I agree with you for I like to go in and help the new ones that are struggleing with their discussions and get no responses because of only haveing 2-4 words and 0
responses cause no one knows how to respond to those. I will leave a response with those and tell them they need to be more specific on their discussion and make it 4 to 5 lines if possible in order for them to get any responses. Alot of them are appreciative on this and have thanked me for it. I want to see them have a fair chance and stay here in mylot and enjoy posting/responding to discussions like the rest of us every one deserves a fair chance in my eyes and helping them out is what I like to do best.

It's good to hear you get to these discussion with 0 responses that interest you and leave your feed back for them. I'm sure they greatly appreciate it very much. I will get to these as well but I also enjoy helping out the newbies that only leave 2-4 worded discusiions letting them know that they will get a better response if they give more imput on their discussion and to make it 4 to 5 lines long. I've had many come back and thank me for this for they are now gettng more responses to their discussions that they start. I try to ghet to all areas of topics includeing my frinds every day when I can. Thank you for responding and take care.

I respond to those that don't have replies if they are easy to follow and are valid. Some of them are just pointless, hard to follow discussions that I'd rather not reply to at all.

Yes i know what you mean for I have seen alot of these myself. I will take the time to leave them a short reply of they need to be more specific in their started discussion that they would more likely get a response to it. Alot have thanked me for this advice and some are even o my friends list today and I see they have improved and are doing much better and getting those responss they so longed to get but wern't back when. I want to see to every one have a fair chance here at MyLot and stick around to have fun starting and respong to discussions like the rest of us. thanks for your response and take care. :)

Those are the discussion I tend to go to first because i SEE A TREND WHERE some people respond to certain people's discussion. I respond to everyone, if it interest me then I will say what I have to say. Unless it's something that goes against what I stand for and it's nothing outrageous I try to answer. Silly post don't get a respond.

I agree with you and it's great that you take the time to get to these discussions and respond like you do. I try my best to help those out that are struggling and only leave 2-4 words where no one know what there talking about. I will leave a simple reply of they need to be more specific in order for any one to respond to their discussion. Alot of them are appreciative on this and will thank me for it.
I do find alot of good discussions in this area as well and come to it every day when I can as well as get to my friends discussions and other topic areas. Thank for responding and take care.

Yes, I go to look at the discussions with no responses a couple of times a day. I try to answer a few of them each time. I usually have to scroll through a few pages to pick and choose which ones I want to answer.
I have found quite a few good discussions hidden in there!

That is good that you make an effort to try and get to these discussions and answer the ones of your interest. I am sure they appreciate it very much I try to do just the same as well. I believe we all deserve a fair chance and we all help eachother out by responding to eachothers discussions. Thanks for responding and take care.

I have tried to respond to those that I have understood
but sometimes I really have not a clue as to what
the poster really wants. then I just bypass it. Maybe
I am not just perceptive enough or else the poster
did not make it clear. but I find some I cannot answer.

I do understand what you mean by this. I try my best to go in to these kinds of discussions and leave a simple reply by telling them that they need to be more specific in their started discussions and make it 4-5 lines long if possible and they would most likely get responses. Alot of them have come back and thanked me for this and a few of them I have accepted as friends and I see their discussions today and they are much better still a little confuseing but are understandable and they are getting responses where's befor they wern't. I just want to see alot of these newbies have a fair chance like the rest of here at MyLot and stick around. Thankyou for responding and take care. :)

Usually I will clck on 'new discussions' to look at new discussions. I feel that some discussions have too much replies, and I don't really like replying them. :) I think we should give some effort to people who bother starting up a topics.. especially for people like me who is too bored to start one. :P

I think that any one that start's new discussions especially the new user's that they deserve a chance to be heard and answered to if you can understand what it is they are trying to say. I will take the time to try and respond to the new discussions that have no responses and let them know that they are being seen but need to be more specific and make their discussion longer than what they have some only have two words or just one line. I tell them if they can do this and follow the MyLot rules and regulations they should get more responses. I have gotten back some replies of how grateful these new user's are and they will try to do so. I wish them all the best of luck. Thanks for the response and take care.

That is great that you do this for I try to as well. I think the new user's find it especially nice when we respond to their discussions for they feel like they are being heard. Yes some need some help w/ knowing how to be more specific when starting a discussion for they will only leave two word or one liner's and need to make it longer. I will try to let them know this and whether they want to take my advice or not is up to them. Some have come back to thank me for telling them this and they will try to do so w/ their next one's that they start. I think it good that we all can be heard and answered to.
Thanks for the response and take care.

Yes some go in order when first comeing on to MyLot they will start w/ their friends discussions first then move on from there which is what I do to. I will last but not least go to discussion w/ no reponses and try to answer what I can from those discussions. Some of them I leave feed back on how to help them get more responses such as makeing their discussions longer, being more specific, and following the MyLot rules and regulations. Alot of them are greatful for me telling them this and will try to do so w/ there next started discussions. They just need a little guideline I think and w/ our help they will get that. Thanks for the response and take care.

I usually try to check those forums each day. I know how much I enjoy others responding to my topics, so I try to help others out. Sometimes, they are empty of responses because there are so many other discussions on the same topics, but, maybe, they didn't have time to look for them. So, I try to help them have a discussion by looking for them and responding.

Yes it is nice to know that we all can be heard. Alot of these new user's I think feel like they don't fit in. I know some of the discussions are hard to follow and they need to be more specific when starting discussions. Some only have two words to one liner's and we just don't undersstand what they are trying to say. I will try and tell them by responding that they need to have to be more specific when starting a discussion and make it longer. Most of them are greatful for this advive for they know what to do for the next discussions that they start and I get thanked for it. Thanks for the response and take care.

Yes this is true and I try my best to do just that. I will try to answer the discussion of the new user's that I can. There are one's that look lost and need some guide line to help them get on there way and fit in like the rest of us I will also try to help these people out as well. I just let them know that they have to be more specific when starting a discussion and make their discussions longer that they will have a better chance of getting responses. They are greatful for this and thank me in return for this information.
I feel everyone has a deserveing chance here at MyLot. Thanks for the response and take care.

Yes I have responded some and will respond the rest as long as I can relate to it. Doesn't really matter. It's is really hard to comment when you dont really dont have experience on that situation.

Yes I can understand how you feel. I try to respond the best that I can and give them a response to the best of my knowledge of how I see and read their discussion. I know it can be hard at times to understand what is being said but they feel appreaciated when someone does hear them out. I will give them some help on how they can improve their discussion by telling them to add more to thier discussion and not just 2 to 3 words. I have had a few come back and thank me for this for they are now getting the hang of it and are getting alot more responses than they were in the beinning.
