High Ranking Or Quality Discussion For You? What You Choose?

When I search for a discussion, I search for one that who is interesting me. When I have found one, I see how good it is. If it really suck I find another.

I just answer to topic I never answered before or at least I have not answered in weeks. Cause even if members with lots of post is my friend, I just cannot answer a topic that I already answer a day or 2 days ago in other members topic.

I don't take any notice of people's ranking or their post number when I respond to a discussion. I choose which ones I respond to on the quality of the post which starts the discussion and on the topic. I read all my friends new discussions but I can't respond to all of them, as many will be about things which do not happen in my life. I will look for new user discussions and respond if someone is asking for advice or has posted something I find of interest. I will look in top dicussions and hot topics as well. These are often started by high ranking members, but that is because they are people who know how to start a good discussion.

I think that the more friends you have the more responses you get. I do try to respond to most of the discussions that my friends start but i also look for discussions that interest me.

I respond to discussions that interest regardless of the author's ranking. I may be able to explain why people with higher rankings get more responses though. When I come on mylot I check the discussions I have started and respond to them. After that I go to my friends' discussions. People who have been around longer will have more friends and therefore get more responses usually. However, if you put up a really interesting discussion you will get a lot of responses. I had one discussion get over 50 responses and my ranking is lower than yours. I usually spend more time responding to discussions started by other people than to starting my own unless I come up with something I think is interesting. I have gotten quite a few friend requests. Quality responses to discussions will get you friend requests. So keep on posting and you will get more friends. Good luck!
