Ajay that's easy first of all you need to be around for a long time , if you check most people getting more than 20 responses have at least 1000 posts . Also you need to make a big network of carefully selected productive friends who will oblige you by answering your topic however trivial it may be (like most discussion topics are on mylot hehe) and finally you got it you need to make an interesting attention snatching as unique as possible discussion and there are some ways to do that but hey they are secret of the trade (which I am hoping someone will tell me soon hahah)

You asswer has weight in it. The persons with rating 1000 or more generally get more responses because by that time they get developed many friends.

LOL. The only one like that which I remember seeing was the one where the poster said: "I know the secret to making lots of money on myLot," and then ditched the thread. Everyone and his brother came on saying, "Oh, please tell me the secret!" And then one person said, "Hey, this person was just on another thread last week asking for hints on how to make money on myLot.
So... what is instructive about this one is that you find something that people are passionately interested in (making money on mylot, for instance) and toss out a bone. If your title is provocative enough "the secret to..." "amazing..." or "free...", you'll probably get a number of views, which will translate into a bigger percentage of replies.
Great post. Best wishes on the 60+ replies!

Even though there were valuable contributions from people like yourself about how to make tips on myLot, it was probably removed for a variety of reasons. My guess is that it didn't help to have a number of people with more or less meaningless and non-contributory posts of "Hey, send me your secret, too!" MyLot's guidelines and FAQs talk about the sort of posts and threads that will be deleted, and that sort of discussion (with one word or otherwise meaningless answers) get the ax.

The way to get that many responses is to post something that will interest a lot of people. Once you do a lot of responding and build up friends you will get more responses, but only if it is something a lot of people can relate to. There is no secret, some discussions make the cut and some do not. You just need to strike a chord with folks. Good luck.

the only way u can achieve that is by having friends who post in your discussions.other than that there are no specific tips to obtain your goal
