I have been here about 6 months and always used to wonder how poeple got a 100 plus responses to a discussion well it has finally happened and I am just so excited my best before that was a whopping 86 but most avarage between 20 and 40 and some none at all. How many of you have had discussion responses of over a 100? What is your highest to date? This is great and I have managed to respond to every one too, boy are my fingers tired. I would also like to thank all of you who participated in my discussions to help me achieve this. I think you guys are great. Ellie :D

I've had a couple of discussions which have made the digest and attracted lots of responses. To be honest, I wish they hadn't attracted quite so many actually, as I find responding to that many people rather hard work but feel obliged to make the effort.

Heartiest congratulation on achieving a near century mark (hopefully you will reach your maiden century soon). It really feels great to read more than 100 responses. I also do not get this much of responses. As far as I can recall, it happened twice or thrice during my stint here that I got more than 100 responses to my discussions. I love to read quality responses, instead of quantity. Keep going and keep smiling! Happy mylotting !!!! 1

That is good. Now you will be busy commenting on the replies. I will have to check if I got a hundred on any of mine, but too busy writing to notice. If I get time, I will check, but I do hope they are more than just a couple of pages. I guess it depends on the number of friends you have and how interesting your topics are. Mine are not that great, unless you count that hamburger one.

I am still catching up on my comments. And yesterday I had to finish off answering all the digest because we were away in Saskatoon during the weekend and I did not want to use the motel computer. Oh and I am waiting for the day when I have enough money to order my laptop. Then I will be typing like crazy, but when am I gong to find enough time to count the number of responses to my posts, so much to do and so little time to do it in.

Hey don't put your discussions down they are all good I guess some just get more coverage than others and making the daily digest usually helps bump up the numbers too eh! I am sure you have many, I have managed to respond to everyone so now I am catching up on other respones and trying to answer discussions of others too. Fingers tired LOL. Ellie :D

I have been here for almost two years now. I am not sure what the highest amount of responses that I have ever got here. I do not start many discussions. I know some of them have over 100 respoinses to them though. I did not get them all in one day. I got them over time. I have not went back to check if I got that many in one day. I am a little bit behind on responding to my own discussions and my friends new ones. I am trying to gert caught up on them now.

Hi ellie, wooohooo! Congratulations for that..I can feel how your fingers now! LOL! I have been active here for the last 3 months and so far, I got 2 post which has almost a hundred responses! Not been 100 yet! LOL! I am also amazed for some who always have 100 plus responses and one time I bumped with a topic which has 4oo plus responses! AMazing! Anyway, I got a lot of friends and unfortunately they are not as active as me..Maybe they have also valid reasons for that... But, I will continue to try to think with an interesting topic here for me to try having those amazing numbers,LOL! I hope I will be able! Anyway, continue posting since I am one of those who enjoy to read all your post!

Hello ellie333. You have got it going on, girl! To get 100 plus responses to a discussion you initiated on myLot is amazing! And so is 86 responses, for that matter. Quite frankly, if you are getting an average of 20 to 40 responses, I think that is also impressive. Well, here's my "big number", 31. Geesh, and you're really not gonna believe this, but the next highest response number is 13, I think. All the rest of my discussions have less than 10 postings apiece. I cannot hit on a discussion that people care to comment on, I guess. I haven't figured out the "secret" to finding subjects people will choose to comment on. But hey, I am very, very impressed with your numbers, ellie333. You go! I bow to thee o myLot Queen!
@ellie333 (21016)
17 Jul 08
Hi PearlGrace, Thanks but no need to curtsey! LOL. 31 is great too, it has only been very recently the numbers of responses have been increasing prior to that I suppose most averaged between 10-20 so I suppose perserving and consistency has paid off really. Ellie :D

My debt free discussion got 114 responses, so far, more may trickle in. 90 responses on my sleep aid question. 106 on asking if you get a soft drink with your fast food order. 105 on my land line question. 82 on hot tea or iced tea. 131 on if you could live without tv for one month. I'd like to thank you ellie for responding to mine.

Wow that is an impressive array of discussions over a 100, I have just achieved this one and got close I suppose with my 86 but I also have many with just a handful. I suppose it is finding a subject that people can relate to and easily respond to eh! I would like to thank you also for participating in mine. I think the response that made me laugh the most was your most expensive drink reply, it had others in stitches too. LOL. Ellie :D

Wow, good for you. I haven't started that many discussions myself. (I reserve that for other sites where I've been a member for longer and, therefore, get read lots more.) The most responses I've had so far was 57. After that 22 and 18 were my next highest. :-)

Congratulations on having a discussion with over 100 responses back to it. Is that not a Great feeling indeed? I know I have a few with high response back to them, and even if it takes a while to go thru them, and respond back to some of them, I also learn a lot about others as well.

Hi Tamara, It is not that your discussions aren't interesting at all I still have loads that get a lot less responses than 14, I guess with this one I got lucky on picking on a topic that was easy to respond to and also people felt strongly about. Keep posting, keep responding and keep having FUN is my only advice and I do know that you enjoy being here. Huggles. Ellie :D
