Do you tend to start discussions more than responding to others?

I tend to respond more than posting my own discussions.I may start one here and there, but I mostly respond.

I enjoy responding to others discussions as well as starting my own. There are sometimes days when I cannot think of a single topic to start a discussion. At that time I just post replies on others discussions.

I prefer responding to discussions made by others. Like you, I only make discussions when ideas hit me. Other than that, I am contented with answering stuff that I find enjoyable to read.

When I first started here at mylot I started a fewdiscussions on my own. I then decieded to start jst responding to others and get caught up on the answering the people that had responded to my started discussions. I think now that Ihave been here a while I like to respond to other people's discussions for it's easier and I really have a hard time coming up with topics to start on my own.

I will do both as well. When I have nothing interesting to make a new discussion then I will respond to others discussions. If I have found any interesting topics, I will share my opinions to the topics. I enjoy doing both ways and I can earn from responding and discussing as well. Cheers!

[i][b]hey yeah i can never think of much discussions but have started them!! i respond more though im trying to reach 500 so i can copy and paste then i think i will be posting more discussion hehe [/b][/i]

i am more a respondent rather than starting a discussion... i never receive lots of response when i start a discussion... so it is a bit discouraging me... now i start discussion every now and then... but still prefer to response more... take care and have a nice day...

I tend to respond more than start my own discussions. I have started some of my own but I only start discussions when I need help with something. I thing it is easier responding, especially since I don't have the time to be on here that often. :)

I respond more to others than starting my own discussion. I only have about less than a hundred discussions that I've started whereas I have more than a thousand posts for responding. It's more easier that way and like I said before, there are days when ideas to start a new topic really is slow for me cos most of the time it's existing already. So, I just wait for an inspiration, an experience to come up and that's the time I start my own but most of the days, I just respond to others.

No. I tend to respond more than I start the new ones!

I don't start many discussions. When I first arrived here, I read two discussions that have kept me from starting many discussions. The first said that the originator did not often respond to newbie discussions. In fact, I think the writer said that he/she did not respond to anyone with fewer than 100 responses made. Others joined in and said similar things. The second discussion I found said that the writer would not accept friend requests from anyone with fewer than 100 posts. Some joined in and said they didn't accept friend requests from anyone with fewer than 500 posts. Those two things made me decide that I should be a bit more active before starting discussions. I didn't necessarily like the attitude, nor did I agree with it (I often look for newbie discussions myself), but it did keep me from actively posting discussions. I tend to post my discussions elsewhere, where I know they'll be appreciated...and just comment here.

I definitely respond to discussions more, I wish more people would just respond than post, I hate when I see someone posts five discussions in a row, making 50% of content on a page of "new" discussions completely theirs haha, I cannot stand that because they put a lot less thought and effort into their discussions. I might make one discussion in a day, though yesterday I made three throughout the day because I was chatty haha. But anyways, you are more likely to get best responses and more money by just responding anyway. Some days I can reply to only ten discussions and make over fifty cents, so I am happy with my strategy. And you mention recognizing members, you haven't been here for that long looking at your count being only sixty, though your picture makes me laugh, so I can't forget you haha! Happy mylotting! And good luck!

I respond to many many more discussions than I start. I do this for a variety of reasons ranging. Lack of participation in discussions I have started to there are so many interesting discussions already going here at mylot.com.

i just joined but i think im gonna try and do both. i waould like to get to know more people as well as voice my opinions and have people respond.

I tend to respond to discussions a lot more than start discussions of my own. When I began on My Lot I had lots of ideas for starting discussions. I asked some questions and got some great answers. These days I don't often have things in mind to discuss. I find it interesting and enjoyable to respond to discussions about topics that I am interested in and know about. I like making friends from all of the world on My Lot. Travel is my favorite topic and there were not any new discussions on that last time I looked so I might think of starting a discussion later.

If there is a topic on my mind at the time, I might start a discussion. But mostly I respond to other people's discussions. One of those might spark something and I will go start a discussion of my own. I have a method...I check out top discussions, those with no responses, new user discussions, and my friends discussions. By that time I have done so much responding, that my brain is emptied out and I can't think of anything else to say.

I do a little bit of both but i always respond back when someone responds to me.

You have to do both if you want to become a successful MyLotter. It would be fun sometimes to start your own discussion and read other people's reactions. You can learn from their responses as they learn from you in return. MyLotting is a two way afair, in fact three way- affair : Posting a discussion, Responding to discussions and Posting some pictures. Oh I forgot, also rating some answers, Happy Mylotting.

I am pretty new here. I have not even reached 100 posts yet so I don't know if I really qualify to be responding to this discussion but I would like to tell you what I feel. I have been responding mostly. And in the 57 posts that I have made before participating in this discussion I don't think I have started more than 15 discussions. So that would be a ratio of 1:4 I suppose. I think thats a pretty healthy ratio to maintain. If you only keep making new discussions and never bother to add value to others discussions how do you expect others to participate in the discussions you make? That would simply undo the whole purpose of a site like mylot. we are here to share our views and without participating in other discussion you are not sharing your views about the topics that matter to others. If you are only replying to others and not starting your own discussions how would others know about the questions that you have in mind but don't have an answer to. Wouldn't you like to have answers to these questions? Where better than mylot to post them and get multi dimensional view on it.

I respond more. I started a few. Then I saw people complaining about newbies who break the rules my posting similar discussions. Uh hello with hundreds of thousands of people isn't that bound to happen? :)
