Do you feel your discussion is wasted when you don't receive a lot of responses?

No, it's not a matter of frustation as there are a lot of discussions going on, so if you do not receive response to one discussion , you may get hundreds for some other..

Yes, I would feel that way if I made the discussion a couple of days ago.. I would wonder why I didn't get as many responses as I'd hoped that I should have gotten. I would feel like as if my topic was very boring or dull.

No I don't really feel frustrated. It only means it wasn't meant to be. It gives me a challenge to do better next time I start a discussion. I have to be truthfull and say I don't start a lot of discussions, but I know I should do it more. Have a nice day

I don't feel frustrated at all. There are lots of posts every moment. older ones are easily get refreshed to older pages. So, if you post during the time that most of people are sleeping, when they wake up, your post probably already gone.

I don't mind if I don't get a lot of responses. I am happy if I get any. Getting any feedback is nice. I like getting a lot of responses, but I appreciate it anytime even just one person takes the time to respond. I understand why you felt frustrated when you took the time to write. I think it's just that there are so many topics and questions that not all the questions get a lot of responses.

Yes but just not mine. I see alot of ridiculous ones for example picking your nose to the color of blue jeans. These seems to get alot of responses for some reason. It's beyond me why people waste their time with it. There are alot of good discussions out there that deserve a comment or suggestion. We all have our opinions and this one is just mine. This is not meant to offend anyone.

No, not really, because sometimes that one answer can be really insightful and may help one person out there in need. Sometimes it is good to get what is on your mind off so you can move forward. This can be a good outlet for that.

I recall reading someone's post a year ago when I was still relatively new here in mylot, regarding the secret or guide to getting a lot of online friends, earnings, and replies to one's discussions. And one of these ways is to start your own discussions. I thought this was a good idea so I followed it. Unfortunately, the first few discussions I introduced here went unresponded to, or the other ones got replies fewer than three. In contrary, I admit that I felt a bit disappointed with myself because I assumed that the discussions I started were uninteresting. Yes, you're absolutely right, it's frustrating. As a result, I resorted to not creating my own discussions for some time. Personally, these unreplied discussions of mine or those with less than eight responses become my unresolved ones because I'm still not losing hope that weeks or months from now, they will be answered by other mylotters. Also, I am waiting for eight or more replies in each discussion before finally marking the best respondent. But after a few months and after I gained more friends here, I tried doing my own discussions again and happily, I got several replies to them; even to the point of being surprised because of much responses I received but not as much as fifty replies, like you already did here in this particular discussion. I feel that I must congratulate you about this because finally, "you've broken out of the mold", as other people say.

Everyone is happy if his or her discussion have more responses but if it don't have more responses, it isn't mean your discussion is wasted. Maybe your discussion is started in a wrong time, at that time, less people come to mylot. I think the things you should do is waiting. There are many people here but they don't meet your discussion in a short time. Maybe a days later, someone meet your discussion and will give responses. Also, you can make more discussion and make more opportunity to have more responses.

To be honest with you, it does not really bother me that much how many responses I get to a discussion. I find that the less I get, the more time I can spend chatting to the ones that do respond, when there is a lot it becomes tedious trying to talk to everyone. I think that as long as I get one response then I know that at least one person has understood me and has connected with me through my discussion.

actually it's frustrating if your discussion which you think is very good but received fewer responses as you expected. i do feel that kinder of wasted.thus usually i comment on it through which i make it more possibile be seen by my friends.

Oh yes indeed. it's very frustrating and I admit I used to get very frustrated about it but now I just take it in stride and try not to mind. In fact I even posted a discussion about it pointing out that trivial topics get more responses than discussions which require some thought. ha ha. Well I guess c'est la vie!

i would probably be disappointed but when u think about it there are so many of the same questions on here u r lucky to get an answer most of the time.

No discussion is ever a waste,sometimes it only takes one person to respond and have others decide to join in .

I dont feel that it is wasted because I dont have alot of time to spend here in fact sometime I dont get here for a few days and can only respond to a few discussions before bed time,I feel I have made a few friends here that respond to my discussions and thats what counts so I guess I just go on with my mylot life when I can. I have felt frustrated when I respond to discussions and the person I responded to did not feel it was necassary to respond back but responded to the post ahead of mine and behind mine and never even said thank you to me so I just quit responding to him since apparently he dont really want to be my friend. I enjoy mylot though so I will just do my own thing while I am here. You have a wonderful night and dont give up on getting response's.

Hi richiem, what's up. This is a very good discussion. I do notice that some discussions which have more or less repeated questions are having lots of responses and that is a real wonder actually. I am thinking whether discussions are answered to due a popularity of someone or rather someone answering from their friends' notification settings. I am answering yours on the latter basis, and at the same time, I saw your discussion reaching the today's top and I congratulate you for that. On the other hand, coming back to the topic, it would be a real bummer if there are not many answers for a post and it would be pretty discouraging, I think. If I'm correct, as for myself personally, I only have around 1 discussion with 0 response, and that was a topic on Xomba, ha! But I didn't mind that, really because it was my first few moments with mylot. As for discussion with not a lot of responses, I have too, but I don't mind because at least there are people answering and I could get a second view on things or perspectives from there. And more or less, I have gotten the answer that I need after the 2nd page or so. Mostly, anyway. Have a cheery day.

If one person replies to my discussion, with some thought, not just answering to earn more time on myLot, I don't think that it's a waste. I only post a discussion if it's something that I have on my mind. I don't start or reply to discussions that have no meaning to me because I don't post just to earn. It has to mean something.

I'd like it if people responded but it doesn't bother me if they don't. I get to gab about whatever I want and get it off my chest so to speak.

Sometimes yes i feel bad but just a bit, i just think that maybe my discussions is not that interesting. Sometimes i do it, i don't want to interact with those discussions who's not in my interest, i just keep on posting. We cant so anything about it.

Oh yes! I BARELY get any responses and here I thought my discussion was interesting, and then I get discouraged, not much, but a little, but then I move on with the rest of my day, and just keep responding to OTHER people's discussion on here. But yes, I completely understand.
