Well, many times you will find it could be #1... the time of day you started your New discussion, #2... How many friends you have receiving your New discussions to give them a chance to want to respond back or not, #3... Did you start your discussion in such a way to attract others to post back as well?
I know even in the almost 2 yrs. I have been a member here, I still have discussions that only have like 2-3 posts back to them while also having many with 30 or more as well. You never know which discussions will attract who, so I just continue to post when I can, and start New discussions when I can and hope for the best. That is all you can ever ask for.

I think also the actual place you post your discussion also helps as well, I've found that posting in MyLot increases my chances of anyone actually reading it, the last one I got on this topic was 19, for almost every other topic I get around 5.
62 is the maximum I've had, 1 the minimum, the vast majority well below 10.

There does not seem to be any firm criteria for actually getting a response from mylotters. You can post a great discussion and not get a single response. Then other people seem to just pop on to say hello, how are you blah, blah, blah, and get bucket loads of responses..........I think it means that people want to discuss themselves and not share opinions on issues that maybe or may not be important.??

So far, I've always had at least one response for any discussions that I've started, but the vast majority has had around 5 or 6 responses, even though I have a number of good friends here, very few of them actually read the discussions. This doesn't bother me too much, although I now tend to reply rather than start new ones.
I think that the discussions I've started are reasonable ones, but its plain that I'm the only one who thinks that.

I don't think it's ever happened to me that I didn't get a single response, but if I did, I don't think it would really bother me.
One way to make sure it doesn't happen to you is to add a LOT more friends. If people don't see your discussion, obviously they can't respond.
I cover this theory in depth on my profile.

I used to feel like that but I didn't let it get me down. Sometimes you may have a good discussion but at the wrong time of day. Sometimes the people who are on during the day may like to discuss different things from those who are on at night. Just keep trying. That's what I did and you'll get some responses.
