mylot friends

I am not sure if you are really doing anything wrong or not. I know that I am in the same boat sometimes where I think it's a great discussion and it really ends up just being a bombed out post. Oh well, sometimes that happens, I would try to grab the attention of more by responding to them more. I know I am going to start responding to one of my responders discussions. Not only a way to earn extra money but also to get the popularity that some of the more experienced members here have.

Hey, i once had the same perplex as you, but now i don't bother to care about it. If it's interested and my friends have time, they will respond. No response doesn't mean that they don't care about you, maybe they just don't know what to say, maybe they're too busy, maybe they're not in a good mood, or maybe they just missed the discussion. Don't let others' behavior affect your mood too much, especially it's just a discussion, there might be misunderstanding. If you really care, ask your friend directly. Good luck

I have alot of friends at Mylot. Alot of them are no longer active here. I hardly ever start a discussion anymore though. I am still backed up with alot of my friends discussions from back in April or May. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I am just backed up.

Goodness littleowl, nope you in no way have boring discussions..in fact I went to your profile just now and found an old discussion of yours that I just HAD to answer...as it was right up my alley. I hope to go back and respond to some of your others as soon as I can Actually nowadays, in some ways, I'm only active here to reply to my own discussions..and yikes I'm having a hard time catching up, but I do want to make some comment back to let the responders know I read their responses. So much of my time now is spent writing articles at associated content, and now I've found another place to write reviews...yikes between just last night and today I wrote a total of eleven reviews so far..LOL. I've had my share of discussions that must have fell like a lead balloon..I have two that had NO responses. And tried to figure out what was wrong with them..oh, well

I have several friends,and I know what you mean there has been times where I have created a discussion and I got very few or no responses on it,even though I always try to respond to my friends discussions,but I do not blame my friends because I know they are busy,and some are not always on like me and my fiance are,and they probably have a lot of friends that they try to respond to,and sometimes they do not get to my discussions.

Hi, I started the similar discussion a few days ago.I think you'd better find some interesting stuff for it,don't worry,you known,everyone here have a lot of things to do,there will be a lot of dicussions that be started everyday,if it is in the front,we can read it,we always read the discussions from front to the back!!Thanks!

Hi Littleowl! Perhaps your friens were busy over the festive period? I am noticing that this post is over four months old so that this reason is certainly not the case. i hop that your friends are responding to more of your discussions now. c) ronaldinu 2009 - the more people I meet-the more I love my dog

I have a truckload of friends that I approved when I first came onto MyLot and many of them have never replied to any of my discussions. I approved many of them without much thought, just because they requested. Lately I have started looking into their profiles to see what kinds of discussions they start before approving them. Mostly I stay on one or two categories with my posts, as some categories are more popular than others. Politics is a hot topic right now and I post there quite a bit. People are also interested in religion and life quite a bit. Mostly if the topics are posted in popular categories they will get replies.

That is one of the reasons that I too don't like to start to many of my own discussion because I always think to myself that no-one would be interested, so I just prefer to reply to other people discussions and yes sometimes it does take awhile to go through all the emails that you get from MyLot with new discussions.

I rarely start discussions because only a handful of kind people bother commenting on them. I'm assuming most of the people on my friends list have turned off my notification - or, as you say, my discussions have been too boring. Personally, I don't answer discussions which talk about making money online or money-making sites - and I don't often get into religion or American politics (which I know nothing about), either. I don't think you're going wrong at all! Maybe it also helps to tag the discussions in a way where more people see it ... but I'm not sure. Good luck!

I don't think there is any magic formula for discussions. Some I thought would get lots of comments got few. Some I thought would get few, got lots. It's strange

Hi littleowl, You and me are the same here, yes I find that as well and yet there are some Mylotters whose discussions response has reach over a hundred, crazy uh,? but I should't worry about that but have to keep posting and have fun. Lots of Love and Bright Blessing. Tamara

Hi littleowl! I wish I could help you on this but I too don't get that many responses and I do have alot of friends and respond to all of their discussions and not all of them respond to mine. I just don't really start many because I rather respond too. I don't know why I don't get alot of response either. I think that you start good discussion. I always respond to them. I can never think up topics so I just keep responding instead. No need to try to rack my brain looking for topics unless I think of one suddenly I will continue what I'm doing and enjoying my time mylotting.

Oh, littleowl, I am so boring when it comes to writing, and ideas, I just don't start too many discussions. I prefer to start trouble on someone else's discussions*L* Sometimes, I don't respond to my friends' discussions because I don't feel I have anything to say, or I don't know how to respond to them. I always read them, I just don't always respond. I don't think you are going wrong anywhere, it is just the way it is sometimes. *S*

I wish I could be of more assistance on this one...but I have no idea why other people do what they do...and why. In my case I am not Mylotting much these days and when I am here and post a discussion my intent is always a response for every response on my site first. With the lengthy threads that perspectives discussions often involve that is often all I have time for. So in my case I apologize for not coming around to your site more often my friend...but it is not a lack of interest in what you are posting...but a lack of time. Also I think that people get to be known for what they like to talk about and often have a following. I am not sure if the "flavor" of a topic could be it or not. Hope that explains things from my perspective anyway. I notice this was posted three months ago...I hope things have improved for you here and elsewhere. You offer a lot to any site you are on so it would be nice for you to feel that. Hugs to you friend.

hi littleowl dont know if you are on myfriends list or not but I find your discussions are always interestign so check them out. I dont think you are doing anything wrong as I like them, and I think others will also. I think what makes a discussion 'interesting is having a common bond with us, something that anyone might be interestered in like our mates, our kids, our families, work problems, things we all have in common.

I honestly can't tell you, littleowl. I know that THIS is an interesting topic, though. Personally, I haven't had the time to respond to every discussion started by my friends for pretty much the entire summer. I try very hard to respond to at least one discussion from each friend that day but, even then, some days it seems that EVERYONE has started a discussion! As you can see, I'm just getting to this one a day late! I've had a bit more time to spend in myLot today so I'm taking advantage of it by responding to as many posts as I can. Maybe that's the problem. Even though summer has officially ended, many people still have a lot of catching up to do FROM the summer. I sure do! I've spent the last two months taking care of my hubby who ended up having surgery 2 weeks ago. I have SO much to catch up on. Hopefully, I'll be getting back to normal soon. I always respond to other discussions way more than I post new discussions. I only post new ones when I have something that I'm pretty sure a lot of people will want to respond to. Even then, sometimes I don't get many responses... a few times I've had no responses at all. I don't let it get to me, though. I just keep on keeping on. I hope it gets better for you soon! Take care. Smile!

Hey my friend littleowl, don't let things like that pull you down. Your friends are still here. Some of us are just sometimes busy that is why we fail to respond to discussions of our friends. It is also a fact that newer discussion are shown on the first pages of the "friend started" view of mylot so maybe your discussions got bumped to the 3rd or 4th page. And if this happens and your friends are lazy to check the other pages (like me most of the time) I do have some discussions with very little response and sometimes no response at all because maybe when I started it my friends are off-line. It is hard to think of a general discussion which interests most members. I sometimes try not to post discussions that limits the audience like discussions related to where I live because our friends from other parts of the world may not be able to relate. Keep on Posting Cheers

I find that aswell.....i try to respond to at least 1 or 2 of my friends discussions ( I kind of feel guilty if i dont) but i have noticed that quite a lot dont respond to mine, you get the few regulars who always respond so i make their discussions my priority when I do start going through the e-mails!!! hugs jessica

I've only started a couple of discussions and got little response, so I don't think I could be much help to you. I'm in the same boat.
