Does it bother you when you post a discussion and nobody ever responds to it?
It bothers me a little, especially when I am checking through my unresolved discussions to give best responses and see those discussions I started months ago and no one ever responded!
I think I have 3-4 of them. How about you?

So far, I have not had a discussion with zero responses. If that were to happen, I'd wonder why. But I do have a lot of discussions with very few responses, 5 or less. There is one thing I noticed and made sure I did not do this. The categories you post your discussion to matters a lot. For example, if you have a discussion on a particular website, check how many people who had that same interest. There was once I checked and I was the only one. So I decided to post it in a different, more general category. I have also seen some people post their discussion in categories which has very few people and illicited zero responses as well. The number of people having the same interest matters as well. The more the merrier and the higher the chances of your discussions getting read and responded. All the best!

It is quite disappointing but I guess it's because people on here are just really busy!And personally I haven't seen any of your discussions, I've got a few discussions with 1 or 2 responses and I really don't care!I think people always choose Today's top or new or topics they're interested in and ignore the rest! I tend to ignore discussions that have sufficient responses!

I'm the same way I guess -- I'd rather respond to a discussion with no responses or only a few because with the ones that have dozens of responses, what I want to reply has most likely already been said!
I know they are supposed to earn more with the more responses, but why keep repeating the same answer to discussions?

yeah, either someone has said what you wanted to say or you're like me and you can't be bothered to go through every page of their responses, knowing well that you're going through a drought! hahaha. lol. Mylot is a small community.

If these discussions were started months ago then it would be difficult for it to have responses. It really fells bad if no one responds to one of my discussions. When this happens, I try to start a more interesting topic in which most of the myLot users can relate. It will surely gets loads of responses.

No, it doesn't bother me. It show me that my discussion is contaion unattractive topic. So I will try to think again another topic to become my new discussion. Until now I have one discussion that haven't been response by anyone.
Keep post
happy myLotting...

Well I actually haven't had any that had NO responses. but I had some that only had a few and I really thought they would have garnered a few more than that- and that was a bit disappointing. So yea I understand where you are coming from.

I have got literally pages and pages of unanswered discussions that no one has responded to, they sit there unwanted, useless and I can't award best response until someone has found them, they are years old now! It doesn't bother me, only that they sit there doing nothing! If no one responds then it's their prerogative, but thankfully I don't get any empty discussions now which is fortunate, but even if I didn't and some topics unless you know anything about them you can't respond to.

I think is disappointing really. I try not to take it personally because I guess thta thats just the way it goes on here sometime. I think it as alot to do with who sees your posts when you first do them. Obviously there are people on here from lots of different time zones and you may write something which may interest certain people but they may asleep or something.
