Hahahahahahaha, you have got company here. You know what vimaal, I think we don't have enough friends. Also our discussions are of very common and bland nature. No spice,no MASALA, and no scandalous ingredient. What I feel is most of the times we as members of Mylot want to an swer simple questions with very simple answers. Atleast many a times I want to answer to discussions where the response is simple and straightforward.
The discussions should be original,related to everyone's lives and interesting. I fail in all these very often but I don't understand why you don't get enough responses. Anyway wish you good luck.
I got an idea! I'll right now start a few discussions of simple or spicy nature.Lets see what happens.lol Hahahahahahaah. Vimaal you do the same. It will be interesting to find out. If we get response then it means we are right, and if we still don't get response then it would mean that either we are verrrryyy unpopular or boring or invisible. Lets try out. Shall we? Hahahahahahahahaha

I feel happy and lucky after the first person responds to one of my discussions. I have a number of discussions that haven't had any responses and I have found that disappointing. They might not appeal to any of the members of My Lot. When I am successful and do get a lot of responses they tend to be posted under a popular heading like 'people'. If I had put that discussion under 'abortion' I am sure less people would have seen my discussion. If people don't notice my discussion nobody will respond. I wish I could delete all the no responses discussions that I have written say 1 month after I posted it.

Hi vimaal,
I know it is very frustrating and it even hurts some for you not to get a response. Think about the reasons you might not be getting any responses. First of all content is very important. We mylotters look for interesting posts that we can join in on and have a great conversation. I noticed on your profile page that you mostly just ask a question. Try going to other interests. Try starting a discussion about things that mean something to you. Just throwing out a question that maybe doesn't mean much to anyone is not the way to get people to take time out to answer.
Or just try resonding to others posts for a while and see what others write about. You get paid just as much for resonding to others post. Good luck and give yourself a break. Remember, not getting a response is not mean to be a personal attack. Just enjoy.

If I didn't get any responses, I will feel sad.... and I will think "what is the use of starting a discussion, I am not getting any responses from my friends". See, a month before I started a discussion..... I didn't get any responses....... so, I decided to stop starting discussions for a month.... and yesterday, I started a discussion...... I feel little bit happy for I got 4 responses...... atlast I got some recognition from my friends......

I feel glad to receive a comment or two but more depressed if there are no single reply at all. it happens all the time. so i just rest for some time, i know it's a matter of how to attract people with the titles and that's what i'm trying to learn. anyway, i just keep on trying and trying ... have a nice day too --- gee you got a lot of response here LOL

This very often happens to those who start a lot of one line discussions. I have heard from many mylotters that they do not keep the notifications on for those who start just one line discussions or too many discussions at a time. Responses are mostly from friends who have the notifications on. The rest of responses come from those who regularly check their home page for discussions of their interest. Finally I think we have to see on what topics we get maximum responses and try to start maximum discussions on those topics only.

I have already experienced that, started some discussions and never got any response.lol.. though the topics are well written and substantial in form, I think it just didn't match the interests of other MyLot users.
I must say some do enjoy answering questions that are just too easy and requires not much thinking.. but still there are those few who are indeed in the mood to make long responses for one good topic..
I do believe that if ever you get few or no responses at all, you shouldn't stop there.. create more topics that you are interested in, be active as possible in commenting and responding to other member's topics so they could also get the chance to check out your own and respond as well,, It has been a habit of mine to check out the discussions of those who are commenting or responding to my own topics aside from my friends.. In this way, everybody get the chance to be recognized...
Try to do the same, it may work out for you,.
Happy mylotting!!

Hi there! I had been a member here in mylot for a month now and furtunately all the discussions that I started got it's responses and I am very happy for that. But if that happens, definitely I will fell sad. The reason of not recieving any responses from your discussion I think is that it lacks something. I suggest that the next time you post new discussion, try to make it more interesting so that you can have numbers of responses.Happy posting!

Generally I think that people respond to the discussions that most interest them and as most of us have limited time, we pick and choose. There are literally hundreds of discussions started by the hour and so it can be that a really good discussion gets buried very quickly.
Personally I do not start discussions these days as I cannot be sure when I am able to get online, due to my work committments. However when I do get here to myLot I have a bit of a pattern to get some responses made before I have to go offline again. I believe that most people have some sort of pattern/order in which they tackle discussions on myLot.
First I check out the discussions my friends started and respond to any that appeal to me; then I go to "my interests" and do the same and if I still have some time available from there I simply choose another area. When I run out of time or maybe discussions that interest me I leave myLot for the day. I suspect that many people do a similar sort of thing. For that reason, a good discussion can be so quickly end up at the back of the queue and missed entirely.
Good luck with al of future discussions you start. I hope you are able to start only those ones which will attract a number of good quality responses to keep them always coming back to the top of the pile.

The first time I created a discussion, it takes a while for mylotters to check out my discussion since I am relatively new. I felt bad but not so bad… since I knew that they will start seeing my post and discussions once I participate more in here. Now, whenever I put some discussions, people would really put some comments on it… bad or good… That is okay… since it is their opinion. LOlz… Cheers!

hi
i got this one also. no one ever commented on my discussion. i felt sad because it only means that my topic is not interested :( but after a few days i feel ok. its normal because it may vary on the time that i posted it sometimes it happens when most of the posters are not online. anyhow i am still thinking of better topics to start with.
thanks
