Do you feel that the topic on the my lot is boring and repeating?

I really want to join in some discussion today until I found the most of them is dull and similar. I registered less than two months ago and I indeed had enjoyed it for about one month untile I found the problem I mentioned above. On the other hand, I found a certain amount of hot discussion is insignificant actually. And no one seems care the topics like the Siemens bribery scandal exposed recently. Do you got this kind of feeling, pal?

I don't think so though. As you know, it is impossible that the discussion won't get repeated. People can't read all the discussions. So, it is reasonable for them to start a similar one. Acutally, they don't know that.

The rules of this forum suggest we search the discussion before staring one, which I think few people really do. you know what, I have been seeing the similar topic like" do you still use the old cellphone" three time whthin two days at cellphone section. It really bothered me a lot and ruined my enthusiasm to this forum.

Yes, it does happen on some days. I feel all the discussions are either repeated or I have answered then at some time. There’s nothing new and inspiring. On those days, my response count is very low.

There are really times that discussions are getting uninteresting especially when the discussions are very shallow topic or that has been posted similar to the previous discussions. But, what I do is respond to it for the sake of the earnings and to add my number of posts regardless of being bored with the topic or discussion... We cannot control people to have similar topics to post because that is what interests them. But, if you want something new, then why not start something unique....Or respond to blogs or those "no responses" discussion. Perhaps, that would add a challenge on your part.

Hi there garfield_zhou! I do agree with you a hundred percent! I have been coming across a lot of discussions that are dull and boring. There are a lot of discussions that are not really worth the time reading and responding to. I think that we can't really control this and yeah, they are increasing day by day. A lot of topics are similar and there is also nothing we can do about this considering our population here on myLot. There is really no way we can control members posting topics that are similar to old ones here.

Yes I find that most topics on mylot are very dull and boring. They are like the same topics over and over again and a lot of the stupid topics get like over fifty responses for some reason. It's hard to try and stay on this website when all of the discussions are basically repeats. It's sad that we all need money this bad isn't it.

I don' think we could make some money at the forum, my goal is practising my English and making some friends.

People have different interests,and mylotters are from all parts of the world,we have different culture background,different interests,and different level of the ability of writing english.For me ,it's a little hard to talk about your topic like "Simens bribery".Simple topics are not insignificant,but easy to be accepted by all persons.Anyway there are so many mylotters,I'm sure you will find topics you like.

In some respects myLot is no different to any other forum with regard to the discussions which are started. There are only so many things that people can talk about or discuss, if we are not to violate the rules and TOS. Part of the reason why some discussions appear to be very similar is simply because there are just so many new discussions being started all the time. Members have no way of keeping up with them so what might be missed by you or I the first 4 times, we might actually see it and respond on the 5th occassion. The other thing to bear in mind is that members are from many different countries and have many different interests. For example I am not at all interested in who is the best Bollywood actor or actress, so I just ignore those ones. At the same time there is a certain element of the members who are interested so that is why those discussions get started. It can be any topic at all the same situation occurs. Also we have to be careful not to cause offence to others and certainly there have been a number of discussions which were not at all friendly in the responses. The ones I am thinking about are politics and religion, both of which seem to bring out the "worst" in some people. All I can suggest is that if there is something particular that you want to discuss, then you start one on that topic. You have mentioned the Siemens bribery scandal in your discussion. Have you started a discussion on that particlar topic yet? If not, why not do so and see what response you get from the members. Just my idle thoughts on the subject. If we are not happy with the discussions available, then we are the ones who need to start some that might appeal to other members. Good luck in the future finding some interesting topics to discuss.

Right at the present time you will notice that there are a lot of discussions which revolve around the Christmas theme. It is that time of the year and much of the world (but not all of it of course) will celebrate Christmas on one way or another. However the difference right now is that these discussions are about presents received, favourite present, least favourite present and on it goes. At this time I have not read any of the discssions as I have not been online for a couple of days but some of them are bound to be funny. Why? Well simply beacuse some people have no idea of what to give to others as a gift, i.e. they do not know the other persons's tastes etc. As a result there are bound to be some rather "unusual" presents. Thanks for giving me best response to this discussion and I hope that we will all find some very interesting discussions that we can respond to today and in the future.
