Why does no one reply to older topics?

Lol I'm new to myLot as I'm sure you have seen, and I don't know how to look at other people's profiles; let alone the discussions there. Perhaps you could fill me in? And your welcome=).

Nice response, and your right, they might not be there to discuss it further. But I would think someone who just posted yesterday would still be checking on it, though most topics only seem to last an hour or 2. I'm glad it's different for you, perhaps it depends on how popular the topic is.

I think you should also take into account that some people may only seem to have an hour or so to spare each day, or possibly can't even get on until weekends! Thus some discussions may not get responded to for quite some days. Heck, i've had people come back weeks later to respond to a discussion I made or respond to a comment I left on a discussion! Some other people also just make discussions and respond to other's discussions but never back at their own. I'm not sure why some people do this but they do. I guess they don't get the point of what it means to "discuss" a topic. Some people just don't have anything to say in response to the responses they get. I almost always respond to my discussions but someone posts a one-liner or just a paragraph worth of stuff you can't quite respond to and thus I end up not responding. I only respond when I feel I have something to say! The popularity of the topic does help. Also networking with people in Mylot that have similar interests to you will help keep your discussions alive longer as well.
