Have you ever been suprised about lack of response to your discussion?

I used to be surprised about the lack of enthusiasm for my discussion but not as of lately .This is due to that fact that I have adopted a new philosophy which makes me extremely appreciative if I get any responses because I always start off beleieving that I wont get any responses. In addition I have made friend with some really dedicated people who make it a pount of their duty to respond to all my discussions ,so I dont have that problem anymore.In the past though I was always in a quandary as to what makes a discussion tick especially when I wrote what I thought was a good discussion but only got a few discussions and then see discussions that were not as good getting far more responses

you have no trouble now, it seems to be a attractive topic. better than "hat" .congratulations! i promise i have never seen your "hat" question,if that i would respond.lol.

In my case, most of my posts are about me and my personal life. I don't expect most people to be interested in them. Most of my threads get only a small number of posts for that reason. I do notice that there are some people that always get a high response rate. They are very popular on Mylot it seems. They could type about anything and still get lots of responses. I wonder what their secret is.

I don't have to have a deep position on a thing in order to make a response. I have started quite a few discussions and a few of them never got any response at all.This does not bother me because I know it happens. Cheers!!

it is crazy how many discussions are started and how many actually get responses. i ahvea few myself that have no responses. that is why i always try to go the the no responses tab and answer a few of those daily ...atleast i knwo someone will ahve replied because i feel like everyone desrves an answer or someone to listen to them

yeah i know what you mean, its like you look through your discussions to see if theres anyone commented on them, and then you get to one and its like 'hang on a minuite, how come noone has responded, i thought it was an interesting topic' lol but it rarely happens because most of my discussions have got alot of answers which im pleased to see :) and pleased to see that people are liking my discussions and things.

I am never surprised at the lack of responses to my discussions.In my experience I have come to know that the Mylotters can be divided into several categories with varied interests andtastes.They tend to respond readily to certain subjects to their likings only.Getting more responses is the most easiest thing here.A simple personal question about their likings and disliking will definitely result in a deluge of responses.The big question is what kind of discussion you would like to raise here. "Spread a smile"

Yes I have and it surprises me too! I always take my time to think first before I create and post a discussion only to find out that no one is interested in it! I used to feel sad whenever that happens when in fact, when I see others discussion who have a lot of responses, does are the discussions that I can't seem to think of a response to it! I hope I will get their interest too.

Many times I have had this happen, I don't really think that your discussion aren't interesting it mostly has to do with friends, most of the users answer from their email account/notifications, a few of us surf the site for interesting discussions to relate too. By it being a large population of users, your discussion is buried in all the posting of new discussions. This is just my opinion.

I think we all have a few discussions with absolutely no responses.The topic may be relevant, but still no one will be interested. I also feel it is because there are too many members and too many discussions, so many a times we skip over some really good discussions..I make it a point now to go to the no responses section and answer at least a couple of discussions each day..

I never worry if I get no responses to a discussion. Sometimes a discussion might not appeal to everyone. So I would not worry about it. Also it depends how many people are on myLot at the time the discussion is posted.

Yes, I have posted discussions that I thought people would respond to and barely anyone did. I did notice that a lot of thought type discussions do not get much response. Though it seems like they would since you can make more will longer more well thought out answers. I don't know if some of the discussions just get missed. Like there is so many that people who would respond just never see them.. Maybe that is it?! I to have skipped discussion because I can't figure out what some are trying to say.

Sometimes I think that the discussions get lost in the shuffle. However it does seem like people more like to respond to more easy discussions as oppose thought provoking responses. But sometimes you don't really know what people will respond to, so sometimes I think it's a hit and miss. I've posted two topics that I think are fairly interesting and I only gotten on response LOL and the topic I though I was going to get less response I got a good few who respond LOL so you never really know.

Yes! I just keep posting subjects. I figure I will start getting responses eventually I will get responses. I figure it just takes time. Anyway I have found some discussions to be very interesting just the same. I partake and I post a few here and there then wait to see what happens!

i have that problem too. i have started easy discussions that would be easy money makers and i get one or two responses. because of this, now i go to no responses and that is where i answer. i ask things like where are you from, or how many kids do you have. it is easy to answer. i do not understand why no one answers back. i just thought it was an easy topic that would generate easy money for all of us. i guess some people like the harder topics.

I've had that happen to me lots of times. I don't start discussions very often but when I do I usually expect a few people to answer. It is crazy to figure out what people will respond to. My friend barely gets on here. She started a discussion about letting your animals sleep in your bed and she ended up with like 100 responses! Oh well.
