what do you think of all the copycat discussions on mylot..get your own idea;)!

You are so right, it makes it hard to find good or interesting questions because so many are the same ones over and over and over again.Take care.

yes i hate when i se other starts topic that i start or that my friends starts... is kind of ...what word shoul i use.. frustrating.. they can't get their own ideas? why should we copy someone.. cause in anycase a discussion that is similar to others won't have the same succes as the first one.. and it's kind of ..limitating my imagination when i have to say the same things over and over again... well i'm not forced.. to some i don't answer.. but... still it's getting annoing to see the same things all day long... and with that kind of atitude.. the good topics..end to be unknown...

I admit to being guilty of this! Well, it wasn't that I had copied anything, I already had the idea and I saw that other people had asked similar questions so I did try to alter my own discussion so it wasn't exactly the same! But I know what you mean, I have gone through so many questions about the same things, there are loads of questions about abortion and, it seems, even more about "where do you live" which, to me, isn't really a worthwhile discussion on it's own.

Im a big fan of your discussions! You have a great outlook on topics. This on though I have to admitt I have copycated, but not on purpose!! I will just get an idea which I think is good, post it, and then there has been a couple of times that there was already a discussion going just like mine.

I think some people don't search or they want to put a different spin on the question. I don't know. I had someone blow up at me b/c I asked a question that apparently had been asked countless times. Well, the thing is, people still respond. You're not going to have the same person respond to everyone of those discussions that have the same subject matter.

Kinda ironic that there was a post just like this the other day! LOL

I start a topic if it is something that i have read about in the papers or seen on the news but mainly it they are about things that have happened to me or a family member like Barking dogs,(my neighbours} tradesmen, trusting,(my daughter-in-law had money stolen last week)home insurance (in local papers)depression (which i suffer)but i have noticed their are lots of the same silly topics that really don't have much to give a reasonable response to .If we all stuck to topics of things relevant to ourselves we would have more interesting topics and not so much rubbish.I hate all the copying and irrelevant stuff,junk it is very frustrating

Personally, I wouldn't know about that because I don't look at other people's discussions. All my discussions are from u and you send alot so, the time I do have to discuss I try answsering your questions and that's it. Do you think it's possible that alot of people could be thinking the same thing? Anyway my computer has been down the last day or so so I have a lot to respond to.

I try not to do a copycat discussion. But I know on occassion it may happen. I like to see the variety of discussion not just the same ole same ole.

I have been looking at all the copy cat discussions myself. That is one reason I don't post more discussions, if I decide on a subject, then I go look and see quite a few of the same thing.

Some people are only here for the money and they think that if they see a discussion with many responses, it would be easy for them to get the same attention if they just copy/paste. I agree with you, people need to be more original. I don't think this forum would be much fun if the only question anyone asked on here was "how old are you"?

Some I think is newbies not realising it has already been posted.....other times sometimes the topic has more then one answer and I do not mind answerings them more then once. - DNatureofDTrain

I try to check if someone has already posted about a topic. But it can be quite tasking. I know it's my own so I don't feel guilty of copycatting. People can posts about the same topic in different ways, no crime in that.
