It does make me feel very content that I have started a discussion that has proved very popular with my friends and other Mylot members! Sometimes it can be overwhelming because I like to respond to every response but it is so time consuming! I do try my best to respond even if it's days later. 50 responses is a great result. It also shows your discussion is popular.

It's always a pleasure to respond on discussions by those friends who we have come to know better during our time here. Knowing that they will always get back and comment to us makes it absolutely worthwhile responding to them when their discussion appears. I sometimes have to pass though because I can't relate - but many of my friends are aware of that too and that's why they are friends
Hugs wolfie! xxx

Congratulations for receiving 50 responses, my friend. And I hope there are more to come in future. As for me, I am happy should I get lots of responses. But I am happy with less responses as well. As long as I get the answer, advice or thought more or less, I don't really mind the amount. My best, if I'm not mistaken was around 94 responses, I think and it was a topic on marriage. I love relationship topics, and social issues.

Very happy and overwhelmed, no doubt. It’s a huge responsibility coz I would have to respond to each and everyone of them. So its time consuming and I miss out on many new discussions, but it feels great to know that so many people actually want to discuss with me.

hmmmmm....so celebrating success...feeling like King of mylot
ha ha ha...i know ashish it feels very good when people respond to your discussions...but u have to maintain this spirit, once you start responding only, people forget you and dont notice your discussions if you write after many days, same thing has happened with me, when we become inactive for some days, and restart again...u lose most of your friends who are in touch and respond to all discussions of yours....then you have to make efforts again to get the same number of responses again..keep it up...i am happy for u

I am always happy when I receive lots of responses on my dicussions. It means that I found a topic that was interesting for others and they were able to join in and earn and then they give me the chance to interact with them.
Then by commenting I get to know them better and earn too. Many of them come back and respond to my comments and that is even more interesting.
I try not to get behind when I receive lots of responses but that is not always possible if I'm busy offline too - late is always better than never though
Well done to you on getting so many responses too!

I remember the feeling when I was 'young' her too babshish
I am happy to respond whenever I see something that I can relate too and I honestly forget that I have a 'heavy' number now. I don't often notice the number of the poster when I am responding if the topic is interesing. After all it's not the packet that counts but what's inside it
Have fun and happy Lotting!

Of course I will be very happy to receive such huge number of responses. It only means that there are many members who were able to relate to it and that is really something. That is also what I want. As much as possible, I want my topics to be easy to relate to.
So far, I have one topic with almost 100 responses. And I am very happy with it. I also have another one with around 70 responses as well.

Having a lot of responses give us a way to communicate with other members. In addition to that, we learn from their posts about the topic we are interested in. Sometimes, I am able to pick-up ideas from them. There are also cases that I also stop and reflect with the response I have received.

Well, I have started many New discussions in the time I have been here. I have a lot of discussions with a lot of responses back on them, and then I have some with only a Few as well. I think it really often depends on who is active in here when as well as what you're talking about as well as how many Friends respond back to each discussion that challenges this as well.
But personally when I have a discussion that I receive a lot of responses back on, especially within the first day is quite interesting for sure. It helps to give me more feedback on what I am wanting to talk about, plus help keep me encouraged that people are interested in that topic as well. And even when it does not happen it just shows me other things I might want to know as well.

Thanks for your valuable view, you must be having so many discussions which would have lots of responses, it was my first discussion which received such response so was really excited. Agree with you that when we get good number of responses in a single day helps us in knowing what we are looking for immediately. Thanks for your view once again. Happy myloting.

It gives a kind of satisfaction. You feel that you have done something that you can be proud of. But, in real fact, most of the time people respond to simple questions like "Do you like coffee or tea?", "Which is the most spoken language?", etc. They are looking for easy discussions rather than interesting discussions I believe.
50 responses in two days is good. Keep up your good work! Thanks.

Yes indeed it give satisfaction. People here are intrested in different types of discussions and they respond accordingly, I think new commers mostly respond to such discussions, once you are bit old here, then one will respond to discussions with good substance only. ANyways haapy myloting.

I'm sure everyone will be very happy if that ever happens. To me, such a thing did happen yesterday. I started a discussion called "Is it a waste of time here" to which many mylotters responded. Within two days, the amount of responses has reached a huge number. You can't believe it. My discussion gets as many as 75 responses and the number is still growing. I'm too exited. I never thought such a thing could happen to me. This experience somewhat helps me to grasp some skills of starting quality discussions.
Anyway, good luck to both of us!

I have started a few discussions, and all of them but one, got very few responses. One of my discussions got 20 responses, and I sure didn't expect that many responses at all. I guess it was interesting enough to respond to. It sure did make me feel happy though that other users thought enough of my discussion to respond to it. And I commented back too. I feel that if they are going to respond, that I should at least take the time to comment back. It wouldn't have bothered me in the least if I had received more responses than I did. I would still comment back to them. I also will go through my responses and pick best response, which isn't easy to do when all the responses are worthy of the best response. Well, good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Yes agree with your view, it is really difficult to pick one best responses from the number of responses, but still it gives us a great feeling when we get big number of responses. I always take time to comment on the responses I get and make sure to rate them. Keep on myloting.

Good to hear about those 50 responses brother.
It does feel exhilarating when you receive a lot of responses and that too from very experienced members.
I do take time to reply sincerely to all of the responses I receive.

Well recently I made a discussion that became very popular and was very happy! It was my first discussion to receive 15 replies! I got a nice little reward for it, I think or maybe I just worked hard posting yesterday. I wish to receive more than 15 but I guess I should go liven it up again. Nice work and good luck on your earnings.
