I try to. I feel like if I don't then it seems like I was just doing it for the points. Plus if I find people like it when I do. I like it when I post a comment and the person replies back. It makes me want to respond to more of theirs. I love to feel like mine have actually been read. I kinda feel a little weird when I see a post with many comments and it seems quite obvious the person is never comming back to look at it. Though honestly, sometimes there really isn't anything to reply to though. I don't to reply with "ok cool" or something. I love to read replies, cuz that means you're paying attention to me:) YAY!!!
So ya, what do you think?

I answer each one because why then start the discussions. I really ask discussions because I want to know what people are thinking. If I'm the only one thinking this way or not. I really get upset if I respond to someones discussion and they don't respond back especially if I'm asking a question within the response. I've noticed lately alot of people don't respond and that tells me they are only doing it for the points. I wait a few days later to see because I know people are busy but after 3 days I know they are not going to respond to my response. So mylotters please start replying to your responses. That is what makes MYLOT so much fun. Thank you!

Soemtimes there is really no reason to respond. Not always because it is a bad comment, but more that some don't really require a resonce. But yes, they are all read:)

I just find it lacks manners when they don't respond back and I make a point to not respond to them in future. One of the first things I do when a get a friends request is open their discussions and check that they respond to each response, and you have to check back beyond page one as well as some just give up steam after the first few. I could I suppose respond to lots of one liner topics where there will be no response back, for the points, but I really don't see the point at all, I want to partake in a discussion.

Yes sometimes there is nothing to say or its a bad comment. If its bad in the sense of being nasty I don't respond. I do however if I have nothing else to say I will say thank you for responding.

I try to respond as well as I can, but some comments just stump me and I don't want to just force back a reply just because. And I feel bad when it's just a short response like the "ok cool". Hahaha.
But yeah, I like it when I get meaningful responses, so it only makes sense to try to do it back, right?
Though there was one time when one of my discussions got more comments than I could keep track of and I noticed that, not only was I starting to repeat myself on similar comments, but there was just way too many. Hahahaha.

Sometimes I get responces that make me wonder if they even read the subject.

Yes I always try to respond to as many response as I can to my discussions. Like you I like to see people responding back. It's like having a conversation on a telophone, one person says something than the other says something back. I also don't respond to those "ok cool" responses. Theres really nothing to say about those. They probably won't be getting any cash for those kind of responses anyway. It shows that they really don't care that much about you discussion.

Yes Me too. I like responding to discussions any the responses to my discussions for the money also. But It also can be very fun at times to have a debate over these things. This way your having fun and making money at the same time. It's like a dream job.

Will be honest and say that, yes, I have responded to posts just for the cash. One of my discusions turned into a for person debate, it was pretty cool. Didn't last long, butr still, pretty cool.

I should. I really should. That's my ultimate goal. To me, there's little point in having a "discussion" if the person starting it can't keep it going by responding / commenting on their responses. It's kind of annoying if you ask me! But here, I'm being a hypocrit- because for the past couple of months, I haven't been good about doing that. . But it's nice that you seek out people who are more actively participating in their discussions - rather than the ones who just let it die down. And you know what? These people that PUT more effort into their discussions are the ones really earning (metaphorically AND literally - lol).

You must admit being in Mylot is a lot of fun besides being able to make some pocket money. Most of us like to read the comments and like to reply to discussions if of course the topic is interesting. Besides being a nosy, we are helping out others too with their problem. Likewise, we too like people to commennt on our topics and be able to help us out as well. To tell you the truth, I learned a fair bit from my fellow Mylotters in many subjects. Thats why I participate to add in my contribution as well.

It normally wont. But what it can do is get people to want to respond to you more. It's some what psycological. Also it makes your post a little more current and that gives you more oppertunities for a responce. So theres some insentive for you.

As much as possible I try to respond to the responses on the discussions that I have started. I do feel obligated to respond considering that I have started the discussion. It would be great to respond to them and of course this will give them an idea that I always value each response. Though I agree that there are times that some responses would be difficult to reply to and we may end up just saying yeah.. or yes or thanks. But well, what is important is that we respond to them and respect what they have to say.

Well I always respond to commenters. First off, someone made a post earlier that if you were to respond to every commenter, your post can be worth over 2 dollars. Plus..I don't start a post unless I really am wondering what other people are thinking, so why would I let them hanging without letting them know that I responded? I think it's just a nice way to show others that you are paying attention to their answers, and not just making posts to make money, although you make more when you respond...which is silly.

Hi babytaffster, what you are doing is absolutely right. I always make it a point to respond to all the responses I get for my discussions. There are some discussions where one of those responses have gone on and on and become an entire discussion in itself. The idea here is to discuss and I am not sure about earnings. I just answer and post when I find something interesting and make sure that I respond to all the responses I get for my discussions ...

Hi babytaffster, I always comment back on responses, it is polite at the very least. But the trick is to start a discussion which you are interested in because if you aren't, and just post a topic for the sake of posting, then your boredom will show through in your responses. I think in all my topics I've only missed answering about two responses, when there was no real response just a couple of words. Some of my topics haven't had many responses but they are actual discussions with comments flying back and forth which to me is the best type, I don't want to see just a list of separate responses. It's great to find other people who do the same thing, then you can become friends and the whole discussion becomes fun.

Yes, but I respond only when I'm free and when I'm able to make sensible comments to the responses given in the discussion topic. We're actually not obligated to respond to each and every comment on our discussion, but I'll make it a point to revisit my topic and see what the comments are.

I always try to respond when other user reply my commment. But sometime cause i give comment in every top post, sometimes i missed some post of other user. But if somebody respond to my discussion, I always answer the respond.
