Hi,
Today, i found that two previous discussions reactivated again. I reviewed the discussions and found that it was responded by the mylotter whose responses were chosed as best response (BR) by me. Before the time, i never respond back for thanks to who choose my response as BR. But now, i respond back. How bout you? look forward to sharing!
Happy mylotting!

I am not sure if there were new Br in the discussions I've joined but before when I was still so active here I am always responding because I want to appreciate that they took the time to go back in their discussion, then read my response and rate or choose my response as the best. I am glad you did. It's not too late as long as you have good intentions. Take care and happy every day!

Hi akuler,
after reviewing the FAQ, i found that i had just made a mistake on the suggestive time to give BR. Yes, you are right. It is suggestive to give a BR from all the responses after the discussion was raise at least one week not one month.
Thanks for your correction!
Happy mylotting!

Hi,
It is suggestive to rate a response as BR after a month. So i have to wait sometime to choose the BR in my discussion. I think we should choose BR in all responses on our discussions. If we all do that, we can be encouraged with each other to respond more serious. And then positive snowball rolls up.
Happy mylotting!

Hi sutent, I always respond as a sign of appreciation as they make me smile when I receive them. Also by adding a comment it moves the discussion forward so more people may see it and join in. It doesn't matter if the discussion is older, the new comment may inject new life into it, especially for a discussion which maybe didn't have many responses in the first place.

Hi thea,
You are correct. Best responses make us smile, so if we appreciate them for awarding us we make them smile. You are correct. Adding more comments make the discussion lively and last for a long time.
I would like to make more friends. Hope you too join my list.
Have a nice day.

Hi,
Before that i am not aware of it. But now, i would resond back defenitely.
Yes, the discussion can be revive, if we comment on it no matter how old it is. We should be it a new life, as maybe it was raise in a wrong time although it is very attractive.
Happy mylotting!

Well I will rate as best BR if I get good response from anyone. I will straight away rate them if they give me good view or answer. I generally do not respond if anyone choose my respond as best.

Well thanking each and every person who rates my discussion as best is very tough job to do. I work on my Lot for only few hours and have to answer many discussions and if I keep on thanking everyone, it will take lot of my time. So, it is not possible for me say thanks to each and ever person. Nice to know that you does it.. great and all the best to you.. :)

Hi sutent,
I had receive a few best response and most of the time I will send a thank you post for that. I think I skip one or two because the OP didn't give a comment on all the responses he/she received.
Giving a best response also a good practice if you want to revive you old discussion. Once someone give a response/comment to your discussion, your discussion will go on top of your frineds "friends started" tab and "my interests" tab. And your friends might give a response to it if they miss it before. Before this I had one discussion with only received one response. After I give a best response and the that guy posted a thank you post, my discussion received 5 additional responses. That is a good thing.

Hi akuler,
Yes, you are right. Giving BR can revive the old discussion, when the BR winner respond back just like you. Your example is very helpful for me. Maybe i will make use of it in some of my discussions receiving only one response, although i consider it very attractive.
By the way, the origin of this discussion was from you. You revived my old discussion.
Happy mylotting!

You can also revive your discussion even after given the BR previously by add some comment somewhere. I do it before and my discussion alive again. Every time we add something to our discussion, it will go top again. But the best way is by giving a BR if you didn't give it yet.
I try to told you about this before but i am afraid you will misinterpret it.

Hi akuler,
I am very appreciated with your helpful suggestion. Give something on our old discussion can revive it again. It is very helpful, especially we feel that some of our discussion were neglect due to raising in a wrong time.
By the way, i remember that you had told it before. But i forgot it. Sorry for it.
Happy mylotting!

I always respond back to the starter of the discussion and say thank you as much as possible. It what we called courtesy. Even if I don't know him/her its still nice to say thank you for selecting my response as the best response in that certain discussion.

I do have a few responses as BR by members of this website. when i got the notice i was surprised because i was not very confident with my work here.
I was really pleased to know it and really felt appreciated the members. However i did not say thanks. after i read your topic and i realised i made mistakes about it. thanks for your reminding and i'm sure i will do my best to thank the members who give me the BR reward, if i still can get one.
happy mylotting.

Hi,
Yes, you are right. I also not very confident that my response can be chosed as BR, as i am not good at written english. But i respond very serious every time and express my personal opinion on the discussions. before that, i am not aware of saying thanks back. But now i keep doing that.
Happy mylotting!

Hi Sutent,
Aside from the earnings, a BR is probably one of the sweetest rewards a myLot member can get. Personally, I respond to discussions simply because they appeal to me, or I have something to share about the topic, or I just want to leave a post. Getting a BR is always a welcome surprise. It makes me happy knowing that my response was chosen best from among all the responses. In return, I never forget to thank the member who gave it to me, it's my way of showing my appreciation.

I too respond. It is very flattering to receive such comment. It is all the more nice, if it is not a friend who does it. :-) I mean a friend is a friend. So he or she will be biased may be. But if other people read through the comment, and give it the best reponse, or even just appreciate it, it feels great. I do try to read other's opinions, and replies by the person who starts the discussions. I found some very sweet responses. I am glad I have also been at the receiving end of such courtesies. :-)

Hi sutent,
You are correct. By commenting your discussion during the time where more myLotters are active will make you receive more responses as your discussion came back to the recent tab again.
Also, it is nice to acknowledge some one who gives us the best responses. I am new to myLot. But if i get any Best response reward, i will always say thank you to them and also i will send them friend request to them if they are not my friend before.
I love to make friends.
Have a great day.

Firstly, thanks for your remaiding about reactivating discussion. I aready know that.
Yes, you are right. We should appreciate the mylotter who chose your response as BR. I will respond back and communicate with him in other discussions as much as i can.
Happy mylotting!

I sure would respond with a thanks, especially since they were generous enough to choose my response as the best response, i'd be happy.

Its always nice to receive a response even if its not marked as the BR. I always try to respond to everyone who comments on my topics; sometimes its a bit difficult when you have many, but I do it as long as the topic is current.
