Are you giving chances to Older discussions? Might as well.....

Hi Zandi! That's a great gesture that your friend has undertaken. He could have just deleted all the notifiers in his mail and just started from the new discussions and I admire him for not doing that. This way he will not lose out on the part of you that he missed while he was away and at the same time all those discussions will get a new lease of life! I have new responses on my old discussions very often. Possibly because I don't start many and users go lookig for something of mine to respond on and they revive them. A lot of my topics are myLot related and will never be out of date but even the others receive new responses and I am thrilled when they do. I do the same too. When I add a new friend and look for one of their discussions then I skip back a few pages and find an older one with a topic that is still actual and land there. I have some friends who regularly fish out the older stuff too (one of them is up the top there ) and it was thanks to them that some of my older discussions with very few responses then received a couple of new pages. After all, when they were posted a huge chunk of the Lotters that are here now were not around so for them the topics are new We could all find some real treasures in our friends' profiles if we just hunted for a little bit... who knows

[b]Okay--I'm back, & here is what I meant to post to your discussion! And again, my sincerest apologies for the goof-up! I do answer old posts, as I may find new insights or info, or I may be able to solve some dilemma for the poster, even yet. Who knows? This of course doesn't apply to old news debates, which I'm sure no-one's interested in now, not even the poster...[u]unless[/u...I find outright disinformation. When that happens, I can't resist jumping in with both feet to set the record straight, I don't care if the post was sent years ago! I despise lies! Maggiepie IMPEACH THE IMPOSTER![/b]

HI Zandi! It is good to know that someone touched and responded to your older discussions to make them alive. I strongly believe that you always start quality discussions and anyone could respond to your discussions and can share his/her views. I always enjoy while responding to your discussions. It always makes you nostalgic when someone re-opens your older and forgotten discussions. I have take note of your suggestions and would comply, as and when time permits me.

Back when the glitch of mylot happened a few weeks ago... Well I started to resurrect the older discussions of mine own and others so that I can bring new life into them, and hopefully get more insight from newer members as well. It's always good to go back and juice the older discussions, or dust the cobwebs off old ideas and make them new again!

Jill, is always a good responder.

Like you I am truly honored when my friends dig up and revive my old discussions because it shows that they are really interested in you and to do that takes more effort.That friend is really a true friend ,I must admit that from time to time a few friends have done so for me but only occasionally and for a few discussion .I too often revive some of my friend discussions especially when I realise taht I havent responded to a particular friends discussions,then I usually oblige them in that manner .I hope that many more of your friends will revive more of your discussions .HAVE A GREAT DAY MY FRIEND

ha ha ha ha ha... Well, I archive all my response email notifications. And will try to get to them whenever I can. Throughout the year, there are busy times and lull periods. Lull periods are the only time I can actually stay in touch with my friends, be it online or in real life. So, when the lull periods hits, I would be busy catching up!

I do respond to older discussion that appear along side the discussion I am currently responding to....and I have people that respond to older discussions too..

Hi zandi, I just gone through the similar situation and my inbox was filled with new replies to my old topics. The interesting thing, that friend responded to my first discussion (3 years ago) in mylot and that time I was not aware about the importance of commenting back and awarding a BR and shocked to know that I haven’t commented back to them and even didn’t resolved too. I too was not bothered to recheck my old discussion. Another friend followed him and she responded some selected discussion. I have the habit of checking old discussions of new friends but never went so deep.

You are right; whenever I check out other friends' older discussions, I can see quite a number of quality ones. And there weren't many answers to some. Perhaps because everyday, there are always people posting discussion upon discussion that people tend to forget about the older ones. Whenever there are quiet days in mylot, like during a weekend, I would love to go back to the olden days of the lot. Just check out what ticks and whatnot people off during those times, happy and sad discussions, exciting and many more.

When ever i want to ask about some thing first i search about of it on mylot discussion.. many time i got answer from older discussion i am also introduce some point on that discussion.. it is good to avoid repetition of topic...

Yeah zandi you are right I would like to see more responses to my discussions even if they are old ones I posted a discussion about 2 days ago and only got 2 responses I Am quite disaspointed!

That's really a surprise and unexpected for a friend that gone so long then back and write a comments and response in your discussion. A surprise visit my friend... For me I always response to any discussion that mylot, sent it to me. I don't care if they are old or new discussion? Have a nice day!

Wow that is good of them... No doubt many of us stick and browse more on todays top... Amd I guess that is realy nice thing to do... especially for good discussions that deserves to be revived...

Personally it is exciting to see people giving chances to Old discussions. As I am so far behind in responding back to a lot of my Older discussions still, and choosing Best responses there are a lot of discussions there that people could still probably learn from and help out on. I know I am one that has restored a lot of older discussions for some of my friends, and I feel it is worth it even when a Best Response has been chosen if it still is something that I can relate with.

lol..it's interesting that you ask because that's exactly what I am doing. I haven't been on mylot for a while and each time I log on, I actually have been responding to old discussions rather than the new ones. I have a folder in my mail box of all the notifications of the old discussions and whenever I want to mylot, I go through them first. So, yeah...that's what I am doing right now...and hope you will be pleasantly surprised to have this one pop up one fine morning..lol

WOW what a good job he did. I will have to find time to do that. But on yours I think I have answered most of them lol hugssss

tHAT'S A GOOD THING, zANDI, GLAD U ARE SO PLEASED ABOUT IT.I always like hearing from people that have disappeared. There are some i would like to hear from myself. Have a great day.

I don't mind going back to old discussions, most especially if I cant really find something that I can relate to or comment at when Im on mylot. Like you said, might as well...

Old discussions like this one? Yes, I do reply to old discussions, some even 5 years older. I respond to them as long as their topic interest me. At first I was hesitant because answering to old discussions seems to be walking to an empty room. Everyone had participated and there is no one there anymore. But based on feedback by the veterans here about responding to old discussions, I learned that no discussion would be too old to participate. And so I started participating to old discussions. What is nice is some of the discussion starters still comment back to their responses. To me that is so cool!
