Posting on an old discussions?

It is perfectly ok and the original poster will probably be very happy that you did as you will revive it for them and if they are still active here then they might even come and comment back to you You see that column on the right Those are discussions with similar tags to the one you have open and they display the discussions with the most recent activity. If you post on an old discussion it will reappear in that column when other discussions with similar tags are open and others would see it too. If it is interesting then many others might respond so go ahead. Wherever you post you will be earnings nomatter how long ago the discussion was started

i sure hope it is..I just this morning responded to one that was 4 years old. I didn't realize it until my response had posted and I couldn't take it back I felt a little silly after I saw how old it was, but oh well, I couldn't take it back.

I personally feel that it's fine to respond to an older post, that way it can be revived and maybe other people will have something to add as well. I do this a lot. Especially when I'm going through my interests and nothing new has been posted for a long time. Another idea would be to maybe create your own new discussion related to that topic or whatever, but maybe add something to it so it isn't the exact same topic. Either way, I don't see how it could hurt to bring back a discussion that has been lost in time.

No problem at all and you can enjoy it anytime. Previously, in a month I replied to DWNR (Discussion With No response) which more than a year old. There are many quality posts discussed about politics and national issues. This type of discussion, normally, gets no response because not many members like to respond to 'hard' question. The best thing is our reply be the 'first' responder, always on top.

Hi Kompita, it is absolutely fine reviving old discussions. If you find you like the way a certain person writes you can find old started discussions in their profile which can be a lot more interesting than the current stuff, and they well be pleased to have it revived again, as your comment will put it back into the lists.

There have been a few very old discussions that I've responded to simply because you shouldn't use a discussion that has been used in the past. Therefore, before I start a discussion of my own, I try to look up the basic idea of the discussion and see if anyone has started a similar discussion in the past. When I do pull up a discussion that is like one that I've thought about starting then I will comment on it. It seems like about half the time I will get a response on my comment and half the time I will not. However, by doing it that way I feel like I am doing things the way that they are meant to be done.

Hi Kompita Yes they are ok to respond to so you have no worries on that at all Every Discussion you see on mylot new or old is safe to reply to

Yeah I think its fine to respond to a discussion that is months or even years old. In fact I think that being able to respond to posts that may be that old is something good that myLot has going for it over other websites where in their forums moderators or other members of the group may tell them to not post on old topics. After all a topic may of been started months or years ago but people may still be intreasted to read more responses on the topic and maybe people who already replied to the topic may have a new opinion on it.

It's okay, I hope they will back to commenting if they see someone responding to their discussions. Well, sometimes if all new discussions not interest for me I'll answer to the old discussions.

Some discussions which are 6-7 months old are fine to respond in. There are some discussions which are older than two years. I had once responded to one such discussion. Later I found that the discussion was removed. It was a proper discussion and nothing wrong with it. However mylot felt that it was too old after I had responded to it. So right now I prefer not to respond to discussions older than one year. In the end its your choice.

Yes, I do that from time to time. If I remember it correctly, I even had one discussion I responded that was 2 years old. Not sure if the original thread starter saw it or is even active on the site However, it was a topic that interested me and went on to share my opinion.

The only thing that I have found when responding to older discussions is that you might want to check to see whether or not the person is still active on myLot before you respond to the discussion. You can still respond even if the person is not active, and it will still earn you money for whatever you post. However, I like the back and forth of the discussion, so if the person is no longer active, then they obviously will not be commenting on my response. Therefore, I might choose not to respond to the discussion or if I do comment I will not bother to waste my time checking back for a response. Having said that, I think it is good to respond to older discussion if they interest you. I usually will respond to older discussions from my friends, because I know that they will get back to me. I have also responded to older discussions by users that have caught my eye, and we have had some fun interactions.

hi Kompita,atleast you thought whether we can respond to older discussions which have been started years back and there is no way to get an comment from them.but i tried to be over smart when i was new here and started an existing one thinking that it was really interesting and everyone would enjoy responding to as well but it has been deleted so what i have learnt is we can restart those but we should have some point to spice it up so that it doesnt seem the older one.gud day.

Personally I see no problem with responding to any discussion no matter how old it is. The purpose of this website is to have lots of meaningful discussions. I do not think when the conversation was started should affect whether it can be commented on.

Well, I don't see any problem in it ... Thanks ... :)

I have seen some old discussions and thought it was a shame that I hadn't seen those discussions before. I respond to it now and that doesn't matter that I have responded so late. When searching for discussions about a particular topic some old discussions might pop up. The other day I responded to a discussion that had been started two years ago. As long as you enjoy responding to a discussion it doesn't matter how old the discussion is. Although a couple of times I have made the mistake of responding to a discussion twice like in December 2007 and then again in May 2009. So in that case it is 'oh dear'.

I don't think there is anything wrong with posting to an old discussino. The person who posted it won't get credit for it, but other than that there is no reason not to post to an older discussion. Since the discussion will end up back on top of the person who posted its page they will be able to see the response and will probably be happy to see a new response there. At least I would.

hi kompi, yes i tend to repond to old discussion. usualy i check all the old discussions of my friends and if i find something interesting then i respond. i never see whether it is already marked best response or how many days old? thanks.

Hi KompitaPita,Yes, theres nothing wrong with that.Like me, if i can't find topics that interest me i used to go back to the topics started with my friends, and post my response or comments.I am still enjoying that way.I've fun of reading old discussions,because it helps me in improving my writing skills and also helps in refreshing my mind.Thanks,Good Luck!

pita-chu! well there is nothing wrong with actually trying to search and respond to old discussions. some one told me that when the new discussions went nuts they decided to dig in to old discussions and they started replying there.
