Do you search for old topics?

Because there was a time when I was not that active here on myLot, I know that I have missed out on interesting topics. I have opened some of the myLot digests I have in my mail and there are topics there that are almost a year old. I opened them and responded to some of them. I found a lot of very interesting topics. For the past few days, most of the topics I have responded to and commented on are those that have been in my mail for months. Of course, I also respond to the recently posted discussions also. How about you? Do you search for old topics that you have not yet responded to?

I do. In fact, I’m answering one right now. Sometimes, when I can’t find interesting topics here at Mylot, I try to look at the profile of my friends and look for topics that they started that interest me and respond to them.

i never search those old topics here but i think someone may do this often since they may have not logged in and check their friend's post or their own posts or those topics they really interested in and they want to know how was the topic going so they have to search.

I have alot of emails in my inbox right now to respond to. I am very behind on them and I am trying to catch up too. I work with alot of sites and I barely have time for Mylot sometimes. I try to come here to catch up on old topics too though.

Yes, I tried to. In the past I have been so busy so these holidays I am trying to catch up with what I can.

Yes I do but I must admit its when I dont have any new discussions or none that my friends have not posted any discussions that interest me.At that point I just look at my friends profile and search for their old discussions and believe me I have found many wonderfull discussions that way sometimes even better than some of the new discussions

I do search for old topic if the current discussions are not that happening or are of not my interest. I wasn't here for a long time but did not go to the older discussion, coz there weren't any quality discussions in mylot for a while. My friends and referrals do update me of interesting discussion, so that i login at that time and then respond to the discussions :)

I wouldn't really say that I search for old topics. I may hold off on responding to some discussions if I'm not in the mood to mylot and so I may let my inbox build up some when it comes to getting notifications. I also may bookmark other discussions so that I can get back to them at a later date. I really need to go through those to see if I still want to respond to them or not, that way I can clear up some that I have on there. I may also search my friends profile pages, although I don't usually search past the 2nd page. If an old discussion is on one of these pages I may just go and check it out, though I don't purposely search out the old ones. LOL At the same time there is nothing wrong with responding to old discussions. So long as we haven't responded to it before it's all good! Happy mylotting!

I actually do respond to old discussions that still interest me. I have a bunch of notifications that I haven't yet checked and if the topic is indeed interesting, I'd just get back to it whenever I have time again to post on those interesting discussions. Even if they are really old, as long as they still catch my attention, I would surely post my comment or two (^_^ )

Yes I sometimes do, like for example, in searching about a certain computer program like OS I usually search it in the discussion tab to see what are the opinions of our fellow lotters. Same with getting some info's about certain money making sites, I find it cool that almost everything are searchable in here. I sometimes response to some old topics like 3 months old, because most of the topics in mylot are not only about current topics/events but old and on going issues that happens on a daily basis such as disease, life, personal experiences and such. So it is pretty cool to browse on older topics as well. Happy Lotting!

nope i tend not to search old topics but i often find people responding to and commenting on discussions i started weeks ago. Which feels nice in a way that discussions are still there available if people wish to look at them perhaps looking for help to problems and what not.
