Do you add everyone who post replies to your discussion?

I only have less the 10 friends since I've just started last week. I just noticed that having friends helps you in increasing replies to your discussion so I'm planning to do this one to have more friends in the future. For my few friends, I see to it that I reply in some of their discussion if I'll able to see their discussions on my wall.

I have a different style of selecting friends - When I go through their discussions or responses if I am satisfied then I go to their profile study their interests and if it matches to my taste then I decide myself and make a friendship.
Of course every one have their own style of making friendship.
Making friendship is always advantageous you can share so many things with them and also learn what you do not know.
Here on my lot many friends are helpful .

I have a few friends yet... When I signed up here 3 years ago, I went to each of the member's profile here and add them specially if the replied my post... but when I came back months ago, I selected those friends whom I invited a friend's request... and most of the times I would love to be a friend of those who are active in here and do share relevant ideas... nevertheless, if am requested by some new comers here... then I would add them too my friends...

Having friends indeed increases the number of responses you get to your discussion. Two reasons: Your discussion appears for a longer time in your friends profile than on the main discussion panel. Second reason, some people answer to the discussion just hoping they would when he/she posts one. I sometimes add the people who posts to my discussions, because I am impressed with their replies and I do rate them.

Not everyone, if this certain member have the replies that was amazing to read on, I will invite him or her to become my friend. If I don’t find the replies interesting, I just leave it there, but I truly appreciate their response, much more if they are not included on my friend’s list. Sometimes I do not add them but they invite me to be their friends as I know they find my comments on their response really friendly. I do not reject invitation. I approved it all because I do want more friends on my list. I want to receive more discussion everyday. i have a goal everyday here in Mylot and I have to meet it. And not all discussion of my friends interest me, so I have to have many friends on the list.

Having a goal everyday on mylot is an awesome idea grecy, keep it up! ^_^ me too i dont ignore friends once they add me and i do respond to their discussions if its available in my wall as long as it interests me and i have something to say. I dont do profile check ups for their posted discussions, i just see what's available topics are on my wall. Thank you for participating.

Hello sether. I used to post a lot, but now as I have been busy, I post fewer. I am looking forward to having more time for posting and responding to friends' responses as many as possible. Welcome to mylot, sether.

I do not add every other responder of my discussions its just that if i find a mylotter who has contributed good information or if they share the same interests as me then they would make way into my friends list---as you keep on learning things here you would be in a stage to differentiate as who are looking for your discussions rather than those who look to make an post just to increase their post count---its true that the more friends you have the more responses your discussions get--- provided they're good enough.great day.

I don't add everyone that replies to my discussions. Having friends does help to get replies to your discussions but not every friend will reply. I had a friend that would get mad at his friends not replying to his posts but yet he never replied to mine and I tried to reply to his whenever I could.

Welcome to mylot family sether. I do not add everyone now, who responds to me. Earlier when I was a newcomer like you, I would do the same. Now, I only add those, whose response I find exceptional. I already have a very long list of friends and I cannot afford to be 'fair' to everyone's discussion/post/response.

It is good idea to add those who reply the discussion. I did not care for it and it resulted me the degrade in my star value. Friendship is a need, not only on mylot.com, but every where in the world. So I totally agree with you and I would like to add those fellows who reply or participate in the discussion I use to start.

Hi, welcome to mylot...well for me, it would be nice to add everybody if i had the time. Sometimes, my laziness lurks but i would interestingly read every single bit of responses that i get from people here. I appreciate it so much that they are sharing their thoughts, feelings, reactions, and comments to my started discussion. Have a great day and happy mylotting!!! :)

I don't really add friends.. I just wait for them to add me. LOL. That's why I don't have that many friends I think.. maybe I should start adding them.. But I really don't like to add people if we haven't really had much any contact or conversation in any discussions.. It's just kinda weird to do that.

Have only submitted one discussion so far but i think it won't be necessary to add everyone. Adding them is no assurance of a participation in your every discussion and, if this is the basis for adding someone as a friend, sorry, but personally i think this is not an encouraging reason.

This is my second discussion and I agree to what you think that there's no assurance that they will post on your topic. For me, I limit my friends as of now because I want to see every discussion they might open and if I can relate I'll definitely reply to it. Anyway, we should really add friends for the sake of friendship not by adding them so that they can help you earn on your discussions.

I seldom add someone to my friends list. Though there are more than a hundred people in my friends list, there are a few to whom i post a friend request. It's true that a greater number of friends helps you get more responses since many people prefer to respond first to discussions started by their friends. But i never rely on friends for more responses and when i reply to discussions, i choose those that arouse my interest, not just because they are started by my friends.

Your avatar is familiar, isn't that Kikumaru Eiji? I'm a fan of Prince of Tennis too ^_^. Anyway, before I post any discussion I see to it that I searched it first so that I wouldn't create duplicates. Good thing a lot noticed my discussion and posted relevant replies. Thanks for participating.

I never add people. Well, I just accept their invitation. You see, I don't see the point of having friends in mylot. Oh, I don't mean to be a snob, but unless I have something I need to talk to about with the person here, then feel free to add. But if it's just collecting these people, then I don't have time for that.
If we like the topics a person does, then we could well see it in the discussions, right? Similarly, if we like to react to these discussions, then we could do it freely even if we're not friends, just post. I do understand that there are those who add me since they'd like to ask me a question or two, but all-in-all what's there to add if we could talk in the discussions?
I don't follow a particular person, I choose topics as they are presented, regardless who posted it.
So there you go, I don't add every person who replies. I just add those who want to add me.

I don't add everyone that responds to my discussions, but I do add some of those that respond to my discussions when I notice that they've responded to several of the discussions that I've started. I beieve if you come to recognize their name from them responding to the discussions that you've started then it is time to add them as a friend and to have the opportunity to truly forage a relationship with them. One of the things that I do, however, is to take the time to respond to every person that responds to the discussions that I've started.

Yeah I see some people that posted on my friend's discussion and read his reply. It really is worth the read and then I noticed he posted on mine too so I added him. I will now only add few people that I think has something relevant to say. Thanks for participating :)

Well, that's true...you will get more response the more friends you have..But I got bored adding friends all the time...So I decided to pick my friends one at a time..
If you have interesting question then the replies will come to you automatically.

I agree with you that interesting discussions get a lot of response from friends and other members, just like what's happening now in my discussion. I'm really happy that lots of you responded and it seems that I'm getting a lot of ideas on how to handle adding more friends.
