Is it just me?

..been noticing that my mylot emails are getting less each day. I'm not sure if the notification is just not working, or if people are just really not replying to comments on their discussion. I decided to go back to all those that I have responded, and lo and behold.. People really are not commenting.. I thought this was all about having discussions, and not just about asking questions and have someone answer them.. I miss the old times where we could have discussions that would last for days... Bring back my old MYLOT!

I am finding myself replying to less as so many discussions are getting deleted, really starting to annoy me

poking in too. I have got so if others have not responded to a one answer question I will not either as a lot of them are d efinitely breaking the my lot rules about questions asked that mylot has already answered in the Q's and A's. why lose more responses?

Yeah, there are so many discussions posted that are really breaking the rules, but people just doesn't seem to realize that. Hopefully, they find time to check the rules first before creating discussions.

Yes - I agree completely. I came to this site about 5 months ago and was not even that bad then. Everyone posted quality discussions and everyone loved to respond to them! It seems like it has really went down hill in the last couple of months.

Hello Ing, I haven't noticed much of this lately 'coz I've been quiet busy last few weeks.And I don't get much time to comment in every of my respondents in some of my topics, and so I want to have this chance to apologize to all my friends who give their best to response but not yet have words from me as of now yet, including you ING! Please accept my sincerest apology! Have a nice day!

Hi Cloud! I noticed that you've been out lately, though I still see that you are still commenting on my responses. There are other users who just really don't comment back, eventhough I see them posting more and more discussions every single day... Apology accepted, and hopefully you'll be active here again. Miss responding to your discussions!

it has been happening to me not only for the last few days, but i guess for the past month or two. i have been telling all the guys here about this problem but they only say that they are getting theirs regularly. they also advised me to tell or contact the admin but i won't do that.

Well, let's just hope that the life of Mylot would be back sooner than later.. I really hope that it would go back to what it was a year ago.

I know exactly what you are saying! I have noticed that in the last few weeks I have had a dramatic drop in the amount of emails I am getting rather it be someone posting on one of your discussions or friends starting new ones! Well, I hope it picks back up because I enjoy being on this site! Happy Mylotting!

Yeah, it's annoying at how people start discussions just for the sake of having something to post. I don't think they know what Mylot is really all about, and it's not just about a simple question and answer site.. I do hope that members would do their best to try to go back to the idea of having discussions, rather than a question and answer forum.

I am also observing this phenomena, some members create several discussions daily, i respond to many of my choice, but when i check back just accidently, i don't find any comment on the responses, naturally i don't get email from mylot More over the discussions are mostly one line, question answer type and started under a wrong interest.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

yeah, I think admin should do something about it.. It's sad that mylot is turning into a question and answer site, rather than a real discussion forum.

yes,i've noticed that also sometimes. i really don't receive emails from mylot a lot of times. i just wondered why. and sometimes i get back to my responded ones but there were comments there.i just wonder why i didn't receive emails from that. and i'm also kinda feeling sad for sometimes there were others who i responded and they don't comment back. well,i think if we have time for starting discussions,we also have time to comment on our responses. well, i think most of us here are striving hard to respond on discussions,so it's much appreciated if the starter also comments on those responses they got.yes,it's really lively discussions when there's always responding and commenting all day long.but sometimes,i also understand cause i know we all are living in different countries with different time zones and there were also some who don't have much time to comment back or not in the mood to post to some. i guess we all have our reasons for not doing so.takes one step at a time.

I guess you're right,.. Though there are some users who I know are really active here, cause I see them posting new discussions every single day. I just hope that instead of starting tons of discussions, they take the time to comment back on their previous ones..

ooohh... i'm somehow got hurt by that thought. i also post new discussions once when i haven't got commented to my previous started ones. well, sometimes i easily get bored for my started ones so if i can think of sudden topic that came to my mind,i just post it.but i never forget to comment back to other ones of course. i don't like also people to think of me as the one who ignored their efforts.in this way, i'm also hoping from other's comments when i do respond. it's like give and take relationships right? it feels good when you have something or someone to talk to in lively way,and all your efforts are not being ignored. happy mylotting!

hi ingkingderders what a user name. yes I miss that too but in my defense, and I really am on here for hours as I am retired,and in others, I have now got too many friends to really comment to each and every one every day as i would have to quit eating three meals and not sleep. I have 700 some friends, some of its my fault, as I hate to turn down newbies but somewhere something has to give. I try to respond to all my friends discussions and commmebt backon all the responses I make but I cannot catch up. I love to keep discussions going and do try honestly but think we are getting almost too large here ,thats a sad thing to say.

Hehehehe. I think the point is atleast you try right? but some users here really just abandon the discussions they have started and really won't bother replying to anyone, and that's what really sucks.

I noticed too that there are not a lot of topics that I can comment on these days. Plus the people are just recycling old topics its tiring to comment.
