How often you check back your discussions...

All of us start and responses in couple of discussions everyday. Some gets good responses and become really interesting to discuss further. And the best way to do so is responding all the comments we get from our friends and other users. But I wonder how often we check back to see new comments and reply...Me do it in every half an hour so than I can't be so late to reply and can keep a good flow of discussion....How often generally you go back to see your discussions status..??

Hi there soulsshine! Long time no see, but it's my fault not yours! I have not been on here as longas I used to be and I have got a backlog to catch up with. I love commenting back to the responses that my topics receive and I try and keep up with them immediately. I don't usually start a discussion unless it is my day off and I know I will be free. The responses and comments that come afterwards will all receive a comment from me sooner or later too. I use the 'started' tab above and look to see who was the last person to leave a response/comment there. I have it open permanently when I am on from home. I can't do that from work (like now) so I just stick to notifiers or I spend my time commenting on just a couple of topics started by others. I love getting new activity on my older topics. They often get revived and then get a new flurry of responses and it's fun reading all through them all over again!

MyLot is indeed unique! It is like a magnet and for many of us. once we are here we cannot be drawn away. We are stuck like glue and, like spiders creating their web, we are entwined in all the interests and topics and captured in a net Don't be jealous my friend because that is negative. I have an icon here from the beginning and I watched and learnt from them. Never did I imitate but I learnt the basics from them while admiring from a distance. Being able to come here and learn while earning is such a bonus. Indeed there are many and because I have been here for a long time, I have seen the progress made by mant, yourself included Let's hope that you will be back amongst us regulalry now!

Hello mysdianait...!! gold to see you...no not you fault as well. I too can't come here regularly. I kind of lazy and slow as I said, so I hardly can manage time after preparing my study, homework, assignments, cooking, shopping, cleaning...oh god lots more things to to, and sometimes I'm so tired to loot at my pcs.But I always miss mylot. Before I passed most of the time at facebook..but now see I'm here...I don't know the exact reason but mylot has an unique attraction...more than any other sites.. I know how sincere you are...I guess everybody knows it and they admire you for that...when I log in I always see at least one of your discussion has been top rated or you got the best response. I will never dare to say that I was never jealous but I was happy to see that and reading accordingly. I always follow top lotters (in my sense)..I see how they write, response and what are their topics.. I have to say when i came here I didn't know anything about discussions and my writing was terrible (I know still now) but I know I'm more relaxed and comfortable here than before and can easily understand what a lotter trying to say in a discussion and that's a great achievement for me. It's like a virtual language teacher for me...hahaha.. I guess there are many who will agree with me..

I try not to start so many discussions that I can't keep up with them. Usually I will check them everytime I login to mylot. It is the first thing I do after I sign in so that I can see if anyone has responded since the previous login. This way I can keep up to the best of my ability and show respect to the people that took the time to respond.

We still have lots of things to learn...may be a little step can bring a lot change when there is people who actually don't care what you are doing...it could be a good lesson for them... We start learning from our mistakes...there's no shame to admit our faults...

Hi sousshine, it's really interesting for me to write comments in my response box if I still have idea or whatever related to the content to share with the writers. I don't find any problem to comment back to responses in my own discussions for there is email notification from myLot site to remind me I have received new response. This is the great convenient facility myLot site provides. Therefore I don't have to check my own discussion for such purpose. I don't write any new discussion for quite a long time. And I would be noticed if there is someone responds my old discussion I would go back to my discussion pages whenever I miss them especially those with images attached as well as with posts from my old good friends who are not active here for a long long time. Happy posting

wow I like your comment..that's so nice of you. Yeah I got the idea of checking emails to keep track of my discussions and discussions started by my friends. It's really easy to get all the info without checking back my discussion pages in mylot. It takes less times. Thanks once again for your precise response and sorry for being late to response. My semester has started so after doing all the classes and assignments throughout that day I feel really tired, but still I love to come here because of you people.

Once I open a discussion, I will check for responses as often as possible. Like you I don't want to be late in commenting back on the responses I got. It's a way of saying that I read your response and thank you for the time to write.

Yes, we do have other things to do besides of responding on myLot. It goes the same way with them, the responders. So, I don't like when a member does not care to comment on the responders of her or his discussions.

Thank you jennyze.. for sharing your thought with us..we don't want to be late responding back but sometimes we have lot to do, and besides other works we give some times too mylot..so its not easy to be as quick and we at least try it...and it's a good attempt to say friends that we do care about them and have respect for their time and opinion.... thanks a lot for being a part of this discussion...

I also saw some posts which got around 12 responses but there was no reply from the creator...not only in one post, but in his every post, he just started but seemed not to have to care for it....and it was same after a week....though I saw him posting new discussions....what kind of mentality is this I don't get...may be he just want to get money without participating a lot, but I think it doesn't add a moderate amount to his account... Do you think earning money is the only reason for mylotter of being here? In my opinion it can be the primary reason but not the only one...

I keep up a really good pace with my discussions but it is easy for me to do as I do not start too many as they are far and few in between. I pay attention to all my alerts, my homepage and do frequent them often as well.

yeah good to know that..frequently checking back is very good. I found it more easy to make the discussion interesting and enjoyable. I have made some friends only by getting know each other from discussions, it helps to get a quick look through the mentality of someone's. i believe how they response, they leave a mark of how they are in person..am I right? Ans suny...I agree...theres a lot to learn everyday..lots of thoughts, views even I have started to think different for many things that I thought different and I got it from here from my friends....thanks a lot for being so supportive..

@soulshine, I can't begin to tell you how I have come to know several different wonderful personalities simply through their discussions. So you are absolutely correct.

Hi, i checked back my discussion when mail alert in my inbox of any of the old discussion which respond now, and i also check back my most responded discussion when i am not in mood to give response or start discussion so i read only my all responses and comments that i gave so during reading many new ideas come in mind and also many mistake which i have done in either typing or others come infront of me, which i try to not repeat again.

learning from mistakes is a good quality, not everyone can do it. In fact most of us (sometimes me either) are afraid of admitting our mistakes and thinks that if we take further action then it'll be revealed. But I'm happy that you falls under the small group of people who dare to admit their faults and learn from to correct their next step...so proud of you..

ha ha yes boss...so I'm not the only person who get excited and write whatever comes to mind...and sometimes when I check back I find some weird mistakes in my writing and it makes me laugh at me.....even more happy that I have got a company...yea to kamal ho geya vai..
25 Jan 11
Thanks a lot, i also do this because in mylot i learn many things specially english writing, so its necessary to me to check back my work, when we give any response, we are so excited and don't care about our mistake to its necessary to check back when we have free time.

Hello soulsshine, I am good for checking my new/old discussions and give my comment if anybody replied lately. Sometimes I do not get notifications when the new responses arrive but I do visit my profile and check the topics then find out who responded lastly, I can track my recent responders in this way. It is always nice to get replies to our old topics and we feel proud to get active again the old ones. I think those who have the habit of commenting back to the responders are keeping track on their old topics as well.

yeah,,I think so...though I don't get so many responses but I saw some of my friends do get responses in their old posts...it's really nice to know that people do care always and want to contribute whether its a new or old discussion..yesterday I do responded to a 5 years old post..hahaha...it was really fun..people are still leaving comments on that discussion...how fortunate we are..!!

Once I logged in here in mylot, as much as possible, I checked my started issues first to see and acknowledge efforts of my responsdents. For I believe that's the reason why we started and post an issue here, to get others opinion and views. After then, I go to browse discussions that would be of interest to me. If I post a reply and someone commented on it, I try to find time to get back and response again for I value their exerted effort in reading and appreciating my comments. It is really overwhelming to know people who can relate to your emotion then willingly shared their views and opinion which usually where and how I learned most of life lessons...through other people experience and point of views.

So true..we post here to get others opinion and views to see how true or false we are in our part..It is always good to see when some one responses...its like a feeling that they feel the same way(or differently but they care to let me know that)..and this they built by reading my discussions, investing their time to think about it a while and sharing their thoughts..I always find it so useful to get some vote over my thoughts or opposite opinion to think about it deeply, and as a result I most of the time find the concrete solution of a problem...very nice to have your response here...thanks

I just use the notifications I get from my email to check back on my discussions. It is a good way of knowing if there are new responses. The old ones that I've already awarded a Best Response I don't get to check often, unless of course I get new responses from them too.

Thinks that I should follow the way you do. It's a easy to keep the track of my discussions. thanks.....I generally check back from my profile....the last responses and timing...but it's hard and time consuming..I'll definitely try next time to get help from my email..I usually don't use this account so .. was unaware of the option... Thanks for your response and for considering me as a friend...happy friendship and happy mylotting........!!

It really depends on the time I have on my hands. Did not have much time while I was trying to get all the laundry done so I am free to do what I want to do the next two nights. Lately, my internet time has been next to none, so I have a ton to get caught up on. I do need to send out an apology for not keeping up.
• Bangladesh
24 Jan 11
Good to know how you handle mylot..my timing is also very odd...but I can stay late night before week end or holidays and spend some extra time in mylot. And asking for apology is so kind of you and I don't think you actually need to send out apology when your people here are very understanding..they will understand you...and no one here is free, not having any other responsibilities...everybody is busy, they have duties, jobs, study, family, society...so just be relaxed....and take care.. thanks for your response..dear!
