i don't like my lot!

If you can think bad things about this site, you can also think of the good things as well. If you would try to list them all down, both the bad and the good things you see in this site, if one outweighs the other, I guess you can decide on such an outcome, but I believe it's entirely a personal choice to begin with, similar to how we decided to join this site in the first place and how we later realized another reason to stay in this site. Now, if you don't get as much responses as you expect, your not alone. There are others as well who start what they think to be interesting discussions, yet never even get a single response. There are lots of reasons for that to happen. Some that I can think of would be: - other discussions also get posted and when you look through the new tab for discussions, perhaps your newly posted discussions are already at the back pages. - Perhaps members are not active at the time when you posted your discussions so they don't get the chance to read on them when they do become active. - Notifications are not always sent to our emails and that's understood with the high amount of activity that this site happens to deal with with it's number of members being active every now and then. And there are other reasons why, but that shouldn't stop you at all. Be positive! You already said that, 'it's already a luck when there's one would take time to read and give a little seconds to type and pass on a comment on my discussion..' so it isn't so bad after all. (^_^ ) My discussions are already old so I really get responses on them quite rarely, yet I am quite grateful whenever I do get feedback (^_^ ) I don't get to respond as quickly as I'd want to, perhaps notifications didn't get sent or I was just busy at that time. However, I still try to get back at them to show my appreciation. I often respond to discussions of others and even when they can't reply as quickly, I just believe that they will eventually, which they often do.

Heyheyhey! cheer up! You know, for me it's okay to get a few responses as long as I was able to say what I want. But, if you want people to respond to your discussions, you have to write something that most people can relate to. :) However, I'm not sure if that's what you would want. A good and catchy title can also help to get people to respond to your discussions. :)

Hi, sorry you've not been getting responses. It does take a little time to build up a circle of friends. if you add a few people, they will see your unread messages on heir dashboard and in their email account if they have notifications turned on. I will add you as a friend now. Dont feel too bad about it. Just try adding people as friends who make a lot of postings. You can feel free to have a look at my list and friend those who have made many contributions. Good luck.

I'm sorry that not many people are replying to your discussions. I know what that is like to spend such time and effort thinking up a discussion and then having to type it all out. I guess Mylot isn't everyone's cup of tea. I know what that is like. So I have to take some time off with not typing stuff on Mylot so I don't become disinterested in it. I just see Mylot as a huge social networking site when I can chat with other people and earn a little bit of money doing it.

Hi amandoalexandra, I am very sorry to hear that you are not enjoying yourself in myLot. Like the other members already suggested, make friends and they will start responding to your discussions. Another thing is, browse through different discussions and respond to them. Not just respond, when the discussion starter or other member commented on your response, get back to them, interact with them. Soon you will learn that other members who are sharing the same interests as you are joining you in your discussions. Add more interests. It is a little overwhelming to find out what interest to add and such. What I do is, I open a tab for 'Recent Discussions', I refresh it every now and then. When a discussion comes up that looks interesting, I respond to that and after I submit my response, if that interest is not on my list, it gives me an option to be added in that interests. When you are browsing only, the top interests shown are only those which you have listed in your interests. So you cannot really see new discussions under a different interest. I do hope you have fun here.

Hi alexandra, don't get disappointed! It happens when you are just starting on MyLot. Try adding more people as your friends. Also, think about the ways you can help other people through myLot. As you keep on responding to discussions, you will make many friends. That way people will come back to your discussions and answer them. I hope you don't quit MyLot and give it another chance! Good Luck.

Hello amandoalexandra, I am sorry you feel that way now, but i am sure that feeling is going to wear off, just give it more time. Try to make more friends and respond to other discussions more than you start, just for the moment. When i was new i mostly responded to other discussions, also because i didn't know what to start discussions with. Just give it more time and things will get better.

Hi there! Oh dear, don't feel sad. There were times that I don't get huge number of responses on my started discussion and I felt so bad about it thinking that I might created a boring topic. But I have realized that people have different interests and "likes" and so, I just moved on and start again until I reach my goal of getting more feedback or comments. Happy Lotting!

Sorry to hear that you are sad. Try not to take it so hard, it does happen especially in the beginning but the more you myLot the more members remember us and eagerly continue to respond. Sometimes it is a matter of timing and when the discussion was placed and since so many members start several, at times it gets pushed down below the tabs. Continue commenting to the discussion and it keeps it flowing for others to see it. I am on second page so you have received quite a few here. I also see that the discussion is now 1 week old so by me responding it will bring it back up to the recent discussion tab where more members will see it. I hope this helps and hope you can smile with us soon. Best of luck to you and continue myLotting it is such a great site.

well i like to response in discussion and that's what i merely do try taking part in more discussion this will help you as more people would come to know you they would surely came back to give there view when you want one

I think it all depends on several issues,and the most important one seems to be the topic of the discussion;I started a discussion about something I enjoyed but I received only one answer because the topic of the discussion wasn't very familiar to most of the people,so I wasn't surprised at all.That doesn't mean that because I received only a few responses to some discussions I don't like mylot;on the contrary,I enjoy it even more than at the beginning.In fact,there's no other site like mylot for me,so I feel sorry to hear that you don't like it and you want to quit for good,but t's your choice and I respect that.

hi there amandoalexandra! dont get disappointed right away. I can see you are fairly new here. a lot of members are eager to put in comments to discussions provided that you also make discussions which are interesting. invite members to be your friends and also comment on other discussions. have fun and keep mylotting :)

hey.. is this your strategy to get attention..? =D don't get me wrong.. what i'm saying is that it's almost impossible that no would check your discussion and leave their comments..i bet you already know the principle "you type, you earn"! well i think, that what ever your subject is, there will certainly be someone who'll take time to write something 'bout your discussions.. you just have to wait. try thinking of a more interesing topic that you think people would be talking about.. be patient..keep earning, keep mylotting!ü

I've only recently joined here but i am starting to like it. If people don't comment on your discussions, comment on other peoples it's a great way to meet new people
