Discussion

I have responded to older discussions when I feel I can add something useful and knowing that it comes back up to the recent discussion tab, gives me joy. Joy because if it is a discussion where now members will see and learn from it that for me is helpful. Don't be surprised though, because I have responded to 2 - 3 year old discussion and that prompted the discussion starter to login and comment back. Not common but it can happen.

Yes....I have done that a few times...when someone isn't around or it's an old discussion. I still like to give my comments if the discussion interests me.

Hey, you never know.. maybe if they get an email regarding your response.. it might prompt them to come back to mylot and start discussing.. again. or it might generate another to comment on the response you left and therefore you can start a new conversation.. I have responded to old discussions before as well. there is no harm in it.

thank-s hello, this are just a few of those discussions that we ran across. sometimes, we miss them and then we find them and we reply even knowing it has been so long discussed. some mylotters are still there and you will be surprised that they will comment on your reply. lets hope and see. have a great day. ann

Yes, I guess it does not matter how old the topic for discussion a member had started, as long as we have post comments that could add insights or relevant to the topic.Of course we aren't sure if the member who initiated it is still active.But for me it's still okay to post comments/response to a discussion especially if the topic can still be applied to the present situation.

I don't look at date of discussions whenever i respond to them. It doesn't matter to me how long that post has been around, for i'm still earning regardless of them responding back to me or not. IF the discussion is still alive, i would be glad, treat it like an axtra bonus for me. IF not, i will let it pass, and let it be a surprise should it appear in my inbox again.

I feel well satisfied when I make a good response to a discussion, even an old one. I realize that although the original poster may not see it or comment back, others may, and the discussion and information is valid for other people as well as the original poster.

Hi Thanks: I think your effort worth it even if the discussion starter never read it because, even with that you have to know that the discussions that are been placed here on Mylot are not only related to the one that ask it first. They are also our question and sure if this was a really interesting subject that attracted you even if it's been here for more than 3 years, there must be at least another person that will read your answer. ALVARO

Knowing the user will not come back is some consolation really but what about those active users who ignore our responses and/or comments which I feel is worse according to me. If I know a user has been inactive I will not attempt to respond to those topics although may be one can earn even though there would be no comments received.

I did that too, I think i responded to a very old discussion about painting and drawing, I really felt like responding because I felt what we contribute becomes beneficial not only to the discussion starter but would benefit all of us who would get to read it.

Hi thanks! It actually doesn’t matter much to me as to how old a discussion already is as long as I have something to say. There were times that I still get a response and that’s very surprising but most of the time the one that started that discussion isn’t in myLot anymore. It still feels good because at least I was able to contribute my ideas and let it out.

Yeah, and that's really one of the good things here at myLot. Even though we're all do not know each other personally, when one comments on a posted discussion which is about one's concern, you kind of feel like being helped out by one of your friends. In a way, the responses posted affect our thoughts and decisions, and allow us to think more of possible solutions to our problems. We also get to share our cultures and stuff, and thus make us feel connected all over the world. It's nice, isn't it?

Even though the discussion was started ages ago, I still respond to such if I am really interested or have something to say regarding the topic. Having expressed my opinions even though there is a lisght possibility of the topic starter reading it is still a nice thing to do. It brings out your ideas on a subject matter. Even by just expressing my thoughts is enough for me.

When I am responding to a discussion here in my-lot, I don't mind if the discussion was posted years ago or just a recent one. As long as I like the topic and lots of ideas came from my mind by just reading the subject of that particular discussion, I immediately respond to that. Also, I have this habit that I don't read the responses that was already posted on the discussion that I want to answer because if I read those, i might get some of their ideas or worst, I may copy the entire response and ruin the entire discussion.In addition, this may prevent the repetition of every response for that specific discussion.So I see t it that I only read the subject of every discussion that I am responding with. Happy my-lotting! *angel*

Well, there are many times I have responded back on older discussions someone has started here never sure if anyone will even notice and take time to respond back to them. But that is OK. Sometimes it just feels good to take the time and respond back in a discussion here or two.

People will respond to discussions if they know they've been revived. It's been known to happen. I'll respond to some, not knowing at first that they're old discussions. I usually find them on the sidebar and they get me interested. I don't care how old they are, if I have reason to respond to them, I will.

uumm, when i first started it was no big deal. but now i find when i comment, i want a response. if someone ignores me on here over and over, i delete them. thats how i roll as the saying goes.

hello thanks, I did same thing long ago. I am bit bored and don't find any interesting topic to respond so I keep scanning for topic/s and stumbled on a long time one (old topic 5 years ago) I did checked the poster and found out that the user is not active ,still I respond to that topic because I want to write my opinion/express my view/s on that matter. I always respond to topic/s that I can relate with. have a good day jaiho®

I used to be like that not caring if the person who started that discussion will ever reply back or not. But now for some reason i have changed. I do care now if that person reads it or not. I also don't like responding to discussions that have been started years ago because my respond may not hold true anymore or may not be applicable unless it's a general subject.
