Well, I do everything in my power to answer others responses, and I respond to some of the same peoples over and over, and I never see them respond to mine. Mylott, I think, is all about helping each other, but I'm going to help those who help me. How about you?

Hope I;m not on your list. I really don't pay attention to these things. I have my notifiers off and respond to whatever discussions grab my attention regardless of whether or not they are on my friends list or if they respond to my discussions or not.

I just read what I wrote...I didn't mean that I hope I'm not on your friends list ...hope you knew that. I meant list of people that you respond to and they don;t respond to your discussions. If I had all my notifiers on, my e-mail would be blown up.

that's what I have to do alot cause many of the ones on my friend list are not apparently around anymore. I was gone for about 3 months and things always change when I have to be somewhere else and not on mylot.

LOL. It never even crossed my mind that you might mean you hope you're not on my friends list. I really don't even know that much who is or who isn't. The only way I know is by hitting the 'friends started' tab at the top and answering under the tab.

@chrystaltears I am sorry people are not responding to your discussions. I will make a concerted effort to look for your discussions. Please feel free to send me a friend request. It will make it easier to find your discussions.

How I loved to respond to the topics who also responded to my discussion but unfortunately they are not.I just thought maybe my post is not worth to answer for that's why they are not interested on it. I'm just browsing topics and don't mind if somebody will notice my discussion.

hi Chrystaltears I really watch who resp nds a lot to my discussions and I try hard to respond to these same people too. sometimes they are on my friends list and sometimes not. but a lot whom I respond to come back and ask to be my friend. So it comes around and goes
around. I notice some who I respond to who never have responded back on any of my discussions. so I just do not respond any more to these
as we should indeed help each other.

Hi Hatley. I actually try to look for your discussions when I am working on mylott. I don't stay here on a regular basis, but when I start during the day sometimes, I look or and wonder how your schedule is where you are living. I think I mostly see you coming around in the evenings.

It's like talking to a rock, you make an effort to respond to a discussion you like and you keep on waiting for them to give their view on what you said but nada lol. There are also instances where you keep on responding to people's and friend's discussions but they don't seem to see you when you start your own. A rock is better at least it makes an effort to move when it has a chance to

This is true louievill. I also respond to known none responder because of the same reasons. There are some good subjects and they don't always fall under my friends started list, so I go to them also. Yes, sometimes when I write a good response, I can't wait to see what they thought about it, but they never respond back.!

There are also times that I still respond to a known none responder discussion simply because some of them start good topics and I must admit good writers and these are the times when I want to share my view too, it's just a pity they don't comment back cause when it becomes a discussion, the exchange of views and ideas would not only benefit readers in some way but would also be beneficial to both of us money wise

I know what you mean. I have had several people I've quit responding to because they don't respond to my discussions.
In fact, I have a few still marked as friends, but the notifications turned off because they would slam me with one stupid discussion after another, and while they would respond if I answered their discussion, they never checked out mine... and... a lot of theirs got deleted because they were against the rules...

I understand how you feel, but I have to say I found MyLot became more fun when I stopped thinking about earnings and just focused on having fun and on topics and discussions that were interesting to me.
So that's a different way of looking at it: try to look for topics and stuff that are really fun for you. That way your responses weren't for nothing, even if others don't reply.

Honestly, i wonder why others can have much much replies to their post although considering the topics they posted. Before i responded only to people who care to respond mine but now i dont care much. I learned not to be subjective at all times. There was many times before that i really tried my best to respond to his topics and in return i receive none from him on my topics.

Yeah, there's this one person who starts tons of discussions, so I thought since she gets responses that I would participate on her discussions and it would help me also, but she rarely if ever responses to mine, so I am trying to stay away from hers, although there are alot of discussions I know nothing about or don't understand what they are asking so I can't respond cause that's against guidelines.

I think it's not about who responds. It's about the ideas in the discussion. If you can discuss something on someone else's discussion but they don't come back to your discussions so what. It's not about everyone all coming back to your discussions. Half the time I don't know what mylotter I'm responding to and I don't care. I also make very little discussions except for at the start.

Well, I guess everyone looks at every situation differently, and mylott is supposed to be about helping each other. That is one reason why we have a friend list and why we have notifications sent to our email to let us know when someone has started a new discussion. Otherwise, all that would be useless.

i agree. it can be hard enough finding a discussion that gets your creatives juices flowing without noticing that certain friends appear absent.
i do not get on mylot much so i try to go through 'friends started' tab which i am doing now and i found this!
because of my lack of mylotting i also have the same problem in reverse, i was thinking of starting a discussion but i hate to leave responses unanswered in fear of appearing rude.
@chrystaltears (3392)

Yes. I think it is always best to go back to the trouble and show the respect by showing your appreciation to those who have responded to you and to show them on their discussions also that they are appreciated.

I have started a few discussions and gotten two or three responses only - which is fine, because those were not general ones but directed at something specific - such as when Papa Johns was giving away free pizza and pepsi to reward members when the coin toss roll on superbowl was heads. I wondered it any one else here had taken advantage of it - and obviously that would only apply to - those who live in the U.S. and those who are Papa John club members.

Oh wow! I have disagreed at times, too! I did have a ten star but I think someone pulled me down when I said something regarding wishing an atheist would be President so we could cut out all the religious stuff interfering in politics today - and the person ranted back about God fearing Christians need to be in politic...you get the picture - so then I replied back with several paragraphs about how this country was not founded on the Bible and the Declaration of Independence doesn't mention the Bible, God, Jesus...etc. And the constitution was written for the people - of the people - not God. Don't think he liked that!
But normally I am polite even when disagreeing and try to find something good to say about everyone who responds to my discussions. What was that on Pollyanna about if you look for the good you will find it? LOL....

Hi there,
Sorry that you feel like that.
I do find that when I come onto mylot and looked at the discussions and commented on the comments that have been left I don't very often have much time to go and look at other people's discussions and comment, but have done a bit in the last few days as comments have slowed down a bit on my discussions.
Of course I'm very grateful for everyone who answers my discussions as without them I would have no chatting ot do and I do then to chat alot with mylot freinds on my disscussions, leaving little time to actually go elsewhere.
You are in my freinds list and I do like having you on my list of freinds.
Hope you understand my viewpoint, I fully understand your viewpoint and will try hard to find your discussions as the last thing I want is for you to feel left out on mylot.

Thanks again for saying I'm so nice, doubt the children will agree with you when I'm shouting at them!LOL
I do like ot try and see things from both views even if I don't agree with that view as we are all so different and think differently so everyone has a different view on things and it would be boring if we all thought the same.
Hope you are feeling happier on mylot, if we don't tell people how we feel then no one would be able ot help each other

hello chyrs,
I do same thing.
If they do not want to come to my discs so be it.
It's not a violation anyway.
Maybe they are not interested with my topic, or my topic seems boring to them that is why they did not respond to it. (hehehe)
Anyway, I also do not respond to topic that I cannot relate with.
I find it hard to write comment with discussion/s that I don't fully understand- so,I better leave it.
Have a good day

I really don't think about who started it, maybe I should... If I have done that to you, I'm sorry!
The only time I do not answer a topic I like is if the person that started it was rude to me before...
I will start paying attention and going to my friends topics more often.

My cat is sitting in my lap with her paws on my shoulders and her tail on my laptop. So far I haven't done too bad with her sitting like that. Woops, there she goes. I guess she didn't think I was paying enough attention to her, but when I am mylotting I don't give attention to much else.

I am thankful for your responses. I think that it all comes down to what you said. Helping each other. Sometimes, it is hard to get to a computer,(I didn't have my own until yesterday) and had but a short time to respond, look for work, look at my e-mails and even log out.
No joke. I ran out of time to log out and I told the librarian. She told me that my time was up and I would have to wait until the next day. It is a public computer, but I didn't know at the time it erased all previous use. (Thank goodness.) Anyway... Hope you have a great day. :)

I remember back to the days when we didn't have internet and going to the library - even when they started with public computers it was timed. Even if no one else was waiting. More than likely from what you said CODYMAC - they didn't want to erase tons of stuff from any one person.
