Do You Respond Back In Discussions Of People Who Respond Back To Yours?

Hey Dragon. It's pretty much the same way for me too. Between work and family life I just don't seem to have the time to mylot anymore. It doesn't help that I'm swamped with notifications from my friends list too. Fortunately I don't have them all on, but I turned on so many from the past it's really built up. And although I tend to be picker now I'm beyond overwhelmed! I really need to go through them all and choose which ones I want on, but I don't know where to start. I have thought about starting over with a new account. Maybe it would help me get a handle on things. Chances are I won't do that, but then again... I really wish mylot offered a notifications button directly on members profile pages. It might be easier to choose if we can turn them on or off directly from there. Having to sort through them through the friends page is such a pain in the butt...even when it's set alphabetically. I don't doubt it'd still take some time to go through them all, but at least it'd help some. Happy mylotting!

Yes, I will admit that a lot of times for me too I have been known to stick in my little circle as most of the time the people I respond back too, are also usually the ones known to respond back to me. But there are times I have found someone new and usually glad that I have. Just too many like you said to continually keep up with.

I also tries to respond back to the discussions of people who respond back to mine. Sometimes it takes lots of days when I reach there. I am also behind in discussions that I have started in responding. I think it is a good idea to make a friendship and each others by responding to their discussions when they respond to ours.

I hardly ever use the 'no responses' tab these days. I watch the icons at the top of the page but most of all I use the 'recent' tab as everything passes through there. I too see that the topics with no responses inthattab have a high percentage of discussions which will later disappear. I suppose that's good because it means that others have left them, hopefully because they realised that they would go.

thats a neat idea diana, one I had not thought of. I always feel for those who do not receive any responses. I have hit the tab no rsponses but most of the time I could see why they received no responses. also most every time I did this I lost the responses because as I had sort of surmised it was a poll type discussion and most but me had been wise not to waste a response on it. I do something respond to remind the poster that they have posted a poll type discussion.. If only they would look at it before posting then reword it they could sav e these. I have often d one that.I make it into a discussion issue then ask everyone's take on it.. I am not polling people but asking how they see my issue with such and such.I do try to do all my friends discussions that interest me then branch out to others not on my list. in the beginning thats how I got most of my friends as I kept responding to some of the same users who then asked to be friends.

Yes. there are many times I have responded back in a discussion from someone who might not be on my friends list, and this is a Great way to get to know them, and especially help encourage them if they are new. And yes, there are times I have PM'd someone or someone will PM me just to let me know things they may not always feel the most comfortable with sharing here.

That is so True, and in reality the Best way to do it. This is how you might find some people who deserve to be on your friends list as well.

Well I always try even with people who are my friends or not in here who respond back in any of my discussions to take time if I can to check out their profile and discussions that they might have started and see if there is one I might be interested in responding back too as well. I feel it gives an all around feel to what this site is all about.

Well, it is true that if there is a discussion here someone has started I will take time to respond back even when they are not always a friend. Since it is important to take time to respond that is the importance for sure, and hey in the end they might one day become a Good friend as well.

Personally I think that happens no matter where you are, and many times from people you least expect it from. I just tend to let things pass and if they want to still be more like this, I often say it it just their loss.

I am disillusioned with the word 'friend' here after some 'friend' betrayed me which I least expected!

Yes, it is interesting to go check out the profiles of the people who often are responding back in some of the discussions I have started and checking out their profiles and often making New friends. I will often accept someone as long as they prove to be active, but go in and clear out some of the inactive ones from time to time as well.

Hi, Hatley, I hate to remove someone who might come back, but if they have been on my friend list so long that I do not even remember accepting them and they have 0 or 1 or so as activity, I feel pretty confident that I can remove them from my list. Like you I have thousands, and some days I still cannot find anything that I can wrap my brain around and respond to.

hi g ardengerty Iam a sucker for those who have only one or two friends and will accept them but now i have a huge list of mylot friends and sadly Ii cannot begin to respond to all of them. yet when I do repsond to a new name then I find two or three friends request and so my list grows,.I need to clear out those who have never come back but I hate to do too much then cut out someone w ho will come back. help.

I actually enjoy looking at the profiles of people who have responded back in my discussions and see if their is a discussion of theirs I might be interested in responding back too. Might take more time to respond back to all of my discussions this way as you can see, but for me it is my strategy.

yup thats you

Well, even if I am behind in responding back like I am with this one, I do try and take time to respond back when I can. Eventually this will get to where I can give a Best Response and feel it is truly worth it as well. I know it takes some time but interesting to see what others respond back with as well.

hi savy and krause I come back when I can and finish commenting back as I know how it feels to respond and not be commented t at all. you feel likesomeone slapped you and said that one is not important. not kind in fact rude. so we can all just do what we can when we can but to finish commenting even if it takes three months to do so.there is no time set to when to do it just so one does it.

I never considered this in such a personal manner. I have limited time and I read all responses and rate them, but don't usually get back to them unless they have asked a question or have intruduced something very interesting that I want to know more about. It's all a matter of time and I certianly hope no one takes offense if they don't hear back from me.

Yes, even though I am often behind in here, this is the way I do it. Helps give me new people to respond back too, and maybe become friends with, and at the same time find discussions of some of my friends that I might have missed.

Personally that is why it takes me so long to get all of my discussions responded back too because I take time to respond back to everyone, and go check out their started discussions and see if there is something that I have missed out on.

Yes, I can understand with trying to keep up with everything, because besides my Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments and working full time right now, I also have an online offline business to run, etc. so I am quite busy all the time for sure. I am always way behind in responding back in the discussions I have started, but doing what I can as time permits.

Yes, it is good to keep on responding back to people who are responding back in the discussions you have started. Even if you are behind like I am here with this one, I still find New people responding back from time to time to help continue to keep it going as well.

Be active on discussions that interest you, and as you meet new people request a friend or two. Often you will find that if you are active first, and become a little better known, people will respond to you more. Sometimes discussions move down the list quickly if others are started at the same time. Many people go by the notifications of their friend's discussions and so if you do not have active friends your discussions may not be seen. Each time you get a response your discussion moves to the recent tab and gets noticed again.

Yes, it is true that New people here need to be active here posting back in others discussions as well as making New friends and interacting with them as well. We know everyone can never be here every Free moment of the day, but when you take time to interact with one another it proves just how much you care.

Well, many times I will find myself responding back in a discussion to someone just because they responded back to one of mine and find some really good discussions. This is also a Good way to keep up with those taking time to respond back in mine.

Yes, it is a great way to get to know others here by the type of discussions that they start here. Especially with all the New people coming here everyday, if we the people who have been here longer take time to respond back to them and encourage them to be active it helps keep this site a way better site to come too.

Yes there are so many people who tend to come and go here. Many times some never even take the time to get started. But checking a good friends discussions from time to time is a good way to keep up with what you might have missed out on as well.

Well, I may not be the Best or the fastest when it comes to responding back in discussions that I have started, but I do try. Many times, it just depends on the time I have to be here as well, but I do try and respond back in as many of the discussions I have started as I can. Being able to keep a conversation going should be more important to others for sure.

Yes, there are a lot of times I am slower in responding back to discussions I have started and even sometimes when someone might have responded back in a discussion I responded back too due to the amount of time I have to be here, but I do what I can as I have time.
