Hi friends and mylotters!
I have unlimited time online so whenever I visit mylot,I usually just reply to my dear friends' discussions here. But lately,I tried browsing to other's discussions too and find it very ineteresting to reply so, I did. And the best part is,I was able to see some of my close friend's(from other sites) account here and I immediately sent a friend request,haha! So now,when I still have enough time,I try to browse other's discussions and reply to them.
Do you just post your reply to your friends here or not? Do you have any pattern in posting your replies to discussions here?

hi,
I reply to the discussions , which i can , i simply dont like to scribble anything just for sake of writing, and i dont reply ,if dont have any knowledge of the concerned discussion. May be in this way i miss out many points, but i just cant scribble. I reply to anyone , i dont see whether they are in my friends list or not. I see the concerned discussion.

Hi prashu!
When I'm a newbie here,I do reply to anyone's discussion but only if the topic interests me. I don't also post comments just for the sake of writing and earning as I don't feel my reply wont make sense to it. You try scribbling,I'm sure you will find more interesting topics to reply with.

Hi friend!
Very interesting topic you have started!Actually I respond to the discussions started by friends as well as others who are not yet on my friend list. That is to say I have no fixed pattern in replying to discussions. I look at new topics and respond to the ones in which I feel I can contribute something. Or else, I do not like to post anything which has no relation with the topic. Sometimes there are some posts which I cannot participate in because they are on topics related to something that I don't have knowledge about. If I have nothing to add to that, I do not post there. I come to Mylot and look for discussions from my interest categories as well as my friend's discussions and start posting my responses to those that I can relate to or at least know something about. I do have limited time online and will get busier in the next few days as my classes will begin. But I will try very hard to manage my schedule so that I can continue to be active here. I have made some nice friends here and I have a lot of fun while being around. I do not want to be deprived of that.

Hi friend,
Welcome back! I am sorry to hear that you were affected by the floods. I had been reading discussions about the heavy rains in your country and was worried. I hope the worst is over for everyone. Indeed mother nature puts us through tests and trials. I am glad that you are now able to access the internet and carry on with all your work. Hope to interact with you more often.

Yes friend,it's just so unfortunate that our village was included in the flooded area,the flood even went inside our house. Good thing we have second floor,we stayed there for 3 days and on the 4th day,the water receded,thanks to our Lord! I am trying to put time online and even here in mylot,as much as I can. Until now,I am not yet done replying to all in this discussion of mine,oh my! I hope by tomorrow I can finish it so I can move on to my friend's discussions too.

Hi friend! I apologize for my super delayed reply as we were a victim of heavy flood at our place and my net was off for 4 days and when I was able to go online,got lots of things to do first,oh my! I just wish I can finish replying to all of you here tonight.
So you prioritize new topics then my friend,I do that lately and I'm happy to see old friends'(from other sites) discussions here.
Yes,having friends here makes our stay fun and the discussion more interesting to respond to.

Due to unlimited time here my dear friend,sometimes I can only post 3 replies to my dear friend's discussions,and you are included. Sorry if I can't answer to all of your discussions my friend. I am surprise to see lots of discussions from you here lately,happy for you!
I am starting to feel afraid my friend as I've known that the water in La Mesa Dam is already overflowing. I just pray that heavy floods wont happen again.
Take care my friend.

My dear friend,I know I don't have to explain to you why I replied to you so late. Would just like to thank you for always txting me during the times I need a friend most to update me about the news on our weather. I am so lucky for having you and dear jaiho as my friend. God bless both of you and all of us!

most of the time I started my day in mylot by response back to my previous discussion or my previous response. if this done, then I browser to the recent discussion or new discussion and response which is interested me. I have several friend on mylot and usually I tend to response their discussion too. but I'm not force myself to response if that's not truly interest me

Oh yes,me too! If I have a started discussion,I try myself to finish replying to all of them first then go to my friends' discussion and now,if given more time,I try to browse from other's discussions too. You have a very good pattern red!
@mtrguanlao (5522)

So true red! But sometimes this pattern is not being followed at all times as there are times that I need to reply at once to a discussion that interests me a lot or sometimes I am already indulged in a long chat with my friends here,haha! At least what matters most is I am enjoying while mylotting,right? By the way,I hope you don't mind me calling you by the name of red,hehe! You have a long name!

I first respond to the topic -- the subject of the discussion. it has to be one that grabs me and interests me but then, I also feel that I have to have something to say, something to add. I read my friend's discussions but if I do not feel that i can add anything to it, I will not respond. I browse many discussions. Sometimes I have more time than other times so I will browse more.

Hi bostonphil!
So it is more of the topic that interests you a lot. I have this habit that even if I don't feel the discussion of my close friends here or it does not interest me at all,I still reply to them, my way of supporting their discussions.

I understand that if it does not interest us (the topic),we really can't contribute much to the discussion but sometimes whenever I reply to my friend's discussion even if I can't contribute much with the topic,my reply adds fun to it,haha!

Yes, it is the subject or topic that interests me. If I am really interested in the subject or topic, then I will have something and sometimes a lot to contribute to the discussion.
I do try to support my friends and I know that they try to support me but sometimes I can not add to their discussions.

I always start reading the new discussions and answer the ones I find interesting or that I can asnwer, because I've experienced somthing similar or because I watch that certain TV show etc. I don't even have friends here :D-no real life friends are on here, and I don't really make really good friends on the Internet, because for me, making friends require live contact and me seeing the reactions of people. But there are people whose discussions I tend to LOVE.

Hi doroffee! Having friends here makes the discussions more fun to reply to. I agree with you that having live contact is a basis of friendship but I tell you,I found true friends here in mylot and we all met in person already and that's how fun a discussion is..with those friends you already know of even in virtual life that led to real life. Try having friends here,just a suggestion.

I sometimes reply to new discussions and some other times, I also reply to old discussions. I usually check discussions which don't have any responses. I take time to answer them. I think my time is quite limited so I don't have enough time to browse many interests. I would like to post my own discussions and comment on a lot of discussions. I guess I don't have any patterns. I sometimes choose discussions in ramdom.

It's good to know that a mylotter also looks for discussions with no responses. I remember I browsed some discussions with no replies but I only replied to those of my friend's no response discussions,hehe! I just feel I should be there to support them.

dear cutie,
I have my own pattern eversince I joined mylot and now that I lost notification from mylot.
I always check responses from my own topic first and respond to those comment that needs immediate reply.
Then- if I think responses can wait, I then proceed to all my friend's topic and check for topics that I can relate with and post my comment.
Sometimes even if I cannot relate with the topic if that mylotter is a dear one, I try to post comment just to make him/her feel that I miss that mylotter.
And I am glad you are here no matter how busy you are

My dear jai,I know you know the reason for my super delayed reply here,and I'm sorry for that my dear friend. Before anything else,I would like to thank you for being with me during the times I need a friend most,thank you to both of you(you and bhabycatch) for txting me at times of depression during the heavy floods,you two gave me comfort.
I envy you for having the energy and time in mylotting and you can even reply to other's discussions despite having lots of replies to your own discussion. I hope I can do it too. I sometimes feel sorry for myself and to my friends whenever I can't be here for a long time chatting with them,am missing too many discussions here and the fun especially. Got so many things to do online but have limited time,huhu! I wish t finish replying to all of you here but I think I can't do it again,oh my! Anyway,I do hope all will understand me.
Take care my dear friend and God bless you!

Dear mtr
you know me and so you can easily understand that I am more moody and what I write and whom I respond all depends on my mood. Yes, I have learned a few lessons, I will stay away from some lotters who think they are GOD at mylot. Luckily such people are numbered and so that does still allow me a whole others to respond to.
For friends, yes, there are many whom I dont respond to - not because I dont want to but because on their discussions I have nothing to write or comment as they are more specific to their country or other factors.
You are one of those whom I dont want to miss out as you have been closer to me than many others even friends

Hello, no I don't have a clear idea what I will do here when I log in.
I usually check the discussions of my friends, if the topic is little closer to me, my life and if I have something to say about it. There are friends who always make me glad that I have them in my friend's list, because their discussions are about daily life, which touch me a lot and I always have something to say there.
I check the new topics when the categories upper on our page move, to show us that someone posted discussion an hour ago, or few minutes ago.
I found it very useless to have 6 pages of friends, when we don't meet in any discussion, like when I post some discussion they have nothing to say about it or when they post any discussion I have nothing to say about it.
All of my posts are built on my personal experience in life, so I really try to avoid discussions where I will just say few sentences only to count one more topic where I have been active.

Hi suggar!
I do respect your own point of view that it is useless to post replies to your friends that is not of your own interest and just reply in few sentences. That explains why your reputation star is already high in just few posts,keep it up!
I also like and enjoy topics that concerns life as it is really an interesting topic to discuss especially if we already have experienced the scenario.
Sorry for my super delayed reply,by the way. We've been a victim of flood in our country,the flood even got inside our house,huhu!

Thanks for raising this discussion. in fact I thought of this way. Select one friend per day -- go through all the discussions started by him--in case I have not posted response -respond -if responded reply for others responses. this way we can do. I am not sure whether responses for old and old discussions will help us earn?

Hi ravisivan!
Wow,go through all the discussion of a certain friend here? Now that's something new,hehe! I may reply to a friend's discussion but for sure I can reply in her/his 1-2 discussions as I have more friends to reply with,hehe! I'm sure you also have many friends but I think I can't do all the replying in a certain mylotter's discussions.
As to your question,yes,we earn even if we post our replies to old discussions. Our participation here is what mylot pays from us. That's why it is better to have a give and take replies or chat even in one discussion only,be it old or new.
See yah!

Hello MTR,
I don't have any specific pattern.I normally go to the "recent tab" and select the interesting discussions from them.I also check email notifications of the discussions started by my friends and respond to them if find them interesting.

Hi Mtrguan, nice to see you around here again. Well, i am opposite of you since my time to online is always limited. That's why, i tried my best to spend as much time in here and the other sites whenever i have the chance to online. Most of the tie, i prefer to browse through discussions started by my friends first. If i came across some interesting discussions started by other mylotters, i am sure will give my opinion in them as well.

I also have limited online my friend that's why I can't seem to reply to all of my friend's discussions here and I do hope most of my friends understand that.

But I know you all understand me. I just promise not to leave the repliers here unanswered,that's not my type of doing,for as long as I can,I will try my best to answer,even if it is too late..better late than never,right? Hehe!

Hi,
For me, the topic of discussion is the main concern and I never bother who he/she is. If the topic is good to talk, I will always prefer to comment on this. Even you also come up with such topic where I can talk to you some works.

Hello sis, I don't really have a pattern here. I can only reply to two to three discussions here because I am so picky of interesting topics. I do browse on friends discussions first but when I think I cannot relate, I simply do not respond he he
Anyway, I want to 'really' participate that I always go back to the last discussions I've responded to ... if ever there's something more to answer about.
Its really good to see you here but I can't seem to accept you just yet as a friend here. I was trying since this morning. Just don't delete your request. Mylot seems to be really slow.
So, no pattern of commenting for me here :) Well, maybe I do join discussions after I finish replies for my own discussion.
