zero response

Don't be so sad, dear mmgonazales, I came here for you. You got zero response here maybe because there are so many posts here that people just didn't notice yours. Maybe they will notice it later. Have a nice day.

Of the 73 discussions you have started, only two have not yet had any responses and most have three or more responses. There are often times when a discussion will not get any responses. Usually it is because nobody at that particular time has anything to say on the subject, often it is because it just happens to be at a time when many other discussions are being posted and yours simply gets overlooked. If you believe that some of your friends are likely to be interested in your topic but may not have noticed it, then send a PM to those you think most likely to be interested and ask them to respond. That is one of the reasons for the 'Friends' feature in MyLot. Once you have received at least ONE response to a discussion, you can 'keep the ball in play' by commenting on this response. That will put the discussion back into the 'Recent' list (which many users look at, I know) and you may well get more responses. You will also tend to get more responses to a discussion if you use tags intelligently, relevantly and appropriately. Tags will allow a discussion to appear alongside other discussions under 'Similar Discussions'. 244,647 is the TOTAL number of users who have ever signed up to MyLot. Many of them have left or never participated at all; some of that number, even, no longer have accounts here. At any one time, there are probably no more than a hundred or so users online. It is quite likely that nobody happens to be interested in a particular topic at that moment. What you should NOT do is be disappointed and complain that you haven't had any responses to a discussion. There are things you can do about it and, if still nobody responds when you have done those things, then perhaps the topic wasn't such a 'burning issue' after all. Move on with life!

Sometimes zero response discussions are just the results of posting when most of your friends are not on. It can also happen when a lot of discussions come in all at the same time or rapidly one after another. Your discussion kind of sinks down the list. You are correct, though, we are all connected.And zero response discussions can get a sudden response at any time.

I have had discussions that have had no responses too. We are all together. I think that with a mixture of mylot issues and being new..it can really be tough where responses are concerned. Hang in there.

I have never had zero responses here either. I try to answer at least 5 to 10 zero responses a day so no one feels left out here. I hate seeing that. I know how bad I would feel if it happened to me! I want everyone to feel welcome and wanted here.

Don't despair, we all have those discussions, the kind that just didn't spark the attentions of majority of the people, or those whom none can fully relate. I also believe that most people here know that if they do not have anything nice to say, they just say nothing at all. There could be a number of reasons why a discussion gets no answer. Just don;t take it too badly. Try again and I'm sure that since life goes on and we keep on encountering lots of stuff, we're all bound to connect somehow thru these life experiences.

Hi there.. Nope, i have not experienced this till date as i have some good friends who usually visit my discussions and put responses. So, i do hope i will not experience this in future too. Have a nice time.

There are times that the topic we posted are not common and perhaps other people doesn't have any idea about. Anyway, keep on posting!
