Comments on responses after many years.

that is good, I myself post comments on old discussions if i come across because when I am fast and have responded to all the discussions that are new, today's top and recent ones, I just generally go to any other discussions and if I come across good one I respond even it is years old discussion. I can't tell about my discussions because i am 3 months old here and yes my earlier comments do get response too. Good for you in this case. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi deepak, it has happened to me a couple of times and it makes me feel very happy when that happens.I think one of my discussions which was also 3 years old received a couple of responses recently and once it surfaces, more people tend to respond to it..I think the topic is clear enough

I'm glad to see it wasn't just happening to me!I recently decided to finally resolve my old discussions, but in doing so, I noticed that some older than four years had been commented on in the last 12-18 months. It was weird because I didn't remember even receiving notifications! Some of my older discussions featured my former boyfriend and my needing advice-it was weird when a couple of them had new responses offering advice! It did feel quite strange too, almost eerie in a way.

Yes dpk, before I came back here just this year, for being offline for almost 3 years I saw some discussion of mine from about 4 to 5 years that has also responses from some newbie and some friends. I'm very happy that even it's been an old discussion still they are willing to respond.

I have joined Mylot recently and started only a few discussions till now.So I have received responses to my discussions that I had initiated only one or two months back.But I have sometimes responded to a few discussions initiated by others 3 or 4 years ago.None of my such responses was commented back.Perhaps nobody has the time to comment back on the responses to old discussions.

Hey i can understand what u might have felt after seeing your old discussions being commented again after so many years. This has happened with me also. Ever since i have joined Mylot, i have had so many discussions which had no responses at all but nowadays i see those discussions being answered again by the Mylotters and i felt a bit weird and thought for a while how this is possible. Ha ha ha. What say?

That happened to me too, it is interesting going back to read the posts so many months or years back. The person who replied to my post, was the person who put up the discussion so I assumed they had decided to close the discussions on their page and gave a quick look through the comments, giving comments on the ones they wanted to. I have done something similar, discussions that were posted ages ago can still appear on the right hand side of the screen as interest to a discussion that I just answered and on more then one occasion that discussion is older, I have on occasion replied only to realize the discussion was posted so long ago.

We are fortunate to still be able to view and respond to past years discussions. There seem to be no cut off time for discussions here. Even when we consider past discussions as history b ut they are never meant to be stored away and not meet sunshine again. The wheel of mylot discussions continue to spin as long as there are still people reading and responding to them. It is good that people show interest to what we wrote by adding their views .

If you're wondering how others are able to locate your discussion after so many years, this is where the tags come in useful. When myLot members use the myLot search engine to search for a topic they might be interested in, the terms they type into the search field would be correlated with the tags that we had entered when the discussion was started or responded to. In fact, when I want to find discussions that interests me (even if the discussion was started a LONG time ago), I rely on the myLot search engine and the tags to bring me to those discussions. On another note, I just had a response today from a fellow myLot friend for a discussion that I started 5 years ago when I first joined myLot. Having friends look up your discussion-started list is another avenue that may help get responses to your old discussions. Honestly, I am still thrilled to receive a response after so long even though the discussion might have already become irrelevant today.

People find discussions through a variety of ways. MyLot often suggests discussions on similar topics to ones you have posted or responded to. It doesn't show old those discussions are.

Hi dpk! Well, it's good to be remembered - hee hee! I like revisiting discussions - particularly if it's mine. I forget all about them honestly especially it's been too long, so it's nice when the topic is brought up again. I know, I know, and how do you react to replies to messages that take so long to get to you? I actually did start writing - then when I had to step off the computer for a moment, my child closed the entire window by accident - ahhhhhhh!)

I think this might have happened to me once or twice. My first reaction was like, I didn't know what to respond to it or if it is still something worth discussing anymore especially if a long time has passed. Still, I'd have to say that I still welcome those comments or responses and would still love to hear what others think. Maybe they came across your discussion just now, probably because they used the search engine and were looking for a particular topic that interest them. And your discussion might have popped up. I used to do this, but if a discussion seems obsolete in a sense, even though it tackles something I might be searching for, I try to look for other discussions instead.

Just the other day, I responded to a discussion that was over 6 years old. And I know from the way I get responses to my discussions that every new comment makes the discussion like-new (moves it to the top of the 'my discussions'-list & sends a new email if the starter has email-alerts turned on for that).

Deepak, good to know that you got comments to your comments after years, really it is a great thing and you must proud about it. May be the persons are not active here and busy with their offline activities, so they don't have time to reply to your comment soon, but they are giving importance to your comments and reply to them. Some times i find some replies to my old topics, but till today i don't find any later comments in this sort

Hi friend! Every once in a while I get a response from an older post. It is weird. I wonder how they even find them!

Whatever the reason, I like to see a revival of old discussions. I have at times replied to old notifications in my inbox and also received responses to a lot of old discussions. It feels nice that people read our old discussions and take trouble replying them.

Yes,I have given such responses.When I go through the discussions,I find that sometimes the discussions would not have the full information or now that time has past,it would have the recent advancements and upgrades.So I would give it a hand ti write about the recent opinions and thus if anyone else searching for the information would not only get the trend in the past but also the glimpse of the present day happenings in relation to that subject.

hmmm you got one great topic to start the discussion. Today I want complete my unique way and respond on all old discussions. Some 5 years old or 6 years old no matter. I am commenting back in my 2 years old discussions also. I love old conversation with old mylotters friend. jyln,HWG, sunny, fanta, you and more friends.

HI deepak, Different thing appeal to people at different phases of their life. As a child, one likes to play and run, then grows up to do and like mylotting as adult. Things which do not appeal to me now may get my attention after a period of time depending upon my new interests and circumstances. the fact is that people grow and explore different things. Also, people may respond after a break like me though it is not for years but few months.

Hi dpk, One of my discussion got responded after few months. I thought discussion will no more get responded or response commented. May be there are mylotters who try to search out their topic. May be they are real mylotters who are learning as well as earning. Wish them happy mylotting.
