Welcome back. And mysd is right. If I respond to a discussion and I don't even get a comment or at least an acknowledgement of some kind, I won't respond again. I put some thought into my responses or do some research to answer a question. To be ignored is, in my opinion, rude. There are other discussions I can go to where I get comments. Why stay where there aren't any? Start some discussions and I'll look for them. Happy mylotting!

hi amanandoalexandra you have to have something in your discussion which we can respond to . a discussion is a conversation between two or here maybe thirty people.
and do you comment back on each response you get as you cannot have a conversation with yourself on paper; you must talk back to us who talk to you. if you never comment on however many responses you get you will find we will not come back as we get frustrated when you do not talk with us.
Making comments and not just thanks but valid comments back.Here in my lot you have to make quality discussions then you will get quality responses and do comment back to them. You will receive responses on this. b t look you have to make it interesting and make it a real discussion. you interest us we will respond, do read all the guidelines and all the FAQ's as they will help you to earn here and learn also.

Well you are a started in myLot and you need to make good friends with lots of people to get more responses. Most people do responds to the discussion to the people who reply to them. I think after few days most probably you will get more replies. I also think you need to post quality questions to get good responses. Best of luck.

welcome to mylot
i can say you are newcomer here
even you have 149 post until now..
you didn`t understand the meaning of giving first and then somebody replied it
if you asked why any of my mylotters didn`t appreciate or respond my discussion, had you ever asked to yourself, that ever you respond another discussion??
and the second, had you asked to yourself, is your discussion interesting or common problems for us??

Another good point here. I spend probably more than 90% discussing on others rather than making my own. There are so many out there that it will be impossible not to find one that is already started. Plus why start your own if you could find one similar or of one that you have interest in?

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. Don't worry, some time good topics will get replies after a while, don't delete your account for this silly thing. Mylot is a great place to make a lot of friends, try your maximum to make lot of good friends in this site, surely you will get more replies for your topic. All the best

If our friends can't relate to the topics of our discussions then they won't respond. Having a lot of friends is not synonymous to many responses.

I don't reply to my friends just because they are my friends. . . I reply because I like whatever they're talking about and I could contribute.

do not feel bad about it. it is just like life, sometimes you won and sometimes you will get things badly. it is just normal i guess. but it will differ on how we brought this thing to surpass this kind of obstacle. you are now making your way heading up to success, so why surrender? like you, i encountered shortcomings in here also. i am upset about that but i would like to carry and bring it on. one thing should remind you, are you particular in tagging your discussion to any different keywords or phrase. if it is existing, your discussion will be put in there and if those interests-seekers would find it, they will respond to it if they are interested. as everyone else is saying, make a good discussion that could relate peoples lives. or yet, like you before i was not able to attract joiners of my discussion it was because, i started it to the general discussion and not to any interests. i guess, tagging your discussions and putting it in a kind of interest displayed this to the members who sought topics which they can relate and interested to be part of it.
hmmm... never give up... no guts no glory

Do you really want to know what I think?
I think that you are totally wrong to hold us Lotters to ransom and stomp your feet like a tiny child saying 'or you respond on my topics or I'm not playing anymore' Especially when it is not our fault that your topics do not receive responses but your own fault entirely!
Do you know what a discussion is? Just in case you don't, I will explain that it is an exchange of opinions between two or more people.
I checked your started topics and, those are not dicsussions. The ones that have received responses got no more activity from you which means that those who responded felt that they were talking to a brick wall. That's not a nice feeling and they will have remembered how they were treated and it is unlikely that they will return to your next topics.
You can go back and comment to all of them and that will make them reappear in the lists again and they might even receive more responses. Then youmight see those people responding on your other topics too.
It is up to you but please don't do like so many others do here and blame others for your own mistakes

thank you for your comment. i do appreciate it. i know it is my fault and i should not pass the blame to others. i just envy those mylotters who receive more responses. its just that, i feel that i am not welcome here anymore after a long silence, so i made this discussion to prove that there's someone still care to respond. and its you. and youngave me reason to stay. thanks.

I didn't respond with the intention of making you stay but of trying to make you realise that, just like in any party, if you sit in the corner instead of joining in with the fun, then of course you are not going to enjoy your time like the others there will be doing.
It takes two to tango so pull up your socks up and get busy!

I am sorry to say that it is silly to stop using the site for the reasons you stated. First you should start a valuable and interesting discussion if you expect responses. Secondly, tehre is no need to start a discussion to earn money and be active - you can answer to other people's discussions. Then there are also the tasks. Mylot is a great site and most people say so not just me.

The 'problem' is another. This user had already started 'valuable and interesting' topics for dicsussion and they received responses too - but then they never went back and continued them, furthering the topic by commenting to those who responded
It is not enough just to start the. We have to keep them moving forward too.

They are indeed. There was no point in starting this one and then not keeping up with it either.
Unless they think that they are earning fow what we are doing

I'm so sorry. Well if nothing else works, there are days you got come back here just because of the money then. I don't always get tons of comments in discussions either but try to not make that your goal, just go back answer those who answered you and repay the favor and then just keep participating on other people's discussions with subjects you like.

For me, I started mylotting and only get a few responses. It's perfectly normal for someone new to not receive a lot of responses. My advice would be that you have to make a lot of friends so that your friends can see your discussions in the mail. And also always keep the discussion exciting. Reply to your friends as much as possible and keep the discussion alive.

Add more people in your mylot network by adding friends here in mylot and more people will see your discussions and more people will comment on your topics. That's it.

You have responses already in this discussion.
It really depends on the topic you have for discussion. For many months now, I do have a lot of discussions with decent number of reply, but just recently, one discussion of mine fell to the no response category.

I think you shouldnt feel bad about it. As long as you keep active in others discussions, i guess that should be fine. People not entertaining your discussion neednt be because they are indifferent to you. Mylot is a community where people dont show such attitudes. Post some general discussions on common topics and then people would flock in to reply. Just see how many people have come her to be a part of the discussion you have initiated.

Firstly welcome to Mylot, having a warm invite is important to know that newcomers do belong and are welcomed. You haven't been here long, believe me it does take time to build up a following of Mylot friends. When I first started about 6 or 7 years ago now I had little or no responses too, but the trick is NOT to give up! It's like a wall, you build it brick by brick and soon you too will be established, people will like what you discuss and will add you to their friendship, you will then get noticed and then you will start getting response after response. Please don't expect this over night as you will be disappointed and please don't give up Mylotting. I love it here, why else would I stick around for so long?

well for someone who only have a hundred and something discussions, i think it is too early to stop. See, when i started here i had that same perspective as you do but then i noticed that some mylotters here seem having fun and are indeed having fun. I observed and found out that some who are really staying here not because of the earning, or just for that.. they are also here because somehow they were able to build friendship. They join other people's discussion, joke around..and totally discuss. So i guess if you would do that too..comment back, say back things which are on your mind, then you will have fun and start having more responses.
