When You Start Discussions

Do you seem to get more friend requests after starting a discussion (like it seems I do?) I think almost every time I have started one I get a friend request or two the next day more so then if I have not done it. I'm not complaining though, I don't mind friend requests at all. In fact I would accept most anyone who requests me as their friend. I was just wondering if it happens to you as well. And have you noticed this too or is it just me noticing too much? I think they are usually mostly newbies as well. Its nice to get new friends...

Yes it does seem like the site is continuing to grow more and more. I'm not sure how many members the site has now, members that are fairly active at least. If I had a decent keyboard I would probably be able to type better and use the site more often.

That's not happening to me... But I think it's because I do not start many discussions; and on the rare occasions that I do, it's mostly responded by those who are already on my friends list anyway.
I think the FR that I receive are mostly prompted by responses or comments that I leave on discussions started by other.

That could be the reason if you don't start them, then not many will "notice" you are here right away if they are new, I assume anyways. I think the newbies scan the new convos more often than us that have been here for almost a year more or less.

Thats is what happen to me also , but I like to get more familiar with the person before accepting . I will keep the request until I see more post from them because I would not want them to just make two post and vanish .

hello friend, yes, I too get a lot of friend requests, but not when I start a discussion, but when I respond to the discussions where in some serious matters are being discussed. I get friend requests from the people who have been started the discussion or from the people who would have been in the conversation in the discussion.
The other instances where i get the request is from the newbies who just send requests and once accepted, then they send the referral links to some of the proven scam sites. Such messages I just ignore.

Yes, I probably get them too for that but I am noticing more and more the times where I start the discussions is when I'll get more friends request in general. Not saying everytime though. I'm happy I get them, as I do not always get many who respond to my discussions for whaetever reason.

I used to see some scam "messages" in my topic but i think their account is delete since long time i haven't seen their message anymore. All friends in my list, i never delete anyone because sometime i am very active, i can post many topics and discussions a day but sometime i can't be active, for instance, this time, i am not very active at all, 1 just post 1-2 discussions a day only because i don't want to do it in the lab in my school while i stay in the lab from morning till midnight.

I don't get to start new discussions much but, I do get friend requests almost daily. :)
I don't mind adding all friend requests and I keep on sending friend requests too. But yes, I think, most who ask for friend requests are newbies. I just hoep they will still be around here in myLot more.

hehe I was not very active in creating discussion. But I get some new friends from my response in some discussion. I am happy to accept any offer of friendship that came to me.

Hi friend, i too get a lot of friend request after creating a good discussion. Mostly mylotters will add us if they are impressed with our discussions as well as replies, while creating topics, lot of persons placing their replies in it and they will send their friend request if they are impressed with our topic

Haha ! Yes maybe you are just noticing too much .I really don't mind friends list here. If someone make a request , i first read his profile and if found good then i confirm.

Yes, likewise.I also noticed when I started a discussion after a day or two it seems that there are at least three that I received as friend's requests. Though, it doesn't matter a lot to me. I just think it as an advantage because before I go to my main profile I usually check my yahoo mail first and then I just see there my friends started discussion so I just pick there , a less hassle in browsing on the tab of discussions.

Yes, I have noticed. I just started with MyLot and I have noticed that if I start a discussion, then someone makes a friend request. I am like you, I will just about accept anyone's friend request. You never know if that person will indeed turn out to be a good and helpful friend. All the best to you in life and on Mylot.

I've noticed that too. Even though I don't start my discussion I still get some friend requests. I guess they see me when I respond to some of the available discussions. LOL. You're right. Most of them are newbies. Yes, we should accept them as our friends. Let's make myLot one big happy family.

Yes I do the same thing with you,I will check the friend request everyday because one of the reasons why I join mylot is to make friends especially the friends out of my country,I think get more abroad friends will make me to understand the world more clearly,and it will bring more fun to me as well.
