I hate being the 11th responder and over

Sometimes I won't respond to discussions with more than ten replies unless it's something I feel strongly about. Not because I won't get a response but because everything that can be said, probably has. If I feel very strongly about it I'll go ahead and respond because if just one person reads it I might change a mind or educate someone. It's nice when the author of the discussion acknowledges me but I don't respond contingent on their reaction. I do know how you feel, though. It's like being in the back row and trying to get someone to see you.

Grow up Renhard! We are all getting that treatment and with time you will get to ignore such slights if I might call them that!

I normally will comment back to everyone who responds to me. I hate when I respond to a discussion and get no answer. It makes me feel like my answer has no value at all. I wouldn't do that to people. Sometimes though I don't get the notification which is not my fault. I'm not talking about lately..I'm talking about before the myLot glitch of no notifications. I just feel it's kind of rude to a point and most people who don't comment back I tend to not respond to in the future on their new discussions.

Sorry to hear that. I usually won't mind to be in the first page or second page, as long as I contribute my effort to that particular person's discussion. I can't always expect them to respond my comments, nor I would always have time to respond every single one to my discussions. I just would do the best I can here.

When I start a discussion, I see to it that I read ALL the responses and I answer most of them. I also comment back to the responses that I had made. Most of us here isn't receiving notifications so I don't have a track of the responses that I had made and I can't comment back. Thus the lesser discussion thread now. I wish that most of us here are like that. Mylot is a discussion site and it is fun that way that we are discussing. I am seeing that myLot is "under construction" now repairing the glitches. I did receive some notifications and I hope ALL of things will be back to normal here. Happy myLottings!

That not only happen to you but most of us here. If you respond in my discussion i will reply back even you are 100th responder but you should patient maybe i will comment your responses after several week. Hehe.

As long as you're bringing something to the discussion that's worth responding to,then you deserve a response...the "Me too" type of thing is frowned upon here,but a genuine,thoughtful answer should be appreciated and commented on.

I don't mind responding on one of the first 2 pages of a discussion. Beyond that, I figure that I really can't contribute any more to the discussion. At least I will have put in my penny's worth.

I think that the situation will improve somewhat now that the notifications are back. However, there will always be some people who either don't comment back at all or only respond to a few responses and, then, seem to run out of enthusiasm for the discussion.

I know what you mean, as more and more discussions are started, our discussions are moved down until they are no longer on the first page. I feel though that if my discussions are interesting enough, they will seek them out and respond. I have had responses to discussions of mine that are way down the list, but still getting responses. It all depends on the individual, as some won't go down to many pages before the move on to other interests. I have done that myself, but I will respond to discussions, that are on the tenth page, if the discussion interests me. I just keep going until I can't find any others to respond to that I am interested in, and then I just move on to a different interest, and start over again. Take care, and have a very good day.

This happens to most of us here and I use to wonder then when my response was being skipped while the others were commented back. I concluded that maybe mine was not fitting enough and had no choice but respect this. Now if ever my response is not commented back, I don't let let this affect me but if this is done by the same user for more than a couple of times then maybe I'll just avoid being involved in any of his future discussions.

Well, I think the problem is a little bit solved. Maybe it's about the glitch we're having so no email notifications sent and maybe that happened just after you responded. And sometimes people won't bother to look at their own discussions just because they don't get any email.

The past few weeks have been a bit weird without the notifications, I didn't get many responses either. The second page is forgotten sometimes, that is true! Even in my own discussions, I might forget about it sometimes! If there is a third page, the second one will still be the most neglected! I can't explain why this happens! Lol

I read all other responses before I post mine. So most of the time I just ended up reading them all and had nothing else to say. To minimize that, I usually just open topics with 10 responses or less; so I'll have more chance to post something and because of that my response usually ended up on the first page.

In all honesty I pretty much always respond to EVERY response to a discussion that I start. Reason being is that it's all about respect. If someone is going to respect me enough to respond to my discussion, I will at least have the same respect to answer them no matter what page it is on. I actually get pretty stoked when I get more than one page of responses because then it means my discussion is a good one!

hi, for me i don't care if where my user is,even i am the last user who response to the discussion because the important for me is to response,share my ideas and opinions and of course to be counted in my earning here in mylot.

I hate it more when my response is ignored when everyone around is getting a response. Like the discussion starter will answer response one, I'm the second responder and I get nothing said to me and they will answer everyone else on the page!! I'm like why do people do that? Its not like I'm a rude person or something, I will never understand that one either...

well it's not a popularity contest some people answer people some don't at all. I answer people no matter what page they are. They don't get paid if they don't answer you get paid if you answer there discussion.

I always hope to be responded back to. Not always will it happen and sometimes it will, when I least expect it. All we can do is give our best and hope someone comes back for us to have some discussion.

I hate that too, like really feel bad about it. I wonder I'd we still get related though If we stay far too behind on the pages. It's kind of weird that the latest comments go on the last page, maybe they should do the opposite? What do you think? :)
