there are many discussions here and day by day mylot is getting a discussion heaven!!
as we can see there are some discussions with many responses and it means these discussions are interesting. do you think so?
i think so,but i think also; some discussion which are so interesting cant get enough responses.
even some discussions get many responses ,some of them gets nothing.
nobody answer them. but why?
how about your discussions and your opinions about this?
do you feel happy when you got many responses or feel exciting?
or opposite..
do you feel disappointed when you got no response?
please share your feelings with me

hiscujbapro I am hap py when I get more than ten and amazed whn lately I have got as many as fifty because I value all my many friends here. Having mylot friends will help anyone to get responses if your friends like your discussions and I also respond to all my friends and that also helps me or anyone else to get more responses. I do try to make interesting discussions always and not to make anything just dull or insipid. I have never not got any response so I guess I am just lucky.One thing is to value your
friends and when they respond to your discussions do respond to theirs too.This causes them to respo;nd a lot to you an d helps our friendships too.

Grand ma and scubapro I feel happy in any situation get less responses or more response no matter I feel happy when start the discussion but if not get more response then understand the mylotter not like my discussion. I always try to start good discussion but recently I observe only few users join my discussions but no problem because I know others are busy in other work.

It seems like the main 'secret' to getting responses is "topic-selection"---talking about things you like to talk about, regardless of what anyone thinks (but leaving the matter open for comment).
That's why I phrase most of my subject-lines as 'questions.' Apparently, I don't really care what the answers are (or I already 'know' the answer & want to bring all other myLotters to the same one ), which may be why I've got FOUR+ PAGES of unanswered discussions!
I don't try to get more than 10 responses---I think the most I've ever gotten (on one discussion) was between 20 & 30.
What I like is one of the first ten responses to grow into a LOOOOOONG thread ... not that the discussions AFTER #10 should be cut off, but the first ten are more-easily accessible

I am happy if many responded to my discussion . it inspired me then but if it gets less than 10 responses then it still okay for me , no issues have this in my mind that they don't like the topic and not a concern and their interest , so it was nothing for me. I don't feel bad and i will tell myself that one day i will post a good one that will solicit their responses.

It has never been about the number of responses for me. I am happy to just get a few. If I don't get any so be it. My goal is to get my thoughts out there and if people respond that's great. I enjoy the back and forth with people on subjects from my interests. I know many people don't respond to their discussions after someone responds to them, but I almost always respond. It's great when you get a ton of responses, but I so far think the greatest number of responses I have had in a conversation is like 12 or 13, but that's because my interests are varied, and few people tend to have the same interests as me, and if they do they aren't as passionate about it as I am, which is ok. I'm just happy to talk to a few people about something in which we all have in common.

who will not be happy to see that the discussion started by him recieves many responses. so far i have started two discussions one has received many responses and the other has received none. i was happy to see my discussion received many responses it motivated me that i should start more discussions to engage more people. but when my discussion is not responded by any one i only think that i should create even more interesting topics to engage lots of people. so either way whether my discussions receives more responses or not i am motivated to initiate some very useful discussions in near future

hi can I give you one tip to get responses on all yhour discussions be sure to comment back to us when we respound to you as we get sick of being ignored by some and will stop responding to some who do not do us the favor of commenting back when we respond to them.
For one thing do not ever think you get paid for our responses as we get paid for making them not you.so if you wish to earn well on your discussions you must comment back on all the responses you get. It really does pay well..

I feel really excited when I get different responses for my discussions and in my brief life on mylot none of my discussions have gone without a response so far. And I don't think any discussions of any member will go responseless because there must be someone or the other having an answer for that topic or having his own opinion which he wants to share.Maybe it will come a little late but it will come.At least your friends will post something!!!
And the answer to 'nobody answers some discussions, why?' is the very fact that mylot has a large community and peaople are starting new discussions every minute so some of them might get overlooked.

hello scubapro! i would like it very much if all the discussions i posted got so many responses but unfortunately this does not happen all the time.
most discussions i posted this month got very few responses. to be honest it makes me fell very sad cause all the discussions i posted this month contain a lot of knowledge that i wanted so much to share with anyone interested but it seems very few are interested but one consolation for me is that the responses i got all were very positive and very thankful. this is inspiration enough for me to post more and more discussions here.

I dodn't feel bad it just lets me know that on one was interested in my post.
I mean there have been a few post that I have gotten only 2=3 response
but it did not make me upset or feel guilty..I just imagine why I would
feel guilty at all...I mean it is what it is..I just don.t think everyone
is interested in every post...

Although its a good thing if you got lots of responses, it would just be okay if you got few. What is important is that we were able to share our ideas through starting a discussion and at the same time, we have done our part by making time to reply those discussions and comment on our post.
On the other hand, having a many responses means more chances of earning on our part. Well, I must admit that I am also happy if I got more responses. But getting few responses does not mean that your discussion is not a good discussion.
Have a wonderful day!

I think get many responses and get nothing is the same here when we see from our earning, although we get many responses but if we do not give feedback we do not get earning, it is the same with we get nothing. Yes, we get paying if we type and write our idea. Have a nice day.

I am happy if I could have a discussion here from time to time. Even with a few respond will make me happy as well . But of course if there is more, it will give more encouragement . Sometimes, when I see some post has no respond yet and if I am familiar with the post I will respond to it .

I'm new here at mylot and I was excited to start sharing what I believe is helpful to the discussion. I'm sure I'll be much happier is someone replies to my post because it shows I caught someone's curiosity or tweak their philosophy or principles in life. If I would be able to post, I would feel disappointed if nobody cares to reply but on the other hand, I would prefer no responses at all than get a lot of negative responses. :)

It's not about how many responses you get in every discussions that you make. It's how you express what you want to say. If you are happy with you are doing then just keep on making discussions. One day you'll get a good feedback from Mylot users also. Just keep on trying. Good luck

I feel happy if my discussion getting response. Sometimes we just have to remember, that mylotters coming from all over the place, with different interests and opinions, and don't forget different time zone. It could be when you write you discussion, half of mylot population are sleeping.

ibuemma i also was thinking about the time difference,because sometimes i open discussions and get less responses but after i close mylot and then sign in again 4 hours later,suddenly my topic is hit
so i think the time difference is also important

of course getting more responses is the best, though we cannot avoid receiving few comments some time.
It is because mylotters came from different places and having different time zones is one of the reason why some interesting topic gets few responses and other received a lot.
Anyway, don't feel bad for few responses- just enjoy your participating with other discussion and have fun

I have no reason why some of my topics attract many users and some don't I like when I get quality responses as that gives me an opportunity to interact. This site is about interacting with as many as you can and this is possible only if we get many responses.
