Exploring MyLot - Have you ever seen.....?

I must admit that on sites I enjoy, I quickly learn to do what I have to and do not spend a lot of time learning the ropes. When I was young I learned to drive and wanted to jump right on the open road immediately.
So with MyLot I still have a thing or two to learn. I finally figured out the "Explore" button. In typical fashion though, I looked at the top top menu items and off I went. Tonight I finally read the whole list (which is as follows):
Interesting Discussions
Top Rated Discussions
Most Recent Discussions
Most Recent Activity
Hot Discussions
New User Discussions
AND.....(drumroll please) Discussions w/ No Response
I may have glanced down the list, but tonight my eyes stalled on "Discussions w/ No Response". So I clicked and "I'll be...." there were discussions with no responses. It made me think is this a distinction and an honor or is it a not so good thing to make this list.
In the last couple days though I started going through the "Interesting" and "Top Rated" discussions and was surprised to find some of my own in the former category. Secretly I want to make the "Top Rated" but that is getting off topic. So now I am thinking about whether I made the "w/ No Response" ever.
Rather than dwell on this conundrum, I decided that my goal is to read some of the "w/ No Response" posts. It may be a great way to find some untracked gems and new territory.
Am I the only one who sometimes skips through a bit too fast? Either way, I am off to the land of no responses.
[The irony would be if no one responds to this post and it ends up....]

@sheng1 Well guess what. As soon as I posted this article, I went to the "No Response" and there it was. So maybe I figured out a thing or two about that tab. Thanks for being the first response and now I have to go check if I left that category.

@desertdawg haha, guess you will help all those discussion threads move from No Response to Most Recent Activity.

@scheng1 Guess you are right. I have already found some interesting things to read there. It's like an adventure and if I knock them off that page...I bet they will not mind at all. Have a great day.

My routine is to clear my notifications first, then go to "Their Discussion" under Follows. After making responses to the posts of those I follow I will then go to "Most Recent Discussions". After that if I still have some time I check the "Discussions with no Responses". That's how I do it.

@desertdawg Yeah, good sorting techniques. I had to prioritize those who follows me since they are the ones interacting most in my discussions.

I oftentimes go to recent discussion, then the top rated and interesting. I'm sorry I seldom go to discussion with no response.

@Macarrosel I think I figured out that all posts must go there till someone responds, then off they go somewhere else. I just got back from reading quite a few and commenting...found some really interesting stuff. Most of them were pretty "fresh" it seems.

I go through the list all the time from top (Interesting) to bottom (With No Response). I like to be the first responder on discussions I'm interested with. I know I can catch those in 'Most Recent' category, but sometimes I'd still find a few of them that have been buried in the 'No Response' for many hours.
