Many people prefer short discussions. But the long ones don't have answers. It's a shame because some of them are so interesting.

If they are interesting I will read long ones. If they haven't got my attention in the first paragraph I may not bother with the rest. Regarding writing long ones - I just say what I want to say and if it turns out long, I'm not bothered. People can read it or not, but I'm not going to leave things out just for brevity's sake.

Sometimes we say what we need to say. I do the same.

I had been on sites where longer discussions were the norm but here it is the short ones that score and are intended. Some even post one sentence and expect others to respond but that is not fair in my opinion - siva

I agree, it's not fair. Long discussions don't receive many answers. What sites have you used before?

Most people prefer short discussions. But many long discussions are very interesting.

I don't mind the length of the discussion. I go through them if they interest me. And if I feel I can comment, I do it. Some don't make sense to me or I fail to understand them and so I just leave them without commenting.

If they are interesting you answer to them. I had noticed very interesting discussions with few answers. They were long, but very interesting. Few people answer to long discussions. And it depends on the member who posts the discussion. Some members receive many answers, no matter how long or short are their discussions.

It depends entirely on the discussion. If it's interesting I don't mind long ones but if the first few lines don't pique my interest I move on.

I think it depends on the member. Some members post long discussions and receive many answers.

@dya80dya the actual content is also important.

It depends on the topic. If I am interested in the topic I don't mind reading long discussions. If I read the first part of a long discussion and don't find it interesting I might not read the rest.

@dya80dya Yes, some members usually receive many responses. The topic also matters. Some topics are easy to relate to and easy to write about.

In my opinion this depends on the member who posts the discussion. Some members receive lots of answers, no matter if their discussions are long or short.

I agree. Few people read long discussions. Or can I say that few people read discussions?

I think medium length ones do well. Longer posts can be okay as long as the subject is interesting and especially if it's broken up into paragraphs. One really long post that just goes on with no breaks makes my eyes glaze over.
