It is so disheartening to find out that no one made the effort to reply to your discusssion which you worked on for over half an hour.
Here are some tips to help you get that 100 responses you so ever covet:
Title:
Have an interesting title. When talkign about Britney Spears, don't just type in Britney Spears for your title. Instead go for Britney Spears---Is she Suicidal? or Britney Spears, In and Out of Rehabs. Notice that the two titles I gave out are titles you would usually find in newspapers or the ticker at the bottom of your TV screens. So to get the readers' attention, create a catchy title. Try to think like a reader. If you were the reader, would you click on a title that reads Are chicken feeds poison? or one that reads Killer Chicken Feeds?
Content:
Always try to be concise. Remember that the people here at my lot don't have all day to read your post. Keep your posts below 500 words. Also, GET TO THE POINT.
Lastly, try to horde off as many friends as possible. Your friends would be the primary people who would answer your posts, so numerous friends would equal to numerous responses. Of course, don't forget to return the favor.

Wow, thank you for the tips. I have been doing what you described, but sometimes I still don't get many responses: maybe five or so. I was surprised when one of my topics got over 100! I was so happy about that. Sometimes I just don't have too many questions to ask so I just answer a lot of questions. I wish you the best and a big (+) to you.
