I have all of my friends discussions sent to my email inbox daily and I reply to the ones I have a quality response for. I think they like to send alot of discussions out because they have alot of friends who will respond to them and help them earn more. It is okay with me because it gives me alot of discussions to reply to. Some of the discussions, I have no reply for so I have to pass those up. It is nice to have a variety of discussions here though just in case some of them are something you know nothing about or how to respond to it.

just do as much as you can manage and remember it is meant to be fun as well as a way of earning. maybe just respond to one that each friend starts.

I think that people think that they get paid for the number of discussions that they start. I find that some friends start loads of discussions and in the end I just delete them after I have answered a few as it gets too much.

As a real newbie here I can already tell that it is not the quantity of posts but the quality. Stupid little gibberish discussions with one or two even simpler comments get almost no credit. A nice healthy discussion with your comment picked as best response is a goldmine. I have begun to ignore a few folks already.

I know what you mean- i have certain friends that start a whole bunch all at once - guess they are trying to make more money or post more to bring up their number...who knows. I read through them one at a time and if i am interested i answer if not i delete it, i gave up on trying to answer all of them.
I sometimes do a burst of posts and then i have nothing to say for days...lol

I've experienced the same problem, but when I analysed the topics there weren't many that I wanted to answer, so I deleted them after replying to the few that were of interest to me.

the only thing i can say about the people who start 12 to 15 discussions at once are like my boyfriend, im trying to get him more active here since he is the only referral i have. But they might be like him and like to write and write and write and come up with all kinds of questions.
He has alot more free time to be online then me. so i am trying to get him to write more for here. so maybe they are like him and like to write and ask questions. Its just a thought thou.

classy i have days when i do not have any discussion i want to open so i just respond to my friends discussions
and i have days where i am at full creativity and want to know or need the opinion of my friends here
so i do start alote of discussions..it can even get to 7 or 8..
if it is a specific friend you are talkin about why wont you deal with him/her privetly if you think somthing is wrong here?

oh i hate that too. they are flooding the discussion page. for me its ok as long as all the topic theya are posting are worth reading and responding but most of the time its just nonsense discussion. when they flood in the discussion page it takes me more time to find good ones.
well im still glad cuase tht happens rarely unlke before almost everyday.

I have noticed this as well perhaps not 12 or more but quite a few and I really don't have a problem with it. I think they may have a system where they have all their discussion topics in a file already to go. I'd rather have that than too few.

I hate it when people do that. I feel that you get better replies, and more replies, when you only start a couple a day, at the most. I haven't had that trouble with my friends yet, and hope I don't. I have enough trouble keeping up with my friends topics when they just post a few. lol

Lol, yeah, I just joined this site to see what the income would be like. I'm just looking for a little $ to pick up here and there. But I don't have tons of time to waste, it's not like I sit on my butt every single day, all day long, lol. So I'm afraid if I get too many people on my friends list, I'll just get stuck with a huge list of discussions to go through!
