Why no response to the one I posted seriously?

I wrote seriously and careful when I posted my first one on Mylot,but till now no response at all. I don't understand. Are mylotters not interested what i wrote? I'm not a native speaker,so I spent a lot of time on selecting words to express my feeling and the situation coz I hope readers can understand what I really want to express. Unfortunately,two days later,no response at all. Why?

You only have three friend so it's likely that not many people even saw your discussion. Add lots of friends, and lots of interests, and it will happen. Also, the weekend is usually much slower than during the week.

I would have to agree. The main reason why people didn't reply to your post is simply because they didn't see your post. It would really matter if you'd have more friends and you were able to post it at the topics they belong since this would be with other's interests. Good luck! Don't worry, all of us have discussions with zero responses. =)

I am very sorry that you have gotten no response! I am sure it has nothing to do with your language skills or the topic! You have to be aware that there are so many people on here posting discussions and responses, it is really easy to "disappear" in the middle of that! The only thing to do is keep posting discussions, and get plenty of friends. When the people are on your friends list they can get notified when you start a discussion. This way you get more responses too! Keep posting! Good luck!

Thank you so much for your explaining and encouragement:)I understand more and feel better now:) I think what I should do is working hard on this. By the way I have a question,the number in the five-pointed star before your name,what does it mean? In the beginning I saw someone posting thousands of has a 9/8 in the five-pointed star,I thought that's related to how many mylotters posted or responded.But seeing yours I think my thought was wrong.Could you pls tell me? Thank you!

Sometimes that happens. Don't take it personally. There are so very many discussions on mylot that sometimes it takes a while to get a response. It has happened to me too. Just keep posting and responding and pretty soon, people will start looking for your' discussions. I hope this helps!

it takes time to get to be known here on mylot, once people know you better and see you around they will start posting more, you will see.

I don't respond to many posts because the topic doesn't interest me, its been posted in an area that I never visit, or its just one of too many. Being from China you should be able to relate. While we all have some common interests you will find that the more topical the subject is, the more responses one will recieve. Like today I find myself responding to the whiners, those like you who honestly feel left out. It is humbling to realize that our concerns can get lost in the mix isn't it? Perhaps Mylot could have a catagory for beginners so that everyone can learn what it takes to make A good discussion. I really don't see too many here, just information trading or social backslapping. By the way, I live in an area where eathquakes are a daily occurance. Sometimes I feel them but most times I see the water ripple when no other movement is discernable. Then I hear about them on the news if they do more tham wiggle. Did you feel the earth quake?
