here i am, feeling alone and stupid at starting discussions when nobody seems to be here but me . i have lost touch of what time in our country is it best to participate here, the time when most part of the globe is here answering and starting discussions. it is 10 in the morning now, and i have already started three discussions before this, but fifteen minutes has passed and still no responses. this has not happened to me before. or maybe it's just me and my wrong timing. what time is it best to go here at myLot? can you share it to me as well as to other myLotters?

it happens to me often as well... when i start a discussion, nobody responded to it for a long long time... sometimes i didn't receive a single respond until a few hours after i posted the discussion... so i think we just have to be patient... and i never really get lots of discussion when i posted a discussion anyway... take care and have a nice day...

that's not true. i've seen your profile and you have your fair share of discussion answers. i'm even guessing that i'm worse off than you are. i have some good ones, but a lot of discussions which had less than 10 answers. but you're right. we just have to be patient and wait it out. do some other things while waiting for answers

Hello, Kayedanda! I also do not know the right time to come here in myLot. There are a lot of users from United States, so perhaps you would like to check their timezone and compare to your country. Try to use myLot in the part of the night, something like seven o'clock in the evening. I don't worry too much, because if nobody responds right now, all I hvae to do is wait and come back tomorrow. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

yeah. that's what many of you has been telling me. but being hard-headed, i did not come during that time today but only because i took care of my daughter around that time. and so here i am now, at 12:30 a.m. , and i'm again feeling like i'm the only myLot user in the site

Seriously I don't check what time is it whenever I come into MyLot. I do check it every few hours or so and guess it is becoming a habit of mine. Not sure if that's good or not. Haha.

not good if you are like me who should be doing her work online instead of participating here good if it's the only thing you do. but if it has become really the ONLY thing that you do, then it's a bad thing too

Awww! I am sorry, hehehehe.. I really liked the discussions that you have just created. I think I have responded to one or two of them before I see this one. I just got home from a date (whew!), and I immediately turned my computer on even though it was past 8p.m. and I haven't changed my clothes yet. It is a Saturday and I usually go out during Saturdays, that's the only time that I can get out of my bubble! I hope you're not feeling alone anymore. Cheers to you!

i feel alone again right now! it's past midnight and i am still typing away (as i have a deadline very early tomorrow and i can't wake up that early so i'm cramming tonight. hehehe) and nobody seems to be here again. tsk. why do i keep posting at such unholy myLOt hours is beyond me . i have been told that late afternoon till early evening in our country is the best time to go here, but i was busy with my child during those hours that i was not able to go here. err..i did not notice my comment has gotten this long.

Hi kayedanda, since you started this discussion two hours ago, at 10am at your place and the current local here at my place is 12.15 noon so I believe the time difference of the two countries is 2 hours or so. Today is Saturday. School students and teachers need not to go to school early in the morning so I believe they would sit in front of the computer after brunch only. Parents as well could enjoy sleeping until late for they don’t have to get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and to send their children to school. Besides it is also the off day of government servants as well as those who are working in the big private companies. So I believe this is why you get lesser responses during early Saturday morning. Happy posting

i just finished commenting to almost everyone who answered my discussions yesterday, so i'm now kind of just waiting for new answers to arrive. oh well, i guess i'd better answer other's posts, while waiting for responses.

Awwww...I don't really wait for anyone to respond to my discussions so I can comment in return. I leave discussions that I've started for a while, maybe a day or even a week and once I check back, I start replying in bulk. My replies might come a bit late, but hey, it's better late than never! That way, I don't get disappointed at all as well. :)

I used to freak out like you before, few people here in mylot has read and responded to almost same topic like this one, later I learn many things, that there are those whose posts hasnt been responded over a week or worst, a year ago, no one cared to respond. The thing is it is either few or many people could relate a certain topic varies and thus reflects the responses. And one thing, I think would add as an advantage if you wish to generate responses, perhaps we should have many friends as possible, chances are people can see and respond to your post. Another thing we need to consider is that, we all come from different time zones, and with that we have different time to log in, I think 3 - 5 in the afternoon, Philippine time is the best to logged in as there are many mylotters are online, still the best key is Patience and longer patience. Hugs .

your answer jives with allthegreat (above you), so i think late in the afternoon is really the best time to participate here. thanks so much! and now that you pointed it out, maybe people just aren't interested to what i have to say, reason for lack of responses to what i have posted today

hello, i'm here. you are not alone. i always feel the same as you, because nody follow my discussion. i have no idea about best time on line for everyone. for me, of course, it's night. i'm chinese, when i'm in the night, most countries are in day time. there are more people on line. that's just my feeling.

Hey there! The best time to lot here is evening, here in our country. the rest of the world maybe asleep like in the US or other counties. Here in the Philippines maybe they are busy with work at this time, but expect them to come later in the afternoon. As for me I post a lot here around 5 pm till evening. That's the time when mylot is very active as I've observed. Have a nice day.

I don't know what is the best time. When I wake up in the morning I will turn on my computer and sit on my computer chair. Then I open mylot, go out of my room and eat breakfast for a while. Then I read discussions and post responses. I have one discussion that has 0 responses . Maybe my discussion is not interesting. haha. There also some time that There is no new discussion and 1 hour has already gone. I don't know what is the best time.

I know how you feel. This is going on here nowdays alot !! ALot.. Mylot is suddenly lossing alot of people here. Alot actually. Well dont know here people are. Well there are people here who justtake out discussions just for the heck of earning and never reply back in them. They take out discussions on the most stupest topics and then just go away. Well i guess thats why alot of mylot users have stopped coming, becasue of these newbie people. Well anyways i think mylot has users and alot of them. The best times i think i have recieved replies on my discussions and see people online is around 7 p.m india time which is +5.30 gmt. So do check it out. Well that sall i know about when and when all people do come here, accordingly i sit here :) . hehe. Happy mylotting :)

Don't know what the most suitable time is. Personally, i post whenever i have time, because nowadays i have a lot of things to cope with every day. Now at least you'll get one post haha. Don't get too desperate, I'm sure people will start responding to your discussions soon. have a nice day
