Hope this is not one of them lol.Do you feel angry when people dont respond to your discussions especially those that you put a lot of effort into ?.Or do you take in strides and try to see where you went wrong and how you can improve on the discussion?

hello buddy, well there are many discussions of mine where i have nor received any response. certainly i feel bad when i do not get any responses. i feel like my discussion have not been that thought provoking that it did not initiate a response from people. well and for the part of my lot i would wish they give an option for editing the discussions such that i would modify the discussions where i have not received any responses. and more importantly i feel that the person who started the discussion has not given his heart so that he did not get any responses. have a good day and happy postings.

Honestly I've just started out but I feel that if the topic didn't get any responses then perhaps that wasn't the best time to post that particular topic. I also notice a trend in the forums that you use to post them in. Often if it's a forum that doesn't' have a lot of popularity take 'wolfdogs' for example you are limiting yourself to responses because of the amount of people with that particular interest. With that being said I don't get angry it just encourages me to post a bit more and see if I can find the answer myself if it was an answer I was seeking. So now you don't have to worry about this topic not having a response ;)

i get depressed because and dont want to make discussions again and whats worse is when you see pretty much every other discussion on that page get a lot of responses except you. Now I know that makes me want to curse out loud and I wounder if I have a shield around my discussions lol. But dont feel bad because a lot of people have the same problem I know it seems like every day or every other day we have a topic like this.

I started only 2 discussions, so I don't know, what is it like. I think I would be a bit sad about that.. but than I'd try to find some topic that is interesting for me and maybe for the others as well. As I searced a bit on mylot, I found there would be som topics which most people aren't interested about, but I think sooner or later everybody finds the right people and topics. But of course: it could be frustrated what you say. Best for you

Of course I will be depressed if I have been trying hard to make my discussion appealing then nobody seems to notice it. But I know that what seems to be my likings is not the type of others. So I just leave it if nobody will respond as long as I post what I wanted to then I'll go. If I got lucky to have more responses then the better if not then I'll try better the next time.

It happened to me so much when I first started out that I guess I just grew to take it all in stride. I hope I also learned from thing and grew to improve down the line. At the very least, now I have some friends that I could ask to help me out if I need it. Lol

it does not bother me. i just figure no one was interested or they had nothing to really add to it so they just skip over it. there are alot of discussions that i do not respond to simply because i do not have the time or have nothing to add or i feel it it is too controversial.

there are many discussions where you find there is less responses and also sometimes there are no responses at all but it is common and i use to feel angry before and i use to think what might be the reason but now i think that the reasons might be the discussion we started is not the others are interested into, may be the discussion is gone unseen by the members and they havent responded and this is why the discussions has not been answered and i think to overcome this we need to start a discussion when there are more people online and try it out and i think this would really work sometime and we need to start more of discussions at the same time so that we can get responses for any of the discussions atleast. and i dont think that it is due to wrong discussion or something. there are different people with different thoughts and might be few people are alike and they would surely agree with the discussions made by us and they would respond to it. but only thing is there should be more people who see the discussions and also i have observed that if we start a discussion and put the subject in the form of a question then we get more responses. so good luck and happy mylotting.

you feel bad when your fellow mylotting don,t try to respond the person that writing the post really try hard to post good post iam talking quality about something post.when you see mylotters post good discussion they have really thoughtout the post before they post.you find a mylotter that post a lot discussion and other mylotters don,t respond to them how long do you think they will be a mylotter they will slow down hardly poats are hardly respond and then they will stop all together.everyone has to be encourage and if we are not doing that then we should start supporting other mylotters.most people have excuses why they don,t respond to other mylotters.

I have had many discussions in that category, either very few responses or no response,so, now i have decided only to answer discussions most of the time , instead of feeling bad about getting no responses.may be my discussions are plain boring or the topics i go in for are not liked by the majority of the members..

It is really nice if people respond to your started discussions but if I started a discussion and people do not want to take part in it, I just assume that the topic I chose simply isn't interesting enough and I choose another one.

Don't stress over it. I have had some that got no responses for weeks/months - and then suddenly here comes some comments. It is all about if what you have to say as being popular or important or what others want to talk about... at the moment. Just chat and have fun. Offer some helpful ideas or personal experiences and things like that so we can all learn from each other, help each other and just have fun and get educated!

I really don't care if I don't get too many responses to the discussions I have started, I just go like "oh.. I guess not so many people are interested in the discussion that I have started" or "maybe I didn't make my discussion easy to understand?" now there are some people who just put random junk that I kind of find it annoying to respond to or read, so I just ignore those "junky" responses and go like "what's his problem..?" or "wtf is this -_-" you get the idea. Now please don't hate me for that -0-;; I'm not that kind of bad or cold hearted person, i'm not that mean, usually i'm nice :D well yeah, maybe next time you'll find a better time to start that response again that you have been wanting to discuss, but I just think that it was not the right time for me to start that discussion, or like I said above, maybe some people aren't interested in those discussions.

I don't get zero responses in a discussion, but I often get just a few. I don't really mind though and I don't think it's a big deal, because this is a site with a large community and even topics that I put full effort into and worked hard to think of have the chance that they'll get overlooked among many others that someone else could have put the equal amount of effort to as I did. =P I don't really take this to blame on my discussion or the topic I chose. If I think my topic wasn't that relevant or unnecessary, and if I can see quite clearly where I went wrong, then of course, I'll make more of an effort to improve on my mistakes to choose a better topic next time. ^_^ The way I look at it is: there's many people on this site that look at many discussions, so something is bound to be overlooked. It might just be mine that receives this ill fate, and I don't take it to heart. =P
