My responses are decreasing

I keep a tab open to the 'recent' discussions. Those are the ones with the most recent activity and it is surprising what appears there I have many notifiers but there is always something in that tab that I would not have seen and would have been disappointed if I saw it months later.

I must agree with you on this one - quality discussions are dropping, I have loads that come in that are just there for the sake of starting a discussion, you just knowI'm actually loosing steam due to such kinds of discussions that are being started but then not an excuse for me though, haha!~How are your topics thingy coming by?

Yesterday I felt that it was slow every where, not just on MyLot but on Gather as well. I was, in fact, able to keep up with my e mail from both plus all the random stuff that also comes in. MysD gave you good advice. I do check "friends started" in case I miss anything while I am else where, and I also check "today's top" and "hot" as well as "recent". If I want to find out if there is more activity on my responses, I will also check "responded to".

Hi dear, It was my habit for a long period that I will look out only my inbox and respond to their topics. But as you said, all the inobx topics should not mean that all are so promotional to comment. Sometimes, the topics may be so weak and we don't feel like comment. I dropped the system of only referencing with inbox, and out of the way, I will check all - todays top, hot, friends started, new, recent, new user, not responded etc. The best part is that when I checked the 'not responded' area, I found so much of interesting discussion and I wondered why people were not bothered such topics. So, keep checking all the areas of discussions and I am sure that you will encourage with interesting topics where you can continue more energetically for more than 100 discussions a day! However, we cannot even predict what we can get nice topics also. So, look around, or search by our interest also, I think the problems can be resolved. Again, doing the same thing for a long period also make us little dizzy due to the repetitiveness. Have a nice day, Thank-s

I don't check my emails anymore since I was absent from myLot for about three months before. Actually, even before that, I don't really look at my email to participate in myLot. I keep myLot open all the time and when there is a discussion from my interest that looks interesting, I just joined the discussion and input something. Sometimes I read the discussions and responses and leave without responding when I think I cannot contribute more. And sometimes I see some of my friends responding and commenting on a discussion and I joined them.

You are not alone. There are times when i just couldn't find discussions that interest me and i would just leave mylot without responding or starting my own discussion. But somehow i keep good friends who can write really good things in here and that keeps me going. Sometimes i would look at those written by people that are not included in my interest or i used the search engine for more interesting topics. That way i can still participate in here.

it's just a matter of choice. when you want a monthly pay out then work for it as diligent as you can. there is no such thing as boring topics. you just don't understand some posts because others don't have a point or stress on their topics. i consider them as with low quality. we have hundreds of posts here coming daily so you can choose that best fit your interest pal. go go go to pay out this month. i am aspiring for it too.

The easiest responses I am able to leave are on discussions that I have started. Other then that when I am searching through mylot sometimes I cant find barely anything to comment on. Other days there are so many discussions that I earn a lot. It also depends on how much time I have when I am on mylot. What I've started doing when I run out of discussions to comment on by looking through all the categories on the home page I go to my friends list and take one friend and read all the discussions they have started. If I see one that looks good I will bookmark it and then after going through all of their discussions I will go and comment on them and then move on to the next friend doing the same thing. Its actually pretty fun to see all the discussions one person has started.

mine too or maybe because my topics are not that interesting..coz honestly i cannot find or create one that is so interesting lately. its either been discussed or boring

Wow.. 80 is really great. I respond to an average of about 10 per day. That too if i see something interesting only. Any way good luck for you to score a century.

If the topics are not to my liking i start a discussion. Sometimes, i would prepare them at my laptop , offline and would just copy and paste it to Mylot. I would always sometimes only start discussions , so more or less i can gauge how much is earned from it.

Maybe your discussions themselves are getting better, being refined in quality; 'suffering' a little in quantity

If they are to where I don't know nothing about what they are talking about or boring. I just pass them up.
