I really suck at starting discussions.It's very rare that I get a number of responses when I try to do so. My last started discussion confirms it! I guess i really just have to go back and do more of the replying.

When you have something to share or want to discuss it is just to write and post it. There is always someone responding.Anything happens in a daily life is a doable subject.

Ehehehe nice trick to make me come in from my absence and make a post somewhere Come off it! You have some really interesting topics and you know that we spent a long time one Sunday afternoon a few weeks back discussing backwards and forwards remember? I was enjoying it and I would have been on some more of your topics if I had been here, but I haven't as you know Just do what you enjoy doing. If starting topics is annoying because you don't receive many responses then stick to responding and commenting. There are certainly enough topics to keep you busy for a long time without starting any of your own and your earnings will be the same, if not more, if you discuss. It doesn't matter where you do it just as long as you do it somewhere!

Oh! Ms. Diana i missed you! :) you are right, i should go where i do best. Commenting i guess would be best. Hahaha. I'm getting a little bit frustrated. The last topic i had before this was deleted. In the discussion i posted a link which leads to an article on my blog written by mu husband for me. I wanted to share it but since i can't cut and paste and it is a bit too tiring to retype, i just included the link in the text. I know i promised to be good while you are away. I didn't know that it still be considered as soliciting. Anyway, i won't do it again and i'll try to stick by my promise to you that i'll do my best to be good at all times. By the way, sorry to get you out of your hibernation! But i really am glad to see your post on my discussion. :) have a great day!

Why do you think you such at starting discussions? You should stop and ask yourself that. Start discussions that people will want to respond to, make them interesting. Build up your reputation as well by responding to others, it does help. Good luck.

Thanks for the advise. Personally, thinking of topics to discuss here that i think would be interesting to others do not come as easy to me unlike when i am commenting to other's discussions. My replies to the discussion sometimes earn more comments than some of the topics i have started. I guess that's really how things is with me. I'm more into replying. It doesn't mean though that i won't start discussions anymore. I would, from time to time. But i guess i'm type of person whose more inclined into commenting rather than starting topics which will interest others as shown in the number of comments it has gathered.

I think that if you looked at any random profile page, you would see that people respond more to discussions than create them. I know I'm that way, it's like a brain freeze when you can't think of topics to create.

hi Rapuncille I can give you a few hints as i am pretty lucky in getting responses. first the title can lure people in like one I made on seeing a woman in a huge SUV make a right turn in traffic without seeing a young man walking his bike across the street.She really hit him hard and he was thrown up in the air.My title something like this" Nelda, OH MyG did you see that? She hit him! the title teased people into responding. as for topics use you own life, something that is upsetting you, or a p roblem you cannot solve, we are all just humans with so many of the same problems and when we see a discussion that could have come from us we will respond. I hope this helps you a bit too.

Hello Rapuncille, I can tell you that it took sometime for me to get the types of responses I do get. I average about 50 - 80 per discussion, I have no tips friend other then saying that perhaps because I am a heavy responder that members somehow remember me and with the small amount of discussions I have done perhaps when they do see one of my so few that they eagerly respond. There are many variables as to why at times some members do not get many responses, one is perhaps timing, because we must remember that many of us are on different times zones so sometimes when discussions do get started they get pushed down the tabs at times because of the many and therefore, later do not get noticed. Internet lagging's, today for instance I could not log in for 2 hours while others could not do for 4 hours. There was some scripting issue which has occured several times in the last 2 weeks that perhaps many gave up and have not returned for the day. As you can see it is 11 hours since you posted this and some members do not go through the pages the way I did to get to this one. Whichever it is sometimes it works out this way, the idea friend is that you never give up in myLot and participate and enjoy. I do hope that by me responding now, what happens is that your discussion will now go back up to recent discussions and I will keep my fingers cross that when you get back you are flooded with responses. lol Wish you all the best here on myLot!

Yeah I feel reply to discussions are easy than starting one. I have to think for hours about what to ask. Sometimes I don't even bother and just reply to started discussions. I think it's more fun replying to other discussions :D

I totally agree! There are people who is synonymous to a factory when it comes to generating discussions. I wonder how they do that?! Perhaps, it's just innate with them. I guess, it's the same thing with me in person. Sometimes i'm really having a hard time breaking the ice. I rarely start conversations. I love answering though and giving my opinions on certain topics opened to me. I guess, even here, i am consistent.
