I posted a discussion that got over 60 comments! I usually average between 10 and 20. But its taken me a few days respond to the comments. Actually I love it, its just taken me kinda long time. I have seen some of my Mylot friends average between 40 and 50 comments. Guys how to you keep up?

Congrats on your large responses! That is the main reason why I do not start very many as I am one of those who does get a lot of responses. I do enjoy commenting back and even furthering as many boxes as possible. It is a lot of fun as we get to know the members a bit more each time. Basically, how I always keep up is that I keep the tab open on a current discussion and refresh it from time to time so I don't miss any responses. I then also check my email notifiers to make sure I did not miss one. lol Keep up the great job!

Is it bad or let's say rude to miss a response? Because sometimes I don't comment on my responses because sometimes I run out of words to respond to everybody. I don't have as many responses as you guys! Must be really hard to keep up.

I think as far as MyLot goes we are supposed to respond to our responses,lol. That way it is an actual discussion. But its also kind like a unwritten respect type thing. But I totally know what you mean about running out of comments, especially if it's something with a short answer or sometimes there is just really not a response needed. In that situation I just put thanks or thanks for responding, I think it helps with our rating and money also.

An average of 10 to 20 is really good. True u may not be able to reply immediately. U can do it at ur convenience. I normally get 10 to 15 responses average. Some discussions I get 30+ and in a few 5+. it is ok.

Well, personally it is harder when you get a lot of comments back on the discussions that you start here, but personally for me I find it more interesting. As there are so many different types of people here from all parts of the World and different walks of life you can learn a lot from each other. I actually enjoy the discussions where I have a lot more people here to respond back too as it helps me know others are interested in what I am having to say.

hi as an older member here I do get a lot of responses so I check the day I make a discussion and respond right away,then check daily as its easier to comment back on three or four than ob twenty at a time. Also IO try not to make so many discussions I cannot have time to comment on all the responses. after all these people all took precious time to respond to me so I must respond back with a quality comment.

Yes, I agree with that last part especially. I don't mind if the responses are short or long and heartfelt...I get both and appreciate both. I like hearing what people have to say and I want to respond well,as well! How long have you been here?

It's pretty rare that I get that many, so congratulations! 15 - 20 is more like it most of the time. But it just depends on the topic, how many people are on when you post it, friends, etc. What I find funny is that sometimes I will post what I think is an absolutely brilliant discussion, and it will hardly get any attention. Anyway, I don't know how I keep up, I just do. If I don't have time to do all of them, I come back later. But I usually do my responses first, before I go to other people's discussions.

I do mine first also dawnald before responding to or starting a new discussion. I feel that if people take the time to respond to my discussion than I should take the time to answer them first before moving on.

hmm, I looked at your discussions, they look good to me! Sometimes I don't get so much. About a week or so ago I posted one about a funny video on YouTube. I thought the video was precious and funny, it was about a dog, sorta. I had showed it to my youngest daughter, husband, older son and his friends and we all just loved it. So I thought I would share it here also. It got 0 response posts! Looking back I think I should have given it a different name. neway, thanks and good luck to you as well!

It's impressive to have a discussion with that many responses. I have a hard time keeping up with any number of them. but the idea about keeping an open tab is a good one. I'll have to try that. I don't type very well and that may help reduce the time but it won't really improve my typing skill, only time will do that.
