Do many of your posts have none to very few responses?

then try to make some discussion to be a interests in others ..make them curios..u must satisfy your clients afterall

seem to have spent hours here tonight trawling through complete and utter rubbish, nice to find someone who want agood discussion

Alot of mine do and I find it rather silly really, all these poll like questions still getting annoying one word answers (normally 'yes' or 'no' - Seriously what is the point in posting that? ::)) but I'd rather get decent replies than lots of stupid, simple, unworthy replies :)

well people tend to respond to topics they find easier and they can tyrpe whatever they want to...

yeah aam having the same problem here.I tried some very very genuine posts and discussions, but received just one-four responses this is unfair......the deal u have started,if u dont mind i too was thinking of starting such a deal....so friend i fulfilled ur demand now u fulfill urs babye!

Yep, maybe it would help if I posted from my interests.

I do not actually post discussions of my own, I am more on responsing on discussions. If i read something I am interested in, then i answer those post.

Yes! I have started some posts that I thought would be very good because they were on subjects that I really care about. Yet no one responded. Then there are a lot of discussions with very stupid subjects that get lots of posts. I really do not understand!!!!

im with you on this. I think the lower the quality of the question, the higher the number of responses they seem to get. I think this is because the questions are much easier to answer, they need no joined up thinking at all. Consequently they apeal to the simple minded and get hundreds of replies. As with an earlier poster, you dont have to reply to my discussions only if they interest you good luck and happy posting

Will definitely check out your discussions, no pressure to do the same for me. I try to help whereever I can and I have found that my discussions get slow numbers...leave them for about a week and they get some responses. I figure as more people find me I will get more answers to my discussions. Am not a fast poster so my numbers grown gradually and steadily. Good luck, this discussion may become the help you seek!

It does happen a lot and I think it's because so many people are posting dicussions all at once that it is difficult to respond to as many as we would all like to. I try to find quality discussions but every time I hit the next button or back it seems like it's been updated and there are ten new discussions. It's hard to keep track of where you are on the list as you scroll down because so many people are using this site now, which, is a good thing.

Yeah, when I actually tried to make a worthwhile post...no dice. Then I put up a pointless continuing story thread...and I finally got some responses. I think it has to be extremely silly or controversial to really gain any attention.

I agree. I think maybe there are so many discussions being started each minute that one that you just started could be off the front page in a matter of seconds. I did ask for advice on how to get responses and so far I was told use tags, post interesting topics and have a friend list. I just joined yesterday so I am learning the ropes and I already made a mistake by posting a discussion twice. live and learn I say.

I'm new here. I've been responding to discussions lately but I haven't started a discussion yet. I plan to when I have time.

same prob is with me.. i will try to checkout urs..

Well I have to say yes I have severall discussions that have very few responses, and or no responses.

Not many, but soem have been pretty uneventful. Don't lose hope though, eventually someone will reply

even some of my posts have very few responses ...but im happy that many of them have good enough replies.

oh dont worry dear... its always like tht!!! the probability tht ours will be answered is very less.... u need to be lucky if someone has to answer ur discussions

I agree. I have posted some pretty decent posts I think. And they may have at the most about 4 responses. I try to post to about everyones post..no matter how crazy the question. I even go to the section of discussions with no posts to help out the people who arent getting any posts. If everyone would do that and just try to help everyone out, we all could probably make more money on here.
