It seems to me that ....

A few of my comments and responses were ignored. It could be they don't like my posts, they prefer to response to their friends posts, they don't want me to ask them to be my friend. Anyway, everyone has a right to choose not to response for reasons known to themselves.

Hey there Crazy, It happened to me to for some uknown Reason, just keep sending out good Discussions and soon they will find their way there. I for one have your Notification on. So I get a Mail when you put out a Discussions, bear with it, it is just how it goes on here.

I think that it's because most of us who have been here for a while are busy answering discussions started by our list of friends, and that can become pretty consuming. I generally go through and post in my Friends discussions whenever there is something that I can contribute or if I have an interest in the topic. Then if I have some time I will answer some new discussions. Just keep posting and you will get "noticed"! It will help to post good replies in discussions of people who have been here for a while. Most people who are older members read and rate all of their comments.

i think they dont ignore the newbies, but i saw a lot of members do not reply to the answers, maybe they are busy replying the friends discussions or forget it. sometimes they might not know what to answer

I know that I'm not an older member as I've only been here for a couple of weeks, but can pass on the advise that I recieved when I got here and it worked. I too tried to start discussions and got no responses. Was very disappointed, so tried again still nothing. Someone told me to go and invite a bunch of people to be friends, so I did. Someone told me to get a catchy title, pick a topic that hits a wide range of people and post your discussion, then go and reply to discussions and this will bring people over to you. So I did and, it worked. Since receiving this advise, the discussions that I have started have gotten no less than 25 responses. This isn't over days this is in a single day. A couple have received over 50 responses. I know that it isn't in the 100's but I was pretty happy and felt that I had made it here at mylot. Hope this helps you some. Good luck here at mylot!

Hey...don't think that way, I'm also new here but I think many of the members (the long term members) are not the way you're thinking about them.....I maybe new here but sometimes when I read the responses to my discussions ,I noticed that some who responds are a long term members, I feel good, I thought that even I'm new, still some of them appreciate my discussion....

Well, it might be how the longer term members find discussions to respond to. Me, I have been here four months and for the past couple of months, I get my discussions two ways. 1. From my inbox because I put all my friends on notify. I have a inbox with 600 unread messages to prove that and I am trying to work it down...but more keep rolling in. It is a endless process. and 2. But my best friend sending me messages referring me to a discussion she knows I will like or by going through the discussions she responds to. I like to read what my best friend/adopted sister wrote and often comment to her response. But occasionally, a person that is new will come along and request friends. However, I do not normally accept friends until I have seen that person has shown interest in my discussions also. I will then check out their discussions and start responding to those. So see, it is not that people that have been here longer do not want to respond to newbies. I love responding to newbies. But those that have been here longer are trying to keep in touch with the friends that they have made while here for that time. It can be very busy here at times. :)

Newbies aren't ignored. But most of us who've been here for a while are just picky about what we respond to. We'll only respond to things that interest us that we actually have something to say about. Regardless of whether it's posted by a new member or someone who's been here for months.

I don't ignore the newbies, I just hate weeding through pages and pages of posts, asking the same questions. Those very same questions, most of which can be found just by reading through the FAQ section that mylot provides it's users with. I feel if people can't read through the FAQ section on their own accord and then post horrible looking posts about why this is done a certain way and what not, then I just don't feel like dealing with those people. If they can't read what is right in front of them, then I don't think they should be posting on mylot period.

I like to answer the newbies questions and my friends mostly. I think the newbies need help with payouts. Keep trying to add discussions and don't forget your ranking and star points go up if you go and respond to others questions and post photos under your interests.

Ooh! I wouldn't be so sure about that? How olde must one be fit your categorization? I find new members Posts, often ambiguous, and generally undernurished! Put some meat on the bone, or a little contention. Oldies like a thread of excitement or a touch of humor. Most newbies learn what it takes, and become oldies long before their hair falls out or their pants fall down.

I always check the new discussions, my friends' discussions and new users discussions but sometimes it is really difficult to find something I am interested in and newbies usually don't know what to ask. I mean, I have a referral and she started a discussion or 2 and she asked about the ending of one episode of 1 tv show. So not many people replied because people don't remember all episodes from a show that has who knows how many seasons and then not everybody watch that show so people didn't know what to reply. My referral, of course, gave up myLot convinced that she don't know what to write about. I remember that I made the same mistake at the beginninjg writing about stuff that people didn't care about. A newbie should respond to other people's posts and add them as friends because people usually respond to their friend's posts.
