Do you find yourself feeling let down or even wondering if your posts are good enough, when you receive very little or no responses? How do you feel when you thought you posted a good topic, only to get no reponse back? Share your thoughts please.

don't be sad, maybe the people didn't get a real chance to see it.

I think it's a trial and error, we can never be sure of what would others think about our postings here. For me, I just try my best to post what I think is my interest and that I am thankful if others would respond to it also. But I also make sure that most of the discussions that I start are with good quality, and I start discussions every other day and only two at a time. To give more time for others to view my previous posts more, and also for it not to be toppled by my other posts. I think time and the subject title is important to other responders, as I also try my best to have my post put up with catchy titles..

I really try as well. I also respond to friends discussions and discussions with no response.

Hai misheleen, see you again. Don’t be upset, at the beginning I also had the same feeling but now I'm quite immune to it. Things to avoid getting 0 response are: get some friends who will answer our new discussions; discussions topic should be general and not to be too specific and difficult. I think timing of posting new discussion also plays an important part. I’m still learning to create new discussion with good quality that can arouse more responses. Good luck to both of us LOL?

yes, good luck to you too. I am not really upset by this, I read a discussion from someone who was terribly upset, so I figured I'd find out how many people were affected this way.

I wouldn't get upset over it. Maybe there just didn't happen to be anyone online that was interested when your new topic hit the page. Sometimes, weeks later, someone will find it when they are searching for that particular topic. If no one ever responds, you might try rewriting the discussion topic from a different angle to attract more attention. There are lots of interesting thngs coming through all the time and no one has time to respond to more than a few.

I know sometimes I respond to a question, while another on the same page peaked my interest, but I can never seem to find it again !!

I don't get sad. I just start another one on a different subject. Just today one of my 0 count discussions got a few. I was happy. Just means I need to try harder.

I always try to go to the discussions with 0 responses and answer a few old ones there, just to bring them new life. A lot of times, after I answer, more people see it, and it gains a new life.

Yes, it makes me sad when I feel I have produced better of myself in the discussion and there is no response . There may be two reason if we are not having any response : firstly the discussion isn't interesting for other people to reply that is the discussion is out of interest for most of people . Secondly we doesn't have enough friends who go through our discussions regularly .

no it doesn't upset me, I was just thinking about a discussion I read where the person wanted to leave Mylot, because she never got mor than 3 answers. This person was very new here and hadn't really given the site a shot. So I figured I'd ask to see how many people felt that way.

Well regarding that I am a mature person and do not mind if I get less response as whatever may be good for me may be not so for others. so it hardly makes any difference to me.

I feel the same way, when I read the post from the other day, I could not believe someone was ready to quit Mylot over something like that.

I think the title is part of the attraction as well.
