How come my discussions don't generate that much response. I only start discussions on things that are of immportance to me and that I feel are a useful topic. I see alot of useless or odd discussions even they seem to get alot of response am I doing something wrong?

I also have the same feeling.somehow i see that my discussions get 3-15 responses.but the number of responses defitneily does not go above that number. I also see that discussions created by a few members in particular - one specific user always generate 20-200 responses whatever be the topics he creates. I really do not know how?Am wondering on that and i even admire the pace in which the particular user gets his responses while i am not able to. My be that he has too many friends in mylot which i dont:-(

Don't worry, people have different views of interest from one to another. You just put the wrong tags or put the wrong interest topic. Keep posting and keep make new discussions. They eventually will come in handy for you.

You are new and it will take a bit of time to become known. After a bit you will develop a group that will visit most if not all your discussions. The more you do the more you can get known. So good luck and happy posting.

You just never know what is going to spark an interest here. I would just keep posting and commenting on other's posts. I don't know how much reading and responding to others you do, but that's a good way to meet new friends and spark an interest in that person wanting to take a look at other things you may have to say. Developing a friends list here is important too as you will find they look to read you and you look forward to reading their thoughts and posts. When someone comments on your post it does throw you back into the recent discussions list and keeps your post visable for a longer period of time. If you notice, the list of just in or new posts moves very very quickly, so if your posts doesn't catch the eye in a few moments it may get missed by so many people. I would give it a better/longer shot -- like wait til you have about 100 posts and see how you feel then. It takes a little time for a new person to "find their way" here and really get a good feel for it. Good luck!

I agree that the responses that are easy and require no thought are the ones that get all of the responses. I find that aggrivating as well. But here is a discussion you could use if you have discussions with few responses... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/968758.aspx
