why

June 14, 2007 4:25am CST
I'm spending some of my time responding to all of mylot friend's discusions. As the time passed i see that mylot's friends are not doing the same for me. Why? maybe they don't like the subject? As a friend of them i always respond to their discusions,i write my opinion, even if i don't like the subject. Have a nice day to all mylot friends

I try to post quality responses, so I if I really can't relate or have nothing more to add to what has already been posted, then I don't post. I reckon I expect the same from my friends. I like reading each and every response, so if everyone posted they couldn't relate or exactly the same thing as everyone else, it would get boring to me really fast, you know? Now if a friend has had a post setting for awhile with no responses, then I will try to think of something in relation to it to add, just so they can get credit. These are bit more time consuming for me and time isn’t something I a lot of these days, so since I really have to think of what to say, I only do this for those that have been setting for a few days.

oh and a tip, if you don't give your posters a fair shake at best response, that will turn a lot of posters away. I try to let the topic cool off before picking the best response and really reading over each and every one of them. I reckon it's a day or two later after I post the topic before I consider the best response.

usually I've gave a best response to my post if I've found one.

I have made the mistake of accepting too many friends and there is not enough time in the day to respond to all of their discussions. My system is to try to respond to anyone who has responded to whatever active discussions I have, and after that I get on to my friends if I have any time left.

Well, when I respond to discussions, I first respond to ones that they have started even if they do not do the same thing. Sometimes, it makes me think not to but, anyway, at least I have done my part as their friend here in mylot. And when there is no discussion that they have started that interests me, I go to new user discussion or discussion with no responses. That's how I came across with your discussion. Anyway, do not be sad. :) Maybe sometime, you'll get a lot of responses from your friends. Just do not even bother to think about it. Just keep your quality discussions coming. OK? Smile. :)

I try to respond to at least half of the discussions that most of my friends start. But sometimes I just don't have anything to add to the discussions. I don't want to waste my time or theirs by telling them that I don't know anything about the subject that they are discussing. And I also don't answer questions that only ask for a one word answer. I try to only respond if I have something that I can really add. I don't expect all my friends to respond to my discussions either, only if they can add to them.

I have the same problem.I have too many friends here and I dont see most of them coming and responding to any of my discussions here.I think they all have too many friends whom they knows or they are very close so that they dont have time to come and respond to my discussions.

if what you said is true why they aprove new friends request if they close to the friends they already have? What should we do ? must we do the same they're doing?

If I can't think out a discussion to post, then I will like to give responses for my friends' discussions. I can't reply all of them. I will select some interesting and meaningful topics to reply.
