Why is it so quiet?

United States
April 6, 2008 11:32am CST
I have been off mylot for a couple of days. I've been working and been too tired to spend my evenings responding to my discussions and comments people have left. For that I apologize. I expected a million discussions in my inbox, but have very few. My notifications are working, but have very few discussions to respond to. Why is it so quiet? Is everyone experiencing a lull in discussions?

I haven't been online as much myself due to it raining all this weekend. Which it is doing right now. It's not thundering and lighting yet though. If it starts I will get off line. Other then that I try to stay online and on mylot.

I wish it would rain a bit here. Its really starting to heat up here in Phoenix. When I go to work in the mornings its already in the 80's. I've heard we could get temperatures up to 126 this summer. I love thunder and lightening and really miss it.

This past week it has been in the 80s here in Florida also. I enjoy the rain here as long as it's not a thunderstorm.

don't know why, but that's true, because three or four of mine, no any responses. I'm keeping online these days, and keeping looking that many of my threads nobody answer.hehe, sometimes, we need cheer up ourselves, we will continue even no any reply.

Oh, I'll never quit just because I didn't get a reply. I know there are all kinds of factors that enter into why people do or don't respond.

I don't know why you find it quiet... I for one have started a few discussions these days, and that's a lot, considering I hardly create any discussions around here.

I usually get up to 300 email a day just from mylot, but have only been getting about 100 a day. Big difference, so I just wondered.

Wow, you get 100-300 emails from mylot in a day? At most I've received was around 50 emails. And that was really a busy day. Usually, I just receive 5-10 emails.

Is that what it is? I guess because I don't do any partying anymore, I just assume others don't either. LOL. I forget there are many that actually still do things on the weekends.

Not so far. I have a lot yesterday, now the number is raised to 860 mylot notifications still unread.. Whew! The oldest is March 25. I have recently replied to the most recent notifications that I will be receiving. I am not sure if I will be finishing up to the oldest notification. LOL. But anyhow, I'll give it a time and read them as long as I have not deleted them yet. Cheers! way to go...

You must reply to them in a different way than I do. In other words I reply to new discussions via my email, but not my responses. I'm thinking maybe I should do that, so I don't miss any of my responses.

Well I know there were a few glitches with the discussion emails not being sent and so no one was getting any notifications for a couple of days and then all of a sudden would get hundreds! I think it has been quiet though just lately, so perhaps everyone is all discussed out and just need a break. Hopefully we will be back to normal very soon.

LOL. Yes, I can see where that might be true. I've posted a few discussions today, but nothing of any note really. Its been hard for me to think of new subjects.

I am still catching up on the flood of emails from March 31 so I haven't experienced a lull just yet.

I think a lot of people like to take time out with their families and friends at the weekend. The site always seems to fall off a bit, especially on Sundays. Also, it's early in the month and members are not too bothered yet about building their earnings for the end of the month, so they take a couple of days out to refresh, before returning. They will be back, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

I also have been off for a couple of days. Now a days I also has not been able to come online every day. Most days I am busy or very tired, but I like to stay and come on myLot as far as I can. I think it is nice to see lots of discussions. I also think the responses to the discussions are decreasing. I hope it will increase in the future. I am also getting less responses to the discussions I have started. The good thing is that the rate per discussions have increased.

I haven't been on much these past few days infact, most of last week. Haven't been feeling too good but doing better now. I have noticed that I hardly got any discussions this weekend which is good in a way because I still have a lot to get through.

I have noticed this too last night seemed especially quite, there seemed to be only a few on here. Perhaps if weather is brighter people are outdoors more, hope it doesn't go even quieter in the summer or it could become a seasonal site! Ellie :D

Yes, the weather definitely could have something to do with it. I guess it only makes sense.

well, in my case, i've been away as i have been under confinement. just gave birth to a baby girl on 17 march, thus not online much. haven't responded much and i saw that there were over 2000 mail in my inbox including mylot mail and others. wow, i'm still trying to look through one by one but it's taking a lot of time. anyway hope everything's going on well with you. take care and have a great day

I have been on line a lot lately and yes it does seem a little more quiet lately. I have not found as many interesting discussions to respond to but thought maybe this is me being way too picky.Perhaps a lot of our members have been really busy and not had a lot of time to post. I unfortunately or maybe not so umfortuneatly have lots and lots of time to post.

Just when I was getting in the groove of answering more posts and I have the time to do it, there is less to answer to. LOL.
