Today I was sitting here and thought oh I have some time I should go in and check out mylot and see what is going on. I ran across a topic on imaginations and it caught my attention so I decided to go in and respond. Once I did that I decided hmmm wonder what other discussions this person has started and while in their page I noticed that they had started several really good ones so I went and hit several of their topics with responses of my own. I think I did close to 10 if not more. I do this from time to time I will find a good topic answer it then check out the other topics the person has started and just stay on their stuff for awhile and before I know it have responded to several. I do this to my friends list as well. Does anyone else do this? Do you venture away from you friends list and the normal way people do mylot? Or am I nuts? But then agian being nuts or crazy isn't to bad...lol

Yes I do that sometimes when I've responded to a discussion which is of particular interest to me, I then visit the profile of the person who started it and see what other discussions they have started, and also look at some of the discussions they responded to. When I do this I may find discussions and people I had not seen before. I don't stick only to discussions my friends started. As far as I'm concerned we are all friends here at myLot and I look for topics to respond to under my own interests and in new discussions. When I have been offline for a long time I will take a look back in the lists to see if I missed anything of interest to me. When I see posts about not being able to find any discussions to respond to, I wonder how hard that person has looked. I always find something to respond to, but maybe not in the latest lists, sometimes it could be a discussion which has been around for a while and I had not discovered it before.

yep yep no one should complain that there are no good discussions to respond to they just need to take the time and look and not just skim the surface.

Nah, you're not nuts. If you are then i guess i am nuts too. I do that all the time. I think it's a great technique to be fishing for interesting topics. I have bookmarked a lot of profiles already. These are profiles from people who own some of the interesting topics i couldn't find on my tabs. I've bookmarked you by the way, and only on page two. More pages to go! You might want to check mine as well. Lol!

I get bored really easy so I have to change things up a bit to get my interest going. I try and respond to everyone who has responded to my discussions first. Then I will keep an eye on the discussions I responded to and post more there. I try and make sure none of my friends have 0 responses, and usually you can find something to say about a topic even if you don't know it well. Sometimes I can't even find the words to say to respond. I will hit all the tabs and answer one or two from each one. I haven't gone to anyone's page and answered like you do. I will have to give that a try too.
