Did you experience since you start posting here in myLot that no one respond your discussions? In your own opinion, what is the reason behind why nobody like your discussions? Can you post your posted discussions here and let's talk about it? I have some post that no one respond on it and i ashamed to myself why no one made a mistakes to comment on it.
Happy myLotting!

Hey there!
Firstly have you thought of asking a friend to help yuo out and resolve your problem? 
Now back to the question! There are toomany discussions in the first place and many are repeated topics. I start very few (one so far this month and four last month) and they all receive responses. However I comment back to ALL of those who respond on them. I then go back and comment again if they respond back and sometimes it gets very lenghty but it is great fun. I then make a point of responding on a discussion by all those who respond on mine. That is why I do not start many. It takes time to do all that and do it with interesting response
Anything there that might be useful?

Yeah mee too I dont start a lot of topics too often as most topics have usually already been covered. Its best you spend more time responding and commenting on both your discussions and others than starting topics. Its very rare that you start a topic and nobody hasnt talked about it.
Sometimes it could be that you may have posted a discussion in the wrong group. For example your discussion is about money and you post that in life instead of make money group so its most likely people wont respond if you put your discussions in the wrong groups..
Cheer up though, dont worry if nobody responds.. its most likely they havent seen your discussion yet or they dont have anything to say about your topic so dont take it too presonally that nobody likes your discussions.. happy my lotting xxx

Never give up hope too!
I had one discussion which was hanging around for 1 whole year with no responses at all. Then a dear friend went and fished it out and... 2 pages of responses in a week 
Life is strange at times offline... MyLot is NO different

Wow a very interesting idea and advice. Yes it's hard to think any discussions to post. But in your experience such as comment back in times somebody leave a comment is useful and to eliminate copying and posting the same discussions. I found out that most of your discussions earned more than 50 responds.

It's because they don't interest in my discussion, and my discussion in first section doesn't see by anyone. We have to know if nobody online in one interest, there is a lot. It's good for you to think this discussion, I though it defend what topic would be nice to discuss.

It's not happen when I was new, just because they have put a link so the comments is loss. From now on, I am always use search first before posting a new discussion. I even sometimes not get any notification from myLot, then I check all my responses and all my started or other discussion. This take me a lot of time with just read and read.

I have never had a discussion that didn't get any responses. I think it happens alot of times, when it gets pushed down the line of new ones.

Hello,
That could very well be, there are lots and lots of people joining My Lot by the hours, so the disscussions has to go some where , I think that is why they get pushed down, and people have to scroll to the next page to read them.
Happy My Lotting!

Its no matter to feel like that...at times it happens that your discussion is posted at wrong time when many are not there online, many times your friends are busy to notice your disucssion, or maybe the thing u wrote was already discussed many times, so no need to feel ashamed, when there are many active friends of your sa round its fun to start discussions, earlier i had many good frinds here, and we used to reply well to each others discussions, now they are lost somewhere, so i respond mostly, as i dont find the newbies replying with that same spirit as my earlier friends used to do....so i dotn think myself low...i enjoy responding and earning well !!!

When I post discussions that get 0-2 responses I feel nobody had anything to say about the subject. Regarding your discussions, july -- when they are about making money online I don't respond because I don't have anything to say about that subject. It's nothing to feel ashamed about!

Hello Joyce,
Thi sis a excellent way to look at it, people simply comment on the disscussions that intrest them or they have answers to, some people simply just don't know what to say about a disscussion and they rather, read what others has to say rather than comment.
Happy My Lotting!

At the moment, I don't have any unresolved discussions.
I've had some discussions with no response, but they were on topics people really don't care, such as environmental activism or east-European football. Another reason why I get very little response to my discussions is that I only have a few friends on myLot... Also, I haven't been active during the past months, so even the few friends I have might have forgotten me....
Anyway, if you want your discussions to get at least one response, send me a private message containing a list of the links where I can find those discussions (just copy and paste the address of the page the discussion is on).

I got only one or two posts that got zero responses. But eventually they got responded to although it took a year for one of them to get any reply. If something is too specific and noone can give an insight about it then it won't get any reply.
There used to be a link in our profile about our discussions with zero responses and I used to go there all the time. But now it's disappeared.

So far I have not had zero response to my discussions and it is all because of a good network of friends. I am thankful to my dear friends who never tire of coming to support my discussions. No matter how mind boggling my discussions are sometimes they will never disappoint me and sure be able to fish a handful of responses. They are many reasons why discussions does get any response. The timing of your posting may not be right as we are all in different time zones. The friends you have may not be supportive and also the interest chosen are not those frequented by many people. So you need to do postmortem to find out the real reasons why your discussions are not well received.

Maybe they dont know what to respond to the discussion. Coz for me even if im not interested with the topic but if I have something to say or share I respond to it. But if I cant think of anything to answer to the discussion i just skip it.

Sometime the people on the Lot when you write your Post are just not interested in that subject. Sometimes you just get unlucky and Post at a time when there are very few people on the Lot at all. Then your Post just slowly gets pushed further and further down the line until it disappears into the never never land of O Posts.
Most people have at least one O Post in their history. Don't feel bad. Just do a Post asking people to respond to your O Posts. I have done it for my friends before.

I have noticed and understood that I'm not creative enough to make some good discussions. I'm not losing hope, but I don't wanna try to make any either. All the discussions that I made have got very few responses. I made most of the discussions with the idea of getting to know what people thought of those things about which I made the discussions. But looks like very few people have a notify on for me and even most of my friend's do not respond to the discussions that I make.
So I have stopped making discussions and I have decided to respond more than make discussions. I make one or tow now and then, but that's all and don't really go overboard with making discussions. I like it what way.

Yeah, several of my topics that I've started have no replies. I guess the only thing I can come up with is that no one really had anything to say about those particular topics. Or at least not enough or something.

I have many many discussions when I first started here at Mylot with zero responses, they are annoying mainly because I can't award best responses and there they sit useless, that is why I wish we had an edit button then I could delete those discussions because they are not much good and I am sure they are taking up space on Mylot's server. Fortunately I never get discussions with no responses now, so I count myself lucky but when I see the discussions I did start they were pretty weak so I understood why no responses were made.

Hi there!
I have some topics that didn't received any response. Before I used to be bothered by it but now I felt it's ok cause it's not only me who experiences it.
There could be several factors for a topic not to receive any responses. It could be because the topic isn't that interesting and that few people can related to it. One big factor that affects posts to receive responses is the time and day. Sometimes we make posts when a lot of people are still sleeping or it's the time for office work. Sometimes few members are online too making it less possible for your posts to be read.
Whatever the reason could be why my posts didn't received responses is not important to me anymore. I am still having fun here.
Ciao!

Yes, even I have some discussions which have no responses. It is lying there, I don't know what is to be done with them. I think the discussion was not up to the mark to garner response from anybody.

Ah, I can remember when I was having 4-5 discussion with no response but now, I have at least one response to those one. Zero or one, it is the same feeling, isn't it?
I don't know the reasons behind it, may be the topic didn't get noticed by many or even didn't look at them because hundreds of discussion are made every 10 minutes, isn't it?
If you have 100+ active friends who are using notification for your discussion, thre is a less chance that you will not be able to find any respone for your discussion.

Yeah, i did have such experience. I joined myLot two weeks ago, but most of the time i'll just commenting on others' topic and started a few topics of my own. So far I've a topic which hs zero response,haha. Feeling a bit disappointed, but i think it's quite normal here as there're so many topics posted here everyday, every minutes. It's hardly we can find a topic which is fresh new.
Actually i was wondering too the reason why nobody is coming and comment on my topic. What i can only think of is that maybe that topic is not interesting enough? or maybe nobody sees it?hm..or maybe nobody has something to say on it.
Anyway, don't give up starting new topics! You won't know when your topic will get lots of comments and being one of the "Top Discussion" of the day.
Haooy myLotting! :)

Hello,
I have noticed, that people like to talk about things that excites them, I have also noticed that people like to talk about things that they need answers to themselves, now don't get me wrong there are other topics people like to talk about, so that is where your creativity has to come in. I have noticed there has been short and simple questions ,that was asked and there where many replies to the disscussion I was really shocked!
Happy My Lotting!
