Do all those in your friends' list give response to all your discussions?

lol @ 'huge volley of returns'

I know exactly what you mean but golly gosh that does sound dangerous! Sounds like we need ambulances on the sidelines ready to pick up the casualties

Hi thea, I'm sure you have come for the first time in my discussions. We get to know friends only when we add them to our list or look into their discussions. Even the mutual interst or even the manners we come to know only when we have contacts. We cannot make out a person with the avtar or the first response they gave to our discussion in disagreement. Everyone have to be given a chance. Even those we add as our friends don't respond who else will do that?

Well a lot of my friends do respond to mine if the subject interests them, as I do with theirs. If someone is on my list and they churn out discussions I have no interest in then I remove them and add others who fit more. I think it is really good when we can stumble across someone in a discussion, maybe we were both respondng to someone elses, and know at once that we'd be likely to get on. But I see no point at all in the constant slew of new F/R's which come in from people I have never come across to form an opinion of. I generally don't look at anyone with under 100 posts as they have no history to relate to, but when I find a rare find I scoop them up no matter how many posts.
we all have different ways of doing it but that way works for me.

hello td and thea. have either of you responded to the 700 new discussions in marine life yet? (do you prefer shrimps or prawns etc etc)

Go and put some in at once rabbit, but don't leave them as just a question of td will come and give you a telling off.

When we start our days here we get the impression that it's the mutual help of friends that helps one to go on. But the friends we add don't care to look into each others discussions, nothing will help. happy lotting

But we can see many friends responding on each other's discussions, in a way helping each other. Some say only topics started by their friends interests them. or they became friends through such interests.

That is what I said. Only when people get to know each other they can be friends. After accepting friendship request they don't come back. That won't help in the earning. Atleast friends should help each other in continuing the discussion.

It's so true!! I think part of the reason for this is that I also do nt have very active friends. D:

However, sometimes they post god discussions, and I won't know ow to respond!! Do you ever have this kind of problem? If so, what do you do?

It's true that I'm not able to respond on every topic my friends start discussions. Still I try to go and search. Some on the list are inactive.

Ehehehhe now that could be really a disaster and have completely the opposite effect! Just think if the entire friend list responded to our discussion... doesn't bear thinking about!

May be when I started this discussion I had only my list of friends in my mind. They are only few.

They were only a few maybe?
I feel you might be adding a few more after this discussion

sure Diana, I'm hoping to get some requests. And some who are already friends too responding now.

Hi Tingtong and Ms. D,

After every discussions that i made or responded i gained lots of friends-and it's meeting them in other's discussion. Now everyday my inbox messages for new discussions from friends and mylot friends comments are increasing. I am so happy and excited seeing my inbox full of mylot messages. I patiently open them all and start responding on my friends' comments to my posts and after that start responding yo my friends started discussions.

Thanks!

Just think if the entire friend list responded to our discussion.
It would certainly keep you busy!

Busy until the pension!

...for a one started discussion-- will be forever exchange of responses hehehehe until pension time as what ms. D said...

hi, ms & D, that pension scheme is not going to work as they say world will end in 2012. So till then, happy lotting..or is it as someone else said, happy lootting?

MysD.. what pension?

ting tong: if the world is going to end in 2012, we'd better get responding quicker!

It will work fine
and we will all be here in 2013 asking why we are still here!

I hope so!

hi all,

we will all still be here even after the 2012--- i really don't believe in that prediction but i strongly believe that mylot and us will still be keeping in touch with each other. cheers!

Diana, You are right. Earning and a bit fun was my intention while I joined. Whatever topics I respond, I do that sincerely. I'm sure some don't like my replies. But people become friends only when they get to know each other. In this ocean of mylotters, it will take some time to know who is a friend. I feel only by showing interest in each other's topics we can't know anyone. Unlike you, I get very few friends' request. So I add them all and try to find out whether the person is a real friend. That is possible only through responding their discussions.
Is it that my topics are not interesting?

Imay well add all, or at least most of them, but this does not mean that I get to know them all. That is impossible! I get to know many of them though because I enjoy reading, even though I may not respond to all the discussions that I read.

I find your topics interesting and there was one, yesterday I believe, which could have been a very complex discussion. I didn't respond (yet) but I know it is there and will get my attention later. I respond depending on my mood and the time I have available and I guess many others do the same too my friend

Do not despair please!

That's true. Sometimes I leave a discussion when I'm not in a mood and pick that up the next day. This much of responses in this short time is getting me excited..I have a feeling, I'm getting popular by this discussion....

Tingtong being popular also has drawbacks - you will be very busy once you start getting lots of responses and then lots of discussions on which you should reciprocate and then lots of comments to which you should return and then lots of PMs from your new friends and then....

Oh! I'm building that castle. I think I'll have some assistants.

Hi

It is due to the imbalance of the equilibrium of maintain and management the ratio of comment to the self posted discussion and the desire of responding other.

And some time we are so passionate to our self posted discussion that we even have not find the time to put our eyes to what other are doing here.

More over that so many discussion is poster in a minimum of time that If we even try to attend all of those I think this is impossible task to complete that.

From my part I just can say that I always try to equalize the number of post relating to my discussion be same to the respond to other.

Any way this is and unanswerable question for me.

I this the view of mysdianait is more expressive than me.

Thanks mysdianait and you too.

I can't mke up my mind whether to add anybody and everybody...or to be picky about who I accept or request, bith have advantages and disadvantages. Either way, I still wouldn't expect friends to respond to all my discussions, real friend or casual aquaintance. Aww well.. carry on regardless

Yup! We'll just keep plodding on

Hey you are soooooo pale it's almost disconcerting.
Ok you said we would be seeing less of you ... but this!

I was getting used to it! hehehe... guess I better get dressed again aih? lol

Yes pleeeeeeeeze!
It won't take long as you were not really wearing very much were you?!

hello maggie.

Thank you. Let me too hope that I get more responses, and friends who are truly interested in the topics I start. Ofcourse people have their choice. I cannot expect all to like my discussions. Have a nice day.

I was reading your response and I just had to go and see your discussions and why they have not received many responses and I hope you will not take offence if I leave you a tip here? You have not commented back to any of the responses that you have received If you do that (and you can still do it now as it is never too late) then you will find that those users will respond on your next discussions.

You do not earn for the responses that others make - they earn for that. You earn for what you post so if you comment it means you earn and gain users who will return. I hope you will take that advice and re-consider leaving

I used to face this problem before,,. but i regularly respond to the coments and responses received... i think you haven't gone through the full profile.

I retract what I said because it is omly relevant tothe more recent dicussions that you started. I see that the previous ones you were indeed commenting. So why did you stop I wonder?

Thank you for accepting

I had stopped responding because of the no of responses i had got and its was discouraging me... I am not here to earn.. I am here to share my thoughts and feelings.. even many of them i have seen really come up with good discussions and really in need of some good advise,... But people were really disaapontind them...

I can definately understand that it is disappointing when a dicussion that you started did not receive the number of responses that you had hoped. A discussion is never 'too old' though so maybe some of those that you started are worth reviving?

I hope though that you will rethink about leaving. Maybe things will take a turn for the better and start moving for you again.

Hi ajay, don't think of leaving. We have to make the space for ourselves wherever be it. Stay and enjoy. I too am determined to stay. Let us wait and see what happens. Happy lotting.

ok ting tong...

True. We have to fight for our survival, here or anywhere. Don't be disheartened. We'll slowly pick up friends who like our topics of discussions. It's just a matter of time and patience, I feel. Happy lotting.

Hi, bjcyrix, We cannot expect all to get interest in our topics of discussion. But if atleast a few of our friends respond to those unattended ones, it would be encouraging. That's what I felt.

Sometimes they don't have time bj
That does not mean they do not notice the discussions started by friends though

Hiya tingtong, yep, I sure do agree with you. A few responses could mean a lot to those who created discussions.^_^

LOL Dont worry Mys.D, I do know what you mean, I am guilty of that as well.
