Doesn't it bug you when you created a discussion with no response?

it would kind of bug me if i didn't get any response from a discussion that i took the time to do. don't you just hate that? i don't think there's any profit in that - but i'm learning though because it's like a method of knowing which topics to write about and discuss - for one i don't think there would be a lot of people responding to things like childish things like video games and i've notice only a few respond to discussions regarding music like hip hop. what about you? do you find yourself frustrated with zero responses?

Oh my god! Tell me about it! It does discourage me at times when I have a zero response after the time I took to make a discussion. But then I again I take the strategies on how to make discussions that attract people to read. I like it when I see a topic that has like over 50 responses then that means I'm doing good. As long as I see one response then I'm fine - but zero just doesn't cut it for me. It doesn't even count as a post if no one response to it meaning you probably won't get any earnings for a left out discussion in the book shelf. But I too at times go through discussions or users and friends to see if they have a zero response discussion to help them out and let them know to read up my discussions and join me in my friend's list then from there you can get those zero responses field up. It's all teamwork and help in mylot - multi-strategies I tell you. Keep up the good work piatlocke! Kudos!

I don't like that my discussions will have no response. No matter how much I dislike it, such kind of discussions are still available. I just hope for the best and perhaps one day someone will reply to it.

To date, I have only had one discussion with zero responses,it was a poem ??!! I guess no one liked it,lol I do try to look around and see what the trend seems to be on here, but you know, I don't think that matters! I think that if people stop long enough to read it , they will respond, so the title may be where it's at...who knows! I'm just here to have fun, write and vent...and hey if I make a few bucks in the process, great :)

Actually people write and respond to video games, hip hop and music much more than other things. (Like science -_-) (and philosophy -_- /facepalm). It can be irritating having little or no responses. But for the most part I'm fine.

It would bother me to some degree, but then I would just have to think of a better discussion to start. I know that I actually look for discussions without responses. I don't have to read through everyone else's responses before responding myself. A lack of responses doesn't always mean that the discussion is not interesting. It may just be a new discussion and then I'm getting the jump on other people. I have yet to start my own discussion. I've been busying responding to other people's discussions.
