how can i get more people to reply?

You can do so by following some or all of these: 1. Make the topic more international rather than restricting to your country /town or village. 2. Make it very interesting, meaningful and understandable. 3. Have zcores of friends and ask them to keep the NOTIFY ON so that as soon as the topic is itnroduced, they all get email alerts. 4. When they respond to your topic, ensure that you also respond to their topics, whcih you can do so by going over to their profile. By reciprocating gestures, you can always ensure good number of respnses to your topic. There are people who only want responses and they do not respond. They will always be in trouble.
