Where have they gone........

Okay I have been on here for a little bit this morning and I can't seem to find any decent discussions to respond to. I have seen a few, but they are mainly stuff that I can't respond to because I just don't have anything to add or am not knowledgeable about the topic. Is anyone else having this problem lately??? Does there seem to be a slowing of decent discussion lately? Or if you have seen some really good discussions, please send them my way as I am getting bored.

NO I haven't yet! I am still going through all my friends trying to find some really good discussions to respond to. I wouldn't say the ones I am finding are boring. I am finding plenty to respond to, but they are ones that I really don't have but a few lines of stuff to say. I am wanting to find some really good discussions that really catch my eye. Something that I am able to really respond to with a lengthy response. Do you see what I am getting at? Normally I can find some everyday that I am here, but today I am just not finding any. I will go check yours out in a little bit.

You wrote me a book I think sometimes perhaps at a loss for words? You can make a big thing out of a little thing. I will have to see what you like in order to think of something for you. But arent we supposed to do our own interests since that is what we like? I played on here all day. I must say one liners seems to be my thing at the moment. I'll work on it.

There has been a few fun ones but they do seem to be slowing down maybe the weather has something to do with it.

I have just deleted about 15 discussions from my in box for the same reason you have just said, they are mindless. I think what it is is the end of month rush for people to try and make pay out, so they just throw any old thing in the board, please, don't insult my intelligence, what little I have left, LOL. I was glad to come across your discussions because frankly I was ready to shut it down.

You are probably right. It is the end of the month, so many people are probably just starting discussions on whatever they can think of just to get that extra earning. I am glad my discussion sparked your interest. Even though I had a hard time finding good ones the other day, it's nice to know that I was able to start a decent one for everyone else to respond to.

I am keeping busy with the ones in my email inbox.. I was having trouble keeping up with them and trying to post to all of them, but have since learned to delete the ones that I had no interest in or didn't know anything about.. I am not sure that I would call all of them interesting, but I do love to "talk" and I just open my mouth and jump in whether it is interesting or not.. I am trying to build my numbers up and learn while doing it, so I just try and answer everything that I can.. Hope you find some really good discussions on here, good luck and Have a great evening.. Donna

Hey Donna, I was wondering how you were doing? I see you still have a loaded inbox. But glad to see you are getting through them all. I am sure you have some interesting discussions in there somewhere. I think I was just trying too hard to find the good ones and wasn't opening my eyes wide enough. So I took a break for awhile and I am back on for a little bit. We will see how it goes.

I agree it seems like the discussions have already in some shape or form have been discussed before, so why answer them.

Yes there are tons of duplicate discussions. Do some people not research a discussion before starting one? I know there have been a few times I have forgotten to check, but luckily non of them have been something duplicated from someone elses. Well with the exception of this discussion. I believe others have probably started discussions on this same topic. But hey that is only one for me out of gosh knows how many discussions I have started. Yet there are other people on here that start duplicate discussions all the time. It becomes very boring to even read them, yet alone answer them.

Hi speedy yes actually there is a slowness in decent topics.. However My box seems full of topics that I haven't gotten to myself... I do want to get threw them today... As a matter of fact I have 359 e-mails that I haven't opened yet and 90% of them are from mylot... I know I've replied to some of them with out even going to my in box... Soon enough though some good ones will come along just need a wait a bit for that.. Hopefully you will find something in your interest!

Wow, that's alot of emails. I don't have notifications turned on for all my friends, so I average about 40 to 50 a day. But even then I have a hard time responding to some of them. I ended up taking a break for awhile on here. So now that I am back on for a little bit this evening, I am hoping to find some decent ones.

If I could ever catch up with what is in my inbox I might be thinking the same thing. Though I have to admit there are days that all I do is delete them, because I don't have anything to add. But I've got 2000 in my inbox that at this rate will never get to them. I've been surprised, I don't start many discussions, but right now I have several of my discussions that I started a year ago when I first became a member and they are still getting responses to them.

I know what you mean about not having anything to add. That was my problem this morning. Every discussion I was coming across was stuff that I had nothing else to add. I was able to find some okay discussions and a few good ones, but nothing that really blew my socks off. But it's okay!!! I will just keep trying.

Hi Speedy.. I read this discussion and went hmmmmmmm how do I feel about this? Then I realized that I haven't been here very much during the last couple of months and I am at a loss as to whether there are/are not good discussions of late. In my experience here I have never felt that way because of the circle of friends that I have developed over the past 11 months. The members I most commonly chat with have reputations for posting interesting, informative discussions. Some of them are DarkWing, Pyewacket, The Programmer, Aussies, One and One Makes Six, VistorVision. I cannot say for sure that they are still posting interesting discussions because I haven't checked them all out since getting back in the last couple of days...but I would be surprised if they had changed their style. I know for sure DarkWing posted an interesting one on Forgiveness...so if you check my friends list they are there and if you see what they have posted you might be pleasantly surprised. Good luck with finding something to make your 'thinker' work a little. Cheers, Raia

Yes I know of the members you are speaking about. One of them is one of my friends. But the only thing with alot of thier discussions is that they are on topics that I have no experience with or I am not very knowledgeable in the topic. But thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I think I was just in a bored mood to begin with this morning, so I wasn't really into mylot this morning. We will have to see how I do tonight now that I took a break from here for awhile.

LOL. I thought I was the only one feeling this way. I just felt I had no 'mind connection' with the discussions. well, mostly I would just stay back for a while, perhaps the cause was from my own mind (that's what I thought about myself). sometimes I couldn't even feel good when I got online, so I would just turn on the TV to get some refreshing and would get back to check for any new discussion again. but if there was no discussion I could respond to, sometimes I would start one discussion on my own. of course, not many people responded to my discussions, however, at least I know I still have interaction. anyway, I'm glad I can respond to yours. this is one good discussion I could find for today, before having my dinner. hope you would find the good discussions later. have a good day or night.

I tend to find that is gets lively about 4pm or 5 pm in Uk time so bout 40 mins or an 1 hour and 40 mins. I thik this is when peopel are home more or have big ideas for discussions!! I sometimes find it hard to reply to discussions aswell for the same reason as you. Also if it has had loads of responses I wont reply. Hopefully some good discussions will come along soon, very soon!!

I have never really found a time that it is busier than normal. Of course I have also never really had the problem of finding stuff to respond to. But today of all days it seems to be slow and now I am getting bored!

I am new to mylot. Today is my first day. To be honest I am going to experiment with the discussions to see if it is worth the money. Do you all make enough money for it to be worth it? Can anyone tell me what they think their average pay is for each decent post to a discussion? I do like to meet people. Don't get me wrong. I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things. I also have a lot of questions about a lot of things. So, I do think that I will enjoy participating in mylot discussions. I also have a family (husband, 3 year old son, and 5 foster kids) though, and I need to use my time wisely. Of course if the money is worth the time spent, then it will all be worth it. I won't need to feel guilty about my time spent online. Well, I am here if anyone would like to respond. Thank you for your time....in advance.
