Old discussions

hi gr8life! i'm also behind my notifications, they have now piled up to more than a thousand and most of them are old discussions from my friends here, including this one. ^__^;; i also feel like its a waste to just delete them and not even try to respond to them. so i would browse the notifications and see which of them i could still respond to. i hope my friends wouldn't be annoyed whenever i respond to their old discussions. i always feel relieve of that worry if someone also responded to it after me. at least that proves that responding to it would make the discussion get more responses. ^__~ in my case i don't mind if other myLotters would respond to my old discussions. as long as those discussions have not "expired". like for example, a discussion that talks about what have you done today, what was your lunch/dinner for today. those kinds of discussions.

Yea I respond to old discussions often just to keep up or catch up with the posters. I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as the discussions are interesting and I have something to say. I don't mind if the poster marks the best response or not as my goal is to find anything interesting to respond to! *smiles*

No it doesn't really matter how old a discussion is or how long since there has been a response to it, if I find the topic interesting and feel I can add something to it then I will certainly respond. Sometimes we simply miss good discussions as there are so many of them being started all the time so some of the good topics get buried a long way down. By responding, we are bringing it back to the top where it might attract a few more responses from other people. It is like this discussion of yours which I see is already 4 months old but it interests me enough to make a response. I just "found" and thought I would add my few comments too and maybe other members will see it now and also add their thoughts to it as well. Just because a topic is old it does not mean it is no good - a bit like people actally when you think about it. lol Good luck and hope you are able to make a response to all those "old" discussions that you want to.

Hi gr8life, [i]I am like you..When I am behind, I will not care if the Br was given already, I don't feel really that it is my obligation but it's just part of my routine to be part of my friends' post and I love doing it! But, there are times where I have entirely no idea about the topic, sometimes I will skip from it![/i]

I was searching for discussions on Home and Away and most of the discussions began months ago and many of them already had best responses. I still replied to the discussions that I was interested in. I often look at discussions that were started one or even two years ago. I did make a mistake replying to the same discussion twice. I said sorry to the My Lot member that began that discussion. He saw the funny side and commented that at least I didn't change my mind about the subject I most hated when I was at school. If I see the profile and realize that the member is no longer active on My Lot I do sometimes still respond to their discussion. After all there are lots of other members on my Lot that may continue the discussion and get something out of that. I really enjoy discussing topics on My Lot, old or new.

that is not part of the preference i set myself in making discussions or responding into it. as i have to do is, as long as it suits my interest, in my preference and if there's something that i can contribute or something to say then i do make my own despite it's being years old and if BR was deployed already.

well i do sometimes especially it popped up on the started discussion on my friends section..and even responded twice for that matter unknowingly..especially if its year ago or old discussions..i tend to forgot things especially if it dated a year or so ..

I am very far behind also on my friends discussions from Mylot. I have some that are four months old and I am trying very hard to work on those daily but they keep piling up. I like to have alot od discussions to respond to though. I will respond to any and all of them. I don't mind if they already have a best response because I may have some significant input for the discussion also.

Right now... i am trying to catch up with this weeks discussions that i was not able to respond to... i was quite busy... so now that i have the time... i will try to respond to as many as i can... When a particular friend starts like 10 discussions a day... i don't really respond to all... i just choose like three... then delete those that i can't relate to... but for loyal friends... i make it a point to respond because based from experience... friends like you do not really start a lot here... so it is so easy to write something...

If you have an opinion about something, why not? No matter how old the discussion is. Sometimes you have discussions started by people, and when you decide to respond to it that person is no longer active in this community. I really think it matters more what you get out of it. If you find interest in the subject and have something to say ... say it. You never know who will read what you wrote.

I don't really put much thought as to how old the discussion is, as long as I like the topic.

just yesterday I delete all the inbox that I had for I felt bored with those discussion of my friends in which it is all in the same way, I mean they always like to post a discussion that was in quantity when they could make a quality post of discussion so I got tired with that then I delete it, It was your discussion and for winterose I left it in my inbox, sorry for those other discussion......

For me i dont mind id the discussion is too old as long as i am interesting with the old discussion then i will do have comment on it.SOme other new discussion but it doesnt interest me.
