Where is everyone?

Well I give my own discussions a few hours before I go back and read them. If you replied to mine, I will get to. However we are not to just post things like "thanks", at least a year ago we were not. So if you have something that is interesting I can pick out and comment on I will, but if all I can say is thanks, I won't post a reply. But I do read all of them I get and give "+" as well for the ones that show some effort, even if they don't agree with me.

I try to always respond to the discussions I've started though sometimes it will take me awhile! It's just been a very busy time for me - kids are getting ready to go back to school, trying to find my hubby a new job, and my websites (now that I have 7 of them!) take up a lot more time than I have - plus of course i still have things like my mother in law to cater too :) I am sure once school starts again & the weather's not so nice people will have a lot more time for mylot and discussion posting and responding!

Hi chrislotz. I know how you feel sometimes. I haven't been on MyLot as regularly as I'd like recently because I've been helping my sister with a project to help her earn some extra money and it's taking longer than I had thought to get things rolling. When I do get on, I may not have time to respond to all the discussions I'm interested in, but I do try to at least answer the posts from my discussions before looking for some I can answer. Recently I ran into some of those posters you mention, that just post discussion after discussion without ever going back to do any responses. Some of their discussions left people hanging around for an answer for weeks. At first I felt bad about answering the questions from the post, but when I went back a few weeks later, still no response to the person that responded. Now, I don't feel quite so bad. If the original poster wanted a referral out of their discussion, they should at least look at their posts, but if they leave them waiting too long, someone else will try to fill the request. ps. I'l go to your profile next to see if you have more I can post to.

If you read the rules, you're not supposed to post just to say 'thanks'. I usually add something more to it when I respond. Things are generally more quiet here on the weekends, so that may be the issue with you not seeing as much activity.

good point. it is really important that we do replies on other people's comments in our topics so that they will not feel that they are being ignored and their posts are unimportant cause no one is replying into that post. i just feel that way too. i feel bad when others don't make any replies on my comment or replies. but sometimes they do reply but i am not really happy with their reply . it feels like they just reply for the sake of replying and not really to have good discussion and not to let the discussion to keep flowing. cause i really like to have a discussion where there is an inflow of responses .

i hear you and i'm letting you know im here so thank you

Everyone seems to be on vacation right now, not a bad thing really, some people just seriously need time off.

Hi Chris. You are not alone. You are doing an excellent job. Just keep up with your postings.

hi be patient and u will surely recv replies-tere have been many days before i recvd a reply for a discussions that i have posted,for some posts i hv had an instant reply-so it depends.

yes,i usually have a lot of responses about my post,but i seldom to see it,because i just want to earn money,and it will disturb me.

Hi chris. You've been around for a long time. You should know how it works here better than me. I have been here for about 6 weeks or so. I see that some people don't respond to their discussions and when I see that I don't respond anymore. I'm still relatively new so it's taking me time to see who does what here. I don't start too many discussions, but when I do I make sure that I get back into them and respond. I guess some people just don't care.

OMG! I just had a long response typed out, and then I wanted to look at your profile. When I returned to this page, my response was gone! Holy chit!!! Oh, well, here I go again. Hey there, chris, how's it going? I am new to myLotting, and I am learning as I go. I mostly like responding to discussions because I have a hard time thinking of anything that I feel others would be interested in. I would rather not post any discussions than to post something that is of no interest to anyone else. Most of my discussions haven't gotten many responses, so there you go! LOL I have started a few discussions, and I have tried to comment on each response, but sometimes I find that I will get caught up in responding, and forget to go back in to my discussion to post comments. I do eventually get around to it, but sometimes not immediately. I hope that no one has been offended by my not commenting. I do not really get upset when I post a response and the person does not comment. I'm a laid back kind of woman, and I figure if the person doesn't comment, maybe they didn't care for my response or else they have gotten sidetracked onto something else. So, don't stress out if you don't comment on my posts. It's no biggie to me. Hang in there, and have a great day!

it sometimes happens...there are lot of discussions going on here..it's quite natural that people post or comment only on selected discussions..me too have come across those kinda situations where ma discussions have not been responded..at the same time i have felt happy on occasions where i have got so many comments too..hope you will get more responses..
