the mylotters are getting lazy or selective?

hi dear friends it is just my feeling that the number of responses in general are going down . can it be attributed to the loss of interest among dear mylot friends or it has got something to do with the efforts and the time we are devoting to the mylot. another point may be the quality of posts is the quality going down?? any ideas dear friends??

I think one factor could be the booming sites that pay per post. I have two referrals but to now they have yet to post. That is because they do not have either the time to post here because they were to busy posting in other sites, and they do not know what to say. Some forums define the rate per post but mylot does not disclose this because I believe that mylot wants us to discuss freely and do not mind the income or incentives we can be getting. For me I like it here in myLot because I can talk and my friends too, anything under the sun that we feel like talking about. i also got some new virtual friends who sometimes gives advises, warnings or ask questions or answer my questions. Happy myLotting to all!

I find that the quality of good discussions are getting more rare, so I guess new people are posting more than the people who make discussions that are worth answering. Plus, a lot of people started school this month. I'm not really sure if it is a mix of those things.

I think that many myLotters are lazy, inactive and defocused from myLot. Even most of them may not have known well about how to work in myLot properly! Hope, myLot must arrange something for the encouragement of the inactive myLotters! Thanks for this nice posting!

I think that it is more a case of abundance than anything else juhi. The user numbers are consistently increasing which of course means that there are far more discussions to wade through than ever before. In time we all end up creating our own niche groups of friends and interact with each other regularly. It is only after we have exhausted these angles that we start to move outside of this focus and look to other areas. I do think that there is a stronger focus on quantity rather than quality these days but the decent posts are definitely still in here! We just need to look a little harder than usual these days is all.

It may be both my friend. Selective, lazy or it may be because some of them are busy with other things. I myself have not been able to spend a lot of time here because I've been busy with work and when I do get to check MyLot, I can't seem to find topics that interests me. A lot of them I've already answered. This would apply to my friends discussions.

I think it's a combination of things such as rude people which is a lot on here and some of us don't like it one bit. Some leave and then there's some of us who fight back. Then there's some who've burned themselves out on mylot and have moved on and then there's a few that have passed on which is heart wrenching but a fact of life nonetheless.

I can't agree more!! And it's why I took a break from mylotting because someone was attacking me but I'm not going anywhere so they better get used to it!! lol

They're not interested with the topic, I guess. Have a nice day!

perhaps yes! so we must be careful enough to post such discussions where most of the mylotters will be interested and we will be sure of getting enough responses too!! happy mylotting!!

I've noticed the same thing. I've also noticed that the same people seem to get substantial numbers of responses while the rest get just a few. And, I'm not knocking those people, but it seems many want to check out their discussions more than others. I've seen other discussions that aren't substantially different than those people's, and I've posted some that I felt were worthy of response, but they'll get the lion's share. Again, I'm not putting these people down because they have no control over who does or doesn't respond to them. It just seems like there is a bit of favoritism with some and they focus primarily on certain contributors. But, I'm sure that's not the entire answer - it's just something I've noticed. I'm not as proliferate a discussion starter as others, either.

Selective. Some days ago, when i first joined, I saw some really great discussions and got to posting and made almost 200-300 without problem But now everyone is coming along and making discussions and for this fact, the other discussions are getting buried under the pile and searching them is taking a lot of time. So I get choosy when i have to respond. I think that is happening with others too.. bourne

hi dear juhi06, mylot is a public forum . people come . watch , stay for some time and move on!!in search of another option for money making or otherwise!! many are really serious and quality conscious and post quality stuff!! and responses are immaculate!! i at times search for their discussions!! to read them and learn fro their experiences!! so it all depends how they take to it!!

I have also noticed that interesting discussions are not coming up as I wanted to answer and search for questions that interests me. One of the reasons is people are selective and probably there may be some interesting groups out there to discuss and earn more. I don't know much about this. Anyway I know only myLot as the best way of discussing online. Happy myLotting!

well the interest also depends and follows some laws of economics perhaps!! it is for you and me to create the interest and all others o maintain the tempo!! well all have to contribute their might to build up the spirit!!

I think there are many reasons. For me, i don't have so much time to come to mylot every day. So i can't answer all the discussions my mylot friends started.

well dear airl1527 this is one reason , but it is not true with most of the persons. many of them are house hold people and women who are rather dedicated and prolific performers at mylot and participate actively!!

hi, i guess your right with your observation. even myself, i only respond to discussions which i think is worth responding or i have knowledge on the matter discussed. i don't want to respond just for the sake of earning. i wanted to do it sincerely and with respect. and whenever i post something, i make sure that it is convenient for everyone and anybody can participate. i don't want others to feel awkward with the discussion.
