...... the person started the discussion never comes back and answer any of your replies? It's like that no body cares what you say.When I start a discussion I do go back and answer some of the replies but not necessarily every one thou.

Sometimes it does. I don't necessarily reply to every response to my discussions, but I do go back and try to respond to most of them. Sometimes though there is not really much to say in response to some of the responses that you get.

I don't respond to all of my responses either. And like you also said sometimes there is nothing to say.Sometimes I find that I have already said that 3 or 4 times in the discussion.

I don't like to repeat myself in discussions either. Besides myLot says we are not supposed to respond with the same thing over and over again.

I don't like to either but sometimes I have to if the same people keep saying the same thing to me.But it gets tiresome

YES it definately does! It's no discussion if they don't get back to you That's also the reason why I don't start many. If I know I don't have time I respond on others and keep quiet about starting new ones

We all have a life offline and maybe things happen and make us stay away and that's not a problem. We can go back to older discussions and respond at a later date - always better than nothing and it sometimes revives them too! Happy posting!

Its only good manners to go back & reply to one...Some people do not know what manners are and some just do not have any....

Hi Dfollin, It does irritate me a little when I reply to a discussion and the starter does not comment back. I thought that is the whole part of this being a discussion forum. If the starter does not reply then it turns into a one sided discussion. I guess it is to each their own, but you would make more money here if you did answer the replies you get. I try to reply to all of mine and thank them for their response. If I find that I am too busy, I will not even start a new discussion until I know I will have the time to answer the replies I may get.

Good for you. And yes,it does turn into a one sided discussion.Which makes it not a discussion.

Hi there! When starters of discussions don't comment back it doesn't irritate me at all. Everyone has their own way of working here in mylot. Others has the habit of commenting back on responses and some well, I think of it as lacking some time commenting. I myself sometimes lacks time commenting back on responses. I try my best but sometimes time constraints prevents me. Ciao!

I would like my responses to be commented. A discussion without counter comments looks boring. I also assume that if someone does not bother to respond, he/she is probably not even bothering to rate the responses or select the best response. This actually puts me off, But i get even more annoyed if someone from my friends list does it. I am here to interact & make friends & would rather reply to mylotters who take the time to respond to my comments.

It is boring. It seems to me that if they don't comment back,they did not care to really have a "discussion",just start one so that they could earn.And that is the only reason that they are here.They do not care about peoples opinions and making friends here.

I always go and at least answer a few. Some of them we answer alot to and others just a few.

Yes. Sometimes, especially if I have a question for them to reply back to me with. That is what bothers me, when they do not respond.

What bothers me too is when I reply to a response to my discussion and ask them a question in it and the obviously have not bothered to look back and see what I said because they did not answer my question.

Well, for me I will always make comments to the response on my discussions. I am excited to know what their opinions in my topic that is why I will always go back ang answer them. I will reply to all who responded to my discussion. I never select.. Even if they are not in my friend's list I will still answer them. Unlike others who just select the responders. If it is not in their friend's list they will not reply. That is what annoys me. Yes, but I don;t care... anyway, I am earning when I made my response and if they don't reply? the lost a cent hahahaha....

It is irritating. I try to always respond to others responses on my own discussions. I think it's rude not to.

Sometimes it is irratating when others do not acknowledge that you have responded to their discussion. I do understand that many of the people who use myLot are only here in an effort to make some easy money so they hurry through every post and just try to make as many as they can in a day. The extra money that is made here is ok but I like the idea of community and love to be in a good discussion with people.

Same here,the money is ok,but making friends and getting opinions is much better.I agree what makes me mad is the people who start discussion just to make money and then never come back.And I have wrote a really good reply and they never see it because they are selfish.They don't care what other have to say really,they don't care about other people's opinions.

I need to make money,but I can't make all that I need here,but I am still here. I will be very glad to be your friend.

Thats it exactly I am here for some good conversation and to make some good friends and if I make a few extraa pennies thats ok but the main reward here is the people and view points. That is what makes me rich from mylot. I am afraid that if people are only coming here to make a profit it will doom mylot in the end.

Hello dfollin! It doesn't irritate me actually. I find it annoying. I do think that a discussion must be an interaction so if the owner won't give comments to his/her discussion, it won't consider as a good discussion. Quiet confusing right?hehee..

Not really. Cause it took me a long time to realize I was supposed to answer back. I didn't think I was. When I found out other people were answering me back when I answered one, then I figured it out. If they're new, they might not realize they can, or should. Then there's always the problem, when the comment is so perfect, there really isn't anything you can say. Except something trite, like good answer.
