In my opinion is only a question of your discussions' topics... Maybe people don't like your questions or simply your new discussions are less interesting than before (not in general, but for people)...

I agree. I know I bypass alot of the discussions because they are either a repeat of another discussion or just not interesting to me. Also I found people tend to be off line alot during the summer time. Here in Florida we have summer all the time but other places don't and really love to be outside till late. I find summer affects my ebay sales because peopole aren't on line as much.

I don't think this is because of summer because before three to four days many people was responding to my discussions ...

Hi 3orabi! I was at work yesterday and wasn't on as much as usual. I have still to catch up on the responses on my own discussion. I wonder if you have been responding on a discussion started by those who are responding on your previous ones? You can't expect them always to respond on yours unless you return the favour once in a while. Maybe that is part of the problem?

I agree with you mysdianait , I try always to respond to those who respond to my discussions , then I search for others to respond to their discussions

hello 3orabi I noticed that also , but you should remember that some of your topics were really hot , talking about very sensitive issues ; racism , homosexuality , religions ..etc what I noticed that you should write your discussion with feelings , you should really feel of what and why you are writing and then your discussion will be very good , people will be attracted to it also , and don't forget to keep updating your discussions by adding comments from time to time, that's would increase the number of your visitors .. have a good day 3orabi wish you all the best

Do not get dejected you will get responses just as you used to get earlier but just try to post interesting and new discussions and sometimes people do not respond because they may not know anything about the topic you started or they may not feel it interesting enough and also sometimes people respond late to discussions . So just keep posting good and new discussions and you will get what you want. Be happy happy mylotting

Well, I answer a lot of your discussions. I don't mind talking about some of the more controversial topics you post though. Some people may not post on them because they don't want to offend others. It can also make your ratings go down because it can turn into arguments (ex. your homosexuality one). I personally won't give you bad ratings due to disagreements, but a few people probably did. I thought the ratings were the opposite though, I thought the more + responses the higher the number. Am I wrong????

Make more quality posts, this will gain a lot of responses from other users and always respond to users who have responded to your discussion because then this creates more posts on your discussion and then it will most likely go on to the today's top and then may even go on the MyLot Digest.

That is a common,and nearly each mylotters experienced it.Actully,that is because some of the posts are deleted.And then the number decreased.You could get more info. by checking the TOS.Don't worry about it!

Hi,I am here.Holiday is coming and many students is having a vacation.In fact I will have a vacation these days,too.So it doesn't mean you are the only reason.There are many reasons.What you should do is to keep your topic good and often respond to others' post.We can nevr ask others to respond to our post while we don't respond to their post.Do you agree with me?I don't post a lot,but I do respond a lot.I think your question will be solved soon.Have a nice day!
