A simple thank you revives your discussions. Did you realise this?

Yes, I knew this. It makes sense doesn't it? It adds new fire into the whole mix. What do they say? Every thing old is new again. This just goes to prove that! I found this out a long time ago when I did the very thing that you did and got the same results. Thanks for your comment and have a great day!!!

Hello, Thea. Yes, any new activity on a discussion, no matter how old, brings it back to the surface. As far as I know, unless a discussion is deleted for violation of guidelines, it stays in cyberspace even after it's been resolved. It's good, because new members will see it, meaning you broaden the spectrum of responses and potentially make new friends. Anything that ups the responses is generally good news, and hopefully this topic will encourage members who have only had a few responses on their discussions..

Any action on your old discussions brings them back into the cycle. We are told not to just say "thank you" , but I know that is not what you are talking about. Because old friends who left looked at my old discussions, I gained some new friends who looked at old discussions, others have looked at my old discussions, because they have also cycled around to the top of the list again, so to speak. It is a good thing.

Yes, I noticed that! And then suddenly a dusty old discussion gets attention again!

Hi thea09, I don't know about the response you will received but I do knew that our discussion will go top of the list if we add comment or response to it. The top in the list is the most recently commented or responded. But that is a good idea if we want to put our old discussion to the top so other people can see it. Thank for sharing this and have a nice day.

Dear thea09, This discussion must be revived... I am going to take the proactive step by responding and hope it will benefit other fellow myLotters because this is a priceless information, that can renew interest, rating and earnings too! I believed that a good discussion topic deserve a Come Back! So, let's see how it goes, all the best and happy myLotting! Thanks for a wonderful topic of discussion and looking forward for high quality topic like this!

I only realized it recently when I gave out my BR. I thought by giving out my BR it will resolved the discussion and put it to rest but I am wrong, instead it draws in more responses.

Not only will adding a comment make it reappear at the top of 'friends started' on your friends but it was also appear atthe toppf the 'similar discussions' column on the right of every discussion which you have open depending on which tags the discussions themselves. The discussion at the top is the one with the most recent activity. The whole of this discussion just goes to show thatythere is really no need to start ANY new discussions at all. We have so many out there to be adding to.

Yea, I reallized this when I was doing the same thing before, marking the best responses, I received couple thank yous and it made my discussions came back to life! I was happy about that! And got couple new responses

You are correct..For about four days I am doing the same. But not to get new responses..to resolve the unresolved discussions and to comment the responses where I failed to leave a comment to them as I did not know the procedure in my earlier stage of my lot,etc..But as the discussions are moved to the recent, again the members are responding to them ..But only issue in case is all the respondents might have forgot their response as well as the discussions as they are 5-6 months old..They have to read them once again, if they want to know..

I really didn't know that, but it sure does make sense. I hope that is true though as I would like to see mine coming back to life so to speak. I know after a time they kind of fizzle out as they users either lose interest or they just don't realize it is there. I would love to see some of mine get more responses. If they don't that is ok too, becauser I am thannful for the ones I did get. Every response gives me a chance to make more money as I can comment on them and build up my earinings that way. Good luck to you and happy myloting.

Do you realise that saying 'thank you' only is a violence of the guidelines? But you're right. Any activity in your discussion revives it. If the discussion is any good you might even receive responses months, if not years after creation.

i think it is good manners to repond to their comments, which also show ur respect for them, and i believe they can feel that and will have a good mood. we come here not only for the money, right? we prefer to learn some english and make new friends.what do u think?
