I get good news, Im all excited about it, I get onto mylot and want to share my good news with the world, I create a post about it and then wait, and wait, and wait. No one responds, dont they care? Are they not interested in my good news? Did anyone even read it?
It sort of bursts the bubble doesnt it, when you jump on here, tell the world your news and not ONE person responds?
How do you feel when that happens to you?

I can imagine jst how youfeel . I have a few zero response discussions which I need seek at least one friend to post an answer to so that I can resolve thse discussions.
You would maybe want to try to do that for your discussions with no response. All the best and happy mylotting.

Ritzzzzzzzzzz!! Hang on in there! We are alone here at this time of day and our friends across the pond are still in the land of nod!
I have your last two posts open but am still catching up with other things which I found needed attention too. It is difficult to keep up with eveything and at breakfast time my fingers are slow
I know how you feel... I'm on my way!

Oh I know THAT feeling!
I've just found three like that. They've been open hours now and I can't for the life of me remember what I intended doing with them.
Well I ws busy earlier dishing out ice-creams on here
so that distracted me I guess

Hahaha! That makes me laugh. Yeah, whenever I post a discussion and I feel happy to discuss it but there was no one responding, I feel like there's a sort of something that will burst from me. Feels like I would burst into disappointed. I felt neglected. I hope I am only one who feels like it.

Now you have hit the nail right on the head there, you understand exactly how I feel. Thanks for responding, I have to say that I was a little impatient for responses and that Ive had quite a few now, so I am feeling a lot better. I think, if nothing happens on a discussion, we just need to move on. Dont dwell on the past eh?

I do not start very many discussions at all i think only about 4 or 5 and i think that i have one with no response, and it will probably stay that way. It has been 4 months now.
Not everybody sees all the posts that are posted especially if they are not on your friends list, or if they are not in the same interest that you posted it in.

hi there dlr297,
Seriously you have one discussion with no response? If I go to your profile to look for it and respond to it, will you give me Best Response for that?
Hehe.. some bargaining here to response... I am such a crap today.

truth can be stranger than fiction. i did come across some petty issues being marked as hot topics and and some serious issues getting no response. perhaps the members are fed up with all seriousness in live and are here for some fun. case in point - your good news didn't get any response and this bursting bubble is certainly attracting attention. by the way what was the good news LOL

Im gonna be on telly! LOL You are right about the responses to certain topics being unpredictable, I have seen some very profound statements made on mylot and not get a single response. Like you said, maybe people just want a bit of fun instead of all this seriousness, lifes too short!

I totally agree and understand where you are coming from on this one. I made 1 specific post inwhich I thought surely I would get some help and advice from other MyLotters but I have only received 2 or 3 posts on it. It is very frustrating to me as I am asking for some advice and noone is willing to help. Hope my response helps and makes you feel a bit better.

It makes me realise I am not alone. Sometime when we ask for help, the people with the right answers arent around. As someone earlier suggested, maybe you can reword your request and send it again. Also choose a category that is very popular and has more people reading it. Thanks for responding

Its funny how the simplest questions will get the biggest response.
I will listen to your good news, Because I know what your talking about, with the no
response issue. I have no idea what the secret, to a good responding post is.If you find out you must tell all !

hi ritz hatley here it depends on what your good news was,
if it was about making a milestone on mylot no one will
respond as these break mylot rules and we all would lose
]points as it wou ld get deleted. If its anything About
making payoff or getting so many points on my lot, the rules
say dont make discussions on that. If its to do with your
personal life fine. I would not like that either if I got
no response. but mylotters are getting more careful about
responding to any discussion that may break mylot rules as
we lose points too if we respond to a discussion that gets deleted so be sure your discussion did not break any mylot rules.

Sure, it has happened to me. Well, that happens to me often actually. Most of my discussions are like that. My newly started discussion would sit on the "no responses" page for a few hours, then get 2 or 3 responses. Then it's lucky if it would get more responses after that. Sometimes the responses does trickle in. One comes after a few hours/days but the excitement would be lost a bit if that's how it goes.
It does leave me kind of deflated so after those discussions, I kinda just dont expect to get any responses when I do create a discussion. At least Ive shared it with the world and people can read it even after a few months.

it definitely kill the excitement i feel when no one respond on my discussion. but luckily i get some replies always on my discussions. though they are not that many responses. but at least there are still some few interested members to post and read the topics i created. even only few get interested on my topic, their responses get motivated to keep more active and takes away my tiredness when i can see that they are giving good replies.

Oh it does happen to me when nobody respond to my topic and anyway don't worry, just keep focus on this site since you will learn a lot of ways here and get more information available.
I don't mind if other friends don't respond, they might have been busy or not online when I posted the topic. We can't do anything here to delete our posted topics too. So, leave it and rephrased it again if you want, and see if people would be getting your attention.
Normally we would feel frustrated and sad. But cheer up, it is normal here. Our posted topics if not responded will be piled up by new topics coming. So it will be much better to post another one or rephrased the topic you created. Happy Mylotting.

i've just put a response in there. maybe you need to give it more time though - also if it's in a section without many users then it'll be mainly your friends that will see it. putting it in the high traffic sections might get more responses (acknowledgements to the mylotters that told me this yesterday)

Thanks for putting a response in, good one too. Youre right though, as diana says below, I should give it time, most of our good friends on here are still asleep, and it being the weekend, they probably have other plans anyway. Thanks for this response too.

Oh Ritz100,
I'm so sorry to hear that you waited and waited but no one responded. You know why? Because it is the weekend and people are mostly out and about, not infront of their PC. Or maybe because the timing of your posting, the majority of the myLotters are still sleeping? Anyway, we care for you Ritz. We hope you did not cry when nothing happened to your previous discussion. We are here now, lending our BIG ears and fingers to type here to give you the biggest moral support. Now.. what's the big news?

Thanks for your truly heartfelt response, it lifts me! I did realise later that the timing was wrong, so I forgive everyone and have since had lots of responses to that post. Go to my profile and find the discussion I started on "Im going to be on the Telly", youll get the low down there.
