I've had an idea and seems to work out quite well for me and others here... I go to discussions, either 'no responces' or 'new user' and go through alot of the topics there.. and get to put in my opinion 1st. Seems to be helping them out seeing that their posts are being read and I gain aswell posting on their topics!! What do u think? I seem to find alot of the 'hot topics' are always looked at more than ones that your friends post or others that haven't had any posts at all!! and you could find topics that you never thought of having an opinion on and suddenly, something pops in ur head and u put it down! If it works well for both parties why not!?? HEHE... !

Hi Rite, I usually visit to the "no response" and "new user" tab but most of the time I didn't respond to their discussions. There are a few reason why I didn't give my response there. 1. Violated a guidelines Usually MOST of the "no response" discussions doesn't have any response because of this. They either put a personal link or promote other earnings site. You can see this especially on the "Making extra money" interest. There is no point to respond to this type of discussion because that discussion would be deleted any our earnings will gone too. 2. One line discussion. People who only posts discussion with one line discussion rarely receive any response especially from the seniors. And most of the discussion has no substantial to discuss further like what is your favorite color or how many time you bath a day. 3. Starting a lot of discussion at a time. I usually doesn't response to a persons discussion that started a lot (sometimes more then 10 discussions at a time). Usually their discussion is a repeated discussion or one line discussion. They also usually doesn't comment any response that their discussion receive. BUT it is good to go there to find a discussions since not all the discussion started put an interest on their discussions. If you doesn't give an interest in that, your discussions only can be seen when you posted it or on your "friends started" tab.

the ones i've been on haven't really been one liners or links... seem too boring or desperate for me to comment really... more like asking a Q or have an opinion on something and ask for mine aswell... cheers tho.. x

If that is a question that i can give my right answer for it, I will respond to that discussion. I really never bother if that discussion started by a new member or a senior one. As long as I can give my help, I am happy to do that. As long as that discussion is not as mention above.

Well, for me, it really depends on the amount of time I have to be active here. Because my time is so limited at times it seems like I am always so busy trying to play catchup in responsding back to the New discussions I have started, and trying to get my Best Responses handed out along with responding on topics I am interested in, and my friends discussions that most of the time I never have time for these other discussions as well. But this is a Great way to help motivate some of the newer people in here for sure.

I help the newbies and the ones that start disucssions too, thenever I can. I have seen a lot of them post links in the discussion area, and I post a response and let them know that they are in violation fo the terms and there discussion will be deleted. I do that knowing full well that I will lose earnings too, but someone has to help them, and they won't know unless they are told. They sure do appreciate it when I do help them though, and they thank me for telling them what they did wrong. I think that is what we should do is help them whenever we can. After all, we were newbies at one time too, and we got help, so we should return the favor. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I like to do the same thing after a while since most of the topics on the main discussion board are ones that I've already seen several times that day.
