I find it real hard to come up with atleast one good discussion on a day.but some of the mylotters come up with so many OMG.where do they get those topics from to start about. They might be really looking out for topics all day long LOL.but they do come up with standard ones so I appreciate them for that. Some of my mylot friends seldom start any discussions coz they are very busy in responding.may be they would know whom i am addressing to haha So how about you Would you prefer coming up with 10 Average discussions or Stick to one Good Discussion?

Many discussions a day is not worth it unless you get back and comment on al the responses. It's like starting a conversation and walking off and turning your back on the peoplr who talk to you. For this reason I don't start many at all. I like to be able to comment back to the first responses when I post a discussion and if I know I will not have time to do so I don't start even one. I used to average about one a week but this month I think I have started at the most two, maybe even only one.

Erm... yes... that one did receive a lot I got back to all of them though and I can see that you are doing the same thing You will soon be having the same results here too because Lotters interact with those who do not neglect them - keep it up!

Hi Sunny, I better start with one good discussion. I seldom start a discussion but i make sure that i am not repeating any previous discussions. THat's my fear of making a new one-- for my discussion to look like the previous discussions of mylot members that maybe i was not able to check, see and read. I feared of being deleted for somewhat a topic with lots of duplications. So for a good one, i make it a point to respond back to all the responses and make it as a true discussion topic. However, i admired those mylot members who can start lots of discussions in a day. I am one of those who responded on to theirs. They are my friends and i am notified every time they have a new one. So, i choose from among their posts and sometimes even responded to all especially if i am in the mood.

I think you can check in the discussions of mylot if it has been already started by some one else or not and then you can proceed. Initially i used to start many but few of them ended up with existing ones so used get those deleted.From then onwards i make it a point to see that i dont repeat the existing discussions.gud day.

yes there's really a way to check but i better spend my time responding on to other's discussion that's kind unique, interesting and not repetitive to avoid being deleted in the end! We are learning a lot here right???!!!

I have also wondered how people come up with so many discussions. That's why I have only ever started one discussion as I'm never sure what will be popular and generate good replies. Plus I may end up writing about something that has already been done. I personally would rather just keep replying to posts that have already been started as I find that a lot easier and quicker to do.

If I started a topic and replied to every single reply, I don't think that I would have time to do anything else. I'm sticking to just replying to those posts that are already out there.

If at all we have time to keep with comments then we can start one else it is better to be with the responding ones.gud day.

i think responding is really easy when compared to starting one coz you got to select an topic,and then keep track of all discussions and stick to it if at all you get some good responses else it would be worse.gud day.

Hi sunnycool, I dont know how you all come up with any discussion at all! I guess I am normally a person who participates in discussions. I rarely can come up with a discussion. I do have some questions that come to my mind off and on. But that is so rare! Hope you all wont really mind not receiving any best responses from me. :) I have received many mylotters, and thanks for them. :)

Hi lol, I always create my own discussion. Many of my discussion is created based on "quest of light and energy". I hav many questions about light but i felt that my mylotters may felt bore to discuss about the same theme about light so i plan to change my idea to create discussion about some general things like movie,games and the like..,

May be you are right prakash coz most of the mylotters are house wives or working men with knowledge about computers and all other online stuff.so you hardly find any responses for discussions related to physical sciences. It there are more chances to get responses for an topic which is familiar to most of them.Thank you for responding..gud day.

It really depends on the kind of discussions gong on. If the discussions are interesting and quality discussion than i don't mind responding to all of them, if i have time. other wise if there are no discussion which are of my interest , i simply go through the posts and go without answering.

hi bluray,the best discussions would always get more responses coz no one is really interested in responding to routine kind of discussions.thank you for responding.gud day.

I find that one, or maybe two good discussion is better. Most of the posts here aren't really discussions. A discussion is a back and forth between people. A lot of the "discussions" her are posts with people putting up a response, then that's it. If the responses go back and forth two or three times its rare. Never mind a real discussion where you would need lots of short back and forth statements between individuals.

hi jogsa and welcome to mylot. Some people really loose track of the responses of the discussions they have started coz many of them are working and they cant spend more time in here so they prefer replying tats it. But if you can make some friends then you can have good time at your discussion. Thank you for responding gud day.

Hi sunnycool, do you mean ten a day? No one could keep on top of responses for ten discussions a day. It also depends on what you mean as a good discussion, I may start two and have one which gets really popular but in my mind the other one is a better topic, but one ends up being in itself a better discussion as it becomes the more interactive of the two.

hi Thea even it happens to me coz i start one with an intention of getting more responses but it some times ends up with few responses and the one(i think to be a normal one ends up with many responses. Mylotters are really hard to be understood. gud day

I'd rather come up with one good discussion every couple of weeks or longer than one inane discussion every day just to get my post count up. I don't like responding to discussions such as "What is your favorite color?" or "What is your favorite shoe style," and I try not to put anyone who reads my discussions through it, either. Quality, not quantity, is what matters the most.

I prefer to post 1 good discussion rather than 10 average. Usually when I post a question/discussion I ask something I really need to know, like advice, recipes, suggestions, not just asking what's your fav color.

I would rather write one good discussion so that I could focus on that and get good responses from people. The whole point of discussions is to share opinions and get information. I like to start discussions that have to do with my life or something I'm interested in. There are ideas floating all around us, you just have to choose one and talk about it! Also, if I have one good dicussion posted for that day, I'm more likely to respond to comments that people make on my discussion.

I really find it hard to get along with two discussions and often fail to keep up with the comments.so i have decided to come up with one good topic which can also be an good hanging out with my mylot friends..gud day.
