Keep It Going- But How Often Does It Happen?

It happens when it's like that but it could also happen when there's a debate going on or if the topic is interesting. I've been here for quite a long time now and I've also witnessed and have been on stringing discussions. It's fun especially when the discussion is light-hearted. Although it could also get interesting during debates, you can't really avoid the clash of beliefs here because this is a place where people from all around the globe hang out.

I agree, you mostly see these types of discussions are usually among the veterans of Mylot who have been friends with each other for quite awhile.I would just like to see more people prolonging their discussions and responses by adding further comments anytime they feel they can still contribute to it.it;s just not done very often here.

Besides the long discussions i see among friends , you also see on religious debates, even though most of them continue because there's so many disagreements and arguments there, where everyone wants to be right and no one gives up their different points of view or will even go halfway.but, as you mentioned , we have people here from all around the world and we can't expect all agreeing opinions.

Funny you should post this discussion because a member posted one Saturday complaining that she did not understand why members pop into boxes getting off topic to earn. By the time I reached the discussion many were telling her that the members at times do get off topic but it is how some ask questions and further continue to post in effort to continue answering to the questions. So by then, I researched her prior discussion and realized it was my comment box she was referring to, at which time I noticed she had it all wrong because although I started the thread it was completely relevant to her discussion. Another member popped into my box to say that she was impressed with my progress and after viewing my profile information she felt she has to come in and ask how do I do it. Since it was a question directed to me of course I came back to comment. After my comment another member who happen to be new came into the box and also asked a few questions directing questions to me about how the site worked. So naturally having received the alert I responded. So you see by the time 6 days later she came back to her discussion she had nothing to say outside of thank you, then had the audacity to start a discussion about how people go on posting for the sake of earning. Couple things wrong there, not only was she not new, cut clearly has no clue what a discussion entails because how on earth does anyone go on in life being asked questions and have no expectation of replies. So you see some people just do not understand the concept of discussion and while I don't care if someone like that gets upset but when someone asks me questions, regardless of who the OP is I will always respond, lol.. Sadly by the time I saw the discussion others I suppose did like me and reviewed her recent history and noticed that she was completely wrong and while they gently explained in their opinion, she because resistant, rude and mean. Therefore Admin must have seen the flamed discussion and deleted it. So unfortunately some people just want a quick question and answer chat site. What I don't get is these are the same people who complain they do not earn. lol..

Unbelievable!, but it happens so often i wonder where you and others find the patience to constantly have to explain what Mylot is "supposed" to be about since very often you find some people just don't like the answer they receive and become rude in their response and then at a later date, complain they're not earning anything. Getting a little off topic hereJust the other day i received an e-mail notification from someone who left a comment under a response i had posted "3" months ago, i was so happy to see this since this tells me, some people are understanding that it doesn't matter how long ago a discussion was posted,by leaving a comment you not only earn from this but you also bring somethng new to a discussion that may have been forgotten.Just by commenting on my response ,this person opened up a whole new conversation and i think that's just great

Hi Friend:Oh, So sorry to hear about your grandma, my condolences to you and your family. i agree, i've always said how sad it is when people take the time to respond to a discussion and receive no replies from the OP.but,then some will continue to complain they're not earning here, but won't listen to advice as to why.They still continue to believe that all they have to do to earn is post as many discussions possible and that's it. Plus, why would anyone not appreciate us commenting in their boxes? when actually once a discussion is posted,it becomes everyones discussion and i would the think the more others comment, the more enjoyable an ongoing discussion becomes and no one should get upset if others feel the need to add thier comments. I myself may not often comment on an ongoing discussion among friends who have been here for quite a while since i feel i would really have nothing to say, but i do enjoy reading them since a lot of the time, the comments are really funny.

I agree, sometimes going off topic is necessary to clarify a point and can even be fun. It takes time and effort to go back and view those who have responded. Also, maybe members may not be aware that they need to go back under the response tab. At the bottom of that page there are numbers leading to past discussions they've responded to. It isn't automatically brought to the top. You have to go 'hunting' for it.

When I respond (or comment) on an inteesting topic where i think that the OP will come back and comment, I usually leave a tab open even for days. Then it is easy to keep up with what is being said as the conversation moves forward. I agree though that it is not essy for newer users to getthe hang of how things can be found here.

Hi Diana:As far as going "off topic" in any discussion i agree that most,if not all conversations offline do this.I have never sat around a table with friends or family, where the discussion stayed on any one subject,why should it be any different here?As long as we're addressing the initial question or problem asked by the thread starter,no one should have a problem with the exchanges continuing and making the discussion more interesting and enjoyable. I do realize some members will shy away from adding their comments in an exchange between friends, feeling as though it's a "private" conversation and i must admit i have done that myself,but i'm never offended by these discussions and really enjoy reading them. Oh, BTW,i can't believe someone actually told you your weren't "welcome" on their discussion, guess this person doesn't realize that once posted, the discussion belongs to everyone and is not theirs alone. but don't you know you should never disagree with certain people's opinion?shame on you

Hi Hatley and OreoCookie3: Going back and adding further comments on a discussion is,i agree very enjoyable.We can always think of other things to add later on and that is what keeps a discussion alive and interesting.I just wish more members would realize that the continuous interaction of Mylot's members is what makes it a true discussion forum.Yes OreoCookie, getting paid for this is not a bad thing either,
