Back to memory lane!

Yes it sounds quite interesting that what feelings come up when we see our old post. I am a bit new here and have not started so many discussion so I have to wait a little more for this experience. But yes, in other sphere of life when people say or do things which recalls our past, I also have felt mixed emotions because all the things come in front of my eyes -- bad ones and good ones.

I am here not even one year and I did not post that many discussions, so I really do not have your experience. I think I would smile at myself while reading it and thought of how cute I was at the beginning. I understand your feeling, as many in my friend friends butch are not here either. I kind of wonder where are they now and what can I do to make them come back?

Yes, because it does make you wonder about things in here and make you remember some of the many Good times that I have had in here as well. I know you and I have been here for a long time now, and it makes you wonder where some of these people are now for sure. I often hope they are all doing Good still and that things just got in the way. Glad you are still wanting to stick around here as well.

Hi Deepak, Of late, as I age and my hair turns grey increasingly, I realize that I’m becoming too cynical, practical and lazy to really enjoy memories. It seems more and more of a waste of time to rewind the clock and burble about times which will not affect me in any way. Memory is interesting and worth revisiting, only if I have something to cull from it…otherwise it has little sentimental value for me. Since you know me here for quite a long time, you’d notice (not that you have to) that there are very few discussions that I’ve personally started… staring my own discussions seems rather a distracting thing… it leaves me with little leeway to check out more interesting discussions (like the ones you start)… so the very few that I’ve started, were time specific…they are no longer relevant to me today. Hence, I never go back to my old discussions… yes there are new friends, who are courteous enough to visit my profile and shift thru the pathetically low count of discussions started by me and post a worthwhile response… I’m thankful and grateful to them for that but it doesn’t really make me maudlin about old times.

I saw some older discussions coming back to life yesterday, bth my own and those of friends! I don't start many new ones and my older ones keep popping back into the limelight. It is good to see them still receiving responses and comments and some are still topics that seem very actual and could have been started even recently. There is a lot of reading on some of them that received several pages of responses and I feel sad for those who wade through them all before leaving their own response As soon as one of my old topics receives a new rsponse I get back and comment to whoever left it so that they know that I am still here and will possibly come back again too!

I’ve felt like that whenever any of my old posts have been resurrected. It is strange when I read my really old stuff. It seems to me that it was written by somebody else. My style of writing has changed a lot over time and I can sure see the growth in some of my earlier posts and others I rather forget about!

Hi Deepak, It happened with me many times, somebody even dug up my first topic in mylot. It helps me to realize the mistake; I have not resolved that topic, just because of my lack of knowledge in the initial stage. By getting an opportunity to read the old topics in this way make me realizing the changes in writing, some improvements, some laziness (lol). I would like to add that one of my one year old discussions recently got 98 responses; a year ago it was on 93, somebody given a life to that topic again so I received five more responses.

hi dpk. you have not accepted my FR yet, didn't you? there are times, from time to time, someone here will make me feel the nostalgia. newly found friends usually do this for me. and some times, i also do the same if i have new friend added to my list. i make them feel older, on mylot, by reviving their old discussions. i guess this is really time for you to act on my FR.

I have been here alittle over three years now. I used to get about three times the notifications I get now. I have seen people come and go. I still see some of the old ones here occasionally. I have befriended many of them on Facebook and am able to keep track of how they are doing over there.

Yes there was a time also where i was surprised someone responded a very old discussion of mine and it brought back nostalgia! it was nice

hello dpk, This is my 2nd year here in mylot. So far no one ever dig up my oldest topic a year ago. But i also observed that some old mylotters when i first signed up here are not around. More new mylotters are participating with my topics now. I missed few old mylotters that i shares with comment and opinion before,some also helped me when i am just a newbie here.

I have been a member for less than a year, so I don't have that old discussions. I do respond to some old discussions sometimes. Yesterday I responded to a 5 year old discussion and the discussion starter commented right back. I like that very much. I wish to see someone replying to my old discussions sometimes, but I can only hope for the moment.

not on Mylot since I'm relatively new here, but on forums and on Youtube. Yeah, it feels a bit weird to read one's own posts after a couple of years. Sometimes I think it was written by someone else or I think that it's total rubbish or it sounds reasonable and brings back memories. Funny stuff! Cheers

Oh yeah! Of course! I logged on my old gaiaonline account and read my old RP that I frequented and brought back so many memories. I surprised myself with how much imagination I had. Now I`m all old and boring lol. Nostalgia is a great thing.

Hi DPK, I had one that was a year old once resurrected by a new user and yes it was lovely reading over the comments and realising like you that there are so many people who don't seem to be here anymore, luckily I am in touch with some of them by email but yes it does make me feel nostalgic as some of these discussions were so much fun too. Huggles. Ellie :D

ive had that happen! i cant even remember how many years ive been here lol but i have had a few replies to 1+ year old discussions and sadly most are asking questions about problems i was having right then and are pointless now but hey at least it gets the topic going again =)

Yes, I have experienced that feeling too. Wow, you have been here for 5 years already? That's great. Bringing us back to memory lane through those discussions, reminds me of many wonderful myLotters that we make friends with. Those fun discussion that we had and it is truly a joy indeed. Thanks :)

Well it's really nice to know that there are some people who go through all the old discussions of very old members. I think you have been here for a very long time. It's nice to meet and know someone who has been in mylot and it shows that such sites like this can really be good unlike some others which go scam when they want and how they want to. Cheers!
