For me, i actually love posting my own discussion. But however, it doesn't get much responses. I actually don't know why, maybe because my discussions are too serious and a lot of people don't like too much serious things to talk about. So now, i am just curious if it's only me, or does anyone of you feels the same way. What you really prefer, making your own discussion or commenting on other's topic Thank you in advance for responding.

hi! because of the limited time on my hands to do mylot, i prefer to respond to others' discussions rather than start my own. if i start my own discussions, i won't be readily available to comment back on the responses because i am sometimes away for several days to a few weeks at a time when busy. i don't want to appear kinda rude by not responding or commenting back should there be responses in the discussion. so i opt to just participate in others'. not getting many responses can be because of many different factors. topic, discussion length and interest group - something other people can relate to. sometimes serious ones attract serious types. lighter topics attract more people. interaction - sometimes, more mylotters are encouraged to participate in discussions wherein the starter interact with the responders. and i see that you comment back on some of your responders. active friends - it helps when you have friends who share same interests with you and quite active in posting. time of day - we are international users who are from different time zones. not everyone is mylotting when you post your discussions so it's highly possible that you won't get as much responses at a certain time of day. just enjoy and interact with more mylotters. have a great day!
