Replies?

Yes it seems to happen like that but one day someone will come along a respond to one of your old discussions and it starts all over again, everyone has discussions with no replies, just keep plodding along....:)

Cheer up man... U should have a disussion that will make peoples to express from their heart and not from their brain cells.. They all will feel it as a stressfull work(making the brain to work is a hard job, isn't it :-) )

I get very good replies when I post something. Also it contains quality messages which has helped me a lot in my day to day life. I usually create discussions which are bothering me or my family so that its a problem solving exercise. I also post the messages on public health problems. Being a medico I have been always useful for others to solve the health related problems.

I have noticed that if it has a juicy head line there tends to be more replies.I listed one on george w bush and another on global warming and they both sank like bricks.But I guess people get tired of debating the same things over and over again.

i replied to threads that i believe i can give more input or i can relate to. well, other threads get more response even if they are quite pathetic or should i say easier to reply with, let is not forget that most of the members here are after the points and therefore reply easily to those topics that requires shorter understanding.

ya. even i feel the same.the maximum no of responses i have got so far was three.Am wondering how to make people get involved in a healthy discussion.

Yeah, but the problem there is , my friend, there are lot and lot of dicussions posts posted in every minute. Most of them are lefter untouched. Each person may have there own interests. If a person didnt see a listing based on his interest then he seldom post more. And lack of the use of comments too makes good discussions hidden for the interested users... And , be sure that u start a discussion from the interest group. So that it will be having more attention. More the members of the group, more attention u got.

well i read always a topic head line then i select if topic Subject look interesting so i always check it and give a responce or commennts ever...

Exactly same problem i have faced, i got so many discussions i felt shud be addressed and i havent got any replies for them. i have not yet put up any discussion which are worthless n all, but i know some useless or senseless topics ppl. discuss get so amny responses, well now i ahve decided , me too gonna put such discussions, no other go, then lets see if i get more replies or not.

heheeeee, I reply u just because I have the same thing with u.When I make a discussion but there is no people reply me.heheeee

I think that it comes down to the fact that a lot of people are lazy. They don't wan't to read a lengthy discussion that someone has posted and then have to think of a response and actually 'discuss' something. It is much easier for people to talk crap and give a couple of sentences for their response. This way, they can respond to more and more posts and think they are getting paid alot for it. Personally, I just scroll through pages and pages of the never ending crap until I find something that I feel I am able to respond to and discuss, intelligently. Unfortunately a lot of people are here because they think they will make a quick buck and ruin the whole mylot experience for the rest of us. Enjoy the rest of your day. :)

that's the problem of MyLot - you cant see a good decent discussions getting big and healthy - instead of this you get like tons of useless discussions like " your favoutir color plzzzzzz" and usch a discussions are pathetic! I started few discussions myself - concerning US troops, PAtriot Act etc and got almost no anwsers what is so sad for me since there is no reply on serious discussions at all!!

I think it's because people can't be bothered to think about their answer all the time and purposely pick simple discussions/questions to respond to. To be honest, in the past I've done that myself!

Yes I found that too..... I went out of my way with some of my topics and I only get a couple respond. Now how about being a bit fair considering we cannot copy and paste till we have enough posts. I am not a bad person either and I have alot of experiences in all areas and most response I have seen is no more than a sentence. Fair go myLot!!!

the topic should be in general..the people in mylot should relate on it..

Yeah is the question whose answer not only vary much person to person but also from time to time.. But what I think is there is no hard and foremost rule in judging which thread is to be answered and which one not to answered..The simple answer from my side is that I choose those threads which I think I am comfortable in discussing and also able to provide sufficient solution to the user from my side..So I choose those discussions which are of my interest..

I think I also have this experience. I guess most members are only here to make money, So they need responses they can answer with a single line, or a phrase. But I bet you, such answers won't help anyone. What I did was just to do a mixture of both. Sometimes serious and sometimes playful.

I usually respond to threads that strike my interest or that i really have some similar experience with. yes i have posted a few discussion where i got no response where i though many people will respond and an overwhelming responses for the discussions that i thought might not have made any noise. I guess thats how it goes sometimes.

I usually reply to discussions base on my interest, if i don't find any discussions there that interest me i would look into new discussions as well as discussions with no replies. I know how you fell my friend, its frustating to know that even if you have posted a quality, interesting and conversational topic no one responded to it. I used to post topics too but decided to divert my energy in responding to topics because of the said reasons. Users is more likely to answer topics regarding earnings, mylot, mylot rules and problems. This is a sad reality we have to face. I just hope someday users will change their habits pertaining to answering discussions.

First I decide subject of topics posted here. If I can make enough response then only I post reply otherwise ignore it and jump over other topic. I also give weightage to friends postings.
