Best time to start a discussion.

There are 73,851 registered users here, about 22,000 on the Indian sub-continent and 21,000 in North and South Americas so you want to hit the time zones for when they are awake. The next question is are people on line during the day or after work/school? That I don't know but I would guess the latter.

I don't really think the time matters , I think the main thing is that it makes people want to say something back to you , sometimes I think "yes this will be good" and not many reply , then I think " nobody will answer " and they do , so I think the best thing really is to have nice friends on here so you answer their discussion and they answer your in return . xx Have fun ,I do

The success of a discussion some times depends on time and day.Some times our best discussion does not get any reply and some times a bad discussions gets more reply.

I think it is not the time as we all come from different timezone and to say afternoon may mean evening in the Philippines. For me and based on experience, there are two things that i noticed whenever i start a discussion. The more catchy the title is or the more short and direct it is as well, the more chances people see it and be curious then interested. Second, the more discussions i put in a night, the less for it to be all noticed. I dont know why but if i post one or two new topic everyday, it gains more replies than me starting 5 topic all at once. It gives less chances to have the rest of your topics getting buried witht he old ones.

ya it very much depends with time..but in this case i dont think soo itz of any need here......may be topics in recent news will get more responses here..as this time on cricket as worldcup is near....factors important regarding this is the topic,its quality....

i think subject is much more important than time,you know,people are from all over the world,and their time zone are different,so no matter when you start a discussion,there will be someone seeing it,and of course not only one,the point is,if they are really interested in it and if they respond to it,your discussion will keep the top and more and more people will see it and respond to it. lol,that's what i think.

I think it is more about the quality of the discussion and if enough people can relate to it, because a lot of people here are from different time-zones, so there is no one time that would be good, because everyone is on Mylot at different times.

I think that has something to do with it but not all. I think also you have to put a title on your discussion that is going to catch the members eye. Make them want to read your discussion. I don't think it is just one thing that makes a success of a discussion but a few things.
