Why doesn't some mylotters doesn't respond to their friends discussions ????

Congratulations. If you have only been here for 9 days and have over 400 points, you have been doing well. I haven't read any of your discussions (apart from this one) so I can't comment specifically on your discussions. However, this is a common problem and most of the possible reasons you give are true in some cases. One very disappointing aspect is that some myLotians post some very good discussions and yet never return to read, rate and comment on the responses received. I cannot understand this. I believe the main way to counter this is to be careful in your selection of friends. I notice you have over 100 friends. Some of us keep a smaller number of friends, retaining those who share similar interests and respond to one another's discussions. The first thing I do on myLot is check "discussions my friends started" and try to reply to at least one discussion of each friend. I delete friends who never return to read, rate and respond to their own discussions.

Yes, this is the fact that all friends are doing what you expect from them. Certainly there are some reasons including those mentioned above. One reason what I understand is we make friends without having the sense of responsibility how to tackle with? Because in mylot what i have observed, friends are nothing but meant for discussions and responses. Do good have good is always there, but not necessary here. Expect nothing from friends if you are doing nothing for them even if you are doing ;) Be happy friend and carry on the business! LoL

Hello there, basically it all just got said by yourself and the other posters above me, I often spread myself a bit thin on the internet, and try hard to get around all the places where I have a home, but if for some reason I need to spend time at one place for updates or maintenance, well, that means I don't get to all my favourite places that day. I tried to keep my friends list short, not like hundreds and hundreds that some people have. So, I do try to get around my friends and wave my flag in their discussions at least every couple of weeks. Otherwise, I'd be stuck in MyLot all the time.

if a friends discussion topic interests me i will answer it, my problem is that i dont always have the time to do them all. When you have an active friends network it is difficult to keep up with them all, blessed be

Almost all my friends from my list know that I always supported them. But some of them needed to understand that the least they should do is to post topics that I can fully understand. A lot of them are posting threads about their country, about a certain person known only by them, about computer and about sports. I do not mind if they have poor english for as long as I comprehend what they're posting. Happy posting!!!

it s not lik that and all.. it depends on the persons.. some amy not respond but many people do respond.. it s because they think that if they oppose friends they might feel bad so only it might be like that....

I have been asked by over 250 to be their friend , I try so hard to keep up with them , I rate all my responses and try to keep up with answering all that have answered mine , I am not one of your friends but I would imagine they will be trying their best too , If I find someone I have forgotten then I try to go through their discussions one by one , I always hope I haven't hurt someones feelings by missing them out altogether xx

Well for me I don't respond back not because I mean to but because I am busy most of the time. I try my best to respond though but i don't have all the time in the world.

well here I go an answer to your questions. frist let me start by saying you only been here for 9 days and wow 408 posts and a 9 in your star and 106 friends that is great. good job. 1. as for qualtiy- it might not be to you but the person that made the discusssion just might think that it is to them. 2. there is always something you can write even if its just to say hey to someone. 3. what do you concider to long maybe some think that yours in not long enough. 4. language- well you put doesn't in your first line here so what is wrong with your language. that is not a good reason to not make a post to someones discussions. and last but not least. 5. Iam sure that with 109 friends that someone in your friends list is posting on your discussions. so I guess that I dont agree with your reasons for this discussions. sorry if this upsets you.

I have most of my friends set up on alerts so that MyLot tells me that they posted one, but I don't always have time to get to them. It may take me a couple of weeks to get to them, but I try to get to them eventually. Also, depends on what the topics are. Why post if I have no idea what they are talking about? One of my friends posted something about baseball season. I don't want it, don't have a favorite team and had no idea the season was even coming on. Why post just to say sorry, I have no clue what you are talking about? Then it looks like I am padding my responses and just trying to make a few cents. If I have no real advice or knowledge, I don't respond.

It never bothers me whether my friends responded to my discussions or non friends. I myself don't always respond to my friend's discussions even though they are interesting and I can relate to it. This is everyone's prerogative, whether they want to respond to you or not. It is also your prerogative not to respond to your friend's discussions. I found most friends here I can ask for advice and help in moneymaking endeavours or technical problems. I can just PM them and they will reply, that's good enough for me.

some people might not respond to conversations maybe b/c they don't have anything to say about it. Maybe it's a topic or a question they don't have any input on O.o Not sure

Hi Samrat iam new too but i have been here longer than you but still managed very little posts b'cos i think i keep checking other sites as wellwhile chatting here...i think i should be more focused. But for 9 days old you have managed to post quite a lot!!...and i didnot know that you can end up chatting ONLY with friends. also i keep reading every comment i like to see wat others are saying! But iam learning all the time!

well if they do not respond it may be the reason that they don't hv guts to face their friends or they don't wanna say something in discussion which may hurt their friends............. thats what i believe in............... because i'll not say something which may hurt mr friend until and unless it is neccesssary and required to tell about...............

maybe because he/she not intersted in the topic i got like alot of friend of mylot but only a handful respond to my post whenever i post them nothing against anyone but if they dont feel like it, i dont get upset neither i understand

I try to answer to all my friend's discussions ,unless there is something I can't relate to or just don't come up with something significant to post.The reasons you outlined are quite appropriate.As for the order,the last one that you listed might actually be the first as I have seen some responding to discussions of friends who respond back.That said,I try to respond to as many as I can.

I think mostly because the quality of the discussion is poor or it's been posted too long. I know that it's been a few days for me since I've been able to be on here-and some of the discussions are already "outdated".

hi dear, i am really impress you your discussion is very nice . there are many problems due to which many time friend"s cannot respond to their friend.but first think i can remind that you also know that by respond a friend also money so there is not any illeagal reason to reply, a many time there are certain problems arise that a friend have not much more time to reply all his friend discussion so that some time they cannot reply ,or some times they cannot understand the disussion motive due to some grammatical or spelling mistake . bye friend

It is better to "expect the unexpected" so that you don't feel disappointed when "some" don't respond to your post. I am sure they just miss it out or busy...but for sure they will on their free time 'coz this is how we earn here, we need friends and we need to respond and to post. Be positive ok? Goodluck and i hope we will keep in touch;)

i would respond to the disscussion i am interest in. and some disscussions ,i think ,are meaningless,so i don't want to reply it.
