We all use tags and start a discussion under interest so that our discussion show up under particular interest an with some discussions at the bottom in similar discussions. I am curious about what is do you really go to those discussion which show up at the bottom of the page when you open a discussion. I do keep an eye on those discussion and if I can find any interesting I respond to that. I can't remember of getting any responses from people who start those discussions that show up at the bottom when I open my disucssions. Do you go to those discussions to respond usually?

I take a peek at those to see what the opinions of others are outside of my circle of friends. Sometimes I commment and sometimes I don't. It just seems redundant. At times it does not seem that the topics are at all related even though thier titles make them appear to be.

Most of the time topics are very different. They happen to be in similar discussion catagory because of only tags.

Yes I usually go to the discussions that needed a respond.I see to it that I can respond it in a positive way.If not I would not dare to respond.I always check all my discussions and see to it that I have responded to all replied discussions.

Using the tags is a great way to help discussions get categorized. It helps to definitely point us in the direction of quality discussions. I always look at the discussion links that appear at the bottom of a discussion I am in, because it just might lead me to other discussions that are based on a topic that I know something about, and therefore, I can give an equal and quality response. Between searching through my 'friends list' for quality discussions, and the similar discussion links at the bottom of a discussion, I ensure myself an easy means of searching Mylot for quality discussions.

Not so much on discussions I've started, but often after I answer a discussion I'll go peek at the ones at the bottom.

I do that only sometimes and most often just pass those discussions unless the subject catches my attention. If I'm answering to discussions from my interests then I make sure I take a look there because I might find something immediately rather than having to look for more discussions of the similar kind. A few of my discussions regarding cheaters have shown up at the bottom I think, that way users have responded to all the discussions I've started on cheaters ;)

Yes I do sometimes. If it seems be some thing that I have missed in my topic or I can perhaps learn from their discussion that may now show in the responses I receive.

I generally have a look at the posts at the bottom of the page. If there´s something interesting, I respond to it. I´ve found quite a few original discussions there. Sometimes I get a response to one of my posts from a person who´s started a discussion in that section. Or even a friend´s request.

I do go to the discussions on the bottom of the most pages as they are of a similar nature and looking at those discussions shows up different views of the same subject that could have been missed previously. have a nice day from Deeeky.

No never .. or hardly ever .. I think I'd been in MyLot for several weeks before I even noticed the selection at the bottom of the screen .. and that's because I don't scroll up and down a lot .. just see what's in the middle and that's it .. And if I did reply to them then I'd really only have roughly the same reply as I'd just made as they are all similar aren't they .. maybe I should just copy and paste my own reply hehe

I usually look to see what's there. Sometimes I respond to them depending if I am interested. I think sometimes it's an easy way of finding things to respond to when I am running out of interesting things on my friends discussions. I sometimes get responses from people I have never seen before that have been here a while. I figure that's probably how they found my discussion.

Yes, sometime it's very easy to find some interesting discussion under similar discussion.

I am entering to every discussion that I can. When I finish responding, i'm scroling down to see another discussions with the same tage, and that way I can respond more, and increase my earnings here. It's a great way to earn.

i do indeed go through any of the discussion i can.especiall if they are from my intrests i can never ignore them.even if i dont reply and post i simply love reading what the other users think about the discussion.after we reply to a discussion the discussions that appear at the bottom will mostly be from the same type of topics which makes it easier to reply to posts and post good discussions.

Sometimes I do go and respond to those discussions. If there's something that catches my eye I'll look and respond if I feel I can. Sometimes it's something I can learn from, or other times, it's tips and advice that I can use for my own means. I find it a little amusing though that the Mylot rules state that we should start the same discussion as someone else, yet no matter if we do a search and no discussions come up, there's always "similar" ones at the bottom of the page lol.

Most of the times, I realised the similarity of my discussion after I have posted my discussion. It becomes a good gauge for me to see the responses I can expect. At times, I too respond to the discussions. After responding to a discussion, I do respond from similar discussions at the bottom if the topic caught my attention and I have something to comment on. I do not make the same response for 2 discussion topics though.

it depends on whether or not there is anthing else that i cant find interesting to respond to..i try and respond to all of my "friends", and from my interests, but sometimes i scroll down the discussion page, just to see what there is. the tags are very useful.

yes I like having a look at the discussions appearing at the bottom of my page when I use tags or start a new discussion...if I find something I like, I am used to answering ...it is a way to find something we like and I am happy they give us this other opportunity, too..this is another way I knew many people that now are in my friend list here...so ..I think I'll keep on doing this...there is always so m uch to read ...the problem is having the time to do all...reading, posting and sending messages to people we like and we would like to know better!!!

I'm still quite new at this myLot thing so basically I don't have a routine set in stone. I tend to look at responses to my discussions first and rate them and comment on them where necessary. Then I'll go to my friends discussions and respond to the ones I feel I can add some valid input to. Whilst I'm replying I usually do look at the discussions below and if I spot a title which grabs my attention I'll go in and respond there too! I make sure I go back to responding to friends' discussions but I do like to get a wide range of activity on the site and it's not always possible if you stick to just your friends' discussions :)

Doin almost similar thing is what I hate , so I just have a glance but till date I haven't found anything so interesting that I respond to that immediately after I've responded to something almost similar. Mylot is for discussions and to help our friends all over or to share some stuff with them, so we need to be fresh and respond actively. Responding to a similar stuff makes you feel more boring so I just skip that ,but if some related topic is infront of me , say after 10 posts ,then I may have something different for that as well.

yes i do always see what responses i'm getting.and the discussions i've responded to i also see if the person who had started it has written any response in return.
