Does it only affect Chinese members?

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 18 Apr 13

Today I learned a news that Yahoo mail in China will be unavailable since August 19 this year. I don't know why they have such kind of rule? Is Yahoo lack of money? I wonder whether it will only affect Chinese users or later it...

dee777 @dee777 (1417) • South Africa 15 Jan 13

I have been posting lots of comments and started about fifty discussions on myLot for a month now and are not even close to $10? What am I doing wrong? How many comments do you deliver per day to earn some money?

aprilsong Well, it will be a long time before you can get the minimum amount to require a payment for most people. And for me, it took more than one year to reach 10$. Well, it of course also because that I didn't read carefully about the guidelines of mylot and lost...
