I was recently put on a new medication for my Bipolar disorder, called Abilify. Its helping the things its meant to - my anxiety and rapid mood swings. The problem is it seems to be hurting my creativity. I struggle with...

echomonster It's good that Abilify is helping with your anxiety and mood swings, but I'm sorry to hear about the side effects. I think Yuki gave some really good advice about giving yourself time to get used to the medicine, but if the problems persist it might be worth...

Going Hard at MyLot

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5093) • St. Louis, Missouri 6 Sep 15

I've basically just dabbled with this site since I found out about it (when it went back to a paying site). Today I've decided to spend most of my day here...while I watch college football...and see how much progress I can make....

echomonster Good luck Lola! I'm still trying to crack the elusive one cent mark on the new Lot so I'm not really expecting to reach payout for a decade or so unless I radically change the way I use the site. I'm mainly just glad the site is back at this point and active...

Some people blocked me but it's ok

Cristian Ichim @Cristi_Ichim (3743) • Bucharest, Romania 6 Sep 15

I even know the reasons why some people blocked me. They felt offended by something that I said and I know what is the reason behind that. It is the way I said it that upset them. Well, not everyone likes me and that is fine. If...

echomonster I've never used the block feature personally, and practically every situation I can think of where I'd want to use it the report feature would probably be more appropriate since any user I'd want to block would be breaking a myLot rule (or three). I can't...

I heard this was paying again and thought I'd check it out for myself.

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12303) • United States 3 Sep 15

So curiosity who of my former followers on here are back? I see a lot of people I used to follow haven't been on here since like 2013, around the same time I joined the other site. Thought I'd reintroduce myself again for those...

echomonster I don't think we crossed paths before here on myLot, but welcome back anyway! I've noticed too that lots of my old myLot friends haven't made it back yet, but I'm expecting more and more of them to trickle in as they hear the news. Did you keep in touch with...

How many of you got here on the first day when myLot reappeared with payment back in place?

Always smiling @allknowing (137771) • India 3 Sep 15

It was on 19th July that myLot made its appearance with payment back in place. I wasted no time to write my post on that day. Did you write too and what was your post? My post is...

echomonster Unfortunately, I only found out today that myLot was back as a paying site. I would have loved to have been here on the big comeback day, but I'd gotten discouraged with the level of discourse on the new site and obviously stopped visiting as regularly. It's...

What's the most you've ever made with MyLot?

Rachel Sims @RachelDSims24 (175) • United States 3 Sep 15

Alright, team, it's time to get personal. I'm still new to MyLot, and I'm just curious about everyone else's results, since I'm extremely nosey. What's the most you've earned through MyLot in any given month? In a day? In a week?...

echomonster With the old myLot, I would generally aim to make $10 a month but often not reach it. I never thought of it as a job that I'd pour x number of hours into...I just really enjoyed being able to make money while participating in discussions! I have to admit I...

echomonster Welcome back! I remember that myLot used to zero out your earnings if you hadn't logged in in three months, but they were always good about keeping accounts open even if people went inactive for long periods. Now there are no earnings to zero out which is...

echomonster Congrats! It's great to see that someone is still earning money from articles. The way some people talk it would seem like it's almost impossible to do so now. Still, I have heard good things about Wikinut recently. I guess the old sites I used to write...

Heard from bubblews

Eric Fink @esfes025 (432) • Elkhart, Indiana 30 Jul 14

people who have read my posts know one rant I have is that bubblews is not the greatest about responding to email messages. In this link: http://www.bubblews.com/news/5078136-i-actually-heard-back-from-bubblews I mention how...

echomonster I don't know...1/8 doesn't seem like a very good response rate. I tend to get offended if I write even a single message and don't get a response if I was asking a question that required an answer (just speaking generally...I've never contacted Bubblews or...

echomonster Yeah, I think we're not used to it getting so cold here in the South. I hear we're going to get hit by another cold spell soon. The seesaw temperatures are tough to adjust to, but I kind of like when we get a warm day or two after it's been cold...it's nice...

echomonster I think you and your bff are practically the same age so I don't think that's much of a barrier. However, it's true that your relationship with him will definitely change...it's tough to turn a love relationship back into just a friendship. Some say it's...

SO MANY ADS?

Primedrive @primedrive (71) • Blacktown, Australia 2 Jan 14

Is it just me or are you all seeing more and more ads on the site? I can't even find how to close them so that I can respond to member posts. Can you suggest how to close ads that do not have a cross or exit point?

1 response

echomonster I'm also noticing more ads. It feels like every message is surrounded by them! Of course, it's myLot's right to monetize their site as they see fit, but I wonder if "less is not more" when it comes to excessive advertising. However, I haven't noticed popup...

echomonster I think the old myLot site was a classic! I know many didn't consider it "modern" but I too liked it better. Maybe the old site could be open-sourced (or even licensed) so others could create their own old myLot-type sites. Probably won't happen...

Media: Is it positive or negative influence on youths?

Gertrude Okore @gertie88 (1) • Eldoret, Kenya 29 Sep 13

Why are we so quick to judge the media? Why are there issues like media gag or censorship? Do we really have to impose on the media such stringent regulations pertaining to their publishing? The media can show us anything,but...

media gag

1 response

echomonster I agree with you. There's always going to be something that is printed or broadcast that someone finds objectionable -- the media can't please everyone. So, if you want to protect your kids (or yourself) from something in the media that you don't approve of,...

echomonster In a nutshell, it's a place where you can make friends and have interesting discussions. myLot's changed a lot over the years, but it's always been a site where you can share your thoughts on most any topic!

echomonster I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself which is what is making you nervous. When you meet a new girl, don't think of her as a potential love interest; just think of her as a person. If there will be a connection between the two of you, it will...

echomonster I can commiserate with you because I found out about the change too late to get one last payment from the site. Now myLot is just another forum/social site...it's still fun though!
