Is this really happening? I've been seeing a lot of mylottians waving goodbye and leaving mylot. Do you think mylot is not that good now? I hate to think that it will happen to me in the near days leaving mylot too, hoping not but i think im pretty sure i will not as i really love this site. This is the only site that make me useful as it helps me to think and express myself and what i feel. What about you? what do you think and feel about this?

To be honest i think its silly that alot of people are leaving becuase their rep has gone down. I mean it happens and is it really that important that a star says a different number?
I only just got here so I aint going anywhere soon

i think because they are really dissapointed but come to think of that i think your right. when i was new here, theres is no star rating. Its just a new preference that mylot has given so i agree i can manage too without that stars as long as they still give rewards on our posting. what do you think?

i have been a mylot member for 9 months now. and there had been lots of new forums starting but i never left mylot. i love it here. it's different here compared to others. i can't leave my friends here. they had been true and real even if i haven't met them for real.
i think most are leaving not because they hate myLot but because they had conflicts with some of the members around. and that they find myLot as a small world for them to argue and fight. it's their choice to leave. but they can always come back.
i hate seeing friends leave myLot. they had been a great part of my growth in here. i hope that one day, i will see them again here.

i once found myself a bit brain drained for being here in 9 months and so i took a two week break from mylot. however, i admit, i could not get off my thinking from myLot. and so, i sign in everyday here to check if there are pending messages for me to reply to or some friend requests for me to approve. for sure, i miss myLot within those 2 weeks i went out for awhile. and i am glad i am back.

It seems to be happening and I have considered leaving in the past for other stupid things that happen here. The star which is stupid in its application and the deletions without explanation are two current problems. Lack of communication has aggrevated me and the anonymous moderators are also something I abhor. I am paid and the aggrevations are something to observe and see how things progress. Time is on our side and patience is indeed a virture. If I finally make more money elsewhere this site will be set on a back burner unless it improves to the functioning which it is capable of. I wish them luck and us too while we endure.

yes to tell you willowlady, i have been out for sometime here just February and March. I was like on and off not because i was dissapointed with the continously down of ratings and post but i was just really drain. Sometimes when i crossed some discussion about dropping im not that really affected because i was really enjoying and having fun here and it doesnt happen to me what had happen to some of here. BUt today it happen to me and i can now relate to what they really feel and it really dissapointing but like you said patience is a virtue so i think i will still have my patience to stay here. i wish you the luck too and all of us.

I don't see myself leaving mylot soon. I would be less active though because I'm gonna start working. But I really like this site. I don't really have much problems with it unlike others. I don't really expect to get paid a lot and I don't really pay attention to my points. I'm just enjoying it here, I guess because I'm not working so hard like others.

you have the point, of course we shouldnt expect this site will pay high because they just give only rewards as an appreciation for what we contribute and its a good thing, right? because what most important is what we have learn here except to those who just really here to earn and thats a fact too and of course we also respect their own reasons and everybody has own diffrent reasons in joining here so what can i only say is goodluck to all of us..Cheers!

Something bad is happening. All our stars are dropping, earnings seem to have slowed a bit (for me at least) the discussions are the same over and over and over, i've even heard of people being mean to each other and people being banned. So something is going on, and it might be encouraging people to leave.

yes!! Even I am a kind of shocked!!! every one is leaving!!
I guess they are taking it as a summer job(hoilday partime work) or what!!
And one more reason, mylot is really slow in earning!! And thats a truth. But I also belive that with out working hard you cannot earn money that easily.You cannot run from hard work.So for me I am satisfied with mylot just looking forward to become little fast in my earning by giving mylot little more time of mine!!
And I LOVE this site too!!Its pretty much ensuring one! Who can make sure that YOU ARE earning!!
Have fun.

mylot is just only good for making extra earnings, yeah your right maybe some just take mylot as part time work and like you i also believe that money is not earned that easily. we must work really hard for it. Since mylot is a free site to joined so we must not expect too much of it that they will pay us high and earnings will be fast. We'll just hope they will give good rewards and if that happens then we should be thankful.

So far some of my friends has left and saying goodbye. I made some good friends here on mylot and feel that I got to know them and they have some issue with mylots rating or points going down and I don't pay much attention to the ratings or the points just as long my earnings are ok. The way things are going I don't know what will happen. I know I had some rude people here and I just ignore them. Have a good day.

yeah stars are not that important, what most important is the things that we have learned here and the relationship that we have already made here in mylot and that are friends and people that became part of our everyday life here and it really sad to know when some of them decide to leave.

During my early stages of myLot, i used to enjoy sharing my thoughts and views but now a days, just for name sake and to earn few cents i make a point to log in and reply to discussions. The other thing is that i am very busy now a days in my work and dont find time to spend here in myLot. Hope that i get some spare time and share my views.
@cheenlly (3476)

Thats a fact too, we have really our priorities like work real. Mylot is just only an extra earning so it should not be taken so seriously in making earnings here and day by day there is really changes that happens and that is expected. Reasons are change time by time. Depends on our situation in life.

Yes and i also feel that myLot pays less for our input. I spend lots of time over here and give quality responses but at times i am not convinced with my payment. These things just makes people to quit. Anyway, i hope that myLot continues.

I've seen this happening more so than ever in the last month. It makes me feel sad that so many people are leaving, but honestly, I understand why.
They've worked so hard to get their reputation, and their number of posts up, and to have that taken away from them with no warning or explanation is frustrating to say the least.
I don't see myself personally leaving Mylot any time soon. My posting has dropped off quite a bit lately, but I'm still making payout every month, and I don't appear to have had any of my discussions deleted so far *Crosses Fingers*
I always find myself hoping that some of the members won't leave, but there is only so much that a person can take. One member's reputation and discussion rating has been totally dismantled, and understandably, she's furious about that. She is leaving Mylot. It's sad to see.

after saying that,this give me the idea that maybe mylot is trying to lessen its member hehehe dont you think? because now its getting near to 100 000 members. When i first join here it was only on the 40000 members but now its really fast growing.

As a matter of fact I seldom come here anymore, and generally when I do it is only to catch up with a couple of friends and also to support some members who I referred here. I am only responding to this particular discussion, as it caught my eye. I was here a lot, then went to another forum which started okay and paid me too, but the the spammers and cheats hit it, which ended it effectively. I still used to come to myLot through all of this other forum stuff.
Then for some reason myLot started reducing ratings, not the star rating but rating points. The star rating is not worth a lot in my opinion, as it can be manipulated either one way or the other. A lot of members lost rating points and it might have been that they were deleting discussions but I never respond with only a few words or to inane topics either. I actually lost over 100 points at various times in the past month or so and that was only after I started to take note of my rating each time I logged off. So, if we get a rating/post reduction then the earnings follow as well. So for me to put in several hours here, only to get nothing for it, I find unacceptable. I mean one day I put in a huge effort and the next time I came back I had less points than when I started the previous lot of posts.
The fact that myLot does not respond to messages about what is happening and nor do they let members know through an alert is totally unprofessional as well. The moderators here are anonymous, nobody knows who they are. People can report someone for no reason or more to the point a person who is reported does not know why this happened.
Anyone can rate another member negative, without having to give an explanation for it. That is so wrong in my opinion. By all means allow members to rate a discussion or response as a negative, but the person making the report should have to explain their reasons for doing so.
The system here is very slow and it can take a while for a page to load or a response to go through. If there is a problem with the server, then it is time that myLot did something about it.
For now that is enough for me, but as I said I will come back from time to time to support my referrals and try to make responses to friends discussions and that is it. Other than that I will spend my time on a site which is good to the members, open and above board with active monitors and admin plus all members know who these people are. That is how a well run forum should be as far as I am concerned.
Good discussion and thanks for allowing me to air my views on this very topic and the reasons why I do not spend the time here on myLot.

I understand you and im glad you still stay even you have that sentiments. It's ok even if not always as long as we still see you once. That would mean you still considering the good things that you have been received or learned here. I also hope that whatever or any of your sentiments will be taken action by mylot. Goodluck my friend and to all of us.

This was my second time to answer same discussion about leaving mylot. Yes, most of the mylotters have got fed up because of the small earnings they received here.
As for me, I don't know if im gonna stay here. But so far, i enjoy reading and responding to other discussions.

I dont really understand why should they be fed up when they have small earnings when in fact at the very beginning before signing up. It was stated here that they just giving only rewards but they didnt said they will pay high. its not a job but just an extra earning. So it is expected that they will just receive only what they have deserve. If you work hard, im sure they will give good rewards but that doesnt mean expect too much of it.

Well...mylot is still one of the sites where you can express and share whatever you want. Though some members leave, still have many members who stay. I can't see any signs of not continuing to be here, mylot is still good to express my thoughts :)

I'm not planning on leaving. I've seen quite a few people saying they are leaving but I really don't see why. Yeah, there can be rude people on here and yeah mylot makes mistakes at times. But it's the internet and you just have to roll with the punches. The way I see it is I'm still enjoying myself on here and making friends and MyLot is still paying me so why leave. I'm just going to ignore the negative stuff.

Maybe in my own thought they are leaving because maybe they have high expectation on the site so when the site didnt meet their expectation they'll get dissapointed but of course thats only my thoughts but of course everybody is entitled on their own reasons. Whatever it is, its their right and all i can say is goodluck to them. For me i'll stay and do my best and just ignore negative stuff.

Everyone has it's own reason why they leave my lot. I hope they find what they are looking for. There are good and bad thing about mylot and I still have many good thing in here so I don't feel like leaving yet. But there will come a time that the good thing you see is not there anymore so you find it's better to leave and do something else. I hope that time will come in a very long time. Happy posting mylotters.
