Has any else noticed that alot of us myloters have the same group of friends. With over 96,000 members here, I see the same people over and over. I am not complaining, I think its great. We have a group of people who have clicked with each other, alot of us seem to be responding to many of the same discussions. I would love if we could get together and have a mylot reunion and get to know each other in person. I have exchanged personel email address with several people here. I have talked with one lady on the phone many times. We even exchanged flower seeds with each other. I am so happy I have found you all here on Mylot, take care everyone and happy posting.

How long have you been making this observation?
Perhaps there is still group of users who have been regularly active and you happen to keep noticing them for whatever reason.
In a way, this is good since at least you know there are people who are regularly active.
But if you do not see any others, it means that only a handful of users is active.. which doesn't spell that great. :P

I have noticed that for a long time. I see you and a whole bunch of others that are on my friends list, lots of them seem to be on each others list. A large group of us have the same friends. I am not complaining, I am just making an observance. I do see others that I haven't seen before when I explore other areas here in mylot. I spend most of my time in discussions my friends started.

I noticed that too and thought it was pretty cool = )
You are one of my (very few active) referrals and a friend too... now, when someone uses your referral link they are automatically added to your friend list. I think I requested you though ; )
I'm so happy you joined, especially under me! If I haven't said it yet, THANKS!

I didn't know I was one of your referrals. I joined with a link from yahoo answers. I don't remember the name on the referral. Its nice to know who I was referred by. BTW your welcome. I have 8 referrals and they don't do anything. I tried the yahoo answer thing and got warned and almost kicked off yahoo. I don't do that anymore, hehe.

It does seem like we all have the same friends but there is certainly nothing wrong with that. It is great being able to make friends all around the world on here and hearing everyone's views about all the different topics brought up. It certainly would be nice to have a reunion of some kind and be able to meet people in person. I think it would be hard though because of people living in various countries for everyone to meet.

I see you just about everywhere I go. That just goes to show you, we like the same people. I know it would be hard to meet our mylot friends, it sure would be nice though. You joined mylot back around the same time I did. Its hard to believe we have been here this long already, it doesn't seem that long. Time flies when you are having fun, haha.

Well people with similar interests will gravitate together...for example, I'll bet most of your friends love Maxine..I know I do, she is a personal hero....so I had to be your friend.

Sure.
I mentioned it awhile back after I noticed that most of those who are important to me here are all members of the same circle of friends.
When I noticed that I felt very proud because I don't ever recall being accepted for who I am by so many. (especially inside a community) When I've posted in other community's normally it takes ages to even get people with higher posts to acknowledge I was even there.
Actually I've quit many people I was treated as an outside or that my views didn't count because to be accepted you need two things 1 a "gimmick" and 2 a post count over 5000. (least this is what I've noticed)
Mylots the first community where I have posted over my record which was just over 3000 posts.
I don't see post counts as being important if I like someone I try to get to know them and this is one thing I really like about mylot. The fact people care and not pay attention to small and tiny detail such as above.
Sorry about my speech lol

Joey, Joey, Joey, what can I say. You are one of my favorite buddies. Does your wife ever get jealous of all your friends here. Some of us are girls, just tell her we are old enough to be your mamma, LOL. I remember when you first signed up with mylot. I hope mylot is around a long, long time. No need to say your sorry for the speech, I like to jabber on too. Anyway, mylot says they pay us more for longer responses, LOL.

Although thanks for the excuse! I'll remember to use that one for sure. hehe
Oh wow.. I can't even recall joining I just remember adding my interests like an alien just want to know what we did here on earth. (honestly though I can't)
Yup, 9 months huh? you must of been around when mylot was fairly new or least I got told that mylot was formed not so long ago.
~Joey

I've noticed that too Polly1! I think it's great too. I think that's great that so many of us are somewhat on the same wavelength. That's great that you got to talk to somebody in person and strike up a friendship! (The flower seeds are a definite bonus, lol!!) Hope you're havin' a happy summer; keep posting my friend, it's always nice to see you starting a discussion!

I am Happy I have found you as a friend, I have never mind friends over the internet untill now. I think it is fun Meeting people all over the world, and it is a coincidence that you are close to my town. 2 hrs, away One day we will meet, we talk on the phone, chat on Mylot, we even started around the same time. You started when I did, I remember you were telling me you could not sleep much at night you remember that? and how about the Laptop? I would love to buy one one day. everytime I go outside, those moon flowers remind me of you. they have grown so big. I put miracle grow on them, and you should see how they have grow, so big and pretty, and How about those Marigolds? I know they are doing good. Do you know I gave some of those seeds to My Sister, actually, I started the plants and then gave them to her, and the lady down the street, My Landlord. I have even took some seeds from the ones that blum, I notice when they blum they die right away, but there are plenty more of them that blum. Ok, Vicky I am going to bed for real now! Good night.

I am really happy I met you here too. Have you smelled the moon flowers yet, they do smell so good. I have some growing on the side of the house. I have some of the marigolds growing by the garden, the marigolds help keep the critters away from the veg's. Have you noticed we have alot of the same friends. There are some of us old timers, haha, still left. Its hard to believe we are all still here. Its a good thing we don't just come for the money, haha. Even though that is what attracted us first. Then you get to know people and like to visit and talk with them. Good night Marcie, have a good one.

Yes Vicky I think I answered this before, but you are right we do see the same people commenting, I think it is great too, but when you don't see them for a long time youget to missing your friends, don't you agree? Like the guy who name himself after his dog, you knowwho I am talking about, we both use to tease him. tell his name, I forgot it is right on the tip of my tongue.

Hey Marcie, how have you been? Our buddies name is Chunkers. I do miss him, he was cute too. Its too bad he didn't live closer to me, I would have tried to talk with him outside of Mylot. hehe. Take care. I am going to the new MGM Grand casino in Deroit tomorrow. Wish me luck....

I have noticed that the same peopl seem to also always be on the same discussions all the time too. Some of the older ( I mean long timer) are not here as muchas they used to be. The hot topics and the recent topics are pretty much the same people.

Hello Polly, how are you? I sill remember you even we seldom meet at mylot. Since your discussion about mosaic picture and my discussion about old man and the casino we never meet one another hitherto.
So I’m very happy here to say a few words concerning about your topic of discussion. It’s normal to have a limited group of friends here at mylot to have more frequent contact and interaction. If the group were extremely big we won’t able to find time to server them at all.
How about your casino adventure? Wishing you good luck.

Yes, I have noticed that too. Seems that no matter where we are, we seem to attract friends with common interests like ours. The same is true of the group on gather. We are all connected to the same group of people.

I am so happy I found mylot, I have been able to meet some great people that I never would have been able to meet. I see the same people all the time, it is possible to get to know them too. You start caring for them, you become friends. Its just to bad that we all can't get together, I would love to meet some of you.

Yes, I have noticed that my friends tend to show up on the same discussions as I do! I think this is a good thing. It indicates to me that we are all searching for meaningful discussions and if I stick with my friends, I should lose money/points due to discussions being deleted onto which I had replied! It also represents to me that we are seeing the same wonderful qualities in the people whom we are befriending!

I have noticed that in my posting. That all of us have pretty much the same friends. I think that is a good thing. Who would have thought a year ago, that I would have friends from Australia or China or India or more from the United States? I love MyLot!

I think there's new people joining every day and new friends to always add to our lists. I always check to see discussions my friends started so maybe I'm not the only one? And that's why we seem to post to the same mylotter's posts? Depending on how much time we and our internet speed it could take an awful long time to get through them all and add something to someone new's discussion. Don't you agree?
