Lately I find I don't have as many friends on here like there used to be. People are leaving and not saying goodbye, what's up with that. Where is everyone going, is there a new site I'm not aware of? Is it that people are getting banned or are they just leaving. I don't see alot of quality discussions like there was when I joined a few months ago. Don't get me wrong I still have friends in here and they do quality discussions. It is just that I have lost a few friends and I was just wondering what is the problem?

Hello totty1969! You are not alone, I have experienced and observed the same thing. In fact last week I did a survey of my friends in my friends list. I found that many of them haven't logged in for more than two months now, some are away for more than a month and others haven't signed in for more than 2 weeks. I wonder if they have really left or are just gone for some time to come back again. I have less hope for the people who has not signed in for over 2 months, others may come back after a while. Lately there was also a surge in banning people here on mylot. I saw many discussions popping up to mention their friends or the people they know have been banned. Mylot has also probably decreased the pay per post, at least I have observed it in last four days. This may further lead to more people going out. I have also come to know about some other site. I don't know if people are joining there at the cost of mylot or just as an additional posting site. I just hope that things work out for people and I would love to see all my friends to discuss with them as I have been discussing. Best of luck:-)

What annoys me is that we can't actually know, if they have simply left or banned unless users or some close friend of their tell us themselves. Things haven't been much good over here lately but I hope it wil stay on:-)

Hi kamran12, That sound the same here. People are not logging in for weeks. Three of my friend did that, I think they got banned. And with the earnings messing up like it has lately, some are just leaving on their own. Peace, Totty

Totty, I was gone for 3 days, away from computer and cell phone and I love it.... I think that many people get involved in mylot gangs, playing unfair to others including myself. What they don't know is that I have really good life and I am not going to compete with anyone to gain an extra few cents or few dollars... By having said that, I am not much involved in mylot as I used to be...but I am here my friend...:)

Here are some of the problems that have influence many to leave. 1. Earnings being reduced to one half (or less) of one cent ($.0048) per post credited. 2. Discussions being deleted for no particular reason. 3. Rules being change without prior notice. (Jokes and recipes) 4. Mean spirited members being responsible for destroying other users reputation. (Giving negative ratings causing star number to go down) 5. Accumulated points disappearing over night without explanation. 6. Lack of integrity and fairness in the administration of the site. There are more but it is too depressing to go on.

Hi whiteheather39, I've been seeing those things too. That is depressing. The one that really hurts is the jokes and recipes, when I started it was ok for both and now it isn't ok. I wish they would make up their minds. Peace, Totty

A few weeks ago l had a 10 raiting and for some reason l dropped down to a 7. I have no idea why that happened. That kind of took the wind out of my sail so l seem to have lost interest in mylot. I haven't quit or anything, I just don't feel the same way as l once did about mylot.

Hello hardworkingmom4, Welcome to myLot, hope you enjoy your time spent in myLot. It is really fun in here and I'll try to assist you in any way I can. Lately we have had some glitches in the system, but they are working them out. You can earn points for uploading photos to discussions, when you reach 500 posts you can then add photos to your comments as well, and at 500 points you can also copy and paste, something I'm looking forward to, I'm getting close to that 500 mark. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me (privet message), goto my profile and on the left side, send message. I'll help with anything I can. So welcome to myLot and Happy Posting! Peace, Totty

Yeah, that is so sad indeed but I am not surprised at all. I mean mylot isn't paying that good anymore so people are running as fast as they can without looking back at all.

Hello Gabs, Yes now I see the way this place can get if you don't agree with some of these people. Here is the US we have the 1st Amendment, which is the freedom of speech. Something that in not feasible in myLot, in other words you gotta watch what you say in here. Some of my friends have been banned, I never had the chance of getting their email addresses though, I thought we would all be here forever. Boy was I wrong. I'm gonna start watching my P's and Q's in here for now on. I hope we don't loose any more friends in here! Peace, Totty

What's happening in Jimbo's? I thought it was going alright in there. MyLot is starting to remind me of the movie "Gangs of New York" too many groups attacking each other. When I first joined almost 4 months ago, I didn't see it. But the population is growing at a fast speed and they don't really care about friendship. If they don't watch out it will be just like MySpace.

I can't spend much time here last month and this month. next month I will be here longer I don't have much to do offline then. I noticed the same thing a few months ago but recently I think my friends are still here, at least most.

I agree with you; I notice a lot of people are not here for long periods of time or not at all. I figured they were just busy but I did see somewhere that there was a new site to write and earn money on so maybe they all went there! It is hard to be faithful to both sites. One only has so much time. Plus it looked like many people were getting disgruntled with other myLotter's as well. Some really good writers have not returned what a shame! Or maybe I just have not seen them lately?

I joined a couple of those other sites just like this one. But I prefer this one even though the other ones pay better.

I would have to say whiteheather has made alot of good points about why people might be leaving. I myself hope that its jsut the simple fact that its summer and alot of people will come back I havent booted anyone from my friends list but I think about 20-30% of them have left, or are taking a summer break if you are more positive spirit.

From what they tell me that is how it goes on the net. The same thing has happened to me. I think we are good friends every thing seems fine. Then nothing. They would still log on to the site but nothing. It is their loss, not yours or mine. I'll be your friend. :)
