I noticed that many of mylot members are now leaving mylot. The question is why? Are they looking or joining other sites that pays more? Though the number of members are increasing but the activity here is depreciating. Is it just my opinion? Are there anyone out there feeling the same thing?
Let's talk it over here. I'm just worried of the thought that mylot may someday close...so sad.

I think no mylot will never close.
Because we are here to make it popular
and i also feel the same and reason is also same,
As it is paying not even 1 cent for 1 posts
because of that it might happened
other sites pays lot more than this
So it might be the great and solid reason for decreasing mylotters
So i think if the admin will increase the rate might be this wikll again the same as it was old mylot!!

I don't see myLot closing anytime in the near future. There's still a lot of members posting quality discussions. One just has to spend time finding them or have the right friends. It seems many of the members have gotten frustrated with the drop in pay here is why they have left. Others have left due to harrassement etc. I can't see myself leaving anytime soon though. I have made many friends here and I still get a decent amount of discussions to respond to daily. Granted I'm not making what I made months ago. But it's still a way forum to me.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It's summer many are getting ready to go back to school or have their children going back, so that is part of it. The notify system is down, so if you are depending on finding your friends or friends finding you that way, that could the reason the you have not seen your friends. I have not lost any freinds in a while and all of mine are here, so no I have not had this problem.
If mylot closes, it will not be anytime soon, with each member that takes a break there are 5 new ones it seems taking their place. So I am not worrying about that. Also if I could only have a dime for each person that leaves then returns here, I wouldn't have to worry about money, that is for sure. LOL

Hello sunshinecup!(",)
Oh, thanks for that explanation. With so many mylotters here, the admin now finds it difficult to pay each of us more. It's now understandable why many look for other sites that pays more.
It could be that most of my friends are on vacation now or are not active anymore here in mylot.(",)
Great day!(",)

All I can say is, most of the good posters here got bored. Lots of them are on the other site I am also at, I joined there to keep in touch with them and enjoy what we think are not allowed here. so far, the other site was great and we have our own club there.
The problem most of us see here aside from the less earnings are, the activity, the admin's less participation and the unresolved posting of "abusive" tags. Also, the deletions of discussions that are unexplained. I know the guidelines, but some seemed to be just unfair because most of us know what the guidelines are and that we always follow them.

Raijin!(",) Nice to see you!(",)
What you just said is indeed very true. Hope the admin will do something about it. I think you are part of yuwie now and other sites as well. Thanks for dropping by.
Hope you'll keep in touch. Great day and God bless!(",)

I am one of those members that has been wandering to other sites. I go looking for fresh topics. I get bored easily especially when I see the same topics over and over. I have been connecting with other mylotters in other forums. I still come back here to check on things, to see if anything new has been posted. But I don't live on this site like I used to.

I have a couple sites where there are also other mylotters at.
But this is my first forum that I use.
I am not going anywhere any time soon either.

Hello royal52gens!(",)
Thank you for visiting the site once again. I'm not a member of other sites because I don't have much time in the computer like I used to have before. It's true that discussions/topics here have become boring you and quality ones are hard to find.
Hope that you will still visit mylot once in awhile. I'll see you around!(",)
God bless!

I think they might have been caught up with real life and some of them are not happy about the earnings around here. They thought it's not justified with the quantity of time put in here. Some of them might join other better paid sites. I lost interest in mylot for awhile but then I got back on and find myself enjoying again. I think everyone of us needs a break sometimes, and I just hope that the break for them won't be too long.

Hello wondericequeen!
Many are not satisfied here anymore. We cannot blame them, especially those who are here to earn more. They might feel it's not worth it anymore...very sad to know.
Hope others will come back sooner than expected.
Thank you for sharing your views.(",)

Just like any other things, there is a lifecycle built in the interest of mylot. The first day we found mylot and felt happy to get such a good site, and kept on posting and were very active for the first few days as it was a new thing which can give us more interesting feeling, and of course, the earning changed every days was also a fact to drive us post,post and post.
But when time went by, we found that we can't get some new things here and the earning just inched forward. Few money at the cost of too much time!!! I am happy that you are back.

Hello staywithpin!(",)
I guess, many can relate to your response because we felt it before. There was a time when I took a break from mylotting because I'm tired of it but when I was revived, I'm back! And I'm so happy that I did return and meet new friends here! You are one of them.
Thank you so much for being so generous in participating in my discussion.(",)
God bless!

i too have notice that mylot is not the same. i think that is much due to a few things. one is because you are not making such little money here at mylot. you can post until your eyes turn color and it seems you just can't make that money like you use to. also i think the Yuwie craze is taking over and everyone is over there now. i spend most of my time at Yuwie and i am loving every moment of it. I don't know if you have crossed over to yuwie, but if you want to make a go of it check out my profile and meet me there.

Hello 34momma!(",)
I have registered to Yuwie also but I'm not so familiar with the icons and all that's why I don't have any activity there yet. If I can't find you here then I'll go and visit you there.(",)
Hope you'll still keep in touch with mylot friends!(",)
God bless!

I have noticed a few posts about people leaving here as well. Some are very mad. I really dont understand why. I know there have been a few times where I have lost a cent when I check my earnings, and when I first joined I was earning a lot more, but I dont thing that is worth leaving for.

Hello happythoughts!(",)
I think, they are not satisfied with the earnings here that's why they look for other sites that pay more. I'm contended here that's why I'm keeping myself busy here in mylot. What keeps you here in mylot?
Great day!

Yes, I have also noticed the same thing. Perhaps, those leaving mylot are more interested in earning money, than other things.

This site is never the same as when I started postin here. Back then, topics are more interesting and there sre so many active people posting and responding to topics. Right now, the volume is dwindling. Topics are sometimes getting boring. And my friends here are nowhere to be found.
I myself is getting bored here. Maybe the time consumed just to psot a single reply is not worth of the rate the admin is giving. Well, there is nothing we can do on this since this is a free site. We never paid any membership fee here. Everything is voluntary here. I think we should know this.
But looking at the site nowadays, I am sometimes dismayed. This is not the same myLot I know of maybe 4 months ago, much more one year ago.

I don't think mylot will close because of the people who left. When somebody left mylot there are some people coming to discuss their opinion. Isn't it great to know that the people who are leaving mylot are the people who are after money or for some valid reasons. But don't worry who's left here are people with different things in their minds to discuss and maybe some left to fill their minds for mylot and come back here and discuss about it. Cheer up !!! Mylot will not close until there are things to discuss.

Well, I'm still here but haven't been around much for the last few months - summer in the US it's normal for internet usage to drop. Can't speak for the other countries but I know a good share of members are from the US.

many who are here expecting to "earn" most have left. the ones left overs here are the hardcore community-ers. depends on which one is you, join the club :)

I haven't left Mylot and I don't plan to. I have found a couple other sites that offer some different things but I will always be faithful to Mylot. I am not looking to make alot of money, but to find good quality friends and have fun. I find not being on here too often helps me focus on it better when I am here. I don't think Mylot will close, they are tons of newbies joining.

well what i believe is that earnings do matter but the quality of content is the most imp. thing.. well the layout of mylot is very sophisticated and confusing...what should be done is to redesign the site and it will not close that easily... we all are here to lift it up!!!
