Ive been trying for so long to get to that heavenly mark where i can finally copy 'n' paste things into mylot discussions cos i know how much easier it will be to start discussions, help people by giving them links to websites or recipes or any other random thing they may need but it seems to be taking me SO long ! i guess i just need some encouragement... how long did it take u to reach the almighty 500th post ? lol and if you havent already why not respond to my discussions to get closer to your goal.. cos im sure u can relate to many of my widespread discussions ! =)

I'm on my way and wish you good luck,my friend. I hope it'll not take much time if one have time,because only time can make it happen and it depend on the speed of your internet connection,as here in Niamey where I'm from the network is too slow and right now I've test my speed with "my-speedtest dot com" and the result is 5.25 kbps, so in this situation how could one reach 500 post without time.

YOU ARE RIGHT MARIAN! Reaching even 500 posts here on mylot is a very tough job. I am here for past 2 months and have only reached around 160 posts. I wonder how people posts around 2000 times, 3000 times and so on. Many people here have posts more than 5000..... Anyways, this site is very intresting. Hope I rech around 500 posts too. I am sure I will reach there but it will take some time. You have nearly reached there. Congratulations and best of luck for the future...... happy mylotting!

Right now you have reached 481 posts. I am sure you can reach 500 within two to three days. The more we think it is hard to reach our target, the more it is to reach it. The more we believe it is easy to reach our goals, it is more easy and sometimes easier than we think. I am sure that you will reach 5000 posts one day more sooner than you expect.

I agree, it is amazing how quickly 500 turns in to 1,000 and then the numbers just grow out of hand lol blessed be

Hang in there. You're about to cross that golden bridge. Just keep using your imagination. Let your mind wander then post and respond away. LOL There's no real amount of time that it takes to reach 500. It just depends on a persons habits on myLot. You may reach 500 twice as fast as others. While others may reach 500 twice as fast as you. My advice is just enjoy. Go for it my fellow myLotian. LOL ‹(°¿°)›

You are almost there Marian. It is great when you get to that 500 mark and not only for the copy and paste ability, but that is a great benefit. We know you will be there soon! Good luck to you!

I don't remember how long it took me to get to 500, but you know what? I have never used the copy and paste feature. I know how to use it, but I just never have. Kind of odd now that I think of it. You're really close, so good luck and keep on keepin' on! : )

I know what you mean! I joined around 2 years ago and stopped because I saw another "easier" way to make money but soon found out that it wasn't working either so now I'm back! I still have my earnings here (am just 2 dollars away from payout! Talk about me slacking off. haha!) and I'm determined to at least EARN NOW! haha! And also to reach the 500 mark. Well good luck to the both of us!!

Hmmmm... Maybe it'll cheer you up when you see just how far SOME people still have to go....... :( But it certainly looks like you're almost there! By the way, have you made the $10 payout yet? I wonder how long that takes...

I know what you mean about the cut & paste. when I first started in mylot I was able to drag & drop out of word docs. I prefered to write my discussions in word to spell check & gramma check them. One day I must have missed the memo about not being able to cut & paste anymore. I stopped coming in for a while. But now I am back and will attempt for that magic 500 again. Now I am one point closer. Thanks. :D

I think it took me a month but I wasn't active 2 weeks in that month. It is such a hard job to reach 500 posts but Trust me later it doesn't get any easier. I thought the same you think now and couldn't wait to reach 500 to be able to copy and past but now I just don't copy and past. I don't wanna find content on other sites and just copy them here, or start a discussion with some copied article because I don't think myLot is about that so, 400 or 500 or 600 it's all the same for me. Just enjoy the time you spend here and the number of your posts will grow.

I have only been a member for about 3 weeks and am almost up to 100 posts. I think it will be at least 2-3 more months before I reach the 500 mark, but I will keep posting, so it will happen inevitably sometime sooner or later lol ... Best wishes to everyone. :)
