I have noticed that whenever I browse the discussion topic, there's always a topic stating that they are back or have returned here in mylot (after a leave of absence). Well I'm not excuse from this since I've been in and out of mylot for quite some time now. But my curiosity always bring me back here. Anyway this discussion is not about this but more of those users who had stayed here in mylot (user who had been continuously active in this site). I want to know what had kept you stay here in mylot. Did you not get bored? Have you not run out of topics to discussed and/or response to? In short what makes you active here in mylot.

Well, to tell you honestly, I dont quite know. And another truth is that there are times when I got tired of the site. Especially when Im loggin for hours on end. I got a bit bored because there are no more discussions that I felt like I wanted to respond to. Added to this is that the discussions that I see are discussions that Ive already responded to and I dont want to repeat myself all over again. An exception to this is when newbies are asking for a little help and guidance then I dont mind at all. HHmm, maybe im here partly for the money too but more of the curiosity like you said. Maybe there was a discussion that would interest me and I wanna be in on it. I also come here everyday because it has become my habit. It also happens that I love the site no matter what and Ill keep coming back here just hanging out. I also like to share my opinions and stuff and at the end of the day we get paid for it. In conclusion, I stay here mainly for the friends and the discussions and the earnings has just become a pleasant bonus.^_^

Im here really for the money. I also love posting on forums but I doubt if we didnt make money I would post here since I wouldnt have foumd out about this forum and I have several other forums where I post at. Plus this forum can be addicting if you try to make goals for yourself like make more money throughout the week and then beat it next week or beat your number of post for a day. Thats why I post a lot on here.

Yeah, I already love the site but arcidy has a point about the incentive. The earnigns is what led me here in the first place but in keeping it real, I really dont think Id have the time and patience to come here everyday if I didnt like the site even if there was a bit of money involved. I come to Yahoo Answers too every now and then just checking out the questions and see if I can help a user a bit. With Yahoo Answers some questions need research and proof but with myLot anything goes. Gives my writing hobbies and outlet that it can be useful. So as what Ive always said, I came here for the money stayed for the friends and the discussions. Thanks for all your comments. I welcome all of them.^_^

I guess the ability or the freedom to speak up what's in your mind and sometimes what's in your heart. It's those times that you'll be able to voice out what you want to say ever since and what you think of other's ideas too. I like that kind of interaction and mylot gave that to their members. It's fun being here. If I run out of topics to post, that's no problem because I surf other's discussions and respond to them.

You have said it right, MGjhaud. The freedom to speak what you have inside to every discussion and topic is what mylot had given to it's user. I really do think that you have enjoyed your stay here in mylot. Thanks a lot for your reply.

I just really like being able to talk about things and it gives me a boost when i'm feeling down. There is always someone on here that is suffering more than me. Although our own problems always seem worse. Alot of people when they say they have been away mean they have been on holiday, working away or even ill that they have no access to a pc. Most people when they are away really miss the discussions. I think it's the best site on the internet apart from bigfish where i can play games and chat too.

Thanks for your reply, aquajules4. Mylot have given us freedom to speak what we wanted to share, particularly the problems we are getting through. And we could get inspiration and strength from the responses we get from our friends.

I am on here every day, I think I have been a member around the four month mark and there has not been one day that I have not been on here yet. I do not know what it is about here but I just enjoy it, I love responding to discussions and then sometimes I will have something I want to ask and so I put it up. I have not yet become bored although I do get days when my brain does not work as well as I would like and so I find it slow going but I like it.

frankly i needed a way to bring in more income to my home and i will do whatever i can to do that. i cannot work outside the home because i am the bookkeeper for my husband's business which i do not get a paycheck for and i need to be here before and after school and during the summer months for my son and on days off or sick days from school. we cannot afford child care so it is more cost effective for me to be here doing all the things i do. in my opinion every bit helps so that is why i came back.

With the high cost of living nowadays, we all need to get some extra income. In your case you have found it here in mylot and probably other paying sites. Have a nice day, mikeysmom!

It is the money that keeping me here at mylot. It is the place where you get paid on how hard you work. It's like no work no pay. Everyday, I challenged myself to get better post to meet the monthly payout. I don't think you'll run out of words to say here. There are a lot of topic for your participate in and it is also easier to find them. You learn something new everyday by just reading what people has said. If you are curious about something, you can post it as a discussions and you learn. Learning something is important because you feel that you are not just wasting your time here and that keep me also here at mylot. Friendship is also important here, so you learn to make friends.

Hello, Tholitz. I have also been away from myLot for a few months, almost a year. I just had lost the interest and the time to keep here. However, I came back for the Internet Business and I found out that myLot was still a lot of fun and earning at the same time. You don't see any paid forums there, which makes myLot special. Here, you can chat, share ideas, ask for help... In general, here you can talk and earn money for this. Who doesn't like to talk? Haha! And I know that many have been away from myLot, but those who go and come back are the ones that end up putting more effort, since they already know how does the system work. I'm trying to reach 2.000 posts. I'm not hurrying, I'm not anxious... I just have set this goal while I am here in myLot, so I won't leave before I do it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I like mylot very much. This is a community where members can exchange ideas, ask for advice, give advice to mylotters who need advice, learn new things, about people, about countries, different cultures, and so on. It is endless. I take it as an excellent opportunity for all members. So, that keeps me in mylot !

Good Day greenline! Thanks for your reply. You're right in saying that mylot had given us excellent opportunity to interact with different people of different nation. This gave us some sort of chance to know a lot of things about them even their personal feelings.

I have been posting every day since I joined in February. I have never been bored or run out of topics to respond to. I have a long list of interests and many friends in my profile lists so I can always find good discussions. I like to help new members too and they always have questions about using myLot. I think what keeps me here is the range of topics and the number of members who keep joining and adding more interesting discussions. I don't think I will ever run out of topics and if I do I will just start some new ones.
