I used to be really addicted to mylot until i reached my first payout, but now for my second one, i am not that attracted, as i believe that quality of many posts here has decayed to a lower level. This upsets me as i planed to stay here for a long term, but i am not sure if i will after my second payout, unless i find more interesting topics. Do you ever get bored here ?

Personally, I think we all have been bored in here a time or two. This site definately tends to go in spurts as far as activity goes. Also sometimes the people who used to be quite active in here are not as active either. All I can say, is people do have other lives besides being online and in myLot. When I find myself getting bored with this site, I go find other stuff to do like check Email, surf the Internet, play a game, and come back later and post a little. I am still having fun. Just wish people were not disappearing so quick sometimes.

Yes, i see what you mean. Some people have disappeared from my list of friends as well, people whose discussions i enjoyed reading but now all i can do is miss them as they have abandoned mylot. Thanks for sharing here and you are welcome to my discussions any time - i don't intend to disappear to soon. Take care !

Oh yes, I find that I get more and more bored all the time. When I get on the site I try hard to find discussions that I can reply to, but there are just none here most of the time anymore. Sometimes I will not even get onto mylot for days at a time. I used to be addicted to mylot, you could not keep me away from it, but it really is changing.

Yes, i agree that it's not the same like it was when we first joined, but hey, if we're still here i guess it still presents some interest for us. I guess you can only start looking into friend's started discussions when you don't find any interesting discussions and reply to those to help them as well. I am sure that some of your friends have discussions that you have not answered and have few responses, and i don't think all of them are impossible to answer - that's what i do when i don't have other options :)

Yes I do get bored on mylot some days. I just go do something else and come back later. Somtimes there is just no good posts on and then it gets really boring when their is nothing to reply to since I am a replier and not a discussion starter.

I see and understand your point of view. Doing something else for a change is a good solution. Thanks for taking your time to comment here friend. Take care and happy mylot-ing!

Hi Elitess, It is like anything in life, it has its ups and downs, just respond to posts of your interest and take a break if you need too, I do that for a couple of days now and then when the posts seem repetitive but most of my friends discussions do seem to have great topics and a sense of humour too tha makes it fun for me. Don't get disheartend. Search in discussions of your interests and maybe add a few too to your list and that should give you a boost of new discussions to get to grips with. Ellie :D

I think that everyone feels bored here every once in a while. Yes, more so because the quality of discussions diminish. I think partially that one person thinks their discussion is of great quality and yet the rest do not. Although I have seen a lot that are irrelevant, and some from users who are here to practice their English, and they do try, but sometimes it's more confusing. I try to help those who are still learning English because I would hope that If I were to learn a foreign language I would receive the same help. I think that you should just do what you can with discussions you find and experiment with what pays more. I'm not sure if Blogs or articles do, but that would definitely be something to look into. Anyway, Good Luck Here! I hope you don't decide to stop mylotting, Have a Great Day!

I guess you are right, all of us do get bored at time. I don't necessarily think that all my discussions are the best out there, it's just that i don't always find something interesting to answer. I guess it also depends on the mood i am in. I also try to understand all the English wrong speakers out there, and even i find myself confused trying to understand what they meant to say. As for leaving, i don't think i will stop mylot-ing until i don't get a full time job and that means i will be here until at least next autumn. Thanks my friend !

Yeah I know what you mean. I think as with everything when we got here first with all the enthusiasm that we had, we kinda got in myLot more than we really should and so during the course of time we would get tired of seeing, looking at, doing something that we were always doing for most of our first months here. There were also 'privileges' that we had to look forward to like having a star, posting photos, things like that. Maybe thats why after reaching the 500th post, there really isnt much to do on here. Just wishing, hoping and praying that someone would start a discussion that you'd get lost in. I plan to stay here also. I cant leave it but Im just not interested in anything anymore. Good thing there are friends and the monetary incentive is also there for motivation but other than that finding a good nugget of a discussion has recently become hard to find.

Oh, well! Goodluck in trying to reach this months' payout. Friends are definitely one good reason to stay and yeah aside from getting paid for doing something you've grown to love, it is also nice to know that, like you said, friends are helping each other in a way. Thanks for being one of mine.

I agree with the enthusiasm idea - and i think i will be more excited as i will reach closer to the next payout. Friends are a good thing to help mylotting as you always now that apart from you earning you also help them :)

I do have times when it's hard to find anything to do around here, but also times when I find many interesting discussions. It depends on my state of spirit too - I'm not always in the mood for mylotting.

Hi there Vasile. I know what you mean with not being always in the mood for mylotting - i guess that happens to me as well. Thanks for sharing on this topic and have a great weekend !

Yes, I have gotten bored here on more than one occasion. But I have always come back. With so many discussions on here it is hard to stay bored on mylot for very long, at least for me anyway.

No I do not get bored at my lot and some time I feel sick when I do not get some good discussion to reply and then I am irritated I use to disconnect and switch off the monitor and get rid of it for some time. Again I come here and find some or I start commenting on the responses I receive and also find some new topic to post a discussion. I am looking for some time that if my good and reliable discussions are not responded I will switch over to the casual one to get rid of it. At least I have plan to out from here.

Hi there - i see you get a little disappointed - to say the least here on mylot, but i guess we all are entitled to react somehow when we are not happy about the progress we are making here at mylot. Thanks for sharing your views on this matter and have a nice weekend !
