I have not really gone from myLot. I have not even taken a break from here. But there have been times when my motivation to make posts have been low.
However, I have just seen my discussion about perfumes went to the "hot discussions" list and I feel excited about. I am feeling that my motivation is back and I will be posting a lot again.
How Does being in the "today's top" and "hot" lists helped you? Do you think it made you popular and made you more of an authority in starting discussions?

Hello my friend. Something like that would definitely be motivating. I don't remember having one though. But seeing my friends respond to my discussions is of equal value. I've also had times when I felt so lazy or tired to posts. I've had a long break and I'm back for now.

Sometimes you need a break away from it, even if a break is just responding and not posting your own discussions for a while. I don't actually always look at top discussions or hot discussions, but I do look at the number of responses I've received and that makes me feel good.

It always makes me feel good when I receive responses more than 20. But I would be happy with 5 responses if I know the discussions are not really attractive and interesting. It means my friend still had the time to respond even if the discussion is not that interesting.
Have a nice day!

Hi Richiem, Definitely Yes, i get excited if being in the today's top or hot list section. Because that is similar like an appreciation towards the hardwork to contribute that. So far i not yet get into the top list, but i believe the day will come. So now i have to work more hard to achieve that too. Glad that you feel that you are back again. Happy MyLoting...

Hello, Richiem!
It's good to know that you feel motivated to keep posting here. The more you post, the more money you will earn. Therefore, the more motivated you are, richier you get. Actually, I can't use myLot for a long time. Except right now. I decided to keep using it until I reach a certain goal, which might take a few hours of my day.
I have never been in the Today's Top nor in the Hot list. I can't say it has helped at all, but I don't mind. I am not the kind of user who likes to create discussions. I'm more like responding to the created ones.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I dont even know how the day is going to go. Some days I feel like posting other times I am not interested in it. I guess that there are always some good posts to make and other times there are not. I have never been on the hot list or the top list although I have had some good discussions with several responses. I'm glad your back richiem.

hi richiem it does make you feel good to be in the hot list and the top list but as for popular I really dont care that much one way or the other except it restored a bit of confidence in myself
that had been lacking. I just have spells when I have something to say, and spells when I dont, and would rather just respond to others discussions.

I like starting discussions because for me it is more profitable. I think it gives me more money especially when I receive a lot of responses.
What I don't like about responding to discussions is that they get deleted. I am very careful now.
Have a nice day!

I've never checked the hot list so I do not know if I have ever been there but I do enjoy it when I am in 'top discussions'
I will be more mindful of it now that you've told me, think I first spotted it yesterday or something like that

Well,same here...I feel like I'm gone from mylot despite the fact that I 'm always here coz I really was not able to make any posts nor respond to any discussions.I will just read several discussions here then leave.It feels great when your discussion is one of "todays top",I also had one discussion that was on top few months ago and I was overwhelmed.You've done a great work,keep it up! I must say you deserve it!

I am happy that you feel motivated again. What made feel that way?
I do not post and worry if I get to the hot topics or not. I just post because I like to. I am sure it feel quite rewarding, like receiving an Oscar for acting, even though I would act because I love it, not to win awards.

Hi ,My friend, there existed the same situations for me as well over the past two weeks. I feel so sorry for my friend and now return back to post the information to them. I feel that I should be serious for my friends based on the posting.

I too have my ups and downs when it comes to mylot motivation richiem. There are days when I search and search and just can;t seem to get inspired; yet there are also days when I can't seem to get enough of it all! I am sure that we all go through highs and lows, it's just human nature. Being in the "today's top" and "hot" lists is a nice thing to see too, sure; but I never seem to stay there for long! lol. Those lists change like the weather I think.
What DOES motivate me though is being chosen as the highest rated discussion for a particular day. I have had this happen a number of times now and was fortunate to have made this status the last two days in a row as well! This definitely gets me more motivated. I don't feel it makes me an authority on anything though; just motivated!

Hi there richiem ! I am glad to share with you this good news as responding to your discussions is always a pleasure. I have only been a few times in the "today's top" and i never staid there fore more than a few hours so i can't really say that this affected me in any way... Oh, wait - i did got more friendship request when i was in the today top.

I think that is also one of the effects of being in the "today's top".
The "today's top" discussions page are updated every hour I think.
But the "hot" discussions page is different. You can stay there as long as you have lots of responses and comments and as long as your discussion is less than a day old.
Have a nice day!

Hey I have responded on that one! Congratulations on your topic making it on today's top.
I have some topics too that have made to tops and I felt extremely happy! It is an achievement for me but I don't see myself as an authority in starting discussions. I just feel lucky that I have made a very interesting discussion.
There may be times that we don't feel like posting. It is normal and it happens to everyone. It happens to me but I don't force myself to start a topic. I really have to be in the mood to be able to create a good discussion.
Good thing that you have the momentum now. Just keep going!

Hey richiem! First of all I want to congratulate you for your discussion in the top discussion. That was really amazing LOL. And I want to welcome you back, I mean, I welcome your motivation back. :)
I know that having some of our discussion ended up with only a little responses or maybe no responses at all was really devastating and that was actually what made me stop making discussion unless I really wanted it. And actually I was in the plan of being out for some break as well, but I don't think I could make a day without logging in, so... Here I am.
The top discussion and the hot list was really helping. It wasn't only would make me happy but motivate me to make the same or even better achievement by making the other discussion in the list again. LOL.
