After being banned on one of the community sites I joined, I wanna leave myLot as well, and leave the online world altogether. But then, being away from the computer longer than 5 hours make me miss being here since this is the only way I can connect to the outside world being stuck in the house with my 17 month old daughter. Don't get me wrong, I love being with my daughter. But for an outgoing and talkative person like me, I need something to channel out these 'behaviors'.
I love hanging around in mylot because we can talk about whatever pops in our heads and if you're lucky, get constructive opinion about what you're thinking.

ever since i have known about forums i have been inlove with it. mylot is the second website forum i have joined & in fact i ditched the 1st one already. the earnings is only a bonus for me and i do stay here in mylot because 1st i can get answers or opinions from what i have in mind or something that needs a solution & at the same time i can give solutions for other's concern, i can openly give my opinion & whatever that is in my mind. i have many things in my mind that i want to tell and forums is the only way i find it to be interesting & fun at the same time... mylot gave that opportunity to me. mylotters are so cool & friendly so what can i ask for more right? keep mylotting!

Yeah, I think we're the same. I love being here in mylot. Only at times I get frustrated for not being to express myself through writing. I also come here to ask questions, to ask other people's opinion about something since I don't have "friends" right now, everybody seems very busy right now.
The thought of leaving mylot makes me so sad. It's a great opportunity, like you said, to meet different kinds of people of different personalities that share the same interests.
I got banned on the other site but I fought for it. Fortunately, I'll be able to get it back. I also fell in love with that site since it's like myLot, and I've already gained some good friends there. Thanks, mapi ^^v

I see. So you're working full time. I also didn't have the time to join forums before when I was working. Right now, since I have to earn while looking after our daughter, I look for home-based jobs or any online gigs that may help me earn even small amounts.
Yeah, it's in Ciao.com that I got banned. Thank you for your kind words. I really like it there and would spend time in Ciao.com like here in mylot even though the promo period has stopped which made the review rate lower. If you wanna check out Ciao, please remember me and be my referral. ^^v

oh yes it's worth keeping with both the site & the people here. it's good to hear that you were able to manage to get your other account back. i usually stay with one forum site coz as of now i still can't manage 2 or more accounts... i think i have seen your other discussion with the one you're tellign about, it's ciao right? anyway i'm opening mylot here in the office & usually would browse it when i'm not busy & when i'm at home open it when i'm still not sleepy which is one reason why i can't handle more than 1 forum account. coz i spend quality time with my hubby during days off. i do hope i'll be able to manage it soon. i'm still checking out other mylotters feedback with reagrds to trusted sites. if i have time i'll try to check out ciao.

Absolutely you were right in this matter of thinking and being here in Mylot could relieve stress as well for we can open communication with other MyLotter through our discussions and your Daughter is almost at the same age with my daughter as well for she is 16 months for now and she will be waiting to be 17th months old for a few days as well....

It is not the money that keeps me coming back to Mylot day after day after day, it's contact with the outside world, believe it or not I am very shy, I am wary of strangers and I don't make friends easily, I am not sociable, I don't go to pubs, clubs, parties and I certainly don't mix with people, I am a loner, that is why Mylot is my way of being who I want to be, I feel comfortable, and I have lots and lots of wonderful friends who help, listen, support and befriend me which is wonderful! It gives me sooo much! and I am very fortunate in that people like me for who I am.

I am the exact same way. I am very shy and wary of people. I don't like to go out and be sociable and party. I enjoy being alone. And myLot is a good way to communicate with the outside world. I have interests and thoughts and opinions but I am not good at speaking and talking about them. I get tongue tied and nervous because I feel that people are watching me and judging me. It is SO much easier to speak my mind on myLot. :) I get to think about what I am writing and then proofread before hitting "Submit" to make SURE that I have said exactly what I wanted to say exactly how I wanted to say it. It is just much easier for me this way. I am glad to see that there are other people here who feel the same way that I do. :)

I also take comfort in the fact that there are other people here who feel the same way as I do! I can express myself, I find it far easier to do this in writing than speaking and you are not judged as much this way than you are when you are in social situations.

Yes, it is good to be around people who understand this! :) I have always been better able to express myself in writing than by speaking. And, I have also definitely NEVER felt judged here! Social situations are just awkward! (: Thank you for your reply and for understanding! :)

The money is nice. I like the people. I love the topics. There is a lot of variety here. I have made many friends here as well. I suppose it is the mix that keeps me here.

Yeah, that's what keeps me on coming back, royalgens. I also made new friends not only fellow countrymen, but from different countries and cultures as well. It's so nice to be heard and recognized as a person, people chatting with you, giving their opinion, sharing points of views and everything. This is the only site that I keep coming back to although I think it pays lower than other sites. Thanks, ^^v

Why am I here in myLot?
Because of myLotters like you, babyfuzz. I have gotten to enjoy a number of people here. At first, it was all about the money. Then the love of writing whatever. Then the people that I "met" that I share similarities with and even a few differences.
Did you ever find out why you were banned there?

Aw.. (/me blushes) Yeah, that's my first motive too as far as I can remember. I've read from a thread somewhere that it's fun here in myLot and she had posted a lot of discussions already, and she earns from it. Although I joined last year, I only became active this September 2008. ^^v
Yeah, I've found out already why I got banned in Ciao. Luckily it's only temporary suspension since they're reviewing my "reviews". It's funny though why I got banned, very ironic. I posted my boyfriend's poem on the "Love" section. They say it should be my own writing. Then I thought it's a review site. So I "reviewed" boyfriend's poem haha! It's considered plagiarism, they say. But it's all good now. I'll be getting back my account next week, hopefully. Thanks, SaintAnne. ^^v

Well, at least now you know why you got temporarily banned. Take care, Babyfuzz.

I'm hear to earn a little money to myself.
And I find it quite interesting and friendly here. So I don't mind if I can have a little good time during when I try to make little money .
Yea, it's quite cool to hang around here and to see what other people think about some topics.

Yes, you're absolutely right, sankata! You can not earn real quick here in myLot financially. But you can gain a lot emotionally, spiritually, and socially. I like talking with other people and sharing different views. It's really hard for me to say goodbye for such a lovely site even though I won't be getting paid this month, since I'm way too far from the minimum payout. ^^v
