Even though I am a member of mypage5.com , I never used to log in regularly because of the quality of the posts & one word responses.It feels like a trash if you enter mypage5.com.
Today just when I enetered it there was a post from the admin saying that responses with 1 word or just like a phrase will not be tolerated anymore.So they want to give MYLOT a challenge...hahaha...its incomparable to MYLOT.
What do you say?

Krupesh.. Its not good to laugh at or make fun of a site u are a active member of as yet.. They arent scam and everyone has a room for improvement .. In no ways is mylot comparable to mypage5 since this is a site for discussion n u are paid just for it which keeps up the quality. Sure mylot is the best. But it never was perfect from day one i guess. Improvements must always be welcomed.. I too am a member there n would appreciate admin there for his actions. It has a easy interface whic mylot lacks like a group chat room. But both are the best in their own terms. Lets hope it gets betr n grows to a level near mylot qualitatively. No offence wit u bro. Just my view.. Tak care..

Dilip just read carefully what I have mentioned.I have told that "eventhough I am a member at mypage5 I rarely go there just coz' of the quality of the discussions & postings".
When everyone knows that its not good why are you biased towards mypage5?Nothing can beat MYLOT in the near future.
No words such as offence comes here when its an open discussion w are dealing with.

Ya.. everyone knows its not good.. u said. Do u blame the admin or site there for this? Its cuz of members tat a site gets a rep n being a good member is bout making it better. Jus as u said..'tx for sharing'..will also be paying u.. Just shows tat u would do it too cuz yr jus concerned bout earning.. U wouldn do it here cuz u don get paid for it! Should u write der like u do here, u earn faster n also experience tat its not the site but its members who make the site qualitative. I defend mypage5 cuz sometimes perfection n quality isn't everything .. U don get friends here to chat wit 'personally' unlike there.. I made many friends there n am in touch wit dem too. Mylot also has lags in features.. Like ppl can tag u anything on your discussions n u won know who did it or how to remove it! N plz if u don like it fine..but wy compare it wit this site n leave 'your' impression of it on others too..? I think both are cool.. M biased to it now cuz m a member of it n i have to be.. :)

Really, it's not like MyPage 5 has a choice in the matter. The quality of the content on the site is horrible right now, and it's all thanks to people who are abusing the system. The one-word responses and profile comments are so irritating. I've started moderating the comments my profile receives because I'm sick of everyone posting things like "Hi!"
Just this week I've had two different users copy and paste parts of my blog entries as comments on those exact same blog entries! One of them was even stupid enough to do it on a couple of the Admin's blog entries today. And I'm not even going to get started on all of the idiots who left one-word responses on the blog entries about NOT leaving one-word responses to blog entries...
I think both MyPage 5 and MyLot fill certain requirements. MyLot is a site where you can come to discuss a lot of interesting topics. MyPage 5's design doesn't really encourage users to have good discussions. If they added threaded comments on the blog entries, maybe it would. Maybe what it'll really take is them removing the flat rates for every action. Part of the fun here at MyLot is logging in and being surprised by how much you earned the previous day. ^_^%

I love coming here because it is so obvious you are having a "convo" with real people. Based on the comments here, I won't waste time going to this other site. Better things to do than get spam to my profile! Plus, I'm a bit worried how secure my personal details would be. I've already had "Nigerian Princes" using my real name in posts to my email account - they knew a lot of other personal details too, which is worrying. I worked out it was because I'm a member of unregulated Yahoo groups, so I unsubscribed.
Here, I feel safe. Don't think I'd get that security on MyPage.

there came many such sites in between when you were paid for stupid one line discussions and responses, and soon after some time u come to know that such sites are scam, if u r not sure about if the site pays or not, dont waste your time there or u will have to regret later.

Most of the other sites were not set up to scam users. It was the rate per post, and/or how the posts are rated which attracted money seekers who never bothered to make quality or content filled posts. There is no way, at least that is the way I see it, any Admin could make money out of these postings. Therefore they became unable to pay members. A scammer is a person who intentionally cheats another person of his/her money.

Never heard of it. I am just getting used to mylot. That's to bad about the one word phrase sometimes that's all you can say.

I have to agree with you. I have seen other sites comparable to my lot but none of them seem to have the atmosphere this place has. My lot just seems to make you feel welcome and want to post. I haven't seen another site with the topics like my lot has and the people on other sites don't seem to want to post like they do on here.

I've never heard of the other site you are talking about but if it was as bad as you say it was, and I am sure it is, then I would have no interest in joining such a site anyway as I do take pride in being able to give a somewhat decent response or start a decent discussion! But I am glad to hear they are trying to clean it up a bit...they still will not be any competition for myLot though!

Mypage5 is different from Mylot in a sense that Mypage5 offers pay for uploaded videos, photos, comments, blog, and much more. Mylot concentrates on open topic discussions where people participate and earn money. Unlike on Mypage5, you have many ways to earn money. What is irritating is that people there abuse the kindness of the Admin by posting nonsense words as a comment to a picture or video or even blog which is really not related to the topic.
I have also found out someone who posted the exact same comment on a video, which this person copy pasted the answer of other member commenting on the same video, it was really frustrating to see such idiot, i guess at that time, he doesn't have a brain and just wanted to borrow one from a member who posted a comment and bingo, he got instant 2 cents.
What is good on Mypage5 was that the Admin keeps on warning people, not impulsively banned those trolls and spammers or yet you don't have any idea at all why you can't log in anymore without any further notice just like what CIAO did to most Asian Countries, banning them without any notice.
But since he posted a new warning again, i can still see a lot of people posting one liner answers for blogs which will make you go nuts when you see it there. I hope he will really remove those spammers so that the quality of the site remains. I have a trauma about this when Destroy Debt closed it's door to revenue when spammers attacked the site . I hope this site will still continue to grow and be strong just like Mylot. I don't have any means of comparing since both are really precious gems.

I have nver heard of it. If they are starting to make more rules they might be worried they will be in troubl eiwth giving out too much money too easily soon. I wouldn't trust it. If they get bigger than mylot let's just hope they can pay...I will have to go visit it but I cannot stand stupid conversations and one word answers.

I haven't ever heard of that site. However, I would think that it would be hard for them to compete with mylot as this site is fabulous. However, if they can take some of the rules from here and make their site better, then I say that they should. I hope that you continue to use both sites. I hope that they don't try to compare themselves to mylot.

I am also a new member but I don't know if it will pay. There are no members who said that they have been paid.

Hi.
I just visited the site and have to say, it is nice and clean (at least the design is) and very simple as well. But yea no one can challenge Mylot.
It is the best in its class.
