I have noticed lately that there seems to be less and less new discussions. I am having to dig back to older ones to post things.
I am wondering if its because in some countries like where I live, the nice weather has hit and people are doing more outdoors things and less time on the computer.
Has anyone else noticed this? Why do you think it is?

Hi Sanyoritaa,
yes, there are less new discussion and that is becaus I am not posting new discussions evey day. For last 5-6 days I hae only started 2 of them. This could be because in my country IPL season 2 is running and people are busy watching Cricket, thus can't find new ideas to post.
The summer season could have something to do with it too. I don't know but in any case I would not stop loving you. I would still love you!

Oh, yes, I can never stop loving all of you till my last breath because you all are now part of my life. I wish I was a mother, I could hug you all with that motherhood feeling but I can't because I am a guy and a guy can't give that kind of hug! So, ... I would give you a blessing.

What I've noticed is, MyLot have really tightened up on REPEATED discussions so yes, to find something new to talk about we are either having to search it out or create something original. I am all for it - there were too many spammers coming here and posting "hey I found a great new way to make money" threads just so they could pick up referrals.
I've also noticed a dearth of "How do I make money online/at MyLot" one liners. The discussions are fewer - but a lot more interesting.
Suits me!

Yes I did notice there was a lot of repeated discussions. And I dont like the one liners about how to make money. But then again, some people do but I dont consider that a discussion. I had started making up hypothetical ones, so that I wouldnt copy anyone but I guess sometimes it happens.

I have noticed - and I am pleased that there are fewer.
There have been so many 'complaints' about repeated topics and there are so many interesting dicussions buried out there in profiles that there is no need for new ones in my opinion. A discussion has to be discussed and so many have not been dicussed at all. They are there waiting for us to 'land' on them...

Then there are those who start so many then say they have no time to get back to comment What is the point?
There are so many here that we could go on for a heck of a long time without starting any new ones at all!

I agree..I have found some from months ago that are interesting that I didnt know even existed. Before it was all I could do to get through the new daily ones so a lot was missed.

I agree..and where there are new members joining all the time, most of us have never seen the discussions from long ago. They lay buried and with not many replies.

Hi Snadymay,
I have noticed a few slow nights on myLot and it can be a pain to find some interesting or fun discussions to reply to. I have my email notifiers on and I would have to agree there was not much in my inbox. I guess someone some where is getting the good weather, it has been raining here all day so I have now choice then to stay inside and myLot.
Now where is the banana discussion

I've definitely noticed. I'm often noticing too that what is posted, is questions I've already seen asked here. Or discussions I've already seen in a few different words. I would imagine more people are spending their time outside in this beautiful weather. I'm usually on here in the evenings though, after dark! haha and before bed. So I'm really not losing out on any sunshine by being on here when I am.

Yes, I think it might be the nice weather and exams for some of the younger ones too.
I have seen repeat discussions too. Is there a way we can tell before starting discussions?

I have actually noticed that for the entire month of May so far. In April when I first joined there were so many new discussions that it was easy for me to reach the payout in the 3 weeks but now in 3 weeks I haven't even earned a dollar.
I know the beginning of the month was exams for all college sudents so that affected me not coming on for the first two weeks and probably was the reason it was slow at that point because when I could find the time to come on there wasn't anything that was interesting at all.
And now its summer so there are outside activities, outside yard work, vacations, etc. Hopefully it picks up soon because I would love to reach payout next month. I thought I would be doing it each month but nope.

Yes I never even thought of exams and stuff, but that is true too. I guess we have to go back into old discussions. I have seen some commenting on ones that are months old. Also I do the tasks, or I dont think I would reach payout either

I do not see is a bad thing because when theres an influx of repetitive discussions it gets boring. I think we should be encouraged to return to older discussions and extend the life of them because I've found some really interesting discussions in here from 3 years ago and its ashame because they only got like four or five comments. The pop culture seems more popular.

Yes I noticed this, When the Weather gets nice a lot of people won't be here on Mylot, especially in the Summer, this will be my 4th. Summer here. Three years already.

Hi sandymay, it's true that lesser new discussions are found recently. I even have to answer the similar ones which I have answered before. I usually would like to write 10 posts or so daily. I find I don’t have mood to write posts with less choice. So very often I try to dig out some old and interesting ones to cope with.
Yeah, I think you are right. The weather is fine and beautiful! Many of them are having happy vacation or involve in many other more attractive outdoor activities to get themselves refreshed. I did spend half a day together with my loved ones beside the stream two days back. Well, it is so pleasant and healthy to have fun by the side of the stream.
Happy posting

Here where I live in Canada, the weather is just warming up so many of us are outdoors enjoying the nice weather, after a long snowy winter..Same for many places in the US..

Not sure what everyone's talking about as it seems to have been about the same as always, if not more active. I've actually been super active trying to catch up with all the replies and replies to the replies I made on discussions. It's actually been more "hectic" then usual, on my opinion. Maybe you people should all start checking out other Mylot sections? I mean, i'm anticipating a new monthly high of earnings this month from Mylot because of it soooo. Hm.

You are probably right. I think a lot of us look first at our friends to see what discussions they have started lately. With the friends, that I have, the discussions are down...Im sure I can find more elsewhere...but I still have enough between them and the tasks to keep me busy.

yes, actually, there are new topics but its either not catchy, nor not interesting for me that is... but still i love mylot and hope there would be more interesting discussions

There seems to be a few difference of opinion, I think it just depends where we look for discussions..It would be nice to get some good ones on here..

I had not noticed that. Maybe wait until the end of the month when everyone is trying to make payout and they are scrambling to make posts. I never seem to find that there are not enough posts to answer, in some cases there seems way too many. Of course I am not on here all day so maybe that makes a difference.
@sandymay48 (2030)

I think the time of day makes a difference as well. And I do beleive that many of us in countries that are just getting into nice weather, are probably spending more time outdoors..I Know I am!

I have noticed the same thing. It appears that the ones that are here, have been discussed more than others, and it has become very repetitive. I just do a search to sse if there is something different out there, that I haven't posted to. It is amazing how many discussions there are in mylot. I bet most people don't know about some of them. At least searching gives me something new to post to, and it isn't so repetitive that way. Well, good luck to and happy mylotting.

Maybe we should all dig back and bring up some that are old and restart them..There are many that have few responses and could be rekindled..maybe I will go hunting for some

Yes, I have noticed this. It's been really slow today, for so reason that I haven't figured out. I'm glad though that I'm not the only one, who has noticed this fact. I wish I did have an idea why the discussions seems to be slow today. It happens. We don't always know why this sort of thing happens.
@salonga (27775)

Yes there are fewer and fewer discussions nowadays. This is because many users are either busy in their respective jobs either online or offline, or they have already run out of good topics to post. I myself have not been posting because my brain simply could not think of any good topic and also I am so busy with my regular job so all I am doing is to just participate in discussions here.

Are you kidding me! There are a lot of new discussions! I already make around 10 a day! And with around 170,000 other people in the myLot community, there should be a lot more! When I go to the new discussions tab, I find a lot! LIke just today I found yours! =)

I guess there are still quite a few discussions..I guess what I meant was I normally look for discussions that friends have started first, In there, there doesnt seem to be all that many. I should start looking elsewhere too. Thanks.

I have actually only been a member of this wonderful online community for a few days and have not seen the dramatic decrease in any new articles and have always found new articles to reply to. It can be a possibility that more and more people are either busy with their lives or they are spending more time outdoors as the weather is getting better. I hope the discussions don't decrease as I enjoy this site greatly.

Im glad you enjoy the site as so do I. I joined in February and find it to be the best site out there. There are some real genuine people on here with real things to say, and some real fun people too. I have had some great times on here and hope you do too. I think maybe the nice weather in some countries has slowed things down as the membership actually continues to climb. Good luck and welcome
