Do you remember when you first felt really at home on mylot?

I've been a member for about 5 months, and I slotted into the swing of things fairly quickly, making new friends and learning the ropes as I went along. However, I only started to feel really 'at home' about two months ago, and it was curious how it came about. I responded to a discussion on homosexuality. Although I usually steer clear of more contentious subjects, I felt I could make a worthwhile contribution to this, as my daughter is gay and we have talked a lot about the subject and her own take on things. Basically, I was pilloried because I didn't fit in with how some people wanted the discussion to work, and my star rating went from 9 to 6 overnight - it still hasn't recovered fully, although I'm getting there. I was just about ready to leave, but I wasn't going to give in to bullies. I posted a discussion on my problem, and the level of support I received, and the number of people who offered practical advice and made friend requests made me feel as if I really belonged here. Since then, I've familiarised myself with how things run here, so that I can help others who experience difficulties. It's easy to fit in when things are going well, but sometimes you need to come up against problems to really discover your place in the scheme of things.

So before that happened you were waiting to go to bed and now?... you can't wait to ge up and get started right? Once you feel 'at home' here that is when it all seems so much easier. Once you start recognising usernames and avatars and have some people who recognise you too then you feelpart of something and feel that you belong here. That happened to me about six months after I joined. Things were different here then. There were fewer users and not many dicussions helping others like there are now. It took longer to make friends and generally there was less, in my opinion, fun going on. Once I felt part of something there was no stopping me either - and look where it has got me!

Welcome to myLot and hope you will continue to feel like this and continue to want to be an active member here. I have been a member here for almost 3 yrs. now and I cannot really remember when I first really started enjoying this site, but I know it has been quite a while now. For me this is a place I have bragged about with many people and it a joy being able to come in here everyday when I can and converse with others, meet new people from all over the world while making New friends, and earning a little extra $$ as well. Personally I cannot imagine not being here, and hope myLot will continue to last as well.

It did not take me long at all to feel at home here. I got good response and still do to my discussion. It wasn't long before I started coming here with problems or issues in my real life. I feel a special bond with mylottians. It's nice!

Today is the day i joined mylot.I ask my friend to join this siteit sound so interesting and sharpen my mind.Im not really good in english but im trying to.Now im so excited everyday for the reply of my question at mylot.Thanks for sharing this website.I feel happy now and i dont feel bored.....Thanks

Yes, I did and that was last year, this is a place of exchanging ideas and views. something that i haven't really experience doing outside or in the other social networking sites. I like this site, it's not just a home, but it's a community where people around the world can talked and have a nice chat.

Yeah i do..it was when I met true frineds on myLot whom I keep in touch on a regular basis now. Most of the people I meet are only those I come accross on discussion boards. But I happened to connect with a few people whom I have common grounds with. We share the same interests, and I find it easy to like them and be close with them

honestly i was attracted to the money but i think is it is possible. some interesting dicussions and topics.
