To add or not to add....

I don't add my friends. They added me. I don't even know why. But do having friends really make your income greater?

definitely to add! ^^ we should add every friendly people here in mylot coz its a network that shares the same interests of every person, and its a social network so why not add? just add and add until your full :) hope I would have many friends here in mylot! cheers to all! and belated merry Christmas and adv happy new year to all! ^_^

mmh normally i add people if they request a friendship here on mylot!!Natually you won't know all but i think if you stay active there are many situations that you can meet many people also after sometime you did not see there too!! I think is a good chance ven o have more discussion available in your friends' discussion section..

Hi rene: I haven't known that if i add a new member i would receive more earnings. I am actually surprised of this discovery. Lol. XD. I think i add my friends for almost the same reasons you add yours a) when i find that this person thinks almost the same i do. I'll be interested in adding this person as a friend because this would make easier to keeo myself in contact with tha person and to follow the other discussions he/she will start or b.) because i have found that this person have some very interesting arguments even if i don't agree with what he/ she is saying because i think it would be interesting to have a wise conversation with him/her. Thanks for asking us this question rene. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care. -Alvaro.

Oh, I didn't know that adding new members as friends here will make your earnings greater! Let's try... I'll add more friends especially new ones...

We can and we must add all friend.. friend it's Everything... Friend help you out from you're trouble and friend make you happy right ? It's this case.. Yes... Friend make me out from trouble and make me happy.. Frined it's everything.. No one can replace...

I do not have too many friends in my list in comparison to the number of years I have been here. Not that I am picky but I stop requesting for friends when I realized that many turned out to be 'sleeping partners' and only act as decorative accessories in my friends list. Though I do still accept friends request whenever someone want to be added. Mylot is a social site and part of the reasons to be here is to have friends that respond to our discussions and vice versa. We need friends support to make our posts successful otherwise not having them will see our discussions being haunted and left in the cold.

As you may have found out by now that its only people who genuinely found this site interesting are still around. All those who thought they could make a quick buck or two have left. Accepting friend requests in MyLot is a discussion I've seen cropping up quite frequently in the 3 years I've been here. I think its in your best interest to add everyone who sends you a friend request. The fact that you don't know these people shouldn't act as a deterrent because you don't stand to lose anything even if you add them. You can only gain. Not adding people may lead to situations where you may miss out on interesting discussions. Also, if you stay long enough, you're bound to know more people in one way or the other. So, go on and add as many people as you can.

Hi there, thankfully I haven't had to add friends much because most of the time members request me as a friend, and I'm very grateful that members seem to want to add me to there friends list, and I usually accept there request because I haven't found the need not to accept, and over my time being in mylot I've made some really loyal mylot friends I guess they choose me because I'm always kind and I'm also a veteran member who tries to stay as active as I can. I dont really collect friends here they collect me, I just go with the flow.

I add every friend request while i rarely ask for friend request unless they reply on my discussion. So far having nice list of friends help not to get zero in any discussion then the bad sides.Some befriend to spam you, to spy on their friend activities, those with zero activity is a strange behavior who request seem to have other hidden agendas. When they reach more than 100 post it is then they could rate the person which they never like and not just for the reasons the person do wrong/bad discussion. it so happen others befriend to rate their supposed to be friends but end up as a trolls..So it is the downside too of approving every friend request..

I rarely add friends on here unless they have been here for a while and have been active, I learned the hard way when I first joined I was accepting friends requests left right and centre and just getting spammed by them in my inbox so annoying, so I only add people that I like now or that I have had a conversation with. Also if anybody on my friends list spams me they are gone lol, as its so annoying.

Hi rene, adding friends for the sake of building numbers won't help you at all, they are merely names on a list. Taking the time to build a good solid freinds list is the key. The approach you have now is the right one. Take a look through some of the people on the list of someone who has tons of friends, you'll see names sitting there with less than 10 posts, banned members, spammers, inactive members. I rarely accept any F/Rs now as I don't understand the motivation of someone I've never conversed with requesting it. I prefer to request people I meet who I think I'd get along with and who will visit my discussions as I would visit theirs. I usually delete anyone who asks before having 100 posts as they may well be a banned member returning under another name. My list has now grown over time but I know everyone on it and something about each of them. I also regularly clear the list out.

For me, when I read discussions and I see that that person makes sense, I add them. Also there are some people adding me too and I just accept them. Let me add you too =)

I have mixed feelings about this. In one respect, it is good to have a lot of friends, especially active ones, because lots of people check their friend's discussions while they are on. However, having too many people in your friends can cause all sorts of problems. You may end up with people with no similar interests, people who write a bunch of one-liners, people who stop being active, or people who post numerous daily discussions, cluttering your friends discussions with a bunch of junk. Personally, being a new user on the site, I will accept anyone I have recognized from posting on their discussions or them posting on mine, provided it wasn't a one-liner or something that violated the rules. However, when I get a few more friends on here, I will be a lot more critical of who I accept. I will start filtering out people with less than 100 rating, because I can't be certain of their willingness to remain an active member. I would also delete anyone who hadn't logged in for the past 2 months or so. I wouldn't add people I didn't recognize or people who have a history of one liners and breaking the rules. I would look at their discussions from recently and see if they are something I'd be interested in. Then, after weighing all of that, I would determine whether or not to accept them. However, I would like to get a small handful of active members who actually respond to my discussions before I get that critical. Oh, and if I find that I have had a friend who has never or almost never posted to my discussions, I won't keep them around because clearly they are either inactive or we have conflicting interests. So, lots of friends can be a good thing, but they'd need to be active ones who respond to you and you respond to them, not just every noob that comes along. Btw, I plan on hanging around if anyone wants to check me out. I don't even have as much rating as I said I'd filter out, but if anyone likes my posts and wants to be friends, I wouldn't be opposed, provided you are someone I have heard of before. I only have one friend so far, but have responded to several of their discussions and some that we have mutually responded to. Anyway, done for now, but that's my detailed answer to your question, lol!

Hi rene, mylot is a social site where we discuss and make friends and earn some pocket money as a bonus. The more friends you have defintely more interaction and more earning. But it is give and take, just having a long list of friends is of no use. One needs to take part in each others discussions and keep up the contact . I take part in any discussion that I find interesting , started by any member old or new - like I have done now.But I do look out for discussions started by my friends - all the best and have a great Sunday

The friends that I have on my list are all except one or two who requested me to add them. I have done that and I see no reason why we should not. As we interact atleast a few of them will become real friends.

There is a old saying Birds of same feather flock together. It is good to have few good friends with like minded as they understand you and help you in need. Here in my lot earning is not the criteria but keeping good communication is very important. If you like my discussion kindly add me as one of your friends.
