I'm Getting Bored On Other Sites, But I Always Come Back To MyLot

Recently, I've joined some new sites. But, I've gotten bored of them. But I always come back to myLot. I mean, I get tired of clicking, or writing articles, but I always come back here. Maybe because I can express myself in so many different ways here. I've been on myLot longer than I've been on the other sites, but I still enjoy myLot a lot more.

How long have you been on myLot? Do you get bored of other sites very quickly and come here to relieve your boredom?[/b]

Geez Stephanie, you make me feel old...wait a minute according to my son I am...
Well the first year I actually wasn't here for about 4 months when our computer first crashed and then in Jan 2009, it crashed again and I wasn't here for 15 months, so it wasn't like I have been active all 4 of those years...
There is too many benefits from being here to not come back..I have learn Many new recipes and ideas and tips, I can't count them..and though the pay isn't the best, one year I did some of my Christmas shopping thanks to saving up what I had in paypal from mylot..
So unless my computer breaks down or mylot closes down, I am here to stay..:)

I hope you don't have any more computer crashes! I love reading your responses!
I bet you're younger than my parents! They're fairly old for parents of a 19 year old.

I've only been here for less than a year. And the reason I keep coming back are the few people I've found here that have helped me with a few kind words here and there.
Also, one of the reason which makes this site easy, is the anonymity. You could express your ideas in a few lines, and you don't have to exert too much effort explaining yourself.

Agreed! You've been here longer than me though1 I've only been here for 2 months! I've helped quite a few people on here as well. I haven't needed much help as of yet, but when I do, I bet people will offer their advice. I love it here. And wow, you're rated 100/100 on here! Nice job!

hi stephanieAnnC I have been here three years now, and was off for 11 months due to being evicted and having to find other housing without any jobs. So am still here in the retirement c enter and now for the past six months have got back on the net again with my old computer and newer monitor. I still love mylot as I can talk to my friends, and share and care and earn a bit too. I still do a few surveys but avoid a lot of them as I can never qualify on them at all.

I never qualify for surveys, and although others say they earn well, they just bore me to pieces. I feel frustrated with the time I spend just to be told I do not qualify.

Hi Stephanie,
I occasionally get bored with my online activities, even with myLot. But whenever I feel like being active again, myLot comes to mind first. I would leave this site for a while, experiment on some other things, some other sites, some other activities. Then when all else bore me, myLot saves the day.

Hi dory vien: It's logycal that sometimes we just don't want to do anything or that we feel bored or that we don't have any ideas to contribuate on the forums. However, the Mylot experience is so nice that you'll come back again here. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.
ALVARO.

@starsailover: I agree with you. Everyone needs to take a break sometimes, even from myLot. I hate taking breaks, but I need to. Breaks just seem almost like a waste of time sometimes.

I have been here for only two months but I enjoy the discussing atmosphere and kind people here! MyLot is a wonderful place to relieve stress and boredom.
But, it seems I see you less frequently these days...? What site did you join? Were they sites for discussing like myLot?

You do see me less. your eyes aren't fooling you. I had a part time job for a few weeks this summer and I'm volunteering some of my time at my local library now. You'll probably see me less during the school year. But I'm still here. I poke my head out occasionally.

I've been on mylot for over four years. So have you gotten a little bored with "G"? I like mylot because it seems it is easier to carry on a "conversation" here. At least more so than the other place we both belong to. I get bored with surveys, that's for sure. Although I still like mylot, I wish I could get back how much I loved it when I first joined.

Well, I still love the people the same. I've made some good friends here, and I never get tired of them. But when I first joined, I was on mylot as soon as I was free for the day. And I loved looking for discussions, and responding. Maybe it's just a natural thing. Like when you get a new toy, and you love it, but then as time wears on, you still like it, but you don't have the same excitement you had when you first got it.
I would definitely miss mylot if it were gone. And to be fair, the last four years of my life have been rough. Perhaps the emotional upheaval has altered my enthusiasm for many things, and I just haven't noticed it.
I'm so glad you like mylot though. You have the makings of a long timer. You know some people join and you know they'll be here a while, but then lose interest. Then others you think, I'll still know them a year from now! lol

HI Ambie Pam: Wow.. four years. Itb looks like a really long time I think. In my case I've been here for almost a year and there has been moments where I don't feel the excitement to go here and participate. In these cases I prefered not to enter the site. I agree with you on the fact that this is more like a social network rather than an earning site, I really enjoy to have the possibility to participate on the conversations that are developed here. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Gather is an okay site. I mean, I'm a bit bored of it, to be honest. It's not really up my alley, Amber. I guess it's more of a social networking site than an earning site and I haven't found as good as friends over there. Or enough interesting conversations, I guess. I'm still there though.
Four years is a long time! How come you don't love it as much as you used to?

I was on another site like this one for awhile but didn't like it. I don't think it is around anymore anyway. I go to half a dozen other sites. THe reason I don't become bored I think is because I don't just stay on one site. I go to one for awhile, play a game or go do something else, then I go back there or to another site and work there awhile. I don't let myself become bored.

I joined myLot almost a year ago but I don't really participate often anymore like I used to. When I was just new here I was very much excited to express my opinions and mingle with other myLotters, but then again I don't have that much free time because of school and stuff. Now I'm trying to catch up will the discussions here and I somehow realized that I missed all these good stuff that people share and talk about. Like you said, it always feels good to come back here in myLot so that's what I'm doing now. Good day :)

I am here about five moths, but from them I was inactivate two months. It means I use myLof only 3 months this is third month. Yes this happens with me too I am bored to other sites where I am joined, but when I come here in myLot I always find what to do. Because, here always is fun. There are funny people like Diana and others. This is one of my hobbies spend my time here in myLot. Take care, Have a nice day!

Hi Et28lv: the more time you spend here the more friends you'll find. friends are another good reason to stay here on mylot. And I agree with you, it's easy to find something to do, somewhere to participate here on the site. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Holy Mack you have 890 points already look at my points way below I know we started at the same time , truly I do also go back here as often as I could just wandering myself around, I feel bored then I go mylot but the problem here they deleted a lot of my comments and post which aggravated my interest on posting and commenting. So I do comments once in a while only. How 's your other site doing such as fiverr I know you are a member also of that site? fiverr now have no more minimum cashout sorry I changed the topi, anyways it's really good to back every now and then here in mylot.

Hi Bella pop: I think that when you look for the subjects that really interest you and you find different opinions and also when you have the oportunity to learn new things, Mylot start being addictive to you. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

I agree, Bella. Maybe try to make a myLot schedule to help. I spent way too much time on here in the beginning and became bored. So, I took a few days of rest and now I am refreshed! It IS addictive and I'm addicted--I was addicted from the start!

i felt the same thay is why I spend more time here than any other site specially forum. I felt useless if I spend more time in any socialize site and you earn nothing. Better here in mylot aside for being socialize with your online friends you will also rewarded by your participation. It adds you eagerness to stay here that posting in different forum and you lost time and earn nothing.

Yes, exactly! Why's that?
I also attempted other sites but always got back here! I even got inactive for a few months. And yet, here I am.

I have been on Mylot a year and a half. I do get bored with Mylot once in awhile. Mostly it is I just need a break for a day or 2 from here! I still think alot of people would rather not hear my opinion on discussions or reply to my discussions! I have seen the good and bad sides of Mylot! I keep coming back because I like to make money! I want to get to th point,too,where I don't care about what people think of me!

Same here, I didn't use Mylot for more than 8 months, but then I came back, because you see a lot of interesting people here in Mylot. Plus you go through a lot of experiences... those views of random people are so different from one another. So yeah, it's a fun place... along with generating some good revenue per month.

Hi Stephanie Ann C: Same happends to me. I have met some really interested sites, but there's noone like Mylot so I come back very often to discuss with all of my friends of the site about the different subjects that we like to discuss here. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day.

Hi StephanieAnnC!
I know I do. There is something that attracts me to. And like you, I always come back here to myLot. myLot connects me to the world. There are differences as there are lots of similarities in opinions and views. But they all add up to a fun, exciting and interesting stay here in myLot, at least for me. I know I'm not alone.
