Yeah, I can't believe that's true, either, but it is. I have been away from MyLot for almost three years and I have to confess: it feels like visiting for the very first time! I honestly feel like a newbie! I have no idea what tasks are, or how to find my way around blogs... Hell, even my profile looks kinda weird and abandoned. I guess I'll have to work on that one in my spare time 
The thing is, I can't really explain why I left, or why I'm coming back... I remember having great fun and great discussions here, so I'm hoping to be able to have that again 
. I hope you guys will be gentle with me 
Am I a record breaker, with my three years hiatus? What's the longest you stayed away from mylot, and why did you come back?

HI Calajane,
That's a long time to be away from myLot. I have been away from myLot for a year. When I came back, there were so many new things I learnt with regards to new websites and stuff. It kept me updated on some of the things that was important to me. I realized that I needed to be here more often. Subsequently, I dropped by myLot once in a while as an observer, but was not really participating much. But over the past few days, I thought a nice payout by Christmas or at least New Year would be wonderful, so I started to be more active these days. Why I went away? It's a long story. Why I came back? Just felt a little more relaxed after some difficult times.

i Think it will make a lovely gift, even if it's just $10

I'm a little afraid MyLot will monopolize my free time, but I'm staying opticmistic that I'll be able to pace myself well with my other activities now that I decided to embrace mylot again And I certainly wish you good luck. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you get a nice payout by Christmas. I think it will make a lovely gift, don't you think?

Welcome back Calajane. I think the longest time I was gone from mylot was a month. 3 years gone is a lot of time away I guess. Maybe you're the record breaker. I come back most of the time to refresh. See what great digests I can get from MyLot. I like the way MyLot threads our discussions and responses. I guess that's why I keep coming back. It's not like a forum site, so it's all great. To top that off with a ton of information just about anything lame or genius. I don't see anything like MyLot around the web. Good to have ya back! Cheers!

Thank you Wolveren! For me, at first MyLot was a bit too chaotic, I had no idea what to do or where to look, I might have some missteps in my mylot history, but it all ended well Now that I'm back, I hope I'll find my place again and the community will welcome me back! I missed this place!

Welcome back! The longest I have stayed away from my lot is just two days I think. As a newbie I couldn't feel to stay away longer than that. Sometimes I log in only to see if there are interesting discussions, but if there's none, I don't bother to post anything at all. I only post my own discussions when I'm inspired to do so and have a great idea. I just don't like to post anything that doesn't make sense at all for the sake of earning.
Well, I hope with your come back I can see more interesting posts in here.

Oh! I remember when I was still a newbie (an actual one, not like now ). I couldn't stop checking mylot, not wanting to miss on a discussion. I was cursing the time zones so much! Now, I first reply to people before even considering posting a new discussion. Obviously, this discussion is an exception, because I wanted to say "HI"
Thank you for the warm welcome!

Welcome back! It is great to see you in Mylot again. This is why I always think it is better for Mylot not to delete the inactive users. Because one day they may come back:) I have joined Mylot for four years and I still like it here. Except for having a travel which I can't access internet, I almost post here everyday:)
I love China

I cannot begin to describe how surprised (and pleased) I was when I saw they didn't delete my account. I have to admit they would have every right to do that! But hey, now I can't complain. I also feel like I should be very active just to prove to the mylot people that they didn't make a mistake by keeping my account open. I hope that I'll be able to visit mylot and post at least once a day, that for sure!

I joined myLot over 2 years ago, and I am very happy that I did. MyLot is a very unique place for meeting and making friends with wonderful people around the world. This is a community of sincere people working together for mutual benefits. That is the true value of myLot to me. I am glad that you have come back to the community, and I look forward to see you active in the community.

Its a good thing you started a discussion because I've been deleting people who haven't been active for at least 6 months. I took a vacation for a while, I didn't start very many discussions but I responded to a few just to keep active. I'm glad you're back, I think a lot of people left to go to Facebook but know they are coming back to see some changes in myLot. Keep up the discussions!

Woah that was like...ages! Welcome back, friend! Hmm...for me, the longest I stayed away from here was like months. I guess if I have to stay away another time would be during my National Service.

Welcome back! I don't really have a straight stay here on mylot. I'm usually on and off here. Everytime I feel like responding to discussion or making a new discussion, the first site I visit is mylot. The longest time I was away here in mylot was 8 months I think? I still haven't received any payment from mylot but that's ok. I'm here for fun anyway :)

8 months? Wow! Can I ask what made you leave or what kept you away? You don't have to tell me, of course, but I"m just curious.
To be honest, I received payment from mylot. Just one, but then again, I didn't join to earn, the earning was more of a peculiarity I was fascinated about. I agree with you, fun's the biggest part of why I"m here

Wow three years is a very long time and i thought that mylot would suspend your account if you didn't come back in 90 days. Did yu just happen to pop up in between sometimes?
First of all i would like to welcome you back to mylot. I am also impressed by your rating as a 10 star one! You have worked quite hard for it and it would give me great pleasure to be your friend.
Well i have just stayed away from mylot for just a month now and i think that is too long if you ask me. And since i missed it so much i am back here for now and i would continue to stay here for a while now.
Cheers!

Well believe it or not I last logged in six years ago and started it again. it is only now that I had the time to continue it again because I am resting at home due to a terminal illness.

Well, I can relate to that. I've been away for more than 3 years and It felt like I'm new to this site.
What made me come back here? I can't explain either :) but I guess it was the fun of sharing thoughts to fellow MyLoters.
Have a Great week!
