How Do You "Plan" To Quit MyLot ?

Hi MyLotters, We have been on this site for quite sometime now and during our stay, we have made some good friends...no...Great Friends. But sometimes we have to move out of the site and are away from it. This at times becomes a problem for those friends who stay back on mylot. Recently we got some discussions too on this one where someone was searching the whereabouts of another. Even I am searching for someone... just being unaware of his whereabouts, well-being etc. So we all need to understand that we may not get emotionally attached with others but sometimes others get emotionally attached with us. Not even that, I think it is common courtesy to let your friends know where you are moving out. Could we share some of the thoughts on this topic? Regards, theSids.

Hi Sid I have no intentions of leaving Mylot, I have been here from the Start and yes a few Friends have just disappeared but other Friends that are not here any more I have their Email address so we are still in contact If I was to leave I would let my Friends know and give them the option to stay in contact but I have no intentions of going lol

I agree and also wouldnt quit the site..I have shuffled off and stayed away for an amount of time but that was just for my own sanity LOL whenever the Lot goes through one of those "episodes" where everyone is arguing and its just not fun to be here I take a step back for a bit..AND I was away due to being sick for a time as well..but no, I'd never really, fully QUIT the Lot

Hi Paul I am sooooooooo happy to seeee you back here. The last message was that you were all going on a picnic and then there was no news. I understand the office rules thing... watch out the PM i will send you soon. And yes, you are one of the friends behind this discussion and there is one more (I have a hunch that he is not going to respond as he is been away for about last 2 months and I just checked - he is not online even today... I think I will not get in contact with him ). Missed you

Hi Sid, i never plan to quit but there is a time that i had to leave this site for couple days or maybe weeks. at that time i feel so busy in my offline world. i can't even make any announcement or discussion about that. so i just come back, leave and back again

it is hard to make a tips while i never plan to do that. but some of my lotter here use to log in to their account with cell phone while they are busy. we know that we can do that when we are in the middle of something. but unfortunately, i guess i have to buy a new phone to stay connected no matter what i am doing it is good to have those coffee frozen, the taste reminds me of ice cream coffee

Hi ifa, I understand that there are other things in real life or even the virtual world that need to be attended to. This is why I am looking for tips or advices that you all can share just in-case you are away for a while (a bit longer than expected). Hope that you would keep returning back sooner... before your friends start worrying... or the coffee in my mug starts getting cold...(I love the cold coffee too but not frozen)

I am worried too about some friends at myLot who have disappeared without a word since months... I never planned to quit myLot. Sometimes you don't plan to quit. I am not sure that I would have been able to come back fast at myLot if all my computers had been stolen a week ago : I don't use the same password for two different sites, and I use random passwords, so I should have not been able to use anything, emails included. Except an accident like this one, or a more serious one, I think I would try to let one or two lines in my profile page if I had to leave for a few weeks and was not able to respond to my PM during this time.

Hi topffer I had two of these friends whom I needed to be in touch with for long... and I am surprised and happy that I have one here - who responded to this discussion today after so many many days... (below on another box) I love your idea - I would try to let one or two lines in my profile page if I had to leave for a few weeks and was not able to respond to my PM during this time - and would surely implement this in case I am forced to be away from this site (I know the days are near) @Suny: Give me some of those lessons too and I will get you something in return...

Unbelievable, but I received a PM in French from suny, thesids. He has a trick or a very good teacher, because he learnt in less than a day. I am worried about two friends who have vanished not only from myLot, but also from the internet, websites and blogs included, last year. I hope that they just want to change their life and are still alive...

For the email status I don't know, but I will ask. "Dr" looks better for an ebook I think, though "51" is not perfect : it is the nickname of a drink here, that makes you drunk quickly.

Well I have no intentional plans to quit, although life is getting a bit too difficult for me to catch up. Seems like not only am I four pages late but a dollar late at that. I do not plan on it, but I do have your email and will let you know, as I have to get back somehow into the work force as I am falling really short and really stressed out lately. I have also been disappointed a bit but still I do come here and still do my best to give it my whole hearted attention. So for now you will see me around, maybe on the four and fifth page but you will see this girl.

Hi GF I dont have many discussions that have the page 4 but never mind... I know that you are there and around and also we are having our connections(the emails) and that we would always wish each other the best of things in life and whatever we do And yes, when I will miss this girl, I would open up the discussions where we met and that would help me ease many things

But I always came back to see all friends.. I am really having nice time with you all.. So yes we all are emotionally attached.. And hope we will be in touch till the end.

Hi Akp Of course, I care about all my friends as they are what I have. Right now, there is one friend who has returned on my discussion - he was one of my first friends and I still remember that. Then there is one more who taught me some really great things about viewing life and I am missing him for quite sometime. I thought many more would be feeling the same way... so why not get some ideas and tips shared between us so that we can become better friends and stay in contact. I am happy that you did come back and shared your view here

True , true. I feel guilty when friends ask where I've been all this while but they still have an open arms to welcome me back. This is probably the best site ever for me .. in terms of being able to chat with friends from all over the world. I know there are other forums too , but nothing quite gives me the feeling as in myLot. For that , the next time I'm overdue in long absence like a few months due to something or what , I'll notify friends here. Good topic.

Hi mermaidivy, Welcome back to the world and hope you find many changes since you had been here...... I am sure it is just about time that you would find that many of your friends missed you when you were away and would really be happy to see you back... I can say this because one of my friends here too is away on maternity issues and I hope she would come back and I am eagerly awaiting the good news from her... Unfortunately I do not have any other way to contact her so am unaware of how is all going on with her but I wish her good

Hello thesids, I don't know, have tried this and that with some relative post about it too. However, it's hard to quit unless i find a new hobby but that would only preoccupied me from being too much active in mylot.but lately, i've been inactive but that doesn't mean i have to quit. maybe i can't quit unless something new comes into my life and i would decide to leave..something like that. for now, am just happy being here.

Hi LetranKnight Your being around has really helped me I cant say about others... but yes, I would miss you if I didnt see any of your discussions or responses around. Maybe I am being selfish but I dont care, someone has to be and why not me I have learned quite many things from you and many other seniors that otherwise would have been impossible and so I am possessive at times too about my friends (again not a good sign... but that is what I am). Just in case you would be away, I would miss you, I would think what wrong happened and why are you not around... and so many thoughts. Call this childishness, or anything like emotional attachment, but this will happen and so I need to know where are you and what are you doing when you have been away from MyLot for more than I can bear

Hi the sids: I have no plans to quit mylot so I don't know how to make this. I sometimes stop mylotting for a while because of my job but I always come back again. But in my case, I think I won't send a message saying goodbye because I really love the site and this would make the situation even more difficult for me. Oh well, I'll do it just to my closest friends. ALVARO

Hi starsailover Oh well, I'll do it just to my closest friends. That is the point . When at least one of your friends knows, s/he can spread the message to others and that way it would reach to all those who are interested in you, your well-being

Hello dear Sids! Definitely I would search for my dear friends like you if you're gone for some days. I know am not that active but whenever I see from my emails you posted a discussion,I see to it that I respond if I have time,if not,I still reply the next day. I believe I will never quit mylot because of my dear friends. They(including you)are one of the reasons why I enjoy mylot. If I will be leaving mylot for quite some time,I will definitely inform my friends about it so they will not worry. See yah!

I have been in and out of mylot. There are times when I'm very active in discussions and days when I am not. I have not been very close to anyone here so I don't think anyone misses me whenever I'm not around. But, I plan to stay with mylot for as long as this site is existing. This is a good site because it really pays its members though it's not that easy to get the minimum payout. So, I'll stick with mylot.

Hi aprilten, I understand your perspective here - I am not emotionally attached to anyone so why should anyone be with me - but then there are people like me too who are somewhat emotional fools and get attached. Think about it... who knows you too might have made some such friends... After all, it is a social site and attachments are a part of being social

First Bhai, I'm glad we are close enough that we can connect outside of My Lot. I have had friends who just disappear. It does hurt. I try not to worry but it is hard. I did have a friend who told me he was leaving My Lot . Thankfully I got his email and we are still connecting , just not here. I also told another friend here to please send me a private message if they are leaving My Lot so I could give thrm my email address. That way it is up to them to write me. I would never make someone stay if My Lot isn't for them but that does not mean I want to cut ties.

I don't know if I will ever totally quit mylot. I have often went inactive for long periods of time, but I have always come back. I think if I go inactive again, I would make a post telling that I need to take a break. Even when I was taking a break, I would look at discussions that were sent to my email box. If I saw something interesting, I would respond.

Hi Sid, To be honest, I haven't had a though so far. Though I found little boring these days, it can be of repetitions. In fact I though of telling you one thing that why don't try one more site simultaneously and it will work very well also. It is only for a change and when I tried, it works well. Remember I have mailed a site mypag..., and last week I was trying both myLot and the other site at the same time. I experimented and it is working well and I just though of asking your opinion. As you were found unwell and busy doing other works also, I don't want to disturb you. What I did: continue with myLot and once one post is completed, change to the other one and comment on the same over there also. The advantage there is we not need to type lengthy posts. One ore 2 sensible sentence is good enough for 1 cent and it works well. The same type of repetition can be minimised and when I did for a week time, I found both are working fine. When I got a blockage of myLot at office, I had to find an alternate substitute somewhat equivalent to it. Now both are smoothly going and I think my systematic plan is working well. Only thing we need a fast net connection as the switching to one site to the other will take some more time. Think it over, can be ok. If you found any ..... I haven't got your contact no. via myLot pm. Is it deleted or missing? Regards, Thank-s

Hi Sumanwu Welcome to mylot. I was quite occupied over the last couple of days and so am delayed in responding to this one. Hope you wouldn't mind. MyLot is a real great place if you want to learn - not only english, but also about different people, their happy moments, their sad moments, their ideas, their views almost everything and if you are looking for money/income, it is there too and MyLot is not a SCAM site it is a 100% LEGIT site. Good Luck to you and your Journey on MyLot... I welcome you with open arms and hope you have a pleasurable stay
