This past week everytime I get on myLot, this site pops up....cafemom. It seems like it takes forever after I hit the skip and return to mylot tab too. Just when I think the coast is clear and the pop up is away for a while...BAM...there it is.
The more I see it, the more kinda sorta interesting it looks, so I figured I'd ask if anyone here has broke down and joined yet. If you have, what do you think about it? If not..is the pop-up driving you mad? Is it just my computer? I might need to check the pop-up blocker or something if it's not happening to anyone else.

Thus far, I have only gotten it upon logging in, and I just retype mylot into my website space and it doesn't do it again. However, they are kind of annoying adds, and after realizing how long it would take to redirect, I just stuck to retyping the address. But if you're getting it aside from that (ie. replying to a thread) it doesn't work that way.

Hi Jen
Matter a fact got it before I could read your discussion. It is happening only to US members and still not heard if this is a permanent thing and or a glitch of some sort. I have been getting them since last Monday and you can read more here:

Gosh if I have to wait with my high speed I feel sorry for those with low speed and or new members who will get frustrated. There were many complaining about the Eversave log in ones, so I am hoping we find out if it is a glitch and or will always be this way.
No I don't plan on joining either.

I read this discussion back when you first posted it and didnt get a chance to comment on it until now. I was happy then because I was not getting pop ups from cafemom. About two weeks ago they started for me. Ugh it is very annoying. I get a few others. I have a pop up blocker on but these come up anyway.
I actually joined cafemom years and years ago. Back then if you shopped at payless, radio shack, or jcpenny and you used the card they gave you... you would earn points from your purchases and could redeem them on cafemom for gift cards. Soon after I joined and was racking up points like crazy... they decided not to do that program anymore so I quit doing anything on the site.

I haven't got any other ones, but I am still getting cafemom..lol.
So I wonder if they are just trying to re establish themselves or something? There have been a couple of people that say they were previous members. Is it a ptp site too? I see it all the time but I just hit the return to mylot link at the top.

I am a member of cafemom but have not been active in a long time. I used to do my shopping through their portal and redeem the points collected for cool prizes. But they stopped that and I stopped going there. I bet it is a lot different now.

Hey! I spotted that remark, Jen. Which is quite remarkable for a tiger with stripes. :P

I’ve seen it before but it doesn’t pop up for me all the time! I have no idea what it would be like although I like the title! I think if you keep coming across this site, it may well be a sign that you should take a good look at it. It may be worth a try. I may go and check it out myself.

I haven't seen anything about it. I have a popup blocker on my computer so guess that's why. U know me i don't go to any sites but mylot.
