June 15, 2011 2:38am CST
Most specially when they are newly here.. Hello Lotters, I've noticed a few new people coming around to mylot lately and a a veteran who just came back (as if any one's aware), and one that is planning to leave, which is sad. How are you people, I've been busy for two straight days. i did not intend to mylot for the purpose of finishing what ever activities i might have left. so that i can go back to mylotting at full time. I know i missed a lot though but i am sure you can fill me with something here, what it is i missed. With newbies coming in and out or come and go. i wonder how far can they go before they go, but i would hope they would stick around this site longer and realize how cool mylot is. Have a Nice day........

Letran every time you go away for a couple of days there are more things happen than just the ones you see There is more than one veteran who came back, more than one who has left (for one reason or another) and MANY interesting new users who have joined and are already having fun and seeing the cents add up. Of course there have also been some who have posted one topic and left too Then there is one who has posted sooooooooo many topics but never got back to discuss who has only just realised that the star affects their earnings and that they will earn if they come and discuss with us by commenting. It's always FUN here and just like a soap for real!

mysd = "Then there is one who has posted sooooooooo many topics..." ONLY ONE? Where have you been? There are dozens of them! At least three have posted over 1000 topics - all crap! I don't blame anyone who wants to leave.

Hello LK missed you in these two days!!! There was nothing special in these two days you should feel like you have missed something in these days. Newbies as usual eager to know how to get fast money on MYLOT & as usual vetrans like myd,HWG,OWLWINGS,hatley giving them the guidance or asking again to read DRS/FAQ. I think 2 mylotters returned back. People like me still being chosy & selecting discussions to respond.

Yes, it would help to have oldsters to help the newbies. I just had a discussion and Mysdianait told me what I needed to know. I appreciated that.

I joined 5 years ago, so I must be a veteran! I took a long break away for awhile but I always come back.. Life just gets so busy, but mylot is one of those places you really don't want to leave forever, well not for me anyway... I too notice some newbies come and go. They give up to easily... There are a few that a giving it a good go and I hope too that they stick around....

Let's hope they do come back, a few of my older friends here have taken a long leave from here too..

Hello pinkylilly, I think you are! otherwise, how can you not be? i guess i should understand those people who couldn't stay awhile. we don't have the same level of interest with each other i think.as long as we can stay here, why not right? i hope those who left would come back. i know some of my friends in mylot had other busy things in life but i hope they do come back.

Hi! Yeah! I've also seen newbies coming in and go just after a few post. I've seen some because they sent me friend requests during the times I was inactive here. And when I came back, I checked their profiles and found out they haven't been logged in for months so I knew they already left. I actually think maybe if I was active when I received their requests, then maybe I could have done something to make them stay. By the way, I'm one of the veterans who just came back. Well, I've been back for already a month I think. But I've been absent for a very long time. It's good to be back. I also know someone who has expressed leaving myLot. It's sad but that's life. Cheers.

Hello secret-bear, Most specially my referrals. some of them comes back and do some active mylotting but some are just totally gone now. I feel sad though they didn't come back. but i was hoping that Aunt D's right that we shouldn't delete our referrals or they might come back some day. who knows what could happen then. i think i have seen you for quite a while now. it's better if you are less active than no active at all.

That is very nice of you to think that way Secretbear. Maybe people wouldn't get discouraged and become inactive if they had someone to talk to and be friends with.

My referrals, too! They came and went just like that. I really wish they do come back.^^ Yes, pointless, I couldn't agree more.^^

Mylot has seen a high rate of members turnover over the years. To be honest people who join merely to make money here will eventually leave cos they find writing a daunting task. It takes like minded people who have the patience and interest in writing to have that strong staying power. In fact I did not realize that I have come to my fifth year now in mylot and still going. I hope many newbies will stay on and enjoy the bonding of friendships that this site offers.

Hello zandi my friend. I think it's a lot easier here for me rather than joining a blog which can take forever for people to give a comment or view on. congratulations for being here in mylot for a very long time. it's nice to have you stick around in this site for too long, i hope you don't leave like all the others.

Yep.. I know I won't get rich here, but I did get excited to see my first 12 cents show up. I hope to stay a long time here, because I am not here primarily for the money. I hope to have lots of fulfilling conversations..not just posts. I hope to really talk to people and to get to know them... that is something you can't do on just any forum.

I am here every day, but my activity might be heavy or light, depending on what I am doing. Now it might slow down again due to my math class starts today.. But there are a couple people who are gone, one who didn't want to go and another who left on their own. It makes me sad really, though the one I am in contact with, the other, I missed giving her my addy before she left.. There are a couple newby's though, that are fun, one considers me her mom.. So, another round of new friends I get learn about..:D

Awww, I am glad we are friends too, I remember when we first met on another mylotters post and we had started to get into it... And now look at us, both probably too busy to get into any debating..LOL This summer, I am only taking one class, but it is math and yes it might be hard and yes this site is fun, because I still haven't signed into my class today.. Actually last quarter I took English along with my math, but it was a hard English..I was told out of the three I had to take, the one I took last quarter was the hardest, maybe that is what you remembered me saying. But good news, I got an "A" in that class, so now all I have to worry about are the three math classes and the 12 credit science I have to take...:)

I think alot of people get pushed to their limit just by being stalked by some members of Mylot. Some come back under a different name and some never come back. Alot of people join here also and never come back. They are missing out.

Hello Steph, Yes, some do come back with a different name. I know i did, i mean, no one even remember my old rebellious name, except to some oldies who knew me way back 2008. i miss those who left mylot or veterans that i never knew and then just post a discussion just to leave this site. i fell sad for them

There are lots of money making site online that are available. Those newbie that register here and not became active are only looking for online jobs. they are about the earnings and not really into the site, learning from it, making friends and earn. it is obvious that they do not read carefully the rules of this site. Or if they had read it, they accepted it but they don't understand or maybe they do not care about it. In time maybe after a week, if they see their earnings are slow they will live the site and so long newbie, byebye. Those who never been active, the clear reason is the earnings. But if they really want to know how they can earn here in Mylot, they can ask the veteran or anyone. They will read the rules, follow it what time and let see what will happen. It all comes first with observation. AGain, if they will not post a quality topic then how can they earn higher.....
• Philippines
17 Jun 11
Yes I think we cannot force them because it is there choice. I hope they will try the site for a month before leaving it. It seems if the earnings are slow, they lost trust already.
• Philippines
16 Jun 11
Hello grecy, i wish they can just be patient with other mylotters and the discussions being posted and replied upon. i don't want to force them. but maybe i should pray for them to be more active instead.if they were my referrals, i would have continued to encourage them to be active more.

So many newbies join and have no idea how Mylot works and you have to work to make money here! So many memebers give up when they realize how hard it is! So many people don't give Mylot a chance! I have learnt the hard way and I am not ever going to give up on being here! Some people should find more about Mylot before they join and if they did maybe more will give it a chance!

Hello bluepacker, It's not that hard compare to other sites out there. it's even harder in mypage5 because it's too damn slow and even if you're 100 percent active, it takes more than two months for it to get the pay out there. . that's why we are around so that people will be helped, most specially the newbies.

I can say going smooth the function here in mylot as you said and other also come and go the other even old and new.. The finest I've seen there are so many newbies here, a little tiring fo welcoming them, sometimes guiding them to read and check you know what I mean.. Some are very lux of creating discussion without checking in the search (discussion) if duplicates so the result is dis-appoint. And you know the next question through discussion.. so that is the normal routine here but still enjoyment are still around to other mylotters...
• Philippines
15 Jun 11
Hello visavis , it's nice to welcome them so that they will feel alright being here. when i was new here, all i got was a freaking warning because of my discussions were violations back then. i enjoy you're discussions but i couldn't respond all the time though. i miss my routine for two days, it was like months already for me

It;s such a shame that some veterans leave mylot. There are times when I envy veteran since they were already on board when mylot first came out. I kept wishing when I joined that I stayed as long as they had. But I'm sure that their reason is valid and are thought out well. As for the newbies, I keep noticing that many are popping up for the last few months. The only thing that concerns me is that some are quitting before actually trying the site. I often see discussion where newbies are so adamant to earn money in a quick time that they slam the site. Nobody said that earning here is a easy. It's like any type of work. You work it and you earn. Kids these days, always going for the instant. Sometimes, I feel that we need to exercise the virtue of patience even more.

Hello jeanne, Well, at least i joined and that's the most important thing. i know some people who had quit right after being here for a couple of days i think. but that's their choice. yeah, i hope the youth can see the wonders of mylot. too bad though, they're not enjoying it the way they used to. i am doing my best to be patient even as a veteran

I think people will get disappointed if they are only here to get paid. I am not here for the money, although I will admit I am pretty stoked about my 12 cents! (I wish I could use a smiling face right now!) I think I will use this site to just enjoy some me time.

WOAH you have 10478 posts!?! thats insane. i just found this site yesterday and made 2 cents so i came back lol. it seems fun atm so im curious too how long i'll be lasting.
• Philippines
16 Jun 11
Hello lukem, don't be intimidated by my number of post. two cents are nothing unless you start being active here a little bit more. that's you're choice if you want to stay here and mylot, sometimes, it takes commitment and patience to remain. fortunately, i've come to love this site that made me stay enough to have this number of post.
• United States
16 Jun 11
There are people here with 10,000 and even 20,000 posts. I saw one person has more than 30,000 posts I think.. she is the first one on the user by ratings.. that's a lot of posts. We can be just like that person and stay active. It's our choice.
• United States
15 Jun 11
Well, I will say that this is one of the most easiest forums I've seen. Some are so boxy and not easy to use.. but this one is really easy to use. I think if people come and then go it might be because they didn't make a lot of earnings or they didn't make personal connections like they had hoped. I don't know how long I will stay, but I hope that I will be here for a long time to come. We will see.
• Philippines
16 Jun 11
Pointless, That's very true, compare to other forums that appear to be friend and easy,but it's not. you should stay here and a lot of people can talked to you if you learn to talk to them first here. it's nice that you get the chance to have them as your friends here. some even got to know them personally.

i letran some newbies stay as they find it helps to read and heed the information and others will not do so and get mad when their discussions are deleted and leave, muttering mylot is just a scam.A veteran mylotter and good friend of mine is leaving forced out ba another mylotter who reported her numerous times for nothing at all.Whoever this person is I do hope they are now ashamed of themselves as my friend never ever broke any rules here and was a real veteran well liked by all.I hate to see veteran mylotters leave this way,its sad and not right that someone did this on purpose to them. I have seen some newbies really getting along great here.
• Philippines
16 Jun 11
Hello Hatley, I do hope that they get to stay here longer though. i hate the fact that people wants to destroy the integrity of mylot and that is something unacceptable to us here. i hate too them leaving but it's their decision. i wish they can come back some day.

Hi LetranKnight25, Am I still consider myself a newbie here? I have been here a year ago and I have noticed many people who join and go, especially my referrals, all with "0" discussion. . They never even want to try how wonderful mylot is, and I believe if they never start they will never found the key of enjoyment in mylot. I believe only people who are fond in writing and willing to share information are more likely to stay in in mylot. For me, it is their lost if they leave mylot and never give it a try.
• Philippines
15 Jun 11
Hello yspmyl, Nope but make sure you follow the guidelines to remain known veteran in the eyes of other people out there. your post number reveals you're no longer in teh newbie stage. some people just give excuses of not being active or getting lazy being mylot for a long while.. it's their lost not ours Have a nice day

Hi Letran I did see the post yesterday of the long time veteran leaving the site and it sadden me to think that the member was leaving. Though I have not been here that long I still got a very good sense as to the many great members that were continually here. It is sad to see anyone go, especially anyone who did not understand the site very well. It is a shame for the misguided new ones that come here with the misconception that they will earn big and get so disappointed that they leave before anyone can give them a chance. As for our friend who left I will always remember the member as I do not have outside contact with the member and will always wish the member well. As for you Letran, I do know that you are quite busy but always seem to find sometime for myLot when you can.

16 Jun 11
Hello hardworkinggurl, I am sad that she has plans to leave, I've known her since i joined mylot. i think the problem was because of a conflict with another mylotter in certain issues. but i hope she doesn't leave. it makes me sad leaving a mylotter behind. ihope i can be active most of the time again.
• Philippines
15 Jun 11
Hey there LetranKnight! I consider myself as someone who goes in and out of mylot because I tend to be become very busy with some of my other activities. I can't go mylotting because I'm very busy with a lot of things. I think that newbies will only last when they finally reach the ten dollar payout. After that, they'll probably no longer be active. That's what the usual thing about new members. Bu then there are times that they really enjoy their stay here. Like me, my initial objective was just to reach the minimum ten dollar payout. But seeing how I enjoy my stay here, from time to time, I post here to vent out my anger, to share my experience, etc. etc. As for those who have been with mylot for so long, maybe for years... I think they have really more important matters to attend to. It can't be helped. Still, there are new members who come and go. have a nice day too!
• Philippines

Hello tecchigurl, well, i noticed that you are either in and out of this site. i have been here for a very long time now and it's good after all these years..actually we all have important matters to attend to. i happened to have experience it once. I am almost there to reach my pay out, but am not sure when it is.maybe two to three days

I come and go to :) but it is because i have tests now, so if i study all day i don't have time to chat here and after a test end i enter to see what is new. I think it is a great thing that there are some new users around, i don't think newbie is such a nice name.. and i believe we should help them to "Acclimatized" here.
• Philippines
15 Jun 11
Hello yoniarnon, If you're a student then i guess it's understandable that you can be active here or not. i want those new ones to be more active here, but not in the accordance of violating but also following the laws here. well, there's no discrimination being called newbie because they have no clue what mylot is all about and we are here to help them become memebrs of a good community.
