Hey there, I had not logged into my lot for quite some time, as I found face book much interesting.Even though I have a very few friends in face book, I find the site interesting, with so many things to do, and today when I logged into mylot, I found that the old magic is missing, (at least for me).
I would like to know about your responses.

Hi Ramesh
I guess sometimes new things gets us excited but after awhile we get bored with it. I used to be an addict in the Mafia War games on FB that I could level up 15 to 25 times a day, but now I just find the game boring.
I know how it is like, sometimes I too don't find any interesting discussions to respond. So what I do is I take a break for a day and hopefully I could see some interesting discussions from the notification in my inbox tomorrow.

I do visit myLot everyday but then I try not to spend too much time here as my time is really limited here. What I do is I try to respond to a few discussions a day and then maybe check to see if anyone has responded to my comments which I will reply back and that's it. Anyway, hope to see you around.

I just feel the opposite of yours because I feel really great here in mylot than facebook. Here in mylot I can earn dollars and I met different kinds of people making comments on my discussion. it's just so amazing being here. :) I don't know why you feel that way, maybe you don't need those earnings for yourself and too tired to respond to great discussions. Cheer up and get on the mood... :)

nurseclare, I can assure you, that you will not be able to earn a lot in mylot. This site is not for earnings and only for some great discussions.You are right, I do not need these earnings and I am in mylot only for the fun of it.
Unfortunately, today there was not a single discussion,which was good enough for me to either comment or respond.

Ramesh just because you were not able to earn a lot here does not mean that others will not do better. Indeed there have been many new users who joined last month and already reached payout by 30th June.
Life is what you nake of it - and so is myLot!

at ramesh: You sound so pessimistic and i hate it. Don't be like that, if you think we can't earn lots of money here just be silent then someone may get discouraged, newbie might read this respond and won't respond anymore. I hope you'll find this place a better one ramesh. I really hope. :)
at mysdianait: You're right, i like the vibes down there. Keep that up.Okay? :)

Ramesh people change. You don't eat the same meals day in day out do you?
In just the same way some people need a break from myLot and find another site which satisfies their needs better for a certain time. Then they often return.
Some of those who return stay on and find it even better than before while others would like tosee it the way it used to be and are disapppointed.
You will no longer see many of the users who were here when you were here. Some (particularly one) of your favourites were banned and some of the others stopped posting after the new rules for Paypal in India but there are many new users here who are now having fun and have brought a breath of fresh air to the discussions.
I wish you luck whereever you decide to spend your time and remember that myLot, when you are fed up and want a change, will always be here.

Thanks for the response Dianna.I did not know that my favourite friend was banned. It is a pity. I do not know the reason for the ban, but I personally feel, that no member should be banned unless he or she abuses any other member by using un parlimentery language or using racial abuse. Just because, some people do not like the discussions which were started by the particular member, one should not be banned.
As you rightly pointed out, it is a change for me, and now I am on to F.B.
Today, I was a tad disappointed, when I logged in and found that there was not much of interesting discussions.That was one of the reason, I started this discussion.
It is not that, I have said good bye to mylot, I will certainly log in, time to time,and certainly will comment and respond to the interesting discussions.

I do not know the reason for them being banned but they certainly abused all of us. Like everyone else, you thought you were talking to a female. Well, hold on to your seat... ... it was a male
It is quieter than usual this week-end and there are probably many reasons. One, it is the beginning of a new month and many Lotters don't post until the end is nearer. They make the istake of rushing towards their payout at the end instead of spreading out their activity over the whole of the month.
Another reason is that it is a celebration week-end in US for the 4th of July. Many might be watching the Wimbledon finals and will be back once they over. Others might just have decided to take the week-end off.
I will be away soon too. I am off to visit my mother for a few hours.

Hello Ramesh,
Meh! I think it is you who lost you're edge in being addicted to mylot. I remmeber being addicted more to facebook online games. most specially the games in my PC like Role playing and strategy games. but I love the site even more when i got to know this place. you have been and always been a respected veteran. i have seen you since i joined here. am sure you will get to love mylot again some day.
For now, i can understand you're love for facebook

Yes Letran, we go a long time back. Even though I do not log into mylot regularly, I use to go through all the discussions which my friends start. Since you are also my friend, I used to see a lot of discussions which has been started by you.If I am right, you start atleast 3 to 4 discussions every day, and I know that you love mylot.
It is not that, I hate mylot, I always like this site, and that is the reason, I started this discussion.
You are right, maybe when I get tired of F.B., I might once again come to mylot and spend a lot of time, as before.

I guess it depends really on who you ask. Personally, I never liked social networking sites unless I am trying to interact with my friends and other acquaintances. I find mylot more entertaining and interesting since they are many members, more interesting and thought-provoking discussions and a lot of interests.
I often spent the whole day looking for and posting discussions that piqued my curiosity.
But it's your opinion and I have mine. I guess in the end,we do what makes us happy and fulfilled.

I agree with what you said. I find mylot much more interesting than facebook, I use facebook to stay in touch with my friends only friends. I like mylot because of information coming from the discussions, and earnings.

I agree that you can learn a lot from mylot,but at the same time, the old magic is gone, and today when I saw the discussions,I was not interested even in a single one of them, that was the reason I started this discussion. I had stopped starting any discussions for a long time, and I usually used to only either respond or comment on a few discussions. Today I was not able to find even a single discussion which was worth commenting or responding.

How did it lose it magic?
You can always make your mind lose it's interest in the things you haven't been using, or the things that you're always using.
I think it's a cool site, you can find answers and original threads every minute.
You can't figure out how many new posts are made each hour, and they may make you feel better or know more about the things happening in World. Or maybe not, it's random, lol.
Forums don't lose their magic unless they've really lose all their community, and this one hasn't.

Hello Ramesh,
How are you?
I was away for one month and when I came back, I felt there is lack of good topics and many members are inactive. Another thing, if I am not regular here then on my return I don’t feel much interest to do mylot. I have to create an interest slowly by responding to my close friends. Once I get back the rhythm then there won’t be any lack of interest. But one thing I agree; now a days many good members are not active in mylot. I hope they will come back soon.

Hi there Sreekala a very good evening to you.
I am quite fine.
Now days I do not find any interesting discussions.That is the reason I started this discussion. You are quite right about the fact, that a lot of good members are not active in mylot.
That is one of the main reason for this stagnation.

The main magic of myLot isnt there for me as well. But the residual sparks are still flying.LOL I mean, sure, Im not that addicted to myLot now as compared to when I was just starting and fresh/new to the site. That is also because my priorities have changed. Back then I only had to think of myself, and how to spend my endless free time. It was great that I have found myLot. I found a great place to be myself, express my thoughts and feelings, and share with real people who have shown genuine care for me over the years.
Then things in my offline world changed, which gave me little or no time to be online anymore. I still do try to visit the place that has been my virtual sanctuary for some years and visit the great people who I have met here. But I stay and participate because of loyalty and dedication to the site and the people. The earnings really dont matter to me anymore. It would take me a some months to just to get to the payout but I just dont mind it, as long as I keep coming back in no matter shape or form. I will be in this site.^_^
That's just me, anyways.

That is a great response bjcyrix. You have mentioned what all I have thought, but was not able to express. I am also in the same wave length as you are. I think you are one of the responders, who have really understood my discussion, and given a very honest response.

I like using facebook, but I still love using mylot. I usually have both open at the same time and switch back and forth between them. Although I like keeping up with my friends and playing the games on facebook... I need the little bit of money and the more simulating conversation that mylot offers. I hope you can refind the charm you have lost with mylot.

Good for you dismalgrin. I am happy to note that you are able to keep a balance between both mylot and fb.

You do have a point, but eventually all things get boring (mostly), to be honnest, i just use facebook for the games and infrequent status updates (1 every week). I lost intrest for FB after a while, coz there wasnt much to do, i explored everything (and because FB is blocked in vietnam and it's a pain in the bum to get on it). Mylot stays quite intresting for me, because all the variety of topics and discussions as well as the ability to blog and do tasks.

It is news to me, that F.B. is banned in Vietnam. Can I know the reason, why it was banned ? The problem with mylot, is the fact that they are not changing with times, and the site has to be dynamic. If they change, there are chances, that they might become the top site in the world wide net.

hello rameshkumaar57,
I am not an old member of MYLOT so can't say if it was good before or now it is good.But i normally visit F.B and other sites also but really don't find anything special than MYLOT. Its matter of choice that you like FB and i like MYLOT.
May be people are busy somewhere thats why you did not find any interesting discussion here or your mood is not good which is not allowing you to show your interest in the discussions.
But for sure if you would have find your old friends here your mood would have been changed and you might be enjoying it like FB.
Does not matter new MYLOTTERS are not that bad you will find the same qualities in new MYLOTTERS too.

I think a lot of people have misunderstood my discussion. I have not mentioned that the new beis are not starting any new discussion.What I had mentioned was, I was not able to find any new discussions worth my while.
In the four years, I have been in this site, I have seen a lot of my good friends, who have completly disappear, and a few, come back after some time.
The fact is I would love to see the new members come up with some very useful and interesting topics.
I am not supporting F.B. and the fact is I do like its founder MarkZukenberg, after seeing the film, social network, I just mentioned the fact, that I have become addicted to the games in F.B.

I joined in mid June and I am just a couple of cents from payout. You don't make money at Facebook but if you have fun at mylot you can earn really fast. I enjoy it. You can be pessimistic about mylot but you won't discourage me. You get out of mylot what you put into it.

This is with reference to your comment in another place regarding the payment. I am quite surprised to not that some people have been making more than $30 a month. $30 is quite a good money, and as you rightly said, it can be paid for the internet charges. As far as I am concerned, I usally make the pay off of $10 once every 3 to 4 months.

I started on my lot a few years ago and after a while i got bored and stopped using i only came back a few months ago and i am enjoying it more than ever before, probably because i am earning much more money than i used to. And i find it much more interesting than facebook due to the better quality of and more interesting discussions.

Well, friend I will say that Mylot never had lost the magic and never it will. I think the reason for this is the money which it offers to the people.
It is a place to learn and earn. If you are interested in earning then you should get the referrals.
Make referrals by convincing the people to join here. Your earning will move fast.Thanks and have a nice day.

Dear Sanjay, I am not in mylot for the money,and you can see that I have got less than 3000 posts in my 4 years of mylotting. I am here for the fun and information as well as to know about the people from other parts of this planet.
For this, you need some good discussions, so that we can respond and comment back, I was just mentioning the fact, that of late, I am not able to find such disucussions.
