When I check on old posts, many times I am shocked at the types of discussions they had then. They were not as interesting as they are now, there were a lot of recipes that sounded like copy-paste to me (now banned) and some posts were scarcelly one line.
I feel proud that we have grown up as a site and as such, we can guess the this site is here to stay.
Do you feel as I do too? Have you checked on old posts and seen this? Do you feel that changes have been for the better? Share!

Hi marguicha yes I think we are doing better now. I have looked back at some of my old discussions and to me they did not seem of the same quality as ones I have made now . I think when I first came here I was too hurried and into counting posts which really defeated
my desire to make some earnings. so when I relaxed and quit counting anything and just began enjoying myself I tripled my earnings. I have only been here four years as I was out for 11 months. but I have seen that we are making better and more interesting discussions now than in the first year I was here.I think that with some of the new rules mylot instigated over the past several years we are really making much more interesting and better discussions too.
so heres to many more years for our great Mylot.

I am happy for this too, Hatley. I feel that I have a great family here and I think most of it is due to the good and interesting posts we read which make us learn and have fun.

After reading what you had mentioned here, i searched back those very old discussions and found there are indeed some improvements now in Mylot. Those old discussions seems not many of them sounds interesting since the responders mostly replied with only 1 line answer. Now, i had seen that we are making much better and more interesting discussions. In fact, i think after Mylot had implemented some new rules, members started to learn contributing more quality and interesting discussions in here. I am also happy to be able to make many new friends after had been in Mylot for 3 years. Not forgetting, i had learned a lot through Mylot, too.

I agree with you. Not only about more interesting discussions, but that the new rules have helped a lot to make us do our best. I, too, have learned a lot here. My new friends from all over the wrld make me want to check maps of the world, new food, different customs.

At one point the discussions on the 'no responses' tab were reversed, oldest to newest. There were some incredibly silly ones. "Where do I find a job doing x" and that sort of thing. Yep, the site has definitely evolved, some for the better and some not. The "not" is that some of my favorite people don't come here any more...

Yep, there are always new people coming along, and some of them really add something good to the site, and even become friends.

I´m soory to hear that Dawn. Losing a friend, whatever the way, is painful. But some mylotters come back.
As for the good part, if the posts are interesting, you can get new friends.

i agree with you margz. for four years of being a member, i see a lot of improvement with the way members are posting. i see less one liners now and even plagiarism is not too noticeable these days.

I agree with you, neildc. Some of the old discussions would not be worth a single answer nowadays

Well I don't really check up on my old discussions but I certainly feel that the standard here has improved a lot. Mylot is changing with time and sometimes I feel it's kind of futuristic. One example is that when it's earnings day, the logo changes color, I feel that's interesting! But overall, Mylot is improving and becoming better and I also hope that more people will join this fun site.

The discussions are more interesting because the subjects appeal to people from all over the world. The good mylotters care less about the money and more about the exchange of information now. I´m sure the site is getting bigger day by day.

Hi marguicha!
Sorry for my delay response as I was away for 2 1/2 weeks and with no internet connection in Arkansas.
I can only speak of a bit over a year as that is how long I have been a member here. I have noticed things a bit different from my earlier days and I find a lot of positive changes from then to now. Maybe it has to do with our new GAA, not sure as I did not have any interactions with Alice.
At any rate yes I find a lot of the discussions interests have improved from my earlier days and some not so slack like before.

I check sometimes old discussions with similar subjects, hoping to get other views. Most of the time, I discover that we are doing so much better now, that it´s not worth the trouble to read them. I´m referring to some posts made 4 years ago. They were mainly one liners, with nothing really interesting.
What did you do in Arkansas? Tell us.

I can only agree with you on that. I am shock too, it sure look like many of the discussions are fresh from copy-paste technique, obviously it is widely practiced here. Some members can post twenty discussion in a row in just a day, it is so cool!! Not many interesting discussion around lately, it is mainly repeat topic.

I just don´t bother with the members who post 20 discussions on a day. Noone can make 20 interesting and different posts without copying them from some place. But there are god discussion if you check. I have some wonderful friends here and we share interesting things.

I haven’t looked up at old posts for a while and I may do that now because it would be fun to read what members here posted back then. I do agree that the quality of the discussions has improved and MyLot admin are a stricter when it comes to breaking the rules which is good to see. I still enjoy it here a lot.

Sometimes, whn I answer apost, I check on posts made about similar subjects. They are at th right side of the page. That´s how I have seen the changes. We are doing a lot better now

I've never gone back to check, but that a really interesting observation. Do you think that the many friendships that have formed here is partly a reason? Or, do you think that the fact that myLot has been around for a while, that people are just more confident that time spent is worth it?

I think all has to do with it. But mylot has more rules than it did before, so people do not post 1 line discussions anymore unless they don´t want a rsponse.
But having friends from all over the world makes us want to learn more and then our responses are better too.

Yes friend I noticed it mylot is day by day increasing good quality post and interesting post because here all members are getting new experience. When I see my old discussion in which my English is very poor and topic is also not interested and responses is also not received more. But I am trying to improve my English and I hope I will success in it. I not like my old post discussion but now I like my new post discussion such as I covered 25% news discussion which latest and recent news. like 16 pounds baby, 34 fingers born baby, new decision in mumbai attack etc.

The discussions are more intersting because the subjects appeal to people from all over the world. It seems that before, it was just a sort of copy-paste to earn some cents. Now, the god mylotters care less about the money and more about the exchange of information.

I'm new if I would compare myself with you friend so my basis of comparison is limited as such, well if that's your observation and indeed quality of posts have upgraded then I should be happy for all of us, and we all should be happy,. Anything improves with age and experience? It could also be good filtering throughout the years, who knows

I am an old member, but did not start at the beginning. And sometimes I check posts about the subject I´m interested in, and can see that the posts made 4 or 5 years ago are very poor as compared to what we do now. Those posts, if written today, would not merit a single answer. We have grown!

I agree that if we post good discussions, more members will come and the old ones will stay. I came a long time ago to check and now I´m addicted to it.

I am new to mylot and i have not checked the old discussions yet. I think copy paste is not allowed now or to the new members.
I have read some of the topics now and you are right, they are kinda interesting. I hope i could also earn from this site like you guys have. ;-)

THe topics now are a lot better than they used to be 4 years ago. Now administration has tougher rules and that makes us do our best.

I don't really know about that coz I have been here merely for 5 months now. But I can say that there are many interesting and eye catching discussions popping here day by day. It's simply wonderful getting to share what's inside the head
