Unfortunately, if you don't log in for a period of 90 days, your earnings are forfeit. This has always been part of the Terms of Use and you will find it stated in the FAQs: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#21
Nobody stole your money. It will have been redistributed among the active members.

@andyliuzn Goodness! This was posted (and I responded to it) nearly 8 years ago! I thought that I couldn't remember anyone who had had earnings deducted for non-activity in the whole history of myLot. It seems I may have been wrong! I certainly haven't heard of it happening recently!
Welcome back to myLot! You will notice that there have been quite a few changes since you were last here. The interface was completely rebuilt in 2013 (and, for a couple of years, there was no earnings program). The site was re-acquired by the original owners in July 2015, however, and the earnings program was restored (with a completely new algorithm) in August 2015.
The Guidelines, the Earnings Program and the Frequently Asked Questions pages were also completely revised and simplified and the Terms were updated. You will find all of those pages under "Help" in the menu beneath your username. You will find it very helpful to read all of them, especially the Guidelines and the Earnings Program FAQs.

@owlwings Thank you for your reply. I am indeed surprised to get your reply again. Thank you for your sharing about the update for myLot and I am not coming back for the money, I come back to see if I could get more useful opinions for some of my problems in my daily life or work.
Thank you again and wish you all the best.

Hi andy!
No. Someone did not steal your money. They just disappear when you get inactive for a long long time. That's what happened to me, too. I got inactive for a long time and when I came back, all my earnings were gone. I guess that's just natural. So if I get busy on my real life and I expect to be inactive here, I try to log in once in a while just to make sure that my earnings won't disappear.
Welcome back!

Thank you, and I haven't logged in mylot for more than 10 years this time, and just came back today to check again and find your reply to me. Thank you for your kind answer.

I think it is a good rule that reminds us of our commitment to the community. As someone said it is important we log in at least once a while and see what is happening.
