I'm always surprised this place is still around.

Once in a while I poke my head in here and just sort of blink at it. It's strange to see a forum where you used to spend hours and days and weeks of your time, and realize that it didn't go away when you left it. Especially with the pay aspect of mylot, I honestly didn't expect the place to last all that long, and yet 6 years later here it still is. Most of my online time now is spent of dreamwidth, roleplaying or doing anime fandom stuff, but it's always neat to check back in and see that this place is still here, and apparently still paying?

Haven't been that long here. Wow! 6 years is too long... Glad that you are still checking back even when you spent time doing other things. It just means that you never get tired of this community. I've been here for some months only, but have met some people who are members here for four or five years. And I can see that they are here and still active.

Yes! I used to come here when my kid was just a baby, and he's almost six years old now, so I know it's been that long! It's good to hear that other old people are still around.

Yup, he'll be turning 6 in May anyway. He's been diagnosed with autism and epilepsy, and is having a pretty rough time. He stopped speaking a few years back, so he's nonverbal, but he's such a loving and sweet little guy.

Wow, he is 6 already? How is he doing?

LACANIS MY FRIEND!!!!!!!! I have missed you terribly, and even more so over the last few weeks when I started taking a Creative Writing Poetry class, because I remembered you wrote poetry...How are you? I see you are still into the play acting, but are you still writing poetry? Yes mylot still pays, and depending on how active one is, depends on if he or she receives a payout every month. I am now taking college classes, (as you can see by my poetry class) and so I go back and forth, sometimes I get a monthly payout, and sometimes it is every other month..But the little I get is a help to our finances.. I don't really have much time to go into updating you on my life since we last talked, I still have 3 more weeks of school and so I am not here as often. I hope you stick around or come back in about 3-4 weeks so we can catch up...

Well, I have been in mylot for about 4 years now. I do come here from time to time since I am also quite busy with my job. But yes, it does amaze me to see mylot strong and still paying out. I think for as long as mylot is here, I will continue to be with mylot. Though I may not be that active but I will never forget and will visit mylot when I have the chance to do so. I have learned many things here and have also earn my share of payment. Definitely a great site to be with.

I have come and gone and come and gone. No longer do I spend hours here - I don't have the time as I work three days a week now. Most of the people that were here in the early days have moved on - some happily and others less so. I see most of them elsewhere but it's always nice to see a friendly face back here again. They do still pay, but it now takes me several months to earn what I used to make in two weeks!

Waaah I remember you! We had some of the most fun conversations! I'm really glad to see that you're still around too. I noticed that even before I left, that it was taking longer and longer to earn money. I just checked my payment history and was surprised to remember that there was one month I earned almost $40.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't. I've had some "hiatus" myself but all in all it helps with savings, so I come back, pop my head in and start chattering away for a month or two. We're still here, a lot of the members you may be used to are probably gone, or not as active. Some that I was used to seeing all the time I hardly see anymore.

It does really help, even if it's not a large amount of money. And there are a lot of interesting people around here. I'm sure most of my old group is gone, but I'm sure there are tons of interesting people here too.

The myLot buffet has something for every one - with some variety that one sees every single day. Nothing surprising then that you see oldies here participating unabated. I too hope to stick around.

Hi! I remember when you spent a lot of time here. I hope all is going well with you. I hope you start coming back a little. I am not here much either. I try to get here and answer a few discussions, a few times a week.

Same here! I was here when myLot first started and for almost 2 years I was on here ALL the time. And then I got busy with other stuff but mylot was still important. Slowly, I stopped coming here except for a peek on and off. Yes, it's still paying and now it takes me a year to make payout but I do get it :-)

Although yo umight not remember me, I remember your name in the first place on a certain leaderboard. It is good to see someone come back from the beginning and your topic is a great testimonial for others to read. I have been here almost 5 years myself There is something compelling about myLot. Not the fact that it (still) pays but the friendships that develop. Some go astray but many eventually come back and that makes it like some sort of bus stop for a few and home for others. Good to see you return but I'm sorry to read about the problems that you have with your child

I am too in a way. I started a while ago, probably over 2 years ago and have been coming on somewhat sporadically over the past year. Not as hardcore as I was the first year or so. But it is still around and yes of course still paying, which is even more awesome. It's like THE ONLY stable online earning site online. Or one of the very few. That's what I love it. . HAPPY MYLOTTING!

I am relatively new to mylot. I am really enjoying the site and earning a little money to boot. Isn't it good to know that it is still here for you to visit occasionally? How has it changed since you were first a member? I have read posts from veteran mylotters who say that mylot paid better early on. I have been with mylot several months and have noticed that there were some mylotter who were very active when I first joined. And I see nothing from them now. I always wonder what happened.
