Where Is Everybody? :-(

Been here off and on all night. Kinda bored. Just went to make me a fried egg sandwich and now it's falling apart while I'm trying to eat it one handed. Anyway, I've noticed less traffic the past week, probably because of notifiers being off in the ether.

I feel like there are some days on myLot that are slower than others. For me it seems that the past few days have been pretty slow and my discussions will only get a couple responses. It seems that the weekends have the most activity, probably because everyone is off from work. It's a bit disappointing for me when I'm home and I want to myLot and there's not a lot of people responding to me or starting discussions I can answer.

Janey, I think it has to do with all the people not getting notifiers. I have had a busy few days, but for the last two I have had tons of discussions friends started, they just do not come to my inbox, I have to go looking for the site and then the friends started tab. I only work part time, but some of those parts exhaust me and keep me away. So do other more fun things. I am still lurking around here though. You will see me. Have I missed some discussions by you?

Yes, you are right that now a days less responses are coming. People are apparently busy.

Well it doesn't help that e-mail notifiers aren't working. A lot of people rely on their notifiers...

Hey, we are here...))

Well personally I think a lot of it is we do not have the amount of people active here like we used to have, and that really makes a difference for sure. I also know a lot of us have other lives besides being here all the time, but this is still a Great place to be. I know there are a lot of people missing in action due to various things and it is Sad, but I am glad to still be here when I can.

Aside from people moving on or just getting busier with more important stuff, I believe mylot is also affected by trending phase. There are times when this community would be so alive while there are dry seasons as well. It is probably normal and understandable. I do miss the old times, too. The times when discussions would be responded with seriousness, criticism, and even just plain jokes just for the laughs. Eventually, and I hope I'm right in saying this, some members would soon emerge to be these type of people and help keep this community alive again. Good old days!

I guess those public toilets where much cleaner then.

Heehe...everybody is here nobody in public toilet everyone is using their own private toilet. I remember the discussion about public toilet. I respond on it in funny way. I also remember old days when I mostly started funny discussion like talking from toilet, non stop talking, mylot picnic, my husband has girl friend etc. I got lots of funny responses more and more conversations there everyone is enjoying. But now those days never came back. I cant start any funny discussion.

I have seen nothing of a few mylot friends for quite some time.No doubt they have been away from here for one reason or another.Maybe there are some more attractive sites that divert their interest from starting discussions here on mylot.

Over a hundred responses was really amazing. My highest was around sixty. I guess some are busy in some other aspects of their lives but there are still some who come once in awhile and trying to be active here.

This no notifications glitch is not helping either, isn't it? Many are depending on them to start responding and commenting here. Without them, many cannot be bothered to dig discussions manually any more than what they are used to when notifications are available.

I think because myLot is so diversified now with so many people that everything gets spread out? That's my theory any way in why there aren't 100 responses on topics lately.

I'm guilty of not having responded to or generated a discussion here on Mylot for over 3 years... Oddly, I once asked the same question a few years ago. It seems that my answers came from observing my own lifestyle changes and how they affected my online habits. I have turned 60, lost and found work and romance, made money on other sites, started a few new writing efforts and changed residences a few times. Living organisms are the soul and machinery of social sites like Mylot. We Humans are very much in motion and change is truly the order of the day. I am very glad that Mylot is still active (and paying) it's loyal participants. That I can find readers for my 6 year old articles is an amazing joy to me. I hope that my own participation will increase on Mylot once again. I am still promoting my links and trying to introduce Mylot to more newcomers. We Mylotters can be very proud that we are still viable and remain among the very first few sites that actively PAID it's members for their efforts. My Blessings Abound!

yes i know what u mean!!! i joined in 2006 and now i started again but i see that all the great people are gone!now all i see responses for money! this is such a pitty! back then all of us where friends , helping out each other and stuff now all i see is responses with now flavor in it! well, maybe one day it will became what it use to be!

Aw, we still loves ya, Janey. So, been to any public toilets lately?

We don't hate you. We're still here Janey. I have been on and off of Mylot for the past 3 years and I should say that this year has been indeed so not as good as when I first came here. I don't know what happened to the others and I also don't know why it went quite all of a sudden. This may be because we have experienced so many glitches and issues this year alone. I do hope everything gets back to how it used to be.

every body is became busy with their routine jobs... even thought my lot is a good place to meet...

Yeeah i had been through the same where it seems only I am the one here in mylot and others are sleeping. this is because of the time difference of course and the availability of time to the busy mylotters. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead
