Sites like Bubblews and iwriter are paying more. So it is hard to tell the members, that if money is your objective spend more time there. After all earnings here are not comparable, and will never be. Those who need to earn will now be able to concentrate on earnings instead of fooling around ...
Its like mommy and daddy telling...we supported you so far, and we will be around in future to guide you...however, you gotta go out there and earn for yourself.
How true...
But I love you all myLotters. I am going to stay...myLot will have to send their entire US Army to get me out of here..
Hope you will also be around.

Actually when i was new i started with blue star then i encountered a bunch of idiots and my rating went from 96 to 85 in two days.Then in like four months i got red star like yours, and then in my comeback to Mylot due to kind people like yourself and others i got blue star back.Its an emotional journey of sucess,it doenst matter now, but still dont rate me negative

You know me well, I am not here for money, god has given me enough i get 10$ in 3 months or more, this comes to 5 rupees per day, kalyani buys vegetables worth 100 to 150 daily.
I will be here may be less visits.

You can surely count on me Vandana. I will always be here on mylot because earning was not the issue for me when I joined mylot.

Neither would I! But I will come here occasionally just to get help/ suggestion/ answers from mylot.

I have to disagree with you on the following observation of mine.
In the first place Bubblews or iWriter and mylot are in different leagues on many aspect. Mylot is a site which pays its members to post discussion or in other words a paid forum site which by far does not even have followers.
I can understand if mylot wants to gain ground as far as quality is concern but this change of it becoming some other non paid forum site and molding it after some social networking site, is I would say the work of a nit twit. It is simply pariah and don't know where they get this ideology that they'd become another "Suckerburg" from another Valley.
I felt that mylot could do more than being so unimaginative, silly, insensitive and a headless follower of sorts. I am sure some of the members including yourself here would have a better idea on how mylot could progress where I could even dare to bet my last dollar on all of you than that nit in mylot.

Hi Vandana
Most of those comparisons of new MyLot seem to tell, that it is going to be a FB kind of thing or even maybe a simple forum. Doesnt matter as of now. But definitely, if I see a lot of spam, referral links being served to me and everytime I have to use their blocking options (as was suggested on the post from Admin) I guess, I will quit. Again, I would be happy to leave this place in case there are no more "Discussions". Of late, I have felt that the current MyLot has become a blog site for many where they can post anything which are nowhere near to the term - Discussion. I am waiting for the new version and I believe things would become clearer by the next few weeks as they have said the new version arrives this week.
And if I leave, I know I will miss many of my friends but I have the contact details of a few of them. and I might also plan out something similar to the older MyLot which we all have loved so far...

Count me in...FULL TIME...BIG TIME, my dear Brother! My heart hurt sooooooo badly yesterday, with the thought of the exodus of the greatest family, the world could offer.
How do I outbid my dear Kala...for membership #1?????

Hi Sid,
I don't think the new look is appreciated by anyone over here. People are really disappointed and I scare many will get out from here since the grip and magnetic attraction is vanished for ever. Earlier, myLot had an identity and was stand along among other sites mainly because of their look and specific design and flow of things.
Here now, there is no helpline, earning index, proper discussion patters and many more. Do you think the present changes will encourage people and they will be active?

Vandy....I must admit that I have very mixed emotions, an old dog does not like new tricks...
I feel today, I will hold a "memorial service" for the old myLot, and move on with the new one, as I do NOT want to lose all of you precious jewels as friends, so will be here to react and respond.
Losing the money hurts, as I, like others, used it to pay down my Internet bill, so I will just have to work harder. And I am in the retirement days of my life! I did not join myLot for money, I was brand new to the internet, as I live quite an isolated life. It was very nice to have the added "meager" income, and I almost became reliant on it....but so be it, move on!
You are one of the very special persons this site allowed me to meet, and truly enjoy, and I can't break that bond...so I will be here, with many HUGZ for you, too!

Don't agree with you right now. We'll see. I'm hanging about until the new site and see what happens but I've already got alternative places to spend my time and not for money. Don't like how administration went about the whole thing...insulting and then patronizing us. Since you are stubborn and won't budge...I will stop by from time to time to harrass you. Alot of us are on the Mylot refugee camp now. You should consider it. {{{hugs}}}

@vandana7 Brownie...it is really not the money so I wish y ou all would stop saying that. Admin. was extremely insulting and rude. To be perfectly honest....the alterntive site that I joined does not pay us. I just am not ok with the disrespect. apparently you are?? Maybe you missed it but I am done tired of being double insulted by those that think I'm leaving just for the money which was what...pennies???

Blonds take time to get the logics. I have all the patience in the world reserved exclusively for the blonds.
I guess they have their reasons but ...I do think they should not be changing this color scheme, but they are...that is rotten...for that I wish there was a mike tyson glove in myLot code and I would give it to the admin...
I think we should have a say in at least myLot's appearance..our votes should matter. Dont you think?
And you can turn to bubblews if money is the concern...you can earn faster and still return to myLot to be troubled by me. :)

Oh dear...not meant to insult you ...really sorry...I said IF...if it is not...cool...but I hate this appearance...GAA told me script wont go smaller it has gone smaller, white has become dull and bubblews blues are here...yuck...I hate facebook type of layout...and mylot has done exactly that...WE WERE SO ORIGINAL...we could have gone slow and steady till facebookers got bored and turned towards our site..
There is no logout...what sort of crap is this...feel like crying when I look at this...and I cant see any of those codes...I sent a few messages before to a few friends, I guess, I will never be able to PM again...I am the one who is feeling like leaving myLot right now...hugs sweetie...once again sorry...not meant that way...

I feel so confused now...money was not my primary reason for mylotting, but I'm new here...just a month or two, I think. I can't remember. That means I don't even have any close friendships to talk about. So now I don't know what to do....

@vandana7 Is there no way to send friend requests in the new mylot? I wish I could meet new friends here. I think that's one reason why I think I'm staying...I think I'm staying. I can't stop myself from logging in every now and then. But I guess that's because the new mylot has just been launched. I don't know in the future though...

That's one way to look at it :) I consider this as an opportunity to focus more on the other sites as well to increase my online earnings. However, there are members who solely rely on myLot for their income earnings. Now, they have to look at other sites to augment that needs.

i've never looked at the new mylot change in this point of view. you're right, vandana. those who are here solely for the money will go elsewhere. i logged in daily primarily for the joy of learning the different perspectives of people from all over the world. the cents piling up is my secondary motivation.
i will still be here to check how it goes but i don't think i'll participate as often as i am doing now. i'll just read the discussions.

I was initially. Not the discussion part. The task part. :) But then things improved, and so I stopped visiting that section. :)

I'm here a few minutes a day but I need to earn what I can. I'm at bubbles most of my time now. I check in mylot when I get notified though.
