***Welcome to the next generation of Mylot!

New, organic, non gmo, free range, gluten free and more fun than a barrel of internet cat videos!
"What? We get PAID to hangout here now? Yes. This is totally more fun than cat videos."
As I'm sure most of you have already noticed, up in the left hand corner of your screen, next to your avatar, is money. Money which you have already earned over the last couple weeks by participating. No, don't worry, no one else can see that except you. Clicking on your earnings will
bring you to a page where you can see a day by day break down on them. These will be updated roughly every hour.
The new earning algorithm is a work in progress. Expect fluctuations while we tweak and work to perfect things. What will remain constant is that quality posts that encourage quality discussions will earn more. I can't stress this enough.
For the time being, the only earning potential will be in your participation. At the moment, there is no referral system, tasks or search rewards as there was in the past. In time other things may or may not be added, but for the time being, we are going to focus on doing one thing and doing it really well. Paying our members for their quality participation.
As was the case in the past, the earning algorithm will be a proprietary secret. We have no intention of disclosing it and any guess work as to it's function would be futile. Also as in the past, posting your speculation on it will be a guaranteed discussion removal.
Please refer to the updated guidelines, located in the help section. They too are a work in progress but they have been updated at least to reflect the rules on advertising, or rather rules against it. Things will be added as we go. As usual, any suggestions are of course welcome, but we are already aware of what is lacking in them for the most part. If you think we have missed something though, by all means, let us know.
Also in the works is a comprehensive FAQ section. This too will be a work in progress. Please be patient as we put it together, it will be out soon. As usual, I am available for any questions you may have until then (and long after). If I don't have the answer, I will get it. In the mean time, please read through the Earnings Program FAQ, located in the help section.
So, enjoy yourselves, have fun, be nice and create some quality content.

I just want to say a HUGE thank you on behalf of everyone who was here before and missed their old online playground so much. I think that none of us expected this turn of events ever to happen! I hope that whatever you and the other admins have to do to keep it alive this time round will not be too intolerable and that you all have fun too

@Unforgettable_Raja I never had any referral, and I did not discovered it
. You should better follow the recipe given by the (former) Lamb, maybe it works

@Unforgettable_Raja I tried to get referrals. I advertized in a traffic exchange. I don't think that my advertizing page was bad (I was just honestly telling what was myLot for me), but I stopped after 5 or 6000 views, and no referral at all. It is the worst result I ever got with this TE.

I rather not count the cash...it has always been to just catch up, have fun, and if the money rolls, so be it.
But I am always interested in algorithms though....is it to the nth power with complex algebra or triple integration? Pray tell. Hahahaha....

OK, let's be realistic. MyLot is fun...but funner than cat videos? I mean, cat videos? I don't know. That's a pretty big stretch. I haven't yet seen anything cute and cuddly that makes me go "aw" and get the warm fuzzies. I will be sitting here waiting for you to live up to that promise now. ;)
I'm glad to see the earnings system come back. I look forward to seeing if MyLot will become more active now because of it and if some of the old traffic will return.

Wait a minute. Do we get paid only for what others say on our posts? . What about what we say on others' posts. I am confused.Adn what about likes?
I am very active on a site where they pay for our comments we make on others' posts and not for comments we make on our own posts. 
I suppose it will take me a while to know what to do here to get the best results earningwise I mean.

@allknowing - I feel that you should keep posting discussions and your replies and counter-replies without bothering about earnings.

@Unforgettable_Raja I never thought of it that way, but I know on other sites where they update right away I know how much more I need to do to make my goal. Before, I could only guess if I made my goal. I guess it is a preference thing.

@GoAskAlice I have a suggestion. You know that link to "show more comments"? Is there any way to eliminate that? I have scrolled through my posts and my friends and I wonder if I miss someone's reply because I can't see all the comments.

I am one of those who missed the site so much that we are so happy to know the mylot is back. When I saw the post on the other site, I hurriedly came here to check the veracity of the news, and yes, you are back, my home in the internet.

Hi Alice !
We've been waiting for this to come back for a very loong time ! This is after all the site where I made my first online hundred bucks. I would like to see another one. Speaking of which, will we see any of our old earnings or are they done and dusted never to be heard off again (apart from our paypal history) ?
Anyway I am glad to see this back, especially as I have a job that allows me to post at work, and I now have a smartphone which should also allow me to post on the go - the earning potential seams way bigger now than before, with the new technologies available to us.

@GoAskAlice No no, I just meant the history of it, I understod at the time that what was paid was paid back in the day :)

No,any earnings from back then were paid out in a final push to anyone who had close to 5 dollars accumulated. The rest were zeroed out. New earnings only started accumulating a couple weeks ago, when we began testing the code. It wasn't visible to anyone until today though.

Nice!!! I think this is awesome. I am so excited to see the earnings on my screen today. And I love how nice the pages are now. Somewhat wider than before. I am so happy that MyLot came back and I am still trying to get people to comeback. Thanks for this post. Now I think we will see many people come back as well as many new members.

Ummm ... I think that either I read wrong or there is a problem with your earning algorithm, because I am almost positive you said "quality participation" is all that will be paid and yet I see that I have actually earned a fraction of a cent ...

Don't rush in adding more stuff to it, its fine the way it is.
When/If you are confident the the previous thing is working the way it should other things can come along.
But as far as I'm concernedd this is good
I also like the hourly updating; I can see how well I am doing throughout the day.
Hopefully spammers don't make too much work for you guys.

I know that we will not be earning quite the amount that we were before. However, I was wondering if there was a possibility that you would bring back the increment choices. ($10,$20,$50,$100.00)

@GoAskAlice You might also include with that request an option such that people could elect to send their earnings to a charity or worthy cause. This would encourage those members who cannot (legally) receive money by PayPal.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I can certainly put it in as a suggestion.
@Analyst001 In the past you could set the payment threshold above the $10 minimum.
