This discussion is NOT about Bubblews, but about myLot

Like other topics the word beginning with a 'B' is dominating cyberspace. I can tell you that once you've read one you're read them all. Let's talk about this site, myLot instead. This is where the action is, this is where they do as they say, this is where you play by the Guidelines you get paid.
This is where many recently former B'ers will wind up. Remember, the more the merrier....let's welcome them with open typing hands. Let's roll out the red carpet for them.
We talked about spreading the myLot word - now is the time to do it full speed ahead!
Welcome one and all to myLot!

But everyone writing about not writing about Bubblews is still writing about Bubblews. I think it's natural for everyone to feel the need to express their anger and disappointment. I am seeking out all Bubblews posts, and commenting on all of them. I think that the victims need support in this dark hour.

@Marilynda1225 Yes, everyone has to grieve in his or her own way.

Of course it is that's my way of writing about it in a different light.

@rollo1 supporting those who are writing about the fall of Bubblews is a great thing. As much as we saw the hand writing on the wall it's still a bit of a shock to see it shut down today

@AbbyGreenhill people will read what they want to. We can't censor what's a good or bad topic for discussion but you can choose to ignore the posts you don't want to read.

I haven't been on B for so long I wouldn't know a recycled one unless they state it.

@AbbyGreenhill @Susan2015 @AdrienneJenkins @topffer The "recycled" stuff is something that is on the border. If it is your content and not plagiarized from someone else, then I think that it is allowed at least at this point (I don't think it was allowed before, but they are being more flexible with the Guidelines as people are migrating back so as to not discourage users). However, proving that it is your content could be difficult, especially if you do not use the same user name across multiple sites.
I really do not see why people need to recycle old stuff, though. Even if you want to take an idea that you already put somewhere else and express it on here for discussion, you can reword it and add stuff to make it so that it is not copied, and I do not really think it is that difficult. Of course, that is just my opinion.

@Susan2015 It takes time for de-indexing.

I joined three days ago, may e 4, I am glad that I decided to join before Bubblews went down. I feel like I got a head start. I think I'm starting to get it. I do feel a little shaky.

I am very glad so many former "BubbleFriends" have landed here. It seems very stable under the new program, and I hope it stays that way! It's great fun reconnecting, but I think I could do with a little less of that homeless feeling that pops up whenever a site closes or majorly alters its payment plan....

I certainly didn't have a homeless feeling and I didn't come here directly from Bubbs...I left there long ago. I don't think anyone is complaining here about not getting paid.

@Ruby3881 Any site can fail as I've been a member of many that did - I begin to wonder if I broke them LOL.

@AbbyGreenhill What I meant is that it's been fun reconnecting with old friends on a number of different sites, but that fun is often short-lived because the site fails. And then we're left trying to find a new "home" where we can stay in touch, and maybe earn a little money too.
I've heard good things about the new MyLot, and I have a good feeling about being here. I think this is one site that won't fail.

I have been on this new Mylot site and was on the old one and I am seeing many friends that I have had on other sites here too and I am glad. Welcome to all those that are coming from any other site!

Well, since I was never on the other site, I really do not have much to say about it. MyLot, on the other hand, is a wonderful place. I am extremely glad that it is coming back and getting to be more like it was in the past!

@AbbyGreenhill It is better than it was when it stopped paying, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it is better than it was several years ago. It did get bad on here just before it stopped paying, but it was pretty good up until then. Of course, there were disagreements and the like just as with anything in life, but overall I think it was good before.
That being said, there are definitely some things that I like better with this new format, such as the fact that it is much easier to find where others have replied back to our comments/responses.

You're right that we should all move on. Still the first thing I did when I saw the announcement on the B page was to write about it here. I'm sure that's what many others did as well. Once we've let out that one "Ouch!", we can move on and discuss other things.

@AbbyGreenhill Me too. End of 2014, I took a break fully intending to come back and then just never did because the site never fixed all the stuff it said it would. Or I'd go check and it was down --- again.
