Has MyLot activity slowed down in the last few days? Or am I just writing really boring posts?

I've noticed a sharp decline in activity and earnings over the past few days. I thought things would pick up with the death of "that other site," but exactly the opposite seems to be happening. Or am I just losing my mojo and writing really boring posts? My joyous post from this morning bombed, and my earnings over recent days have dropped to about half of my previous moving average. Is it just me? Or are things slowing down as the Holidays approach?

I had house guest for awhile and not been able to be here much. It will probably slow down until after the holidays.

@slund2041 That makes sense. I'll still be around, except for the Holidays themselves. Not sure if I'll be out of town for Christmas.

I noticed that too. But those who always get good responses are doing fine.

@TheHorse But did you notice those who get many responses continue to do so no matter what. What could be the reason?

@allknowing Maybe some people are just really popular. I'm not sure. I know I have certain people who usually read my posts (and vice versa). But several of them are quiet right now, making me feel "lonely."

@silvermist Maybe someone need to post something really controversial.

My earnings have been down a bit the past two days or so but I figured it was due to the fact that I haven't been able to be here as much as I was at the beginning of the week.

Things are slower for me as well. I thought it was just the fact that I was busy. I hardly earn anything overnight, either.

@countrygirl244 Nah, it ebbs and flows. Get involved in active conversations on your own and others' posts and you'll do fine.

@countrygirl244 I am new too so I am with you. But, I agree with what others have said here. Every site I have every seen slows down around the holidays. I think people just get too busy!

I don't know. Is it because it's Friday? Is it people getting ready for the holiday here? Is it because I was too tired to even read a discussion today let alone type a response? Maybe everyone is tired. I think there are always fluctuations.

Honestly I haven't noticed anything like that. I see the same activity here as I always have. Also, remember, the holidays are upon us now and people are out shopping and busy with preparations. So we cannot all be online all the time. I know people here come from all over the world, but there is always a slow down at some point with every site.

I haven't been around much I am on vacation and I think many of the people who were left on the other site didn't want to come here, I cerainly told them about it.

@TheHorse Some people came but there are others who I have been on the lookout for who I haven't seen.

@BelleStarr There are a handful of good ones who posted so rarely they might not hae heard about this place.

@manuscript122 What Bubblews did was pretty unprofessional. But this site seems much more professional than Bubblews.

@manuscript122 I've only been here about a week. I'm guessing it's just a slump.

Things always slow down as the weekend approaches. I haven't been n here for a couple of days, so I expected to slow down. I'm worried that the larger the site grows, the harder it will be, as everyone scrambles to read new people and miss out on older acquaintances.

I've been less active than usual lately. Discouraged a bit but also just busier in life. I'm here right now, though!

@softbabe44 As in internet network? That would make posting slow, but it wouldn't affect numbers once you got stuff up.

Well I'm missing more, because of the new job. Other people may be taking temp jobs or just preparing for the holidays.

It's as much to do with luck as good management. My traffic has finally started to pick up, thank goodness.
