Totally surprised by today’s lack of activity

Naturally Mylot varies on a daily basis, with some days being quiet and some busy. With today being the last day of November I expected many members to be extremely active in order to generate as much as possible before the month expires.
After taking a trip to the city centre earlier that spanned just over 3 hours, I arrived home to find NO notifications. This has undoubtedly been the quietest day I have known, which really makes no sense to me.
I can only assume that people are waiting until tomorrow in order to make a special effort to begin December.

I have been on quite a bit today but yes, it is quiet. Uncomfortably so.

You know I am not. It seems for the last 4 to 5 days there is not a lot of posts that interest me to even bother to read them or comment on them. I see a lot of stuff on the same topics and basically sort of the same discussion just sort of written differently. I have also been a little busy so I haven't come here a lot. But I see now that not so many people are willing to comment on other discussions.
I have also noticed lately that it is basically the same people who write on here day in and day out. I also see the same people who comment too. I know that a lot of people follow me but when you go to look they are basically inactive and don't have a lot of responses or even comments. Plus you look and at times they have tons of discussion but when you check their comments back they don't answer.
I don't understand all of this and I personally leave a ton of comments on other people's work who never bother to answer me back ever. I am sort of getting tired of this one. it seems a little one sided at times and this doesn't seem fair to all of us here on the site.

The practice of not responding to comments has always bewildered me because not only does this entice people to interact with us more, but it also makes a noticeable difference to the earnings.
I have to confess that I do not submit a discussion every day, although I am often online and do participate.

@Asylum This is the same with me. I basically came on now waiting the time out for my last computer to finish the virus scan on it. I have done a lot today and got back a bit ago. I try to interact more than I post. So when I do a lot of interacting and I comment on a lot of stuff like I did yesterday. I cam this morning and saw only 7 notifications. That is telling me that a lot of people refuse to acknowledge I even left them a comment. So who knows. All of us have beat these topics to the ground and still nobody seems to take notice and bother to read or respond to other topics on the site. It is sort of frustrating to do all this and never see anyone respond back.

I am sorry if we disappointed you. LOL I was very active yesterday and today I slept in. No notifications? That is odd. I had like 67 when I came on earlier. Depends on which discussions you have commented on I suppose.

well, that's because people mostly make new post instead of looking for the recent ones to respond to. that's not activity to me

@Letranknight2015 It was quiet all day yesterday for me, which is very rare. Things appear to have improved this morning, so maybe I totally misjudged the idea and people are more interested in a good start for the month.

Maybe I'm still too new to notice but it seemed like business as usual to me, The US long weekend might have affected things a tad, but there were still plenty of active people here and my numbers were as good (or bad) as they always are.

I was busy here yesterday but today I think it is more slow than a snail! Every day I have time to be here it's so quiet. =( Oh well, it happens I guess.

@Bluedoll I was quite surprised to discover that I reached cashout very easily in November and achieved it almost a week early. Back in the old days I used to hit the target every other month, which was perfectly fine by me.
When I returned in September I accrued a little before the month end, which I completed during October. Much to my surprise, November I managed a better amount than the partial month and full month together.

@arthurchappell Be careful not to fall over all those notifications in the process.

@Drosophila Surprisingly enough I have already got 9 comments on this discussion, so maybe everybody else was looking around for something to write on.

I'm here! A little late to the party, but here nonetheless! Now let's get this end of the month chit-chat party going!

@moffittjc Oh yes, your presence is definitely welcomed. I expected yesterday to be busy and maybe quieter today, but it seems to have been the opposite way around.

Personally, I worked both jobs on Monday, so I didn't have much time to be here any part of the day. I'm still quite a bit behind for trying to make the payout, so I wasn't trying to get it by then. Maybe it'll take place this month for me, but we'll see.
I'd have no idea why others weren't around or what they were up to instead.

Many people will have been working and even if someone usually spends a few hours here later they could always have something to do on a specific day. If a certain member was absent for a few days I would not even think about it.
It does seem odd when the majority are absent on the same day, especially if it the last day of the month.

Well, there was no way I would have generated enough to be able to get paid out for November yesterday. My goal is to get paid for December.

I guess some days are busier on here than other days.

I didn't get to spend as much time here as I'd like. Being the last day I did want to add some pennies to my bank

I read a post earlier saying that the site seemed to have gone down for a while I wonder if that had something to do with it?

I was just wondering how much the site fluctuates on a daily basis - it doesn't seem crazily busy to me (as a very new member) but there does look enough on here to keep me going...
