Thank you Bubblews

Hi myLotters and former fellow bubblers The title of this post will probably draw different reactions from former bubblers. Many of them are still angry because of Bubblew management's lack of integrity and openness towards their members. Like many ex.bubblers, I left long before that site formally close because of non-payment issues. Why the title you might ask? I'm partial to the "half full" attitude in the often quoted expression "Is the glass half full or half empty?" Although a cynic might protest Bubblews drinking the other half which rightfully belong to them. :) So thank you Bubblews for: Giving me my first experience of being paid for writing. It has open up possibilities which I never considered before. This is also my introductory post in myLot where I hope to renew old acquaintance with fellow bubblers and make new ones with myLotters. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hello Josie, welcome aboard. The Admin of this site is the opposite of the one we knew on Bubblews. He listens, he is active and he replies to the questions. I hope you will have fun here.

@josie_ I agree, surely their ego grew even more that their site.

I think Bubblews grew too fast too soon for the Bubblews admin to handle. I'm speaking of their ego which grew in proportion to the site's growth.

hello @josie_ This is one reason why I'm thankful to bubblews. I wasn't spending much on my earnings, this is the result. but before this new laptop back in 2014, I bought my first sandugo shoes which i though was for running. So, with that I am also thankful to the site.

Thank you. I certainly hope myLot will be different from Bubblews expecially where credibility and openness is concern. But I believe I will quickly settle in and be at home with the warm and friendliness here in myLot

@josie_ I enjoyed Bubblews when I was, earning from that site, but it had gotten hard for me, to come up with things, to write on that web site.

Hi Josie, it's good to see you here, it's a great site and I'm sure you will enjoy it. I am one of those who are grateful to Bubblews, I loved it there and made so many good friends (lots of them are here). I don't believe they intentionally cheated people, it was just that weren't very experienced in running a business.

@josie_ I started to become inactive back there even before problems were starting to appear. I was busy with work then by April last year, I found out I was pregnant. My firt trimester is always the hardest and that's why I completely disappeared. I only recently found out that Bubblews is no more.

It's good to see you too I left bubblews earlier than you did although I would drop by occasionally to read articles posted by still active members. Some may argue that Bubblews admin had good intentions but the site grew too fast for them to handle the logistics But I believe the rules set forth at the very start became the reason for the site's self-destruction.

Hi Josie, welcome to mylot! I still remember your profile picture. I was from Bubblews as well. Though I had a few unpaid payments, I did earn quite a decent amount of money from Bubblews when it was still running good. I haven't make so much money online before and even until now. Moreover, I have really learned a lot or know many people from there as well. So, I am still thankful for Bubblews, though it didn't turn out to be good at last. I am so happy to see many ex-bubblers coming over to mylot. Here, we can start interacting and having fun again! Hope you'll enjoy your time here!

Wow! $4000 out of $4400 wasn't a bad trade off. Unfortunately many bubblers were not so lucky.

@Yar_Joey I agree although I had second thoughts since the little boy (my grandson Zac) in the photo has grown up quite a bit. The deciding factor was because I also have become older and newer photos of me are not as flattering as the Bubblews avatar photo.
