Are earnings your only interest here?

If friends remain, I remain.

I left when they stopped paying last time. However it was due to how they made the change - no announcemnet at all and in my opinion a total lask of respect for the Lotters who had been so faithful all those years. I too moved to Bubblews but was never 'at home' there. Iam not here only for the money. I have fun with the maby friends that I have made over the years here and the earnings are a welcome bonus. If they stopped paying again I don't know whether I would stay or not. I would have to face that if it was to happen. It would depend on many factors (one of them being like last time) but it would probably inspire me to open up something else. Not a paid site but a chat room somewhere so that we could all keep in touch.

I never left, but I was not very active after myLot stopped its earning program : quite all old members were no more here, and myLot was invaded by spammers. We were only a handful of old members. I joined Bubblews to stay in contact with friends, but never really liked B. I believe that if it would happen again I would continue to stay here. My activity would depend of who is still active.

The earnings are so small that this alone would not keep me here. I enjoy the interaction with different people from all over the world.

I think as long as my friends stayed I would continue to visit with them.

I have connections here that I had on other sites, and I value their friendship. I miss them when I cant interact with them. The few pennies I make while doing so is just a perk.

I am enjoying the interactions with people that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so on other sites. When MyLot stopped the earnings many years ago, it grew rather quiet in here. My time here was limited. Eventually I stopped completely. GardenGerty told me that they were active again and I took the time to check it out. I found quite a few of my old friends here. I have made many more friendships as a result of returning. Guess I'll stick around.

I like both the people and earnings.

No definitely not. I had stayed even posting now and again when the site had stopped paying. I missed everyone so much my friend. Well happily everyone, well lots old and new came back. I do feel sad when anyone only talks about earnings here, though it is nice, it is sort of false you know? I dunno.

well that depends on if the site will become a grave yard or not..

it's hard to say, I love it here, but I once loved it at bubbles, if money wasnt tight that would change things for sure

The very short clip from "I, Robot" below applies here.

It all depends on who's still here. There are people I haven't seen since Bubblews that I would really like to know how they're doing. I'm glad so many people I've friended and become as it seems part of their lives are here and I can keep track of their whereabouts and give support whenever necessary. I'm praying right now for safe travels for @DianneN who is on her way home to Connecticut I believe, unless that was another member that lives there. I get confused to everyone's exact place of residence when they migrate winter and spring for warmer climbs. Still, I like to know they are safe.

Gaining and spreading knowledge is of more interest than just money.

look all the peop;le who come here are not earning huge sums, a lot of people before had to go where they cou ld make a little money as every little bit helps when you areelderly and paying social sec urity and ssi to a retirement center then only having f or free money a sum like 117 for the whole month to pay for any bills you might have. in order to use our computer and the internet here we have to have cable internet and it has to be paid each month so yes for some of us @Asulum we do need that money but we are also here because we h ave r eal friends here who do not berate us for needing money and for being old too.No money is not my only interst here never was b ut it is one of two my fri ends and my lot and making a little money too.We can h ave even three reasons to be here.

Very few people are here who are not for money but most of them are. I know if mylot again stops paying most of the users will stop posting. I am not here just for money. Money only motivates me to interact otherwise the person who has regular offline job won't spend time here for few cents.

Well, I am a bit guilty of having money interest in mylot. but if there's not much reward involved, then I would be wasting my time writing my experience. specially if i have other things to do, maybe I will still write but not much.

If a whole bunch of people left due to no payment, the place would be deserted and not as fun, so I would probably not write here.

I imagine the site would see many active members leave to try the waters elsewhere if the earnings were to cease. Without the earnings, meager though they may be, there really isn't anything to differentiate this site from other social/discussion sites. I know some of us tried to keep going at PP when it recently stopped paying, but that was different than what happened here before, I think. We knew at PP that eventually the lights will be turned out, the door locked, and that will be the end. myLot continued as a social/discussion site, but with no incentive to make it any more attractive than others like it. I imagine some of those who stuck it out here through the years without the earnings incentive could tell us what it was like then compared to now. I do remember reading posts at the B and PP when this site did start paying again saying the writer was leaving the B or PP to return here because the site was paying again. With luck, we won't have to find out what will happen if the site should cease payments.

I would like to say I would stay, but the truth is I am only 3 days into mylot. Earnings is what brought me here, but the people are very friendly and I have learned from people here are already, so I dunno.
