Here I am…

A year and a week ago I came back to myLot after a 2-year absence and inactivity.
It was a bit like being a newbie all over again although not quite…
Like myself, many were coming back around that time as we heard the news that myLot reinstated its Payment Program. Some of the earlier members of old myLot remembered me one way or another.
Around the same time, another site that I was active on during my 2-year absence here had problems leading to its end few months later. Many bubblers heard about myLot and they joined. Many of them also recognized me as I’ve always had same username.
As I actively myLotting I also gain many new friends. I can feel the results of my active interactions on here with other myLotters. My earlier discussions would only gain a handful or, top, less than two-handful responses. The attention received from other members on my posts increase as time goes by… And I’m thankful to this site and its members for the opportunity to socialize while still earning through friendly interactions.
I notice something positive since this month… Discussions I posted in August have always made it to the site homepage among the top three on the list. I know, for certain members on here that has always been a regular occurrence every single time they post. But for me who has never seen it happened before, it made me smile to see my own discussion when I went to the site – I felt so good I even did a screen shot of it...
P.S.
It has come to my attention after I posted this discussion that I may have confused and misled my readers by referring to the page pictured as 'homepage'. It is probably more accurate to refer it as the default landing page when one goes to mylot site. It is the page before we log in. Once we sign in, the default page is our notification page and a similar list of discussions can be found by going to our 'Explore' tab then 'Top Rated Discussions'. I apologize for any confusion caused by my discussion.

You joined a month before me. I think you and I were among the last who were clinging on to Bubblews, hoping that it wouldn't crash, weren't we?
I'm so pleased that I found this site due to it being mentioned by Bubblers. Well done on getting increased traffic.

I joined on January 16th, 2012 actually and was very active here until the earning feature was stopped in April 2013. Yes, we sure were - I remember it was like we were in the middle of bubbling when the 'this is it - the end' notice showed up...

I'm lucky if I make the "interesting discussions" page once in awhile!

@LadyDuck Oh, I know you are... And I even remember exactly which one of your bubble it was when I came across your username the first time - it was one of your earlier bubble on chocolate with a very appetizing photo header of some elegant store display for various Swiss chocolate goodies...

Congratulations, sishy! I don't know why your discussions rate so few myLotters reading/liking/responding to them?! The discussions you write that I read are always interesting in one way or another, so that so few visit them is perplexing!
I don't recognize the screenshot you posted. Where is that at? And how would you know if your discussions were ever there or not?
I met you right after I started on myLot... very happy I did, too!

I met you way before then but you just never noticed it...
Oh, you have to be signed out to get to that page... I may have described it wrongly... I understand from what pgn mentioned before, it's a 'default' page when one goes to mylot dot com...

@sishy7 LOL! Yeah, you told me you knew me on Bubbs, but I didn't see you there. I wish I could remember whether you ever talked to me there before I found your bubbles on that site! LOL! I have a feeling that the reason I didn't recognize you is because you did like you do on this site! I wouldn't have had a way to see/meet you if you never spoke to me there!

@sishy7 Speaking of the home page again, how do you find it? When I hit the myLot at the top it just takes me to the same page of notifications I always go to. Is that a page you only see when you are logged out, or is there something in my settings where I chose which page would open?

It is nice to be back in Mylot after a very long time.
I had been not around for 2 years as well. I did not know what comes up to my mind that I suddenly remembered mylot last year. I tried to check if it was still existing, and it was. I tried to type my username and password. Luckily I still remember my information here even though I did not write it down on a notebook. I was really glad that it pays again its members.

@epiffanie I looked it up and you signed up on 15 July 2013... Many members would have either left or became inactive by then so I imagine the site was not as enjoyable as it used to or as it is now. You would have been better off attending other things then and I'm glad you decided to interact more this year...

I think you attract followers because you write well and has a good command of English.
