Well my profile says I joined 7 years ago but I haven't spent a lot of time here so I don't really remember. I take long breaks but when I come back I really love it here so I'm sure I enjoyed it to start with.

@Hannihar It sounds a long time but I haven't spent a lot of time here and I only ever cashed out once in all that time!

I don't spend much time here so I can't remember.I open mylot in holidays or when I am free in the day but when I interact here I feel so good but when I have joined here the layout was different and also that share option of pinterest is added in new layout.

I had been on a different site that was similar - but it had closed. And I really missed writing these type of post/reading other's posts.
Happily I remained friends with @teamfreak16 - so I asked him if he knew of anything similar to the other site we were on and he pointed me here.
I looked at it once maybe but didn't have time that day and the item of "check out teamfreak's writing site" stayed on my "to do list" for a long time. Months.
Then I looked at it again and thought - why not?
Jumped right in. Love it.

@Hannihar I enjoyed it from the start - quite a few writers who used to be on Bubblews came here so it was like a family reunion with lots of new friends too

How long have you been here Alfredo? How long did it take you to feel comfortable here?

I had been part of another site that went belly up, so I was used to blogging. I know I checked out the terms of use and faq's before I did anything, and then I wrote my first post, jumping right in, basically picking up where I left off from the other site.

When I first joined a writing site before I feel nervous because I don't know how to deal with people, are they going to mock me or insult me because I know I am not a good writer.
Then that writing site was gone.
When a friend introduces me here in myLot, of course, I am still nervous that time but not that hesitant to expose my thoughts. I am still thanking for that one friend.

Wow, that was a while ago! I have a poor memory but know that I had had many good discussions in the early years and it continues.

I was on Bubblews and when it closed I had no idea where my friends went and one sent me a message saying to join Mylot. I have been here since that day. The website was all I needed, a chance to write and to converse with my old friends.
