How About Something New To Get People Motivated To Be Here Again

I have noticed lately that MyLot has lost a lot of mylotters. So, I was wondering if the administration at @GoAskAlice could come up with something interesting to bring the lost sheep here again. Any one with a good idea here? Maybe some kind of contest or reward for certain actions taken here? MyLot is a lovely place to be but we need more members to add to the fun of being here. What do you say?

I noticed some do not play well with others. Some actually insult people`s intelligence, hurt their feelings and more, after a while they carry that on their should like a chip and leave. I see some of the same people on other sites, doing the same thing. You cannot be to sensitive and you cannot think you are always right. Usually the person that insulted you will chose to comment on any more of your discussions, they know what they did. Some people can`t handle it. Me? I am a rock. Plus I know where the block button is Mylot is all good with me, make new friends with the people who wants to be here.

@andriaperry true. I witness some too. Me? I do not mind. I am here to make friends and interact, if they do not like me, it is okay. I cannot change them. But I can be friends with others here.

I can't think of anything but more money, and that's not going to happen.

@AmbiePam , I also doubt that the money will come in larger quantities. LOL. But a little contest would be fun. @GoAskAlice

For me it would mean that they would fix the error message that I get several times a day.

I've been getting them again too. Things are taking a long time to load when they DO work. I wonder what's up.

There are newbies once in a while. And what mylot should do is to have every newbie read at first the rules of the site. I never read newbies´ posts now, because most of the times they are against rules.

@rakski That´s why mylot should post over their first post the rules of the site.

@marlina I love myLot, and I know I'm part of the reason there isn't much action. However, I do my best to be here when I can.

I have also noticed that it has slowed down here a bit. Maybe a contest of some type would liven things up.

I still enjoy writing when I want to write. I hope I don't need a "contest" or "write-off" to motivate me.

At the moment I cannot think of anything that would bring people back and after all its summer and most people are out and anywhere except in their houses and so I guess that is one of the problems. Sorry can´t think of a really good idea. Have too many things to do offline right now as well.

A contest might perk things up, but I've no idea what sort.

Not sure what they can do about it. At the end of the day people are either interested to be here or not, and everyone has a different reason for being here.

Motivating discussions are good. But if MyLott is setting games I think it may vary from basic aims .

people keep mentioning in comments about money, money, money. It really takes way to much time to earn a few cents. the focus should be more on the communication / building friends, etc. people go where they want to hang out. they go to facebook not because of the money (there is none) but because of friends. so my suggestion would be... hmm, let me think more on this!

My friend told me about mylot. She was a member here when it was raining $$$. I gave it a try and I guess I'm staying. She said this was her favorite forum site. She is now busy on her job that's why she can't visit us here.
