What made you leave mylot?

It's because they changed their earning algorithm I guess. They used to pay for what we used to type but when they restarted paying they have started paying for the interactions we receive. Also there were many other features like the rating system and star reputation, rewards for the search, tasks which are not there in the new mylot. That may be the reason they have not come back as they didnt like the latest version.

I was not a fan of tasks, but to each their own. Those were my days of myLot addiction, and I was high on interactions

Most of what I wanted to say I already did in JJ's box. Nothing ever made me leave myLot. I was not happy when many left after it stopped paying. Still kept checking for the stubborn friends. Actually, there are four people... as long as they are here, I am not leaving either. One might have left.

I had a closed circle, kind of. If an old lotter joins, I may recognize them by id but otherwise I have no clue which ones didn't return.

I left. But for technical reasons. Just then, myLot changed its layout. The script became too small, and basically, being technologically challenged, I was not happy with the new layout.

I am one of the members who left the mylot and joined back. I had left well before they stopped paying and main reason was I had no more interest in whatever I was doing. In between the management accused me of plagiarism which they reverted later on. I knew that was to develop an interest in me to be more active on the site. I think members loose interest because they do same thing again and again. There is no innovation.

I know you are here for pretty long time and you did not leave the site. Yes, I agree with you that when mylot stopped paying, there was no point continuing. However, during that phase, I used to check discussions and would tell the new mylotters that the site has stopped paying.

I never left mylot , but yes when it stopped paying was not active as i used to be. I like the old version of mylot for sure and the payout used to be ten dollars not five if i remember properly. Then many of the friends left and even i got busy with my job and all, but used to peep in sometimes when i received notifications .

Whenever a paying site stops paying, it suggests some mismanagement, and so people lose trust. That may be one reason some never returned. I was not here when it was a non-paying site so I have no idea. I do know that if the money stops, so do I, DESPITE the fact that I am here mostly for the fun.

When I joined here i was not very active as it seem..I have been absent for few months due to business but I did not consider myself leaving the site.. this site is one of the most positive site I have ever gone.. Not toxic at all, You can report people who you think that doesn't speak well or maybe abusive sometimes.. But I just joined last year so I guess the older mylotters have different feelings towards the new and older version of mylot

Your profile tells that you joined myLot some ten months ago. I understand that your business commitments were more important therefore, you remained absent from the site. You are right that this is one of the best sites to interact and discuss. Everything here is user friendly, simple and appealing. Report option is also there, if you do not find any comment appropriate, you could report, in accordance with the guidelines. It does not matter even if you are comparatively new here. If you write good responses and discussions, others will interact with you.
