That is right. The majority of users on myLot are here because they think that they are going to make soooooo much money. The do not understand that no matter how much they post it will not help.
This is a place to meet new people and maybe get some stuff off the brain that you need to vent or need some feedback.
Good Luck making some friends :-)

I like the site. It gives me a chance to vent and get some feed back to some of the things that I think about. With such a variety of people you can get some real good feed back. The money is a plus. But not the main reason I check in everyday.

I agree, I am just looking for some decent online conversation while I'm at work in between answering the phone. Not trying to up my hourly wage, but some people here are only about the cash and they should really tone it down a little.

I don't see how a person can make this site an hourly wage. But I do enjoy some of the conversations too. :) I do it for both...to save up pennies in hope to one day buy the lens I want for my camera AND to meet and talk to people. Otherwise, I would feel really lonely all the time. At least here, there is somewhat of a connection.

I'm confused. You say that you were asking people about money, so they responded to you like a co-worker rather than a friend, and then you're complaining that most people are here for the money only?
If you want friends and social interaction, then I recommend you stay away from asking people about their earnings. You're contradicting yourself.

I was wondering that too. Why would anyone want to talk about their earnings anyway? You think that total strangers are going to tell you exacty how much you are going to earn here? Not a chance... at least not from this total stranger. Shoot, I won't even tell my real friends as it is none of their business.

I am here for both reasons. Meeting people and making a little extra cash. We should abuse the system though. Also, it would be nice to see people take their time and write posts that can acutally be read.

Hi Dig,
Yes I do feel that the atmosphere here is quite stale. Most members are not friendly. I'm also a newbie here. Quite lost. Unlike at many other sites, the members are very helpful, friendly and not to mention very FUN to get along with.
I hope to see some changes in our myLotians attitude soon.
SMILE:D

I have ben a member for quite a while now and must say the only thing that keeps me coming back is the potential to earn some extra cash. I have yet to make one proper online friend on here, that is not to say I do not want to.

Really people are hear to make money,then they are here to make friends the more friends you have on mylot the more money you will make. Just watch with the english thing as mylot say that everyone on here needs to be able to speak english but your english is not as bad as others i have heard.

Hi DigWeed, yes unfortunately most people on MyLot joinned to make a quick buck, but that IS NOT what the forum is all about. Its about helping with advice. You will also find people on here that spams everybodies posts with one-word answers and copied text that is not relevant to the topic....just to make the post, get the credit and get paid for it.
The best you can do is rate the replies to your posts by clinking on the +, - or ! (to report abbuse).

Are you sure people were being rude to you? When you ask a question people will expalain things to you, they are probably trying to help you understand than being mean to you. What was said that you took the responses so badley? I think regardless you should let it go, chances are they mean well anyway.

I can see that from your already improved english.I agree that this place has become one that is not for friends but for people who want to make money quickly to add to their income using the internet which otherwise is rather useless.

Well to be honest earlair i was using yahoo answers. I liked the questions and it was a pleasure answering them.
I found some one there referring this site.
Its better here because u get paid what u type here as well as you can have the same fun with meeting new people here. I have made so many friends here in no time.
I want to have a good time here. The money which i get here cannot be my primary earning, and iam sure you dont look at it as your main income. So i think its not good in stressing in the money offered. Just have a gala time here and get some extra bucks here.
Cheers,
Tutul

I think 95 percent of the guys here are ONLY for money and the others are for money plus making friends and having some fun..this site will surely help us to improve our english Q(english not being my mother tongue)
