Over 85000 members at Mylot, but how accurate is this figure?

I have been wondering about this myself. I believe that the 5000 is probably closer to the real figure of active users. But I have seen at least 1 user admittedly post from more than one account. I know when I look at top discussions page I always see the the same names there so where are these 85,600 users?

Nah i don,t Think This Much Ever Come Online at Once. Or I Would Have Atleast Got 10 Replies in Every of my Topics or I Wouldn,t Have as They May Also Start Posting and My opic Would be Pushed to The Last Page.

well, as far as i know the 85,000 is the total number who have ever been here on mylot, it is not those who are currently active. However, i also question how many of those of us who are still active on mylot reach minimum payment each month? cant imagine it is actually very many. True i think the real figure of active members will be something like 10 percent of the number shown, but of course , only mylot know for sure blessed be

i also agree with u. are there really 85000 active members? if not so, then mylot moderators should delete profiles after a certain period of time. I have seen many people have 0 ratings also. that menas they have just registered but are not active.

You are right that the figures shown here are not accurate. I believe that there are only 3 to 4000 active members here in mylot. Rest are just inactive and do not post any discussions, they are just figures showing total number of registrations. It would be good if mylot deletes account of members who remain inactive for consistently 3 months.

I am almost willing to bet that we have about 1000 active members only. Take a look at the last second myLot discussion. The last I saw, it attracted about 400 responses. Most people jump onto the bandwagon and response to the discussion posted by myLot but which myLot probably couldn't care about. I am giving some leeway as there will be people like me who won't post. So how does 1000 sounds? Alright, let's give it A LOT more breathing space. 5000 sounds better? That would be about 5% of the entire population who are active. :P

I would have to agree with you that the number of members is not accurate as I know at least two people in my friends list do not come on here anymore but their profiles are still there. If the members actually cancelled their membership here and got deleted it would reflect but I think most people just abandon the site and leave their information here. It is also true that some members have multiple accounts which adds to the misleading figure of members.

Yes I agree with you there Asylum I alone have 6 in my Referrals that have nver posted also the deleted Members are still in that figure to so I don't think that the Figure is acurate

Yeah.I haev 3 referalls and they are all inactive. 2 of them put one discussion of their own up but that´s it and I am sure that they would not mind beeing removed. Maybe mylot lieks the big numners though and I am sure that some of us are posting more than 10 people in a week *lol*

Interesting thought. I know that I have one referral that joined and then never logged in again. There is no way I can even contact this person and encourage them to join in, as they have to be on my friends list to be able to contact them using the system here. So...they are part of the number, but have never been here. I suspect the number of members that are actually active would be quite different from the total shown.

It is true that mylot has + 85000 members. But when you enter users by location, you will find that 50% are just have logged on and not turned again. 25% get bored within a week and leave. Only 25% of total population are active here. Taking part in discussions. This is because of sending referrals without knowing the person's ability. We just send message to each and everyone. If we are sending message we should clear cut inform to that member about benefits of joining mylot. But just we send our referral and request to join. So this rush is there. Actual number of daily users is very less here.

Actually, they did have a clean-out about 6 weeks ago. The number was 73,500, give or take a few hundred, and it dropped overnight to about 70,000. There is an option to delete the account, you have to message MyLot and ask for it.

I agree with you there. There are so many members who just do not post anymore. I have one referral. He did three posts and then gave up. So far he hasn't been back. I know there are members who create more than one account which is fraudulent to say the least and there are, as you say, those who joined and never made a single post or response. I think I'd say altogether that there are probably no more than 10,000 active members. I see the same people posting discussions and responses all the time, with a few newbies every now and again. I think Mylot could do with clearing out the database somewhat and deleting accounts that haven't been used for a certain amount of time. It would give us a far more accurate figure of the number of active members here.

I m also wondering how many people are really active, I am sure you are the one,,lol.. But I think the real active members may be less than 10000 based on the assumptions that many of the members who got their referrals,but with an active referrals rate was around 10%, I get 0% becuase nearly all of them never shown up sicne registration. As i know some of the old members who had not logged on for few months had already left mylot for other good paid forums,you can see many members profile with two or three thousands posts but last logged on was 3 months ago. In the recently weeks,I had noticed that few old members had came back, may be they also known mylot had increased the earning and they came back here and had a look.

Oh yeah. I'm sure it's much lower then that. I would be willing to bet that at least half of them are inactive now. When I cleaned out my buddies list I know most of them weren't active any more. I think alot of people join it for the money then when they see that they arent going to be able to make alot of that here, they just leave without giving it a second thought. I bet over half of people that sign up never post more then 50 replies/discussions.

I agree here are a lot of people on Mylot the member have pass the 85000 members. I don't concern myself with how many because that is not important to me.I only guest that around 2000 member are active, I just come on here and speak my mind and have a good time. I am not very interested in how many people are on here,let mylot grown

I agree to your statements, because I myself has about a total of 26 referrals and sad to say that only about an average of 5 to seven of them are making posts on a daily basis... Well I gues it is known fact that we all can not rely fully on the figures of those overall memberships. A clean shot is approximately one third are inactive in general view as I can see on my referred members.

I read in a trade journal (about ecommerce) that the "user generated content" business model usually results in a situation where 90% of the activity is supplied by 10% of the users. Based on what I have experienced around here, I'd say that estimate is probably pretty close to the truth. I am sure there are LOTS of "inactive" accounts on myLot-- but because myLot involves giving people money for their activity, they can't just "close" the accounts, in case people were to come back later. I noticed, for example, that when the recent site upgrade took place, a whole lot of "formerly inactive" people started posting again... maybe myLot did some kind of mass-mailing announcement. I think in order for myLot to weed out inactive accounts, the guidelines would have to be amended with a statement like "If you do not log into your account every 90 days, it will automatically be closed."

I would think that the number of active members will be much lower. I know with my own referrals only a small number of them are active. This happens with anything that you refer people to, only a small percentage ever become active, not just here on mylot.

I guess it could be true that 85000+ people are members of mylot, but I find it impossible that more than 1000 could be active. Think about it, if each of those members made at least 10 cents a day ( a conservative estimate since I've seen some members earn $2-$3 a day) mylot would be down $8500 in a single day. I find it hard to believe that mylot can afford that much money.
