lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 23 Feb 09

Mylot should have a bonus for a certain amount of posts

jambi462 @jambi462 (4576) • United States 5 Feb 09

Who here agrees with me on this? I think that we should get a bonus for like every one hundred posts that we do even if it's not much like ten cents or something like that. It's pretty hard to earn on here but we're all still a...

SusanShayAvon @SusanShayAvon (1003) • United States 26 Jan 09
