There are several respective reasons why we keep coming back here, or rather have set camp here, so to speak.
I just wanted to know what motivates you, as an individual, to stay on at myLot, regardless of all those people who annoy you, regardless of the technical issues against your ratings, regardless of being "harassed" by referall links and friendship requests, etc.
Jut what keeps you here?

Sometimes I wonder. My main reason is because once in a while there are some decent people who have interesting discussions. I'm not sure if it really outweighs the bad of mylot though. Sometimes that's where I want... are the few and far between discussions better than the others? only time will tell I guess.

It's true, even for me, that I surely do meet very decent people. I actually just understand and love to ignore the funny characters that have a different agenda.
I have learnt a lot from myLot.

It is the wonderful discussions started by dear friends, which keeps me going and vice versa. It is interesting and satisfying to read response to my discussions with some brigh ideas and amazing thoughts.

That is interesting. So do you mostly respond to the topics only started by your friends?
It's great thought to stay in a circle of friends of too. But interacting beyond that circle is as nice!

Great to hear that, keeping it in the "family" of friends, hey!
And earning a little for it.

I wasn't in here last month! I just wanted so share and be shared for any social issues. I am not an English-speaking person... I think this is a nice place to learn some. Not everyday here has good english as I saw it in some discussions but the more I participate here, the better the my english would be.
Thanks for starting this discussion.

It is indeed a nice place to polish up your English language skills, this one, for those that are just learning this lingua franca. I have noticed some people can even write better now than they did then when they just joined! lol

what motivates me to stay on mylot is the earnings for every posts, and when you respond to every discussion, you not just earn but you learn new things from different people.

I stay on mylot because I enjoy the discussions. I find many of them interesting and those that I don't like I just don't answer. I like being able to get some helpful tips from people too. The little bit of extra money is a great bonus too.

Indeed, the discussions here can be very captivating that you will not notice time move. It is a two-way traffic: you help others with some problems that they give out here, and you also pick out one or two things from the topics otheres contribute to.
The bonus is the other motivator that we all gladly enjoy! :)

MyLot has become a Social networking site for me and for all MyLot members too, thats one reason. Another one is that MyLot pays you, you get money for doing things that you would otherwise be doing on other Social Networking sites and forums. MyLot has got a far better look than most such sites so you just feel good coming here to MyLot. Nothing annoys me here, everything is good, its just that you gotta play by the rules and MyLot has its rules too so you have to abide by the rules and thats what you liked when you first chose to get in here, isn't it !
Even though not many members have been active in the past few months but still many good members have been pretty active. Though i would like more mebers to come back and join the fun and new members too come in and that would feel like to have a party.

You are right. And I love the interface here too. Nice but quick to load, especially for those with slower connections.

For me it has always been the money factor, to earn something while you chat along with people and socialize..although this has reduced my physical social life a lot but now i dont seem to care a lot

How much, if I may ask, have you earned so far?
I hope you have minted enough. But I know it takes a lot of earn good money here. Looking at your rating, I am pretty sure you are still on your way to earning.
I just got paid once so far. But the stakes are encouragingly getting high.

Mostly, it's the people whom I meet and established friendly relationships who're the one's that keeps me from enjoying here. Also, mylot is the place where I can share my thoughts, informations and opinions in a good way.
I'm always curious of other people's cultures and beliefs, as I'd love to mingle and discuss n issues that makes sense.

I also have established a couple of friends. I like the socialising bit of it.

It is good that people are also earning while they are learning, as the old cliché goes!

You came for the money! You are not alone, my dear. A lot of us did. Personally, I am here more for the social interaction than for the money! lol
