Why I like mylot, why do you?

December 18, 2007 8:21pm CST
I'd like to ask you a very simple question; Why do you like mylot? Your posting, so you must like something about it. For myself, I've joined a few sites which pay or say they do just to see what it's like. I find that most have ways that get you to part with your earnings, also some "communities" aren't that welcoming at all. I find mylot a good source for making online friends, a good way to talk to others on the same wave length as myself and a nice way of getting a little plus in the form of pocket change. Good banter goes off here, and although many point out down sides it remains a good place because of the users. Thanks, looking forward to your input. ~Joey P.s Merry christmas + New year!

Why do I like Mylot? Its very simple, its because of people like you. I have been able to meet all kinds of people from all over the world. I have made friends here. I do relise that we will never meet in person, that really doesn't matter (it would be nice though). You can really get to know someone and care about someone from meeting them in a place like mylot. We leave a little bit of ourselves with each post, its impossible to hide too much when writing. Your personality does come out with the written word. When we have something bothering us, all we have to do is come here. We will find friendly advice, sympathy, or maybe just a kind word or two. We get encouragement from our friends. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. Notice I didn't mention the money, that stopped mattering a long time ago. It takes me so long to earn minimum payout, I don't even pay attention to it. Merry Christmas Joey and Happy New Year.

Don't say you'll NEVER meet any. I chat in some Bill W rooms and other A.A. related sites. One year I attended the World A.A. Convention when it was in my home town and actually met many friends I'd chatted with from other countries in those rooms that attended the Convention as well. We had never discyssued the Convention. But walking around one day I saw a home made qwuilt for people to sign from Australia and then I saw a couple names I recognized as screennames and asked around. before I knew it I met a lot of people from online chatting from a few different countries. So you never know. I hope I will meet a few of my foriegn friends. There's also a friends from near me that I plan on meeting some day. Maybe even after the Holidays pass as a couple are just a couple hours drive. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

What you said about never meeting anyone here is true, I shouldn't say never. It can be a small world. I was mostly talking about Joey, he lives on the other side of the world. I do want to meet so many of my friends here. Even you Bob, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One of the thing I like about myLot is that I am able to make some money through myLot. Also, I am able to get lots of friends through myLot. It is nice to share information among different friends. I also like the idea of getting paid for replying and also starting teh discussions. I am also happy to see lots of people replying to the discussions I have started and it is nice to reply to different discussions.

myLot is a place where I feel good. I do no that are plenty of undercurrents and problems, but still it's an easy place to enjoy, express our views and opinions and read other people's opinions as well. As you say it's nice to find other people that share the same views and even to find different perspectives on things. Sure, the money is a bonus, and maybe I wouldn't post as much if it wasn't for that, but I would still be coming here because I enjoy to be here.

Hi joey, I like myLot because of the people who come here. I discovered the site by accident, but it's the only one that I've stayed with so far. I've made friends here and I like that, I also like posting and commenting. I haven't made a lot of money here, but you do get paid and that means something to me. I think they are a fair bunch. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well. Blessings.

Met some great people... I think thats the main reason I'm still around. I also get to help so many people in all sorts of interests and subjects. That feels great too! Then there is the bonus, and thats being able to debate and being able to have a real opinion (albeit at the cost of a star rating). Still, some people have great stances, diversity and opinions. Even people I disagree with I like as people, I'll listen/read their arguments, there are even times I'll defend them. I feel like there's been some growth in me as well thanks to my mylotting.

At first I liked mylot for the earning that I was making. But, once the money you earn went down, I am here now for my friends and try to keep up with their discussions.

I,ve been a member of mylot for 1 year now. Of course when I first join it it was a little bit more for the money, but I discoverd more then that. Mylot is really a great community when we can make great frienship and help each other. I love to read about others story and I know some people are happy for me when they read about mine :)

I share the same feeling here with the mylot community. The people here are nice and its as if its already my second family online. I have joined other sites but its mylot where I have found nice and thoughtful online friends, friends that pray for you and encourage you when you post sad posts and mylotters who rejoice with you. im glad to be here.

I agree its a good site to make friends. One of the first reasons i joined though was to make some extra cash. And also if you need advice on here its a great place to receive it. Because if you ask for it you know more then one person is going to give you advice. Merry christmas and happy new year to you also.

Fairly new here: I like the fact that there seems to be infinite topics and a large amount of contributors. Plus, you get paid while you learn things if you pick and choose the threads you read and post carefully. There seems to be a lot of topics I have no interest in, but that is fine.

Well I think you know why I like Mylot my friend, I have been here since October 2006 now and I always come back for more. First thing is the friends I have made here and I have made many 'true' friends, friends that have also supported me and given me the strength to get out of my abusive relationship. I owe so much to Mylot. Yes the banter is fantastic and it has got me out of a grouchy mood, I love humour and hate being serious, so Mylot gives me all that and more. Merry Christmas to you dear friend and a very very successful 2008 with lots of good karma

Agreed with you. I am getting different types of friends of different part of our world through Mylot, like you. We can share our experience, put our views, seeking advise and smile after reading a joke on MYlot. It's a good bridge between us. Enjoy, cheer-up and keep it up. Thanks Mylot and you also.

Hi Joey Long, long time no see. I have not been here for ages, but I must say I have been drawn back in on hearing all the latest scandal going on. You can't beat Mylot for having issues going on. I intend to visit more often as I was such a fan of this place before it started going down hill with all the banning of members for no reason. I hope I have come back to the old Mylot that I enjoyed for so long. I hope you are keeping well and your little one is looking forward to Christmas. Have a great Christmas and New Year. I hope your site is going well too. x
