I don't really know about the very early history of Mylot except it was started about two years ago. A lot of the first posts seem to indicate that the site might have started on a university, or at least started by someone at a university. I hear that they've always paid people from the beginning but I don't know.
I started here about six months after they started and it's really changed. There were no interest categories to post in and most people didn't know what to do with tags. There were also tons of multiple posts. Now, everything is more organized and there is more moderation.

Yeah, I'm not totally sure if a student started it, but a lot of the first posts are related to more academic things. Perhaps one of the guys in Mylot Administration will tell us the story because it would be interesting.
I know they were paying people when I got here about six months after they started. I think there were only about 26,000 people signed up here. But, only a few hundred were really active.
