Goodbye February & hello March!~ After the month end rush, it seems that myLot have calmed down a little? Even my wife just mentioned that there are less discussions to respond to, haha~!Well, I do agree on the less part but not the interesting & quality part though. Although there were so many discussion at the month end, I still wouldn't say all are quality ones but at least there were more? HahaSo what happened to everyone? Or is it something brewing like I was talking to someone on another discussion - the calm before the storm?

Well, begining of the month is usually my busiest at work. So the only few times I get to come online to post here is when I am running some jobs and waiting for the results, or there is actually a breather in the many errands I have to run. It is only during the later part of the third week that the activity starts to wane off and I get more time on my hands to catch up on my discussions here to meet the min payout. That is where I will be busy engaging with interesting individuals like yourself to make things more lively here!

He he... I sort of consolidate them throughout the month. Then post them at the end of the month which usually will spill over to the beginning of the month. Then the rest of the month I'd be busy answering to the replies and other notifications in my mail box. But the time I am thru with my responses, the month has come to an end!

HahaJust make sure you keep your main job the main job, hahaBut I also notice your strategy of starting a few MORE discussions in the beginning of the month & come back to answer them later? Haha

Well I write the best discussions ever, and people are so jealous they get them deleted! Now just how mean is that eh? ROFL I know what you mean though zweeb. I've been trying to get my earnings back up since I lost them after I was cancelled, and it's been a struggle because there just isn't much I have an interest in responding to lately. Same old, same old or so inane I can't stand it. LOL So I guess I'll just have to liven things up with more threads of my own.......but get to them fast before they disappear!

yes i noticed there are times that many people will make discussions. and sometiems less. but still i am just interested to quality discussions. but not much quality discussions lately though. but still i am active here cause there are still some nice discussions though i don't find those great ones that i used to find. maybe people are just quite busy to make more quality discussions. it is not easy to make interesting discussions and so that maybe another reason for it.

I realized that there are a lot of quality discussions still but they might be old & with little responses. If we dig up those, then it will resurface again & others can join in

HahaBut did you know when someone digs up an old discussion, it might even get into today's top again or on top of your friend's discussions? HahaIt's ok, like you said, if there's none, we can always start one

i hate digging up old discussions. i have done that before. it was just too tiring. and so i have given up on that. i just try to find discussions i can find in top discussion button. and then i just look on friend started discussion. only on those i find discussion to post on. and wen i find no discussion that i really like to post i just post in other discussion as well as long as the topic is not some ridiculous topic and just good enough to post on to though.

Hello zweeb82! I really didn't notice about the storm..hehehe..I haven't been very active here lately so I don't know what happened here. It's march now and I am really hoping that my husband and I could be together. That's why I was not in the mood to participate here because I miss him..hehhee.. Now I am out of topic..Am I?

I am returning to mylot after a long gap of more than a year. Just lost touch somehow and spent the whole night trying to remember my username and password. The last time I was here, the discussions were so many but most of them would be so dumb, if I may say so! The last ten minutes on mylot however shows me that the number of discussions have definitely gone down. Though there stil are some dumb discussions floating, most of them are quality discussions. I hope this time around I am here to participate in interesting discussions.

Well, I haven't noticed anything any less. I see almost the same members. Except for some others. I guess they are busy and all. I know we will soon be getting paid very soon, so I guess we all are just chilling until then.

I have been in and out of MyLot the past couple of months but yes when i first started I noticed this alot. Everyone seems to be in and to reach their goal for the end of the month. I know I have so much to catch up on here and I see alot of good discussions. people could just be busy with other things as well the discussions will pick up soon again.

Yeah, I think it will pick up soon enough. Normally when you take a break & come back, it would be easier to find good discussions again. Well, at least that's what I have experienced as I was on & off here as well

Because of the way mylot pays it will be this way unless they change the payout schedule. There would not be such a rush if myLot did not pay so the last minute rush is something that will be around for awhile, it is human nature.

I bet everybody just tries desperately to make it to payout amount towards the end of the month that it seems like a rush here.

towards the end of February I think everyone was trying to get in enough to make payout...I was at payout so I was able to slow down towards the end and put my effort towards my gpt sites..... now that payment is done, I have to hussle now to make this months payout, so I will be here more at the beginning of the month to build up what I can at first...then slow down towards the end again... I liked it that way...its like getting a report done early and then waiting and watching everyone at deadline...LMAO!! but hey we are still here!!!! Keep mylotting!!

ha ha.. i am a newbie here.. can i know the starting day or month of mylot?? and who is the founder of my lot?? talking on quality.. i think mylot had no choice of attracting people except this earning method.. since there is a lot of competition like from orkut, myspace, facebook.. so this is the the innovative way they are following.. and it's attractive for the people too.. good way mylot :) quality discussions.. can u just give me those links please :)

Hi zweeb! Who you been talkin' too? It makes no difference to me whether it's the end or the beginning of the month as I usually reach payout in the middle. I am not starting discussions because I know that I will not have time to respond until tomorrow as I will be working later today. I have been responding on others and I have not had any trouble finding topics without repeating the same things. There does seem to be a bit of a drop in new discussions and if it's due to the beginning of the month well, that's daft in my opinion. A little every day and there's no need to rush at the end. could it be tha users are reviving old discussions too? We shall see..... as always

Yes, we shall see - as always, hahaA little a day does help indeed as I hate last minute unnecessary pressure. Anyway I find myself the take it easy type when it comes to myLot actually, hahaAlthough making payout is important but I don't stress myself at all - maybe that's why I've only made 3 payouts in my last 11months? HahahaAnd yeah, I've seen the revival of of old but interesting discussions. Scoot scoot...interesting old discussions, here I come POOF

Yep indeed. It's like I can't find any good topic to respond to but this does not stop me from myLotting because I want to reach my payout the next month. it is a must and I hope I can make it.......not in a habit of starting new discussions like some. So I am now finding topics of my interest to answer.

Yeah, you seldom start discussions. You should actually build your friends list more as well to build a good circle of friends so that when you start a discussion there will be more people responding to your discussions? That will help you reach your payout faster too, and mine as well, haha

Yes dear, few days back there wee so many discussions to respond to but over the period the number of discussions have reduced as the payout time is out now. People wil rush again at the end of the month.

It does seem to be that way. Everyone was just rushing to make payment. If they did a little bit each day they would not have to do that. Im fairly new here so i don't know if it is a pattern or not. What storm are you talking about. Or could it be that march is coming in like a lamb and will go out like a lion.

I like the lion & the lamb allegoryI'm not really sure if it's a pattern or not as I've just only turned on the discussions notification last month & traffic is especially heavier at the end of the month!~A little bit a day is good but I think it's like running a race kind of thing - when it's the last lap, normally people will just sprint & give their all? As for the storm I'm not too sure as many people are mentioning trolls here? Well, beats me as I'm not really bothered
