why leave?

I don't know if I dare enter here as the curse of the deletion might follow me in. I vehmently oppose said nuisance leaving and might not be able to tolerate the childishness here if we can't moan about it together. So possible it could become dull and then we'll see. Gosh, just think of how many we could make happy.

I am currently thinking of cutting back on the websites that I participate in as they take up a lot of my time and they are not getting me the results that I was after. The social side of these sites is what I will miss, but I can still catch the same people elsewhere online. I am staying here because I am getting out of Mylot what I want, which is great interaction with awesome people and a little bit of cash thrown in for good measure! When I go away at Christmas time I will think about how I spend my time and make a decision then, when I am away from the computer for a few weeks!

I think most things in life run their course. I have been on Mylot for 4 years now and it is still holding my interest. However, during the last few years I have joined and left a few websites for one reason or another. Sometimes for time constraints, sometimes because I lost interest. Over the years I have seen a few discussions on Mylot where the writer announced to the whole Mylot population that he or she is leaving Mylot. This always amuses me. As of now Mylot shows a membership of over 192000 members from most countries in the world. There are more than 53000 Americans, more than 8000 from Britain and more than 3000 from Canada alone just as an example. So,I am asking myself who of those 192 000 people would be interested or cared to know in the event that I would decide to leave. Obviously only those people on my friends's list with whom I had formed a somewhat more personal interaction, and of course I would notify them by PM and perhaps exchange e-mail addresses.

I know who you are referring to, and I think it's entirely up to the person whether to leave or not. This person will definitely be missed, because I have always tried my best to answer the discussions created. My personal thought; take a break, but not permanently.. :D

Wha'd I miss? I've cut way back on every other website than this one, 1) because I like it here more and 2) because stupid work has blocked all those social sites.

I thought you were leaving? So now, you can PM me with the details....I'll be waiting

No not really I am sorry this Person is leaving, I have been here 4 years now and have no intentions of going I just ignore all the bad things on here now I used to get fed up and annoyed with it but not any more I enjoy it here

Yes I have a couple of times. I had my own community at one point and it was fun for a long while but by and by it got over-run with drama and childish games. I finally handed over the reins to a member that I trusted and respected and had taken on as partner to help oversee things when I discovered that he was a big part of all the drama and whatnot. I believe it has since folded but not sure...haven't checked.

I guess for me it's because I feel like, as you said, my participation here has run its course. Before posting and browsing was really enjoyable for me, but now, I just feel like this is something I have to do, just so all the earnings I had before wouldn't go to waste. So now, I am just trying my best to post as much so I can get my payout, and then I'll probably be away for a while until I feel like being active again.

The only sites that I've decided to leave were ones that didn't benefit me in any real way. One of these was MySpace, because none of my friends are even on it anymore, and so there's no point in me being there. I also quit going to Yahoo! Answers just because I find MyLot, which is almost the same thing, although we actually get paid for doing what we do. . I've never left a site just because I was "fed up" with people. Naturally..I'm not that argumentative, and rarely do people on MyLot get on my bad side (and when they do, it's usually because THEY initiated it.) Even if I was fed up, I don't think I'd ever leave MyLot.. I've become too attached! It's sad that this individual wants to leave, but he (or she) backed themselves into this corner. Don't go against the rules unless you can take the consequences.

I think participating in mylot is not distracting. You can get all your queries answered. There are so many things that you can discuss and share. I will never call it quits on mylot. And we are also getting paid for discussing. So what is the problem in spending some time here.

Hi jb, It is difficult for me to understand your discussion. I think i only partly get the meanign. Although i do not decide to leave mylot, i am not active any more. You may notice that the quantities of my posts rise very slowly. Every time i only response several discussions. The reason is partly because that i had may some success on the main aim of participating mylot, improving my english wrriting. Additionally, now the limit time to mylot also contribute some. It is fortune that i still care about the discussions from my friends, of course including you. I think i should keep mylotting and increase our net relationship and make more improving on my english writting.

Hey Jb, I guess sobbing and histrionics cyber style doesn't really enhance the pleadings. This is my first time at a website of this nature and there are times that I find it difficult to find a discussion I want to participate in but as a whole the blue bunny and the Greek Girl make it really fun. I would be sad to see the "dynamic duo" broken up. I hope you will reverse your resolution and embrace all the distractions! Okay, that's a bit extreme but perhaps allow yourself this one distraction as I so enjoy your discussions and responses. The bobbing head will become a sobbing head (do avatar threats work? of course I am threatening my own avatar) I truly do not believe I would have lasted this long on this website if not for the caring individuals that I have met, you included.
