Yes, this question has been asked a lot, but mine have a twist, which i think a lot of you are not going too like or appreciate. We are members of a big 'family', who try to give advice, help, encourage and make each other laugh. Now, i want to know, if you are not happy here, what are you doing here. Don,t get me wrong. We value our friends, no matter what, but a lot of us, tend to make facebook and all the other sites look so good to be with. So, you can me a member with as many sites as you like, but we are mylotters, not any other site. We do not want too be compared with other sites. We are unique in our own special way. So, suck it up and keep the other sites to yourself. Okay, now you can start to rant and rave, even swear at me, i can take it.

I agree with the first posting. The idea of earning something just for being active caught my eye. Socialization is fun, and the idea of doing surveys like I used to was just way too boring

Initially I joined mylot to see if I could make any extra money however after joining I actually find it quite fun as I enjoy taking part in discussions. I guess it sounds cliche but there is much more to mylot that first meets the eye lol.

It gives me something to do when I am bored and have nothing else to do. Plus, I can a little extra money from it, so not only am I keeping myself occupied, I am gaining cash at the same time I also enjoy a good rant, and engaging in mature discussion (something that is rare on the internet).

I'm here to socialize because its difficult to socialize the orthodox way. The advantage of myLot is that I get to listen and speak to many people only with the help of a computer. I dont have to go outside since I have no friends in real life. Ive got company only here. I've also met my countrymen and we have fun talking about just anything. So this is a few of the reasons why I joined mylot.

If that makes you happy, then why not? At least we have company, almost 24 hours a day and that is saying something. Have a nice day.

At first I thought I want to earn, but slowly I don't even bother to care about the earnings. I came to mylot everyday to see my friends and participate in discussions coz I m lonely I have depression.

I am here for learning and earning is just an added plus since with the discussion from money making interest i am able to learn other sources of online earning which I learn from the discussion of the member. At my first joining I am not totally aware of those sites which pay and it is only on these sites that I heard about them. I also meet new friends and have a good conversation, sharing ideas and knowledge which seem absent even in offline world unless one is a netizen. I am happy here posting discussion, commenting and responding and so the earning from pay out really helps somehow in paying my small bill, though one could earn more if one have lot of active referrals sign up under your name. But, the experience in using this site is quite amazing!

of course mylot will always be mylot. it has its own difference and uniqueness. I might be happy or even happier maybe, with other sites, but that doesn't mean that I'm totally forgetting mylot, or else, I wouldn't even be reading your post and writing this one. =D

I love being on here. I have made a lot of great friends on here and was never on here for the money. I have gotten a lot of great advice and have been going through a lot in my personal life. I have been suffering depression and have not been out much, so being on here seeing my friends and responding to questions has helped me get through a rough time. It is great knowing that I am never alone and that if I need anyone I can send a PM to one of my friends and they get back to me.

That is what i want to hear. Beign able to depend on your friends is important. But friends beign able to help and make you feel better is so much more important and nice. Have a nice day.

When I joined mylot, I came here thinking of just making money. But not anymore. I rather don't really see my earnings bar. Instead I just love to get involved in discuussions.

That is normally the first thing we think off and it really is human to think like that. But as long as you make friends and participate in most of the discussions, it only makes it so much more enjoyable. Have a nice day.

I liked the approach of mylot like just spending some time on discussions will give knowledge and some extra income. This is my first day here so lets see how the journey begins, but i am very excited about mylot :)

I'm basically here to make some extra money in a way that is enjoyable to me. I'm kind of surprised people compare it to Facebook and the other social networking sites because it seems very different to me. And I agree with you Saphrina, if people aren't happy here, why do they stay and complain about it.

I am so glad that someone see my point of view. But it would be a shame if we loose some of our friends. But as they say 'life goes on and you just have to keep up, no matter what you loose in the prosess.' Have a nice day.

I am on here as there are alot more things todo on here than there is on facebook as well as i have alot of my friends on here that were on facebook until i sent them the link for this site and now we are all on here.This site pays you to have fun as well as make new friends where as facebook do not pay a penny.I only go on facebook rarely and that is only to send a message or put up a status saying having fun on a discussion site and then i also get the inbox of people wanting the link,lol.

i am on mylot and loving it because never in my life have i thought that i can actually enjoy something on the internet and reward myself at the same time. i am very much enjoying spending time here in mylot and it's a bonus to earn a few dollars for doing so. i feel like i am not wasting my time here in mylot unlike on other sites where i spend a great portion of my time but not have anything from them in returm..

Solely for the cash. While some of the topics on here are interesting and it's kind of nice to discuss them, I really have never felt any real friendship or anything of the sort on the site. Most of the threads seem to have people say their peace and then leave, there isn't real discussion that often unlike other forums I visit and frequent. Those feel like more of a community for me. Here it feels more like a brief little job that involves talking with the public that I do when I have a few free minutes and don't feel like doing anything else on my schedule.

yes..to some extent its right..we are an unique site and is should not have to be compared with any other social networking sites but the thing is that its much like it to some extent like chatting,posting pictures and commenting on them and like these and different freom them in some respects like you can create disussions and ask for advises and help from others and thebiggest difference is that unlike any other social networking site mylot pays us so they can be compared to some extent but again at the same time they cannot be compared to some other extents
