I am trying to remember what mylot was like when I first started. I know that many of the features we now have were not available. I think I joined over 4 years ago. As mylot added new features, I always wondered if I could get adjust, but i am happy with what mylot has become.. I remember when there were less then 100,000 members. People were discussing and guessing at when mylot would hit 100,000 now..look at it.. Mylot is truly a great place to be and everyone here is wonderful !

Hi Littlefranciscan! I think it's almost four years too no, since I joined Mylot. I remember that it was simple before but I do like the changes. But I also remember there were a lot of mylotters that got deleted bach then. I don't know why, maybe because they didn't follow the guidelines much. And there were a lot of top discussions and very good posters. I kinda miss them. Seems like a lot of them are not active anymore. (^^,)

I remembered how hard it was the first time Mylot change..but now each change is always showing something better. Mylot has surely become quite a wonderful social network.

Nothing has really changed much since I started here in Mylot. I joined the site three years ago, but I was more of a reader than a participant in terms of discussions. Nowadays, I try to participate in discussions more, but there are days where I don't find any discussions interesting.

There are lots of interesting topics here. I have set my front page to mylot since the news is included. One thing I wish was included was a way to access our personal email from the mylot portal page.. Other then that, I would change nothing.

Yeah, I remember when I registered to this site 3 years ago. I think it's still the same. They only blogs, I think. I think there's nothing so much special changes.

Thanks for the information. So it's just recent that they give awards on the search engine. Before, I don't use the search engine, just now when I got back after 3 years. LOL.

wow you have been a user here for a long time. I been here for a year or less. I remember when i first started my first day i stayed on for 5 hours. It was fun typing to people who actually read the discussion and repilied so effiecently. I felt like everyone cared what i was writing.

You know, that's how I feel.. It is nice having people read what you write and respond to what they read and you to them. I think the best discussions are always two way streets:)

Word to the wise; if you want to really do well in contributing content, you will want to write more then one sentence. Don't be afraid to write whatever you want.

Hahaha! You joined around the same time I did - 4 years back.I have grown up from a school girl to a working woman now. hehe I was there when there were like only about 1000 members or less. Its so cool to see Mylot grow! Anyway, I want to get to know the older members here, i mean we've been around for that long and don't know each other yet? Maybe we can create a Mylot community across the world, and then maybe if we get a chance we can organize meetups and events. What say? :) Happy Mylotting! Cheers! Leanette PS: BTW, I logged in after a couple of months, my accumulated earnings have wiped out..anyone knows what happened?*

Hi Little franciscan I do believe it was a smaller community and as you have said it has less functions than it has now. There are many users that have been here and are no longer active. Although the site has exceeded the 100,000 user, I think that there are a ot who are inactive. I think that its not the number that make mylot community great but the quality of its members.

hi littlefranciscan You were here when I joined two years ago he he. oh yes mylot has changed just in the time I have been here and mostly for the better too. I agree mylot is really a wonderful place and all of my fellow mylotters are a really great bunch of people .glad you feel that way too. Its odd that I was just fooling around and found my lot and thought well that might be fun,I did not really want to go to Facebook but mylot really appealed to now I am so glad I did.

Facebook is nice but there is more playing of games there then communication. Mylot is more a social network then facbook, in my opinion. I know I have been on mylot a long time but some of my past employment prevented me from always enjoying the site. Only now can I unwind and enjoy sharing with all my friends on mylot.

I think I joined myLot close to around 2 years ago. I can't actually remember it being all that different to how it is now, but yes I do remember there being less members. I was very excited upon joining - I thought I might make lots of money! But then I slowly realised that it is more important to just enjoy the various discussions rather than worry about the money too much! And if you enjoy being on myLot then earning the money is a nice bonus!

I have been here only a year, and I have seen a lot of features added since them, and I do feel that everything is for the better. They are doing all they can to get members here, and that is a good thing, as the more it gorws the better teh site is, I feel. I have enjoyed myself so much since I have been in here, and I have never regretted joining mylot whatsoever. The only regret I have, is that I didn't join it sooner than I did, but now that I am here, I am not going anywhere. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I just joined this week so I don't really have the idea what myLot looks like when they first started. Thanks littlefranciscan, because of this post I can have my own idea what myLot looks like four years ago. Hope they keep improving and more people join.
