We grow in Numbers but with few "active ones"

Hello Lotters, Personally, I believe that within the population of two hundred thirty two and seven hundred fifty eight population number, there are probably 5 to 10% people who are "ONLINE" in this site". maybe there are people added but they are either referrals who stay one night and then leave or those who are not active any more and then pops up later. There was even the situation where a my-lot user existed in some other places of designated location.well, the admin knows that error. well, I am still glad that there are still active members here and we have active veterans still. not to mention, the admin is active indeed.

"There was even the situation where a my-lot user existed in some other places of designated location.well, the admin knows that error" What do you mean by this? I'm a bit confused to be quite honest. Is there an alternate mylot universe?

I am not sure whether it has now been resolved but this is what Letran is referring to: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2544447.aspx

Hello Somecowgirl, I was talking about the population area of mylot where a user exist in just one place to the other. for example I am in the location the Philippines, while he is in pakistan, it's surprising that he also existed in some unspecified locations even in the philippine, he exist there twice. have a nice day.

I know what you mean. I have referred several people here but only one of them are active. Most of them joined and left the same day without even accepting my friendship.

Hi Letran, I hope to always be an active member, that life doesn't get in my way, but like today, I shouldn't even be here. Yesterday my math site was down, now I have to do two days of work in one day.. But I thought I'd at least stop in this morning and hopefully will be back by tonight, sometime...

hello carmela, I have always seen you active in this site, and admire you for some reason. but because you also do online studies and still you have time to do mylot and that's one thing I am also proud of you off and inspires me to maximize my time even though i have nothing else to do. have a nice day.

Yeah, well most of my activity was trying to get help for my one and only class and even with a tutor, I couldn't finish it.. But that's okay, I left with a Withdraw on my record and not a Fail, so my GPA is still good and this will give me time to work on my resume and my story until I start classes again in Sept..

It certainly does seem that not every one is active on mylot. Some are, but it seems like it's possibly only a small number of people. As much as it might be nice if more were active, at least there still are some active members.

Hello Dodo19, We have a smaller number of people indeed, but it's nice that we have actually done our best to be active here. It's nice to see you active here also. have a nice day.

Hi, Letran, I think that this situation is normal. You always have a little bunch of enthusiasts who are very active and a large mass of people who log in from time to time. I like it here and I want to stay in myLot much more time than I do. But I work a lot (sometimes I ask myself why) and I don't have all the time I need.

Hello Fannitia, Yup, that's right my friend, in most cases it is natural because mylotters come and go. those who have begun enjoying this site doesn't leave and stay long but leaves because they are too busy off line. of course, it understandable if you are busy and offline work is more important first hand. Have a nice day.

I am still a newbie here, and hope I can be that "active ones" haha. By the way -- "not to mention, the admin is active indeed." I have never seen Admin around here yet. Was he ever posting something here in discussion on MyLot, or just watching from the distance? :))

He is here daily and as you can see from the activity in his profile, he posts almost daily too: http://www.mylot.com/GoAskAlice

Hello varier, Don't violate the guidelines is the best way to stay here longer and be active. Also prevent yourself from getting bored being stick too much in being too active in mylot. he's name is goaskalice but he's called alex because the previous admin is no longer around i think. Have a nice day.

Ah, I just see it now, lol. Thank you for letting me know! XD Anyway is there any other Admin, or maybe moderators here in MyLot that actively participate in discussion?

They should have a display that shows how many are currently online and maybe show you which friends are currently online... That would be interesting. I try and be active daily but find it hard with a busy life to deal with. I notice that the mylot community keeps growing very quickly and I often wonder how many are really active.... What about the people that's accounts have been suspended? Do they and their discussions get deleted?

Hello pinklilly, Nice avatar that you got there my friend. yes, it keeps growing but some of my friends have truly disappeared into this place and some have not come back for some reason that we are not aware. there are even a few lotters that don't come back and even ask for a deletion link of their accounts.

I admit i belong to the veterans that are inactive. I am just busy with other site that I am earning more. But I drop by from time to time with Mylot and read my friends discussion and if that interests me, i join the discussion. I really like to be part of the active ones, but I am earning more on other site and I will be using that for my brother's tuition fee. I can estimate my earnings there compare here, but I still read and response to some of the discussions like this one. Anyway, I used the Mylot rewards because I use Mylot if I have something to search and I get rewarded after a day, or let us say every two days of continuously using the search.

Hello Grecy, Well, you have been here for a very long time though inactive but as I noticed eery generations comes and disappear from ever once a year a new group or batch of lotters comes in and out. some of those that I've been active with over the past few months and years. most of the time I am just stating as a discussion starter. Have a Nice day.

Well you are certainly right. We have a lot of members but not so many are active. From my point of view, mylot is not for everybody. There are people who have joined mylot and is expecting a lot. After finding out the earnings they get, the slowly fade away. But for those who understand the concept, they will surely stay. I have realized long before that mylot is not more about the money but rather a learning, fun and socializing site. The earnings are just the bonus. So if you expect to earn much, you will be discourage. The concept is to enjoy and earn.

Hello Jpso138, It's true that mylot is not for every body because people are either busy with other things offline. and other people are actually doesn't care and uninterested after being here for the next few days, not every one can stay here most specially if they have other priorities. the concept is to earn and enjoy your life. Have a Nice day.

hi letran I have barely sc ratched the surface of my huge mylot friends list of over one thousand people and have seen at least fifty or sixty people who have not been here for three, six, eight months, I am wondering if those are deleted from the 231,777 number it shows today? of course some may come back too but I waited awhile then when three months went to six seven or eight I did delete a few. I figure if they do come back they can ask to be my friend atain meanwhile they are not doing anything. so when I add new friends now I do delete those who have only been here for one week or one month as I figure they just did not like mylot. i am curious about the mylot user existing in another location.

Hello Hatley, I agree with Aunty D that we should always consider not deleting old accounts because you never when they would come back. if that deletion happens then people will hate mylot more than theyre beign hated by past formers users. In my method I would make them wait for weeks or months to see how long they can be active, if they stop being active for a month then they won't have my friends request. have a nice day.

Well, maybe those members who becomes inactive are just busy with their primary source of income. Or maybe some are busy with their studies, like my daughter who haven't mylotted anymore since summer. But as for me, i like to always visit this site. It keeps my brain active !
• Philippines
5 Aug 11
Hello Simplyd, that's the usual reason when they are not online and It is justifiable since it's a lot more important and being here is just for fun and to social and not a source of income for them. Well, same here we do need let our mind think most of the time. hope things will go well for all of us being too active here. have anice day

hi LK, I have 3 referrals but they never been active here I hope one day they can appreciate this site like I do happy mylotting
• Philippines

Hello Catch, Well, you can hope for those people would come back but in all Honesty we can and should be able to be active here online and earn our own compare to others who depend too much on referrals which is downright wrong and selfish when were supposed to help our referrals. have a nice day.

I'm kind of a weekly inactive type it really depends on my internet connection there were times I've been on here for 2 hours but only got to post around 5 replies because my internet connection keeps on breaking and I can't really copy and paste yet since I haven't reached the 500 posts minimum. It's kind of tiring when you've written 2 paragraphs of a reply and then your connections shuts down while you're posting it and you have to make a new one since you can't copy and paste the one you've previously written. I'm only online here for 1 hour a day since I can't really devote a larger amount of time on myLot.

Hello Mewpeach, well, it's really a hard time to be on the internet and then have your connection breaking up. you know I got really mad when ever my internet connection slows up because of too much time on the internet. don't worry I understand your condition as it has happened to me before when my connection was slow as 384 kb. Have a nice day.

and i happen to be one of those partially inactive ones. hehe i must have had about 10 referrals before but they came on active only for a short while. mylot really is something that one has to enjoy to have a staying power in the site. even if i had wanted to, time does not permit me to be really active in the site... the way i used to. but i try to come aboard every now and then and participate to some of the discussions posted by friends in my list (yours included of course hehe). work really weighs heavier as time passes and business gets serious everyday... seems like my baby is growing. hehe it is still good to find veterans who had been here for years already and that the admin has an active role in interacting as well as improving the site. have a great day lk! :)

Hello myles, I have so many active referrals once but unfortunately things went wrong from the start because they didn't last after a few days or months. I am still proud that we still have an active admin in this site because of their dedication to help the others. I don't understand when you mentioned you're baby is growing though. anyways, good to your endeavor. have a nice day.

Certainly not all of that number are active but remmber that some don't particpate in the discussions but are actively completing tasks. Owlwings did some calculations and knows approximately how many are active here and I hope he will come and explain. It seems to me that many new users join, then realise that they have to do something here to earn and are disappointed and stop posting without giving it (and us) a chance

Hello Aunt D. How are you? I miss you have not gone here for a long time. well, he's not been active that lately and i even asked him for help when I had some trouble with doubling my connection here. It's their lost aunt d and not ours, when they discontinue this site then it's not for them. this is something that they have to decide for themselves whether they should come back or not. have a nice day.

seems like people are just inviting a lot of others to make this site grow or some are making multiple accounts or worse... some people have very short attention spans and move on just because they think it's boring to be here

Hello Chipesterkhan, Well, You are actually in both and that's why you don't see the real numbers. I believe some people will realize it in the end, for now it's something that we should also consider. Yes, as for making multiple accounts that's probably you see users who are indefinitely loosing stars. if they think it's boring here, they shouldn't make a fuss about mylot. have anice day.

Hello monasharma, Yes I noticed that you don't make discussions and instead respond on some one elses discussions. but if you want you can always find a way to make your responses with a bit more exaggeration and something different from your usual response but with quality. of course, it's not easy to do so but i know you can do, have a nice day my friend.

Hello LK, Thats true there are lot of members as per MYLOT in to the site but i rarely see that much people active here. Most of the people do join MYLOT and leave within day or two as they don't find it suitable for them to earn.You can imagine this from the fact that i have 9 referrals but no one is active here.They all did trial and remained active for 1 or 2 days and left it.
• Philippines
5 Aug 11
Hello sjvg, But there was a reminder from Aunt D. or mysdianait that we should always keep our referrals because I saw in her discussion that one of years old referral has come back and indeed it's really good for her because that referral will be active in the years to come. i hope they do come back some day. have a nice day.

Yes I agree with that. LOts of people does not put much effort on mylot. They usually gives more time on blogging. The admin knows that. the site needs more active members. If you have a friend you can refer them.

Hello zerd87, Actually the really true new ones are the ones who don't put too much effort on it because they think it's an easy money scheme, which is not. I think there's already an active kind of numbers to this place but i guess it only needs more creative thinking to make more discussions. but as for me, I have my limit in maknig more topics in this site. have anice day.
