How Was It Without MyLot?

Many things had happened after the site declared that they would no longer be paying their members. I should say that I had a hard time finding something similar until I finally gave up. I stopped writing and concentrated with my call center job which I could say was worth the time and effort. I found a good online work which gave me the best source of online income. But my love for myLot haven't vanished so I keep coming back hoping to see the old myLot. I must admit I really love the old layout and I was looking for the same design with other sites until I finally gave up. I was informed that the site would be paying again. This is a great news for all the myLot members. Good luck and congratulations! How about you my friends, how was your online experience without MyLot?

With out Mylot, I had to talk politics on.....*shudder*.....facebook. It was awful. Simply awful. Now that I'm back here, I will just use facebook for source material. There is a lot of political (and other) comedy gold to be found on facebook pages and I plan on exploiting as much of it as I can cram in to posts.

Although I did join other sites, I never left Mylot. There were still some discussion to be had but, it wasn't the same with everybody being gone.

@Shasta Almost everyone was saddened of the changes that happened sometime ago. Others are relying much on the site as far as I know so it would be understandable that they would try to find other ways to earn. But what is important is that myLot is now on its new start and this will make everyone happy. Thank you for the comment.

I was in Morachat too, but not very active. I didn't know it's closed down. I think it used to be quite a good forum.

@kaka135 I was a moderator there. I liked that site but the owner went into heavy losses there.

Yes, we have been in Morachat and Bubblews. I am also writing for HubPages but only when I am in the mood.

After MyLot stopped paying, I found out about Bubblews. I joined there and have been with them ever since. They did have their ups and downs. Now that the new updates came, things are looking up there again. I also joined a site called Persona Paper. But once I heard that MyLot is bring back its payment system I jumped and came right over. I missed the old MyLot.

@ARIES1973 MyLot is a great site. And now that they are back, I love it again. We earn but that's a bonus. Always has been. I like connecting and reading posts and commenting.

There are a lot of writing sites around but nothing can really compare to myLot that we used to love before. So glad that we can start earning and having fun again. I know that most of us are not earning that much but a big help. Thank you for dropping by.

@hereandthere Yes, I also joined that site and paid once but I did not continue my activities there. When I came back, the site was nowhere to be found. Thank you for dropping by. Let's enjoy the new myLot!

I happened to read a discussion in mylot about Bubblews after mylot stopped paying, so I went to Bubblews. Then yesterday I read about mylot is paying again from Bubblews, so here I come again. I'm glad mylot is taken charge by the original founder who decided to make this site paying again. I was not very active in old mylot as I was busy at work. I only participated more when my workload was not so heavy. I didn't need to rely on my online earnings in those days. Now that I have quit my office job and become a work from home mum, online earnings seem to be more important to me now. I hope I can find more time to participate here. Besides the earnings, I really enjoy writing and communicating with others in mylot, it's a friendly community, having the earnings is like giving me an excuse to stay here.

@ARIES1973 Thank you. It isn't only money, but we have a lot of fun here. I think when you need a break from your work, mylot is a good place to go.

Thank you for dropping by. We can have a little from here. I personally was more active before but I still love this place so I am coming every now and then. Good luck to you my friend. Hope you would be able to earn something from the site and from other online activities as well. Have a great day!

I did not go away from mylot even after it changed its format. It is always fun to share my views on discussions started by mylotters/newbies. I did not find any other site like mylot. The way we interact here on discussions, is not available on any other site. Many old mylotters are on bubblews, however, I did not find it interesting like mylot, so I rarely visit bubblews.

@dpk262006 You are right. Nothing can compare to myLot. I have been visiting the site from time to time too. Although I found so many spammy contents that prevented me from coming in often. I am glad that they started changing the rules for the benefit of everyone. Thank you for dropping by.

Tried so many different sites since myLot, and nothing could ever compare. myLot just feels like home.

I tried a few other sites before just giving up. Mylot was my first home and nothing could truly compare to it. I am glad mylot is back, and hopefully we can relocate all of the missing mylot faces. When it comes to the layout, I wasn't too crazy about the old layout. I think the simpler the layout the better.

What I like most with the old layout was that we can customize our profile page by the use of html. That was really fun posting our own pictures, banners and videos. I really like that. I hope the site would restore that part. Thank you for dropping by.
