I hope I am, because I am now an EX-BUBBLER! Sad because the site that helped me hone my writing skills has finally sunk and gone down the ocean. I have always been informed by a good friend @rebel_woman06 (Bubblews) or @SIMPLYD but the hard-headedness in me always prevailed. I stuck through Bubblews through thick and thin, but when I opened the tablet and checked the site, I was surprised to read their final message of farewell. Then I thought of this site, which the pretty lady always mentioned as her first site for 3 years now, I pondered and right there and then, made myself an account, so here I am. I am neither a plagiarizer nor a spammer, so, am I welcome here? I am also glad many of my bubbling friends are here.

Of course. Nobody has ever been unwelcome and the people who wrote bad things on Bubblews about this site probably feel a bit silly now.

@BethieAnnie I haven't come across rude people here yet. But I'm not afraid of encountering any. I'm sure I can defend myself. :-)

@MALUSE there are rude people everywhere. If you can keep up with them, that's great. Eventually, people learn, right?

I don't ever remember seeing anything bad about Mylot. I was a Bubblews member for 3 years. Of course, I tend not to read negative derogatory content. I have had mixed reactions here, I think the more experienced people might be annoyed at some who are new, and don't understand the differences between the two sites. Some are helpful, just a couple rude. All and all I love what I have seen.

Of course you are welcome here! MyLot is accepting refugees from troubled areas with open arms. Genuinely, Bubblews members are welcome here because they already know a great deal about how a site like this works and so, not only will they find old friends here but they will easily make new ones. There are a few differences between the two sites. First of all, there are no limits on how many discussions you may post or how many (or how few) characters/words you must use. Both of those are entirely left to common sense here! Here is nearly all the information and links you will need to get started and find your way around easily. Inevitably, it takes a little while but this should make it quicker. You'll also find people here very friendly and helpful so any further questions you have will always find an answer.
A quick user guide to MyLot with answers to some Frequently Asked Questions, a short history of MyLot and other notes Pages Useful Links Welcome to MyLot MyLot is a social site which rewards you for taking part in discussions. There are members from all ov

You are most welcomed to mylot. Do detoxify yourself first to remove any toxins left from bubblews as many ex bubblews have flooded mylot with topics on bubblews.

Are you welcome? Well lets see. First you need to "redeem". That takes about a year. Then you will wait for 30 days no, 60 days, make that 90 days, infinity days? - joking In myLot you are welcome as soon you put your foot in the doorway and well be pleasantly rewarded without asking, begging or being forced to eat taco's.

well, I was still on $14.20 since December 2014 on bubblews, and I did not feel enraged with the slow paced redemption there. If it will take that long, say 3 months, to reach the minimum, I can manage. ; BTW, I do not like tacos and I do not beg too. wahahaha!

Hi Ingrid, I'm so pleased to see you here. You know that I feel exactly the same way as you, but we could see that coming, couldn't we? Anyway, this is a lovely site too and you will see a lot of familiar faces, and everyone is so friendly whether you know them already or not. Why did you choose that new user name? Anyway, welcome , and I see that @Owlwings has given you all the info you will need.

thank you my dear friend. Well, RIDING is still INGRID, the ING followed the RID. The BET is the first 3 letters of my family name, but I am ingrid. can I change my username or it that permanent now? I also got dismayed when Bublews demise was flashed on screen; I expected that, and I also imagined myself making an account here.

We are quick to roll out the red carpet for anyone who will write and read and interact. Most of the day today I imagine we will here personal stories about the close of Bubblews, but there are lots of other things to read here as well. I hope you will enjoy our site. It does belong to all of us, including you, welcome aboard.

@ridingbet First it was Persona , but didn't like the style there so i went inactive and just be at Bubblews until i was informed myLot has returned to paying and that's the time i was rarely at Bubblews already . I am glad it came back just as when Bubblews is becoming a ghost town . But i am happy too i found Bubblews before myLot stopped paying two years ago. I shall always be grateful to these sites .

I was thick headed with mylot when a friend of mine asked me to join bubblews. but when mylot then stop paying, then that's when i joined bubblews. You will like here since most people here can be engaging and would want to have conversations. You were popular on bubblews, they will love you here.

No, it is not you who first told about this site. It was @SIMPLYD and she told me about this since last year yet. I told her I was a faithful bubbler and I did not want to shift course. There were others too who wanted me to join but I had deaf ears. Only when I read that the bubbling site finally sunk did I decide to come here.
