The Name is MyLot!

I wonder how the site must have got its name. How is the name meaningful to it? Can it be translated as my luck? What were in the mind of its founder when he thought of this name?

I don't know what was in the mind of the owner, exactly, but the domain name existed before he acquired it. It was originally a site for the sale of garden furniture and equipment. Some time in 2005 or 2006, the domain name was sold to the current owners who used it to start the site you see. The word 'lot' describes a piece of land (which is why it was appropriate for a gardening site) but it can also describe one's destiny in life or a group of people with whom one associates. Perhaps that last meaning is the one which is most appropriate to this site.

@JolietJake I have a feeling that @Crash did once give what might be considered to be the 'official' reason for the name.

@Marty1 This discussion has inspired a full and never-before-revealed explanation from the owner!
I noticed the discussion about myLot's name origin recently, and felt like it would be fun to share a story that's been kept secret for over a decade and never...

I see my account site, the place where I do my thing, i.e., write posts, as 'my lot'.

I couldn't agree more. MyLot most certainly gives us a place to do all that you say.

Interesting thought. But I always thought that the platform allows each one of us have its own "lot" or space to start discussions.
