Rush hour on myLot

Is there a particular time of day when there is more "traffic" on myLot? I was here in the evening (my evening and I am 6 hours ahead of myLot time) yesterday and there was not a lot going on. When do you usually try to be here and do you prefer it when there are many people posting or when it is quiet? Are we even allowed to ask a lot of questions?

It isn't like it used to be. That's almost a year I have been back and sometimes it's like a morgue. At the end of.the month the usual rush to get to the $5 holy grail. During the day is good. I spend lots of time interacting with @ladyduck.

I guess it never got back to how it used to be after the total change. Those were good times - but then maybe I couldn't cope with that pace anymore as I'm not as quick as I was then I was here on Monday and there was an echo. Today seems busier. I'm an hour ahead of you but six ahead of US so maybe that makes a big difference now. I know her too. We are almost neighbours!

@JimBo452020 I saw your toilet paper post - had me in fits I noticed there are food topics regularly and "ggod morning" posts too - nothing much to discuss there, well not every darn day! It will take me a while to see who is still here I guess. I had made so many friends over the years and hope to find them again. I see you are working here during lockdown. Great idea that. Here we had 10 weeks strict lockdown a year ago from mid-March. Now we have restrictions and some things - swimming pools, gyms, sports centres - are still closed as are cinemas and no live concerts for a year either. Bars abd restaurants close at 6 pm and can then do delivery until 10 pm then curfew sets in until 6 am. Sad thing is that we still have a long way to go methinks.

@mysdianait It's harder work now lol Most of the funny stuff gets lost in translation And there are not many meaty discussions on controversial subjects to debate. But hey, you can make pennies describing your every meal, and what the weather is like as many times.as you want as 75 per cent of " discussions" go there.

Good morning Diana. Mornings (our European central time) are slow, because Americans sleep and there are not many active member around. The traffic pick up after 3 pm our time. I like the mornings to clear my notifications and to check the posts that I missed the day before. When the number of post increase it's hard to read them all and to keep clearing the notifications. I think that nowhere is written that we cannot ask questions. “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for..."

Good morning! (oh we need a smiley that is a coffee cup!) I made a coffee right now and decided to come here with it. to see what happens in the morning. I was concerned that I had asked too many questions all in one post I'm just the same offline, alqays inquisitive. On the other hand, you never learn anything if you don't ask

@mysdianait I had a coffee break one hour ago and I stayed longer in the kitchen and prepared a batch of "cantucci". I get lazy in the afternoon. I see people asking plenty of questions all the time, it has never been a violation. We need some more emoticons, a coffee cup for sure.

I haven't noticed any particular spike (though I've never done an hourly check - I'd need some fairly simple software to do that effectively), We have users from all round the globe, so there are probably several spikes which merge together to give a fairly even curve. What is remarkable is that the ratio of responses to discussions and comments to responses is remarkably stable (roughly 9 or 10:1 and 2:1 respectively).

I check the 'recent discussions' and 'recent activity', refreshing the pages often, to see what is happening but I've not done it often enough to get a better idea yet. I'm not even sure whether it's best to be here when it's quieter in order to catch up or when it's busier - but I will have plenty of spare time to get a plan

Hi there @allen0187 How are you doing? Good to see so many people from the past are still here! Do you prefer it when it's busy? I'm not sure yet as it might be too difficult to keep up with notifiers.

@allen0187 Yes I'm fine too thank you So far so good I seem to manage to be busy doing nothing many days I too am here on and off. Yesterday for most of the day and today I've only just arrived and am catching up right now. We had a new government sworn in today and that took my attention away from everything until now today.

I admit, I grinned at JJ's response. I talk more with people in the Philippines/Malaysia, so the best time for me to talk with them is in my evening between 8 pm and midnight. I am in the same time zone that myLot is in.

Yes his response was not very helpful to start with but then it became more interesting I was here later yesterday evening (I'm six hours ahead of myLot) and it was quite busy. Now it's my morning but I've only just arrived so I'm not really sure if there is anyone else or not. I will poke about when I've answered everyone here

Ask away. I don't think there is any rule about asking questions, so long as it's not a one liner post. As for times of the day when there is more or less traffic, I don't really think there IS one. Because people are on MyLot from around the world, different parts of the world will simply be online when others are not, and so I think the level of traffic around here is probably pretty static.

Yes I am thinking the same now too. I have been on every day at different times during this week, except for this morning, and I haven't noticed much difference at all from one time to another. I will just come on and off when I can in between other things. - and ask my questions too

I'm usually here by about 10am and stay around most of the day thereafter, I have noticed that it seem busier in the late hours like 9pm or so but by then I'm usually tired and ready to wind down.

@paigea there were less people this morning so I managed to keep u0p with notifiers. Then I had a break and I see so many came through while I was away. Trying to get through them all is taking a while and I haven't looked at any new stuff Maybe it's best to be here when no-one is around and catch up with everything - or maybe not

@Shiva49 Oh I have never heard of that one. I think though that it's best I stay only here as I'm not sure yet how much time I can be online every day. For me it must be fun and the earnings are a bonus. MyLot fits that description

I typically log on at various times during the day. I find mid afternoon early evening is when the site seems the most active. It also seems more active closer to the end of the month, because people appear to be scrambling for that final push to rake in that last little bit they need for payout.
