What was the main reason you were interested in mylot? Was it the money? To chat on another forum? New friends? What motivated/motivates you to participate here? I joined mylot as a procrastination tool between freelance projects :)For me it is a perfect way to fill spare time while making money. I have really grown to love mylot! What about you?

Yeah...the first reason was definitely to try and make a little extra money...However..now that I am here and have contributed and wrote everyday...I am enjoying it. I have to say that it can become somewhat infectious...but it helps me to write everyday too...

First it was obviously because of the money and then I liked it here so now I make some posts a day just when I've nothing else to do.

IT's true - the money is the main reason everyone posts.. until the mylot bug strikes! Then you can't do anything without a mylot window open :)

My mate said that he had been on here asking whether horses can see in the dark (as he had just got a horse and he need to know!). He said he got some sensible answers. Thought I'd check it out. Have to admit, it has become part of my daily webtrawl almost immediately.

So can horses see in the dark?? ITs true this is a good place to find answers to.. just about anything! Mylot is also part of my daily webtrawl - I can't do anything until I have checked in here :)

At first it was the chance of earning money. But as time went by its more about just meeting and talking to people all over the world. I have been learning so much here, and been having a good time too. There are alot of terrific people here on mylot, and mylot keeps making things better for us. I was getting bored for awhile before the new changes, now I am happy again.

I know what you mean - I also went through a stage of boredom... but ever since the stupid discussions started dissapearing it's a lot more interesting.... There are terrific people here - I guess that's why we all have so much fun doing this :)

Me too :) If mylot stopped paying do you think you would still stay here? I really enjoying chatting for money - but I'm not sure if I would spend even half as much time here without pay... Thanks for your response :)

Surely for earning money in a funny way. I like to partecipate in mylot discussions and I'm learning more about English language :)
• South Africa
11 Dec 06
Yes I think it's so wonderful that people can learn english here through the discussions they have ~ maybe one day they will have a Spanish Mylot and I can learn more about that :)

I also love watching my ratings going up - it's very addictive. I find myself setting mini goals and then after I have reached them I keep posting anyway :)

I will admit I first came here because of the money. But since I have been here I like more of the discussion than the check. Actually I have never got a check, so I guess I can't say that I know what that is like...
• South Africa
10 Dec 06
And if mylot stopped paying...? Would you still chat here or would you stop? Hey don't worry about the check - it will come soon enough :)
• United States

i'm drawn to it as i think it's interesting that we could participate and get paid for it at the same time. i used to go online to play games anyway...and the thought that i could get money while responding to discussions made me so addictive since then.
• South Africa

I was also interested in the fact that you can chat and get paid for it! Mylot is very addictive... I think we need a support group! Thanks for your response :)

I didn't know about mylot sometime back until i got a referance from a guy on orkut.com . Actually i wanted to get a premium account from rapidshare to download files at more ease and that guy told me i can do that by earning money here and then buying a premium account with paypal,so that why i joined. But now i found out its more than just earning, you get so many new friends here and chatting makes it easier to be in touch with friends and its quite much like a social networking site too.Its been pretty good for me and also for a lot of others.

I actually stumbled upon myLot by accident. Just surfing round on the web. I signed up without really knowing what I was getting into! And am glad I have as I love the discussions and also the networking that a site like this provides. Am a big fan of myLot and have been telling my friends about it ever since I joined.
