Are MyLot users less intelligent than Yahoo/Answers users ?

I am a level 5 Y/Answers user , I enjoy it very much and I must say the quality of discussions is much superior to those in MyLot , inspite of Yahoo not paying anything .The richness of the cultural exchange on Y/answers more than makes up for the lack of payment , especially payment in the order of MyLot , but recently(10 days) I got "hooked up" and Im not using Yahoo that much anymore . So are there any Yahoo/Answers users here ? What do you think of MyLot discussions compared to Yahoo , in scope ,diversity,scientific content ,and attractiveness ? Do you feel MyLot users are causing inferiority of MyLot to Yahoo/Answers or other similar sites ?

Yes even i think that. Here people are very nasty and they just want to move ahead and check other discussions. Also yahoo answers is much more geniune and neater then this. Sometimes it feels like there is no moderator to check the comments made by the users here in mylot. Anywayz Cheers!!

One point for MyLot is the possibility of adding comments , which is not possible in Yahoo!/answers once you submit an answer (only one answer per user per question) Maybe that's because Yahoo is primarily a QnA site while MyLot is more of a discussion forum .

Wow I totally forgot the EDIT feature , where you can even delete something already posted ,that is as long as the question is open for answering (until a best answer is chosen) However appending comments to other people's answers is not possible ,so in this aspect MyLot is more fun . But I kind of miss the quality of the questions on Yahoo because they give opportunity to show and exercise brain-muscle .

You are so right. Plus yahoo is a little better organized then mylot. I hate having to weed through all this stuff before I find something interesting to talk about.

I am still new to mylot, but I think so far I prefer yahoo. The discussions appeal to me more. I will admit that some are just goofy. Most however are intelligent. On mylot it seems that people are just writing stuff in order to make a little extra cash.

Thats what I thought , too . I signed up for this site 5 months ago ,when I saw the quality of discussions here I never logged on again until 10 days ago,when,out of curiosity I started using my account and posting discussions here to see how much I could make . But yahoo is much more fun and informative , and the best thing of all is when your answer gets chosen as "best answer" ! I just cant get enough of that !

Yes I love it when my answer gets chosen as best. I think that yahoo is alot better. I am going to give this a little longer before I decide if I am just not going to get on here anymore.

I became a member of Yahoo Answers yesterday. So far I am impressed with the quality of questions. Of course like everywhere there are silly or disgusting questions, but overall people seem to care about the questions they post. I will still use MyLot though. They can be difficult to find, but there are quality posters here at MyLot.

They care about the questions and also care about answering ,try to post a question you need help answering ,you will be surprised at how many people respond and do their best to help you and to get "best answer"

I have never used Yahoo Answers, so I wouldn't know how they work. However here at myLot, I can see that being paid brings in 2 type of people: Those who only want to be paid and post alot of spam, and others who are here to have a good time rather then getting paid. I enjoy using these kind of sites because here I can pratice my english, seeing as it is not my first language.

English is not my first language either , I also like these sites for the language practice ,but what I like more is the cultural connection with people from all over the world ,I find it very satisfying when a post I make is appreciated .
