Missing in action.... Where are they today I wonder. With all the changes going on around us the past few days/weeks I wonder what has happened to a lot of the members here? Why are they missing? What was their lines of thought as they went M.I.A.? Of my 69 friends on my list there has to be about 20 or more than have been inactive for a few days up to weeks. These are members that usually post and respond daily for a couple hours. I'm wondering if the recent rash of mylot clamping down on their guidelines may have ran them off for a bit. I'm thinking then when and if they return they will be in shock from the up coming changes. Does anyone else notice their friends disappearing for some reason as of late? I miss a lot of their discussions comments and responses. Thanks all and have fun here. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

Missing in action???...LOL... People that can't be located?? Well... GrandPa Bob, my guess is ...your missing friends are there in other sites that claim to pay much bigger amount than myLot. Probably some are sooo busy with other 'real' activities not 'virtual' like this one. Some maybe are on vacation. Well, i'll be inactive this coming April too. I will accompany old father to visit family and have a tour. Soo... i'll be M.I.A too next month!

I am a little behind due to having a day off yesterday and most of today as it was sunny so I was out with my dog and out in the garden, planting my little flowers. Yesterday it was my birthday and although I wasn't really busy I went out for lunch and cooked a roast dinner, so I had a day off. I might not be here as much as I was now the days are longer and lighter but I will still be here!

Don't want to make you jealous but it's lovely in Engladn today and all my little plants are happy and healthy and settled into their new homes, lol. I think this is why you are missing your pals, we're all desperate to get out in the fresh air after a long cold winter.

Many of my friends are inactive too.I never didn't start a lot of discussions but always i try response to my friends..I always look at them new topics.bu I like response to old topics too and I go often to my friends profile so I saw when they sign up to mylot.Most of them they don't come anymore or they come for whole without doing nothing......maybe only they check them downlines earnings.Some of them they had always quality discussions and responses the truth is i miss them.They can be busy o just enjoy other sites. From the other site I find some new active,good with quality post and response new friends .......like you for example.

I've noticed that some have disappeared too. Know what? The woman that introduced me to myLot and has me as one of her referrals, vanished on me too. Hmmm...what bites my butt more is the ones on here that never respond to my discussions. I'm not talking new friends ;). I'm referring to the ones I've had for a while. Also noticed lordwarwizard has not been on. Bummer.

I've been wondering about that as well.Some of my friends haven't logged in for quite some time now.I always figure they may be on vacation or something and surely they will be back sooner or later. Then on the other hand....maybe they just got tired of it all and moved on to something els. Just like you....I miss a lot of their discussions and responses. I wonder if they even know that they are being missed or maybe they just don't care. Whatever their reason.....I'm sure it's a good one.

I don't have so many friends over here. But yes, I have also noticed that some of the friends are inactive ummmm rather most of them are inactive. I don't know why they are? Well, people are just coming in and going out. That's the life. But here the people like you, most caring and loving are rare who feel that whats the loneliness and think about the friends. God bless you!

I've been M.I.A for the last few days. I havent been postin much but thats just because I've been rather busy makeing friends mad at me & goin on tragic dates with boreing guys. When I read the title & first line of your post I was thinkin that you was talkin about soldiers. Hahaha. I started readin it think "yeah, we should be able to find at least some of the soldiers from like the Vitnam war," Then I realised that it had nothin to do with soldiers, it was about mylot memebers. I have noticed alot of people on my friends list haven't logged in for quite some time. I delete alot of them if they are no longer active. I dont know were they all went. I know several of them said that it was getting boreing & that there was no good discussions left to respond to. Guess they should've added you to there friends list then they would've had plenty of great discussions to respond to!

You are not the only one noticing that. Most of my friends are not active almost half of them. I dont really know why they been so active maybe because of boredom for as I have experience it too or maybe because they saw other site that offer big money.

Could be the boredom factor. I find when I get bored I surf all over the site. I look under all my interrest groups and respons to 1 in each. That takes a lot of time. By then I'm ready to start a discussion myself. Thanks for your response also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

May be some of them are busy with outdoos activities as spring has arieved. Or may be some of them have found better site to spend time and earn good money. But I hope they wil be back sometime. I miss them.

Yes I have noticed but only a half dozen or so are MIA. I have been a little slower as well and I will be posting a new thread very soon to explain why I will be MIA also but I sincerely hope we don't loose our myLotters, this can be a very fun time to talk to people from all walks of life. myLot has been a bit tough on me as well by dropping my star and ratting one day I'm blue then I'm red blue the next morning and for two days now I remain at red, but my goodness it'll take more than that to keep me away. Take Care and Lets ALL keep myLot running Folks !!!

Being the weather is getting warmer, I won't be online much myself. If I go missing for a few days, it's cause I'm super busy outside b4 the heat really hits and drives me inside again. BTW...got all the sticks raked/picked up in my yard today and had a huge bonfire going tonite. My yard is now ready for the 1st mowing and from the looks of it, will be soon. lol

My grass is just starting to green up. Will be a couple weeks till I mow. had to take the mower to the shop as it is. The bolt holding the blade in place sheared off. need the hole drilled & tapped then a new screw put in place. That'll cost a lot more than likely. Hahahaha! I looked this evening at my Lily garden and I have 19 popping up already. My Gladiolas are starting to pop up also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!

I guess I haven't been around long enough to notice that many changes or mass exodus. You have given me food for thought, though. I think I will check on my friends that I haven't seen anything from lately. Glad you're still around Grandpa Bob!

I have noticed alot of my friends have went inactive. For the most part im not sad to see them go. They have weeded out the people who only see this site as a money maker. Makes it easier to find some fun people who actually like to chat.

The close possible reason maybe is because of the earning rate on mylot these days. Back when i first joined this site, i got around $0.02 per post, without any referral. I wasn't all that active anyway. But now i can get merely $0.01 for every post, plus having an active referral. But i guess that's fine.

I would be reasonably confident in saying that the M.I.A.'s are never to return. Many people are disappointed with the low earnings, and don't see any point to the effort they put into it. A pity they don't see the fun & companionship, and yes, even learning, that others like us get out of it.

I noticed that too and one friend of mine went on strike because she thought that most of her friends intentionally did not reply to her discussions. For about 2 weeks now, I just get very few responses. There was about 2 days wherein I thought that almost all of my friends deserted me but then I read your discussion about mylot having some problems so I felt okay then. If mylot has fixed the problem already then maybe a lot of our friends just went on vacation since its already summer here southeast asia and peak season for tourists.

Yes I noticed this also. I have only about 10 on my list that I see here daily. Maybe it has something to do with the weather getting nicer in some parts of the world and people are just now inside as much?
