can you really make money on mylot?

It is usually said that we are paid a cent for every discussions or the reponse we make but it is also said that the more the reposnses on the discussions the more money we are paid. It is quite confusing about the earning system here in mylot. But I must say that as the source of extra income it is working really great for me and if you are able to make a good number of referral then it would be really great cause this is one of the few sites in the internet that really pays it's member and that is also right on time.
