This is the about only site like this I've been on & I've been here for at least 4 yrs ( the only way I know is because I loaded some pictures that long ago ). Myspace went quick since it crashed my connection all the time.

Well, the thing about Mylot is you can always take a break and comeback whenever you want. They wont delete your account or anything, you can just comeback and start up again whenever. I dont blame you for being burned out, my mailbox can atest everyday to how busy you have been here, even though I dont feel much like responding to too many discussions at least I come around more often then I have the last few months. I think for me work has kept me to busy and/or to tired to spend to much time here the last few months. By all means it wouldnt hurt anything for you to take a break and spend some time doing other things for a while and if and when you feel like coming back mylot will still be here and most of your friends will too. Hugs, Tianna

yeah its great mylot doesnt delete you for taking a break.. those sites drove me nuts because it would always be sites i wouldnt use often that would do it and i would have to re-sign up and ugh! the hassle!

One of two things happens to me when I come across a new site. Either I get on it, and right away I discover that it's really not for me, or I get on it, absolutely love it, find all kinds of cool things to do on it, and stick with it for years to come. I have been on MyLot since November 2006, and Gather since May 2006.

yeah it seems like i can usually tell pretty quick if i will spend a lot of time there or if i will log in maybe a half a dozen times more before quitting

i didnt expect you would feel this way as you are quite an active person in mylot, i know you often have several problems with your health and parents and electronic items, but then you were still alive, keep the same spirit and dont dull out now... i have not really tried any other sites before for i was not interested, but since my hubby introduced mylot to me nearly a year ago, i sort of liked it and am just continuing with it though not much active, but i do log in at least twice or thrice in a week since this site is a relaxation spot for me and you were the only one i knew well among all the others in mylot...

Work is first always, do concentrate on them, but dont forget to have fun in between which is the one that is going to keep you alive when you are fed up...

I am sorry to hear that my friend. I have never experienced that online yet and i hope that i won't have to. My only problem is my pc often gets busted and it takes quite awhile to get it up and running again. Gave a nice day my friend.

i guess your computer is making sure you take breaks then lol.. yeah if i had to deal with my computer breaking down often i dont think i would get tired of any sites because i would be missing them a lot when i couldnt sign in

I don't know but usually a few months but lately i haven't been on any sites lately since i've been busy preparing for the baby and am staying with my folks. So yeah things have been hectic recently lol... but i usually get bored of a site within a few months =P But mylot is one of the sites that i try to get on time to time ;)

Well, I have been with sites like that where I have experienced Burn out a time or two, and had to either quit that site, or take a Break from it, but I have never been able to take much of a break from here. I have been a member here of myLot now for almost 2 1/2 yrs. and this is one of the best places to be. Even if I have to take a break for a couple of days I come right back in ready to post and have Fun. I have met so many wonderful people here I cannot imagine being anywhere else. But the beauty of it is, we have a choice to be as active, or not as active in here as we wish, and if you decide to take a Break, I hope you do not forget about this site as well. We really would miss you.

It depends on a few things I guess...like the site, whats goin on in my real day to day life etc....I've been here for over 2 yrs and havent burnt out yet...been at Facebook for over a yr and havent burnt out there yet either...Myspace though, I was fed up with that place after just a couple weeks..

i think i have too much time on my hands to spend on places to where i get burnt out instead of some people that dont get on much so they dont have the chance to burn out quick
