Running a serious business is definitely not the same as running a lemonade stall. I guess many people, possibly including us, tend to over estimate our real capabilities. Maybe the owner should have made a more thorough preparation, especially on funding. That was what I perceived as lacking.

There are people who disagree with you on myLot being the best site. They are entitled to their opinion(s). I was not active during the past week not because I felt there are much better sites. I had other pressing commitments.

I am very aware of may users here who would not agree with my opinion about myLot being the best. I have my reasons for deciding that it is. I joined almost two years ago and they have always paid on time. To those who complain that it is a slow earning site I suggest they look at what those that are getting paid every month are doing - they are not asking about favorite pizza toppings every week for sure!

I did notice you were absent but so far I hadn't drawn any conclusions and I don't usually send a search party after only a week. Others here can confirm that I do after a longer break though

Search party? Thanks for the thought. Most probably it will be hard for you to find me as I am using different user names as I have my personal reasons for doing so. Do not worry, they are not related to cheating. Maybe you will have to use pizza to lure me out.

When friends are absent for too long on here I buzz them through PMs

In your case I will add the pizza too!

The thought that SOP is a scam site never crossed my mind. I know it is not always easy to run a business. It could have created some waves in the paid to post industry but I think the owner's inexperience led to the problems facing the site. Most probably people will have less trust on the owner after this.

I received the news update from a friend, who is a friend of the owner.

Based on the information that I received I think it is highly unlikely that pending payouts will be fulfilled. On the other hand I cannot predict the future. There is a slim hope. Maybe they should pray that the current owner gets the necessary funds to pay them.

I hope the admin will do its best to pay them. I'm glad I was never really active in that site. It is hard to know which site will turn out into a scam eventually. I'm glad that mylot is really great in this paid to post business.

The main question is who is going to pay the members currently waiting for payment? There may also be other bills like hosting charges. SOP changed servers too early in its life, and that was the second thing that made me extremely cautious.

With the negative views on SOP the current owner may not get a buyer, Even if I have the funds and resources I know it is not easy to regain the trust and confidence of the public.

Yeah, I would rather build a site from scratch and build up my own reputation as compared to trying to fix someones past mistakes!

I do not think so too. The owner had no intention to scam anyone but the damage has been done. Years ago I tried to revive a business which had a bad reputation under the previous owner. It was a losing battle and eventually I had to let it go. I can visualise the problems any new owner has to overcome to make people trust the name again.

An updated earnings may be an effort by the owner to convince presently active members to remain active. This can help in presenting a better picture to any prospective buyer. The owner may also be having some positive thinking, that he will eventually get the money to clear pending payments.

The owner made a mistake early on in SOP's life. This affected some of the trust some people have on the site. My first impression was the lack of revenue sources like advertisements. The rate offered was relatively higher than what may thought myLot could offer. So the question about sustainability arose. Hopefully the owner will be successful in future ventures.

At the beginning a few people praise SOP and so I made the decision to have a look. I became a member with a number less than 600. After looking around I made the conclusion it may not last long. It is not the only one to have suffered this fate. Running sites like this requires an indepth knowledge and dedication.

Sometimes I like to visit other sites to get the feel and make comparisons if there are any. Otherwise I cannot really say myLot as one of the best, if not the best. Whenever possible I try to experience things myself instead of just listening to what others say. Sometimes members or ex-members complain on another site but it was actually their fault.

I thought it would be better for members to know the updates on the site so they are more prepared when big changes happen to the site. I do not know everything about what is going on because I was never active on SOP, but I believe trusted news should be shared. At least those who want to continue with the site have a fair idea on the direction the site is moving to.
