It's "Just" A Forum... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587)   ranked 223 out of 32,281 in mylot.com4 months ago

...is what one member said to me about myLot. And, I guess for them, it may be true. In fact, for many people, myLot may be "just" a forum.

But to me, it is so much more...

It's a place to hang with friends, and make new ones.

It's a place to come when I need answers to things that are puzzling me.

It's a place to let out the frustrations of the day.

It's a place to come and offer help to others.

It's a place to explore new ideas.

It's a place to learn about others, and how they deal with life's little (and sometimes not-so-little) problems.

But to me, it is mostly about sharing, and caring, and giving. It is THE place I go to for almost anything I need...advice, companionship, all the emotional and psychological needs I might require. There are some people here that I can almost physically sense their presence when we are talking.

And sometimes it is a hard place; people here can be rude, or they may just be direct about what they think (which at times can be misconstrued for rudeness), and you may get advice you really don't want or would rather not hear.

But "just" a forum?

For me, the answer is an unqualified "No".

What is myLot for you?

Hey there my friend. You really said it well. The people on this site have helped me through some really rough times. I am comforted in knowing that if I need a shoulder to lean on, people like you will be there. Thank you for being there. Big huggers to you.

No way!
A forum never warms up and gets the atmosphere that myLot has.
MyLot is an online family and we all help each other out and pick each other up when we trip and get bruised.

They are the older brothers and sisters and aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and there is always another seat ready for the next one who 'lands' here. It might get heated some days but isn't that the sme in any family? whistle

Oh and we all know what 'I can almost physically sense their presence when we are talking.' means now don't we? lol

Just a forum?? NEVER!! This site means a LOT to me. Its the second place I visit when I am sad, just to forget all the woes and worries of day. It is exhilarating writing responses here and participating in query based topics. Yes, it is a forum and its attracting feature is, there are thousands of people online everytime, with their fingers "ever ready" to help us out from all over the world!! I like this diversity feature beholding unity. I seek answers to my queries and have never been disappointed. In a nutshell, myLot RoCkZ!!

i'm not sure how to describe mylot exactly.it is different.
i get a kick out of reading other people's threads,you never know what will come up daily.it is really great for advice though,if you want input on an idea.

thumbupthumbupI agree with you 100000000%!!! I think you just aout covered all of what mylot is to me. It is also MY Sanctuary, a placei come to when i'm sad, happy, need to just talk to someone. My friends are always here, so I always have someone to talk to. I picture in my mind what my friends'look' like, & for the most part I am never very far off once I finally see their pics. I love this place, I don't ever se me leaving permanently.. Great post...Lorithumbup

Hi Lamb, while I agree with you that this place should not merely be a forum, which I assume to mean a serious place for discussion, I think forum participants should not just ask trivial questions that we don't even ask our friends. I've had fun discussing an assortment of topics; I've learnt a lot; got a couple of new friends but I just hope that people are more creative in their topics. Instead of asking "What do you cook?", you might want to ask "Have you tried using bananas in your cooking?" - something like that.

NOTE: If the topic/question above is similar to an actual topic posted by someone earlier, it's purely coincidental.


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587)   ranked 223 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

I try to avoid the simple discussions...just have no interest in them.

Hi Lamb,

Sometimes I think myLot is only a question and answer session. One ask and the rest answered it. Period. Nothing more, nothing else. And that is always happen here lately.

But when I am with my friends, it is like sitting at the restaurant and chitchatting about any topics. It is enjoyable. Talk and share common knowledge or interest. The only thing that doesn't exist here (compared when you are at restaurant) is pretty girls we can pweeitlol.

Happy mylotting and have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Sandra1952 (1422)   ranked 83 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

You hit on the secret ingredient, akuler. The most best part of Mylot is the time spent with friends - real friends, that is, not the ones who only want to add you to send referral links.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Sandra1952 (1422)   ranked 83 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

What a great analogy - like being in a restaurant. I love it, and you also seem to realise that the secret ingredient that makes mylot more than 'just a forum' is the friends. By that, I mean real friends of course, not the ones who spam you as soon as you accept them.


myLot reputation of 92/100. akuler (1212)   ranked 1,220 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

Yeah ... when you have a good friends here (and I definitely believe you have a lot), you just love to talk about anything. Our body may thousand miles apart but our thought and feeling are at the same place. Make this myLot become a virtual restaurant. Enjoy it and instead of have to spend money, you making money here.


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11784)   ranked 2,594 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

Great comparison!
A restaurant!
And at the end of the meal, myLot pays the bill! droollol


myLot reputation of 92/100. akuler (1212)   ranked 1,220 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

Hi mysdianait,

Eat till you full. Don't be shy. And no need to worry. Mylot can pays it alllol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4062)   ranked 153 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

It would be so funny if we were all at the same table chit chatting, I don't think there'd be too many awkard pauses. It is definitely getting more fun on here, akuler for instance is just beginning to join in in a different way suddenly and I think it's because we are getting to know our friends better.


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587)   ranked 223 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

It would be something to have all of us in a restaurant somewhere, just chatting and carrying on...kind of like we all do here.

I just hope they don't have lamb on the menu... doh


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11784)   ranked 2,594 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

Hi thea,

Sometimes I can't join the rambling because of my limited resource of English vocabulary and understanding. I don't want to mumbling about something to only known by myselflol.

I never try it before and hope they can serve itlol. Just curious how its taste. Emmmmmmmmmmmdrool

The pennies are fine, but the real currency earned to me is the wonderful friends I have made through the years. They are something no one can put a real price on.

Very well stated! I really enjoy Mylot for lots of reasons-mainly it is full or of a variety of opinions and such that you really couldn't find anywhere else on the net. I enjoy the part time "work" involved and have never found a site like it. You are right that we can often times find support on here, as nearly everyone has related experience somehow, even to the most controversial topics.


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587)   ranked 223 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

I've said many times, myLot is my "home". I find myself deeply affected by many people here; in truth, I am closer to many of them than most of my real family.


myLot reputation of 97/100. princess07031980 (1850)   ranked 767 out of 32,281 in mylot.com  4 months ago

That is great that you can find so much comfort here in MyLot. I have definitely met some great people too, and what a better place to express anything and everything that crosses your mind?
