It's "Just" A Forum...  |
|
...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?

3. whizkid08 (550) | 4 months ago | 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!!

7. kevchua (753) | 4 months ago | 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.

The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587) | 4 months ago | I try to avoid the simple discussions...just have no interest in them.

Sandra1952 (1422) | 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.
| |
|
|
Sandra1952 (1422) | 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.
| |
|
|
akuler (1212) | 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.

thea09 (4062) | 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.

9. cher913 (13320) | 4 months ago | well, i like to make the pennies that i can get from here and i like to get advice and read other peoples opinions on things that concern me like the economy and learning how to save money. i also like some of the people here too.
| |
| |
|
|
The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587) | 4 months ago | 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.

10. princess07031980 (1850) | 4 months ago | 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.

|
The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2587) | 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.
| |
|
|
princess07031980 (1850) | 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?
