Do you still post to non paying messageboards?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532) 2 years ago

Despite of the fact that Mylot is a paying discussion community, I cant deny the fact that I still post to those free messageboards, since its hard to find peers of the same interest here. It still feels great to talk to the fans of my fave videogames, TV shows and bands on their official forums. Sadly I cant pull people from there to here. I dont have the courage to convince some of my peers to try mylot.

I used to post to a forum, or actually two, and I went back after I found out about this site and told people about it. However, whether they are here or not I am not sure. I don't think I divulged my username here, or if I did it was only to one person. In any case, some people are better convinced then others. Then again from my experience with the forums, I was more obsessed with them so it'd be one or the other, here or there lol.

I dont know why I cant get rid of some of my favorite forums despite of the fact they dont pay. I stopped making discussions there though, I rather serve it to mylot.
I just love their photoshop games and stuff.

myLot is my online workspace where I do a lot of writing. In other forums, I go there for special information and just to be around people who share my interests. I don't really need to post in any of them until I have a question or I find some topic very interesting.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I was only in forums if I want to talk about my certain special interest as well, Video game discussions were ignored in mylot, so I have n choice but g to the official forums.

I actually host a couple message boards within a very large forum. Though I have not posted there because most of the people I know are on facebook and it doesn't make sense for me to post on the other when I don't know anyone on there anymore. Though I do post on one or two as they have very quick responses as they have a huge following on several and you are sure to get the answer you desire.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I think one of the reasons why we stay in forums, is to get responses to a certain interest, lets say a TV show or a videogame, Its a struggle to get responses on those topics but If I can get people from those boards here, I think Mylot will be super perfect.

It depends on how interesting the site is. An example is facebook. I visit the site and post to my friends wall because i have friends there. I visit regularly because i want to even though i'm not paid anything. On the other hand i post to discussions in mylot because i am rewarded in the process. If there's another site like mylot and the only difference is one of them don't pay i wouldn't be a hypocrite to say that i would choose the non paying over the paying site. But then again, it's a different story when overtime you develop a since of loyalty to a site, made some friends that you share interest with because when that happens, money becomes a second option.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

isnt it good to have all your facebook friends here in mylot. That would make your life easier plus everyone will be earning but its hard to convince people, even your closest friends. If I can make my forum friends move here. I will quit all those forums.

Five years ago I was very active on an Danish messageboard. I was there almost every day and I really enjoyed reading and participating in the discussions. I am still a member of the site and I like to read some of the discussions, but I don't spend as much time there as I used to. I really like MyLot, because it gives me the chance to talk to people from a lot of different countries and learn more about other cultures, but sometimes I like to discuss the local issues from my country with other Danes and I am able to do that on the Danish messageboard.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I cant talk about Peruvian political issues in this place since I have no one to relate it here. Luckily I am half Filipino and there is enough Filipino members here to address my issues about Filipino issues. Because there is enough Filipinos here, I have no more reasons to join any Filipino forums if I want to talk about Filipino issues but my Peruvian side is not satisfied here. Sometimes I was tempted to search about Issues in India since we have a majority of Indians here. I can relate with American Issues since their news were all over the place.

Yes I do, most of my friends are in that messageboards, so for me to communicate to them is to still post on that board. But I am in the process of convincing them to join MyLot.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I really dont know why its hard to convince friends to join mylot, If i can make them move here, I can get to talk to the topics of my interest and still get responses.

There is one messageboard that I've been at for about 7 years now. It's mostly a music/television show forum. I don't think I would ever stop posting there based on the fact that I've been there so long, developed friendships, and it's a place for a less formal style of writing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Id that the discussion board were people are flaming each other and reads spoilers about a certain TV show? I was a member of a certain messageboard of that nature. Its a TV forum as well.


myLot reputation of 73/100. Jaluke (631)  2 years ago

Well the forum is Idolforums.com

It covers American Idol, Glee, So You Think You Can Dance, Survivor, Big Brother, politics, and basically anything else you can think of. The flaming really isn't that bad because there are a good number of moderators who keep things under control.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Oh its a different forum but I know that forum, I'm from survivorsucks(ironically that board is a TV fanboard and survivor contestants were even members of it.)Basically that place only flame noobs but despite of the verbally abusive members I was there for 10 years because of the contestants posting there. I think Idol forums is a rival againts "vote for the worst" Have you heard about vote for the worsts?


myLot reputation of 73/100. Jaluke (631)  2 years ago

Yeah. I've heard of Vote For The Worst. Most people at Idolforums thinks it's a big joke and most people at VFTW think Idolforums is a big joke.

And I actually am registered at Survivor Sucks. It sucks because I started posting there recently and seriously the week before the finale, a troll posted the boot order everywhere and spoiled the ending of the season for me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I know tat until now VFTW and IdolForums were still flaming each other, Sometimes I was kinda thinking tat VFTW is not a force to be underestimated because there were times that they were able to eliminate fan favorites.

That troll is already banned and his existence was already doomed because he was Ip banned. I think he was trolling because he is a bitter Russell fan. How fun it would be if we can get people from those boards here in mylot. I missed Idol for 10 weeks but I'm planning an episode marathon.


myLot reputation of 73/100. Jaluke (631)  2 years ago

It's the only season I've been spoiled on. I think it actually helped me not be as furious with the result than I would've been had I been completely surprised. But I still don't like being spoiled.

And if you mean Season 9 of American Idol I honestly wouldn't bother. I'm a HUGE fan of the show and I've seen every episode of every season. This season is the first season I've stopped watching. It's absolutely awful.

I still post on the boards though as I said because I've been there for so long and there's so much more to it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Its the last season of Idol with Simon on it. I was a member of another forum and I was there even before I reached puberty but now all the people are gone, Its just me and the admin, Imagine its only the 2 of us. Its hard to leave a board you grow up with unless you can make the people there move here.

I post on non-paying boards. Even though my blogger.com blogs are monetized, I only earn a few cents per day, often not even that. What matters most to me is community, not $.


myLot reputation of 89/100. rhodzptc (788)   ranked 7,545 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

As long as you enjoy what you doing my friend, same to me here there are times that I posted more in y online games forum than here, knowing the fact that I could earn from here than those other forums.

I think we have something in common like those games that have you been saying, so do you like playing online games. You have a point there and you give me the idea why not we create a category for games since there are lot of people here are aware of online games I guess.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

The games I like already have categories but no one is interested so I have no choice but to stick with the real community even if their non paying, At least i get to give my suggestions to the game developers, My fave games are not online games, I'm a survival horror fan and Fighting games fan. Those are my fave genres but I also play sims because I love to play God and I can do that in sims.
