I'm starting to get a little excited as I'm nearing the 500 post mark. I mean, it is a MyLot milestone right? This means I'll now have the ability to copy and paste, which is one of the main things that I've been looking forward to. On another note, it also means that I'm probably spending too much time here!! *LoL* How did you feel when you hit 500 posts? Were you excited? Or was it nothing special?

why do people copy and paste? I don't really understand what the big deal is...why do people steal other people's posts? All my stuff is original, 100% written by me! (not trying to be mean, just wondering out loud...)

I'm pretty sure that you can be deactivated for plagiarizing another person's posts. I'm simply excited to be able to copy and paste URL's without having to worry about making mistakes while trying to type out the entire address.

I think the 100 mark is a big milestone!! That's when you get your star and you can see what your rating is. Congratulations on 100!!

Oh my gosh! LOL You think your spending too much time here? Look at my number and think about how much time I have spent. ha ha I am beginning to wonder if I have a life. LOL When I reached 500, myLot did not have the rule or restriction. It was one of those things when they posted the alert, I was wiping my brow because I had already reached that milestone. :) But I do know what you mean. There are times the I get giddy because my number reaches a certain level and I start dancing. :)

Even if I do spend too much time here, I think it's time well spent. I have a person on my friends list that has over 15,000 posts. I'm chalking it up to the fact that y'all found out about this website way before I did. *LoL* I've only been here for four months, but I can't wait to catch you folks up.

Yes I was very excited. I mylotted like crazy to get to that mark lol. But when I did I had a great massive piece of chocolate cake and a lovely cup of tea to celebrate with my laptop lol. I also celebrated with all my Mylot friends who shared that happy moment with me. I hope I get to be the recipient of your 500 post. Now that would be a great honour for me lol, hint hint. I am crafty am I not lol? I haven't mylotted properly for days so I am so happy I can mylot myself to bits today. I am aiming to do at least one hundred long winded posts today, even if it means I go to bed at five in the morning lol. I have really missed a heavy does of Mylotting!!1

Well, I wasn't able to hit 500 yesterday because I had some things come up with my kids. So I am about four posts away from it today. I will definitely go through your discussions and hit you with my 500th!!

I was proud, but mostly just happy that I had managed to reach this particular milestone as I had been slow starting with myLot. After reaching 500 everything seems to have speeded up as it made me more motivated. My next goal is 1000 and I'm sure I'll reach it very soon.

Posts are your replies to the discussions. The number in the parentheses next to your name is the number of replies you've posted to others' discussions.

8 months ago, when i first signed up for myLot, there were no such rules like that back then. maybe because we were merely around 10 thousand members only in number or less. there are no star ratings back then as well. so, basically, when these new rules applied to newbiese, i were more than thousands and thousands of points already. actually, it's good and better now. newbies are challenged in hitting the first 500 points. challenges make us a better person, right? we have targets and goals thus, making newbies better members these days. well, i am always excited upon reaching another hundred post. i wanna reach 8thousand soon and that's my goal right now. and yup, i should work harder and harder now.

I agree, having a goal and then reaching it is quite an exciting accomplishment. Good luck on hitting 8000!!

I'm not sure how long you've been around here, but when I was at about 300 posts MyLot decided that those under 500 posts couldn't post pictures on other people's posts or copy and paste. Here I've already made 300 posts with these priviledges and all the sudden they were stripped away because others abused the system. I was on MyLot constantly after that posting and trying to hit the 500 mark and when I finally did I think I might have even done a little dance at my desk! LOL. You're almost there ... keep going strong!

I've only been around for about four months now. I think I would have been upset if I were in your situation. But it definitely would have made me work harder to get to the 500 so that I could get those privileges back.

I just reached my 500th posts. I guess this is my 501th. I'm happy to reach 500 posts, it's an encouragement to me. My next target is to reach my 1000th posts in one month time.

I've got about six more to go before I hit 500. I'm really trying to get there before I log off for the night.

I was pretty thrilled. lol. That´s the life of the work at home mom! Getting super excited over posting milestones. To be honest, though it is really nice to be able to copy and paste URLs. Saves a lot of mistakes and also I like being able to write posts when my internet connection is down and then just pasting them when I get back online! :)

I know what you mean about the mistakes. I've made a few because I had to type everything out and I forgot a letter here or there. It will be nice to just copy and paste and not have to think twice about it.

posts - 500
The last time I reach my 500 mark I was so happy and excited. At first I think it's easier to respond to the discussion if you have the option of copy and paste but I realise that you don't have to copy and paste everything. One thing I like when I reach 500 is the chance to upload pictures in a discussion even you just respond to a discussion.

i am felt happy.. because i finally achieve 500 post within 2 week+ ..and it took me really sometime to get such an achievement.. what really makes me happy is that i can finally copy and paste!!.. i'm dislike spamming.. but there's alot of time.. i failed to post reply to discussion.. the page fail to load.. and i have no choice but to type everything back again and again.. it does annoy me at times . and .. finally.. i can post with no worries.. i can finally give out all my opinions .. and help as many as possible.. thanks guy.. for helping me to achieve this.. thanks again... mylot really does has it advantages and disadvantage.. keep it up.. and someday.. you might achieve 500 post too:) .. i guess i need to work about 4 hours per day to achieve another 500 =)

When I reached 500 points there was no milestone set, so, apart from the round number, there was nothing to be especially excited about. Saying this, I realize that lately I've not been responding as much as I did before.

I just past the 500 mark last night. I wasn't ecstatic about it, though I was a little bit excited as I can now copy and paste which can come in handy when mylot is down for maintenance. And since hitting the 500th post I can also add pictures to all of my discussions, not just the ones I started, which is pretty cool.
