I have seen a mass of "I'm outta here" discussions in recent weeks, enough to make me question the trend. Hats off to creative myLotters who have done good satire discussions on the topic, and congrats to those who were able to get the response level they deserve! They've done such a good job of skewering the trend that I can't come up with another. I have to approach the topic in a different way.
Therefore, I would like to declare that I am NOT LEAVING myLot! Despite my fluctuating star rating, despite being occasionally flamed, I'm here to stay! It is my personal goal to reach 500 posts this month, and to see if I can reach payout again. I just got paid for the first time last week, and I like it! I've made some friends here, and I enjoy the chance to write.
If you are here on myLot to stay, please feel free to declare yourself here. Tell us why you're going to stick around.
Peace!

I'm here to stay as well! I get to talk to some cool and interesting people on here and get opinions from all over the world. And getting paid is just a good added bonus! I just say the heck with all the drama. I'll just ignore the drama and keep up with the good discussions. Noone is running me off!

I am not going to leave mylot either. I have a lot of fun discussing on here, and it isn't just about the money for me. Although the money is a plus ;P

Members come and members go for various reasons. To me, it can either be a healthy or unhealthy reason. For example, when we work for a company, we decide to leave for various reasons. Either the boss is no good, working enviroment do not suit us, etc. Most of the time it is because the pay is unsatisfactory. Same goes for mylot.com too. Loyal ones like you and me will always be here because we believe in something called global community helping each other.

Although I am becoming disenchanted due to the amount of posted referral links, copy/pasted discussions and responses, and the amount of bickering, I am here to stay! I do really get disgusted that myLot doesn't just BAN people who post referral links rather than to just delete the posts. The folks just keep doing it and having he posts removed. If the punishment were more harsh, I feel that the problem would get better. As for the bickering, I avoid participating on either side! It is harder and harder to find quality discussions, but I will continue to plug along!

Wow, great work, puyol1! I just got my first payout this month. I was not very active at first, which is why it took longer for me. I'm sure you will do well, as you work very hard. Welcome aboard, good luck, have fun!

I have reached payout each and every month with no problem, and I have met and made some wonderful friends. myLot is a Great forum to post in, and meet others. I Love being here, and that is why I continue to come here and post each day that I can.

I am staying on myLot. The main reasons are because I like the ability to take advice, give advice and to be supportive of others. Also I do like learning about people in other countries. Some of the people are about like the singer Cher. They have a farewell tour and then show up again in a little while. HhhhMmmmmm makes you wonder, doesn't it? Do they just like the farewells?

hell Im not going anywhere either. That is unless myLot staff sends me away on another temporary "vacation". So many members would miss my garden photos and my bonfires. They also would miss my huomr. At least I hope so. HAHAHA! Thanks and I hope to see more of you.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I am so glad you appreciated satirical aspect of some of these discussions and responses but unfortunately 3 of them were deleted from my friends and myself. It saddens me to think of how petty some users are but my friends more than make up for the others and I am like you I am staying. When I leave it will be of my own choosing not because some disgruntled users tried to make me think I should not be here or that they thought my postings were not up to "their" standards.

i ve been here since the past 6 months.. and today i am posting after a gap of maybe 2 months.. i did not start off discussions before leaving.. it was just becoz of my schedule i didnt get time to post here...
today i m happy i finaly managed to get back.. and as far as the "i-m-off-here" crowd goes.. nobody cares a damn for them... and i feel we should stop responding to such discussions where they say i m leaving mylot.
cheers for the true MyLotters!!!!

Personally I don't have any thought of leaving mylot. Is there a point for me to leave mylot? Is it worth to leave? And finally I thought of why am I going to waste the good opportunity to make extra cash? I will answer no to all of the above. I already have a good star rating and therefore lots of interesting discussions here I can participate. I've declared NOT to leave mylot...I'll keep posting replies and creating new discussions.

i'm not leaving mylot either,and i'm actually kinda wondering what the fuss is all about with the people saying that they're leaving and others' reactions to it. i keep reading about it in so many posts, and have gotten the idea that some mylotters are not that well-liked, which is pretty sad...disharmony even in cyberspace??? anyway, i like this site. i anticipate each time i open it hahah! something to look forward to...

I too am here to stay at mylot. I enjoy the disscusions we have over here. The money for me is just a plus and I think that is why people are leaving because they expected to make alot of money on here and that is not what this place is for I think it is here for people to have fun.
