OMG, I have seen a change in me for the last two weeks, I used to come into Mylot and post at least 20 discussions a day. Granted my time is once again limited because I am in school again but I also used to be able to come up with at least 150 word responses, now I find it hard to come up with three lines nonetheless post ten discussions a day! Something has changed but I honestly don’t know what at this moment. All I know is that the discussions are not as appealing to me anymore and there are too many new members spamming the interest! It has become harder for me to respond to discussions outside of my friends list! Is it just me or have you also changed along with everything else happening here on Mylot?

Well mylot certainly has changed.I brought this up yesterday.Its not the same.I mean alot of members are gone.Its hard to find a great discussion and people are being rude to others.People are reporting discussions as being offensive when they arent and last but not least the earnings has decreased alot.All those has drove loyal members away.Sometimes i come on just to see whats going on and checking up on friends.Yes i've said the same thing yesterday take a look http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1220612.aspx

Hello disvachic! I am sorry I did not mean to offend youu in any way nor post a repeat of your discussion. I am just wondering about it myself. again I am sorry if you feel offended by this but I can assure you that although it may seem the same, I an assure you that this discussion is based on my thoughts. Have a great day:)

Thank you revdauphinee! You are right there have been a flood of personal links in discussions, I have noticed that some members have also placed their links as a signature in their responses...lol.. I really don't mind helping another member out, but at times it can be overwhelming:) Thank you again, for your response:)

yes, i agree with you liyan. most of topic discussion here not like the previous one. many new member posting unqualified topic discussion. Im sorry i told these thing without any mean to offense someone. and lots of old mylotter being inactive again in mylot. so sad, right? and in my opinion too, mylot already change their way to pay mylotter. It seem more difficult to find more $$$ in here.

It has been getting crowded in her, I guess that is why I feel like the atmosphere has changed, and this past week has suddenly become unfamiliar to me. I enjoy meeting new friends on Mylot but then I guess I have been overwhelmed with the additional members popping out every minute…lol... Thank you for your comprehensive and understanding response!

you are right it has changed alot. it is sad cause i use to really love it here. its just now the discussions are the same and the same thing over and over. i mean yes we will all end up asking the same as someone else and not know it that is not that big of a deal but some of the discussions are just dumb. like what did you eat today. i have seen taht one alot. i start discussions and get hardly any replies cause what i ask is a real thing i guess and will take some thought. but the earning are bad now too. i mean i got a penny for yesterday. i dodnt come here as often anymore cause it takes me forever to find something to respond to now. use to i could just about post to everything now it is hard to find a good discussion

Dear liyan97, I get time to post answers only to my friends' discussions. All my friends' discussion come to my email inbox. When a discussion is beyong my knowledge to answer I just skip them otherwise wherever possible I answer all my friends' dicussion. Since my friends' circle has been increased I found it is not possible to answer all my friends' discussion. I always try to answer as much as possible as I can.

Thank you Navtech! That is just it! I too try to respond to all my friends discussions but to be honest there are some discussions that I am just lost for words…I enjoy being here and all the friends that have come out of my time spent here, thus is why I don’t understand why I am having a sudden lack of words these days.

Hello, liyan, I'll say there is the same puzzle in me also. I've been in mylot for almost 2 months. At the beginning, I came here every day and posted many discussions. It seemed there were many interesting discussions. But not long after I was a memeber in Mylot, I found that I nearly lost interest in it, and I was not enthusiastic in Mylot as I had been before. So, I stopped come here for a long time, almost 1 and half months. Two days ago, I remembered Mylot and came here again to see if there were any interesting things happened here. To my disappointment, I just saw the same mylot as I saw at the beginning. And what's more, I found that Mylot paid us much less than before. Honestly, most people come here for the sake of money, and now, the money is decreased, so the number of people decreased. I think this is the main reason that mylot does not look like the one as it used to be.

Hello chenxiaoyue_713! I believe you are right it probably has more to do with the money than anything else, but I really don’t see myself like that…I am here for the discussions and the friends that I have made along the way. Yes, it is nice to earn a few cents from here to there but they are just cents. I feel that our responses reflect on who we are not how much w get paid for them. Thank you for your response, I appreciate it~

I know that I am going to be busier and busier. School starts soon, and I also work a second job. I report rude people, or at least give them - and I do not put up with abuse. However, I seldom see these cases, as I almost exclusively answer friends discussions. Even they are not posting much, though. I am hoping that myLot gets back to more of itself once summer is over in the US, and people have more indoor time. I have answered as many of my friends' discussions as I care to today, so I am looking around at other people's discussions for a change. It can be interesting.

that's so sad. but i dont think any got changed here in mylot.com. But, as for as new members are concerned, your are right that, it's getting crammed here. But, that's the order of the day, so keep continuing your responses and discussions. All the best

I am finding it harder to post or respond to discussions here on mylot too. Nothing really catches my eye to respond to. I don't want to just reply to any and everything just because. I do see that some people are becoming a little more rude to one another.

Thank you for responding jmcafam, I really hope that we can gain the same excitment as we when we first started soon, because It is really taking it's toll on our beloved Mylot.

Thats right! Many discussions are just repeated ones nowadays and most of the time, many users end up with answering the same or similar posts, which is not good for the quality of the Mylot. Hope this changes soon.

I think it's because a lot of people are on vacation and away for weeks at a time or just out enjoying the good weather. I have one friend who I know is visiting relatives for most of the summer and they don't have a pc.
