wahoo! I finally reached my 500th post! I can now copy and paste no more re-typing the entire post or discussion when something goes wrong. I'm so happy. This means that at least I've reached the half-way mark to pay-off. I think I'm gonna celebrate this by thanking my friends (I think I'll leave comments and answer as many of their discussions as possible.) Did any of you celebrate when you reached 500th post? If do, how did you celebrate it. I've heard that some mylotters post news articles when they reach the 500 in mylot. Why and how do they do this. Is this allowed in mylot?

Hi, Congrats on your success. The copy and paste function is great because sometimes there is problem to submit posts. So, I will copy my posts before submit. This is a great way because I do not need to retype everything again if problem occur.

yes, this is what I've been looking forward to on mylot. I've heard that some people paste articles. Why do they do this? To start discussions?

Hi, Actually, I am not sure why they do that. Maybe they are lazy to type and they just copy from other websites and then paste in myLot to make money. I think that copy and paste from other sites is not ethical. So, I will type my responses and comments and I seldom use the copy and paste function.

When I reached 500 posts, I wrote 501st post. Some mylotters congratulated me. I was quite happy. That all.

same here Kishusia but what's great for me is that I can now copy and paste. I won't have such a hard time if the connection gets lost and I have to log the entire post or discussion from the beginning.

Congratulations to you anaknitatay! That is really great news and this calls for a celebration! LOL! You must be very elated at the moment. Anyway, I reached my 500th post a couple of months ago. It was really great. I felt happy and proud about such goal achieved. While copy and pasting is already allowed when we reach 500, I rarely do this. More often than not, I just copy and paste important facts about a certain issue but the meat of the discussion is provided by me.

yes, I realize now that even with copy paste what you really think is what's important.

I have a forum account elsewhere that was registered in December 04. So far, it has about 9200 posts. Would be awesome if I could bring that here. And I don't usually make a big celebration over post count achievements. Just "hey look, it's over 9000!" I don't really see a point in throwing a big hoopla over reaching a certain number of posts.
