Normally it's much busier during the week than on the weekends. Normally it's much busier the last few days of the month as everyone is trying to reach payout or other goals. On Sunday I had one of my better days here, and now here it is the second to last day of the month and in the middle of the week and no one is posting or responding. Where are you? Are you all off partying without me or something?

Sunday was really great I agree! I'm here tonight too but I'm a bit flaked out cos of the heat. I've noticed it is slower, much slower than usual (maybe some are trying out that new place) but maybe tomorrow will pick up with it being the LAST day. Who knows but you know what they say? "It's the quality not the quantity that counts" Bedtime here for me so one less from now on (but I'll be back for breakfast here tomorrow when you will be in the land of nod ) Take care!

Have you looked at that new site? I took a peek and if that's what the forum looks like, I don't think I want to even give it a try.

I'm sure not everyone made their goal and I've never seen it this slow at the end of the month, in the last 6 months that I've been here. Especially during the week!

I'm here, but I am not sure where the others are. I was trying to hit my $10.00 mark, but I am not able to get on here as much as I used to. Unfortunately I think I will fall just a few cents short this month. I am up to $8.76 as of right now. (Well, as of the last update, at any rate!) I have heard others say the last day of the month doesn't count, so tomorrow won't count many are saying. Do you know if this is true? If tomorrow counts, I just might make payout, but if it doesn't I think I will be just short this month. Hopefully I can earn a dollar today and hope that tomorrow counts as well and I can earn like a quarter... That will be enough! LOL

No, that's not true. Tomorrow counts all the way until midnight somewhere here in the U.S. I've made payout every month since I joined in mid-February and my payout always reflects what I had at the end of the last day of the month. (I keep a spreadsheet so I know exactly what my earnings are every day). Keep going, you can do it!

I'm here, I've been here all day off and on. I've been trying real hard to make payout this month. I'm not sure what I made today, hopefully I'm close to payout. I'll have to work hard tomorrow like I did today to make it. Oh well, if I don't thats alright too, I'll just have even that much more next month. I hope tomorrow counts, if it don't, well then I don't think I made it...lol. I haven't been out partying, I've been working...haha. Have a good day

I noticed the same thing. Even though I have made payout I am trying to get a few more bucks in but it is hard if no one is posting. Where is everybody? Where have all the people gone?

I have a goal to make over a certain amount a day. So I am trying to catch up, but I will not make the amount I hope to. I find it hard to write something when the discussions are not serious enough. Tomorrow we will be out much of the day, and I do not think I will be able to reach my goal for that day. I was not here much on Sunday, but for some reason I did better than expected.

I'm here, not as much as I would like to be, trying to keep the girls entertained when we can't get to the pool. I have had some good days and some okay days. Just muttering along!

The weekend was very good for me, too. Maybe it's because it's the middle of the week? People get the doldrums in midweek and at the last of the month. I think you'll see a change in the next week!

I'm here. But I'm not trying to reach payout. I'd need a little over $3.00 by tomorrow. I'll never be able to do that.

I'm here and I do believe I'm going to make it this month. I was only 27 cents short this morning when things changed. But you're right. Last month at this time there were lots of discussions going and lots of places where we could comment. Hmmm.

I am just getting around to this discussion now, I am sorry, I noticed too that there were much less posts for this date, I have no idea why either, maybe because it is summer people are out more and have less time on the computer or they are working on assignments like me?

yeah i've noticed it's been rather slow the last couple of days. there's been a ton of ridiculous one line questions: "which browser do you prefer?" "what kind of pizza do you like?" "come check out my AWESOME money maker" "what's your cat's name" and the millions of other mindless discussions that just don't interest me. hopefully we get some postings with a little more substance to them in the next couple of days. in the meantime........ Happy Posting!!!

But you have to work hard here today to earn that dollar that you lost out of your cash register! : )

It could be that people have given up on making payout this month or are at work. Weekends usually bring more free time and relaxation. I'm a student, so I have a more flexible schedule. However, people at work probably cannot log on to mylot. Evenings seem to be busier. Don't worry though- no one is partying without you.

I'm no where near payout at the moment. I've taken some time away from mylot due to not being able to find discussions I want to reply to and having personal problems. Now, I'm back to do what I can on mylot. I am feeling a little better, but it will take a miracle for me to reach payout now. hehe There's always next month right? :D

I'm new to myLot, so I am somewhat confused about what you guys are talking about. You earn money for chatting on myLot? and you are short? Do you get money for posting a new discussion, or for responding to other discussions? What if someone says your response was the best one? How do you get reputation points? Sorry for asking all these questions I'm sure hundreds have asked before me...

Yes, you get paid for starting new discussions, more if a lot of people respond to it. You get paid for responding to a discussion, more if it is not just a few words. I've got some tips that explain all these things that might help you a bit. Take a look at my profile. Welcome, and enjoy!

thanks a whole bunch. those article were well written and very illuminating. I guess I need to set myself up with paypal, eh? I wonder if the fact that I live in Canada will adversely weffect anything with PayPal. It won't will it?
