As some of you might be aware, mainly my myLot friends, I have not been around lately due to one thing and another but mostly because of the school summer holidays which come to end next thursday! Anyway, what I was wondering was, are any of you still completing the tasks? I remember when myLot first offered these tasks they were scooped up in minutes and many people gained from them. I have just gone into the 'task room' and there appears to be an abundance of tasks waiting to be completed. Is anyone still bothering with them? Are they worth while doing? Does anyone else still feel they are too hard to complete?

Hey ronaldinu I have noticed you haven't been around much either as I still have had my notifications on and you haven't been starting many discussions either!! Hopefully I will be back and more active now. I just wanted to get some feedback from some myLotters to see if it is worth looking into doing some tasks. Take care and thanks for your response

I have yet to do one at all Humbug. None of them look worthwhile to me. 10 cents here or 1 cents there to sign up under someone hardly seems worth the effort. I am pleased to see you back again.

Hey there p1kef1sh I remember you saying before that you had no interest in doing them before. I was wondering if anyone else out there was still doing them or there had been a change in them and they had become easier or worthwile - I guess not Thanks for your response and it is good to be back!

Hi Humbug and p1ke, I did when they first came out one and got paid a couple of dollars for it, since then now they have changed it to just a few cents..it's not really worth my while doing them...LoLo

Welcome back dear friend, I for one won't be sorry to see the back of Summer, of what we had of it, I just don't like the heat and I am looking forward to autumn or as our American friends call it fall. Anyhow I don't bother with tasks, I haven't got the inclination or patience to do them, I am always reluctant about giving too much of my time away as well as private details and email in case you set yourself up for spam or get declined so I am quite happy to let others get on with them whilst I take a back seat, they don't even interest me my friend.

Hey wolfie34 how ya doin'? Good I hope! I have checked them out but they just seem to involve a lot so I didn't bother in the end. I get what you are saying about spam too. We get enough of it as it is without adding to it without realising! Take care, thanks for your response and I hope to get into a discussion of yours soon X

Unsociable. lol Yeah I never thought of it that way. I guess it's a good way to get a few extra pennies, but they just don't interest me that much.

Hey dawny Yeah me too, don't really want to be bothered with the tasks to be honest, they are a bit unsociable don't you think? Thanks for responding

Personally, I've never paid attention to the tasks and only completed one. Where is the task room? If they're really worth doing I wouldn't mind completing more tasks. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hey kellyjeanne I don't actually mean the task room, I mean the task bar that appears above between discussions and blogs. Sorry if I confused you. Thanks for your response

Hi anne09 I think they are worth taking a look at if you are looking to increase your earnings without starting and getting involved in discussions! Thanks for your response and welcome to myLot

some of them are true to their words but some takes time before they can give you the credit and some don't bother to give you credit at all.. some task become harder and keeps of coming back again and again... There's nothing new at all.. i feel like its no longer a task but they just tried to use us to create an articles or story about something which is of course very time consuming coz you need to think of something to say first and what if you have no idea about the topic... i dont like the way coz some of them almost take all spaces of the task page just to offer the task and for the fact that i have no idea about the topic like the plants, flowers or etc(sorry for those who hit with this, but i'm just being true though i know its a task to follow but is there's any other aside from this?)

Hi ya homeshoppers Well I guess I wouldn't mind doing the odd one if they were easy enough and take me away from starting discussions and being involved with my mylot friends. Thanks for your response

Hi Humbug, when the tasks first am out they were to me a good way of earning extra money as you were being paid a couple of dollars for doing the task, now though it is a shame as each task you only seem to get a few cents for and sometimes it includes googling the subject you are doing, unfortunatley I haven't got the time to do that and for a few cents it just doesn't seem worth it. It will br nice to see though what others have to say...Lolo oh and its great to have yyou back! Have missed you!

Hi ya littleowl, it is good to be back thanks and I have missed mylot too and my my friends here I did check out the tasks when they first started them but it just seemed like they were just asking too much and found it complicated so I have never bothered myself. Thanks for your response and I hope to see you around again soon

I don't bother even trying to do the tasks, as I more into posting my views in disucssions, as that is how I am earning here. I don't know if they are worth it or not since I don't do them. You could give it a try and see how they work for you, as they do help with your earnings from what I understand. I guess some of the tasks haven't been all that great for poeple to do. I won't take my time to do them and have to wait to get accepted. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi there rosekiss I guess most things are worth giving a go once aren't they? I looked into it when they first started them though and, like you, didn't feel they were worth it. Thanks for your response and happy mylotting to you too

Hi, I just received an alert when I opened myLot a few minutes ago, announcing the new tasks available. I checked and indeed there are so many of them and the topics are not as tough as the ones posted before. I'm thinking of trying one of those, but I haven't started yet. Thing is, before I can even blink an eye they're gone. Haven't tried any of the writing tasks, only those that needed signing up. I wanna try the writing task this time.

Well, I guess some of the task are really confusing and to finish them, you need take a lot of time, but you even didn't get something important for you, so I would not like to accept the task most of time, I just wanna post some views on mylot. So the tasks can not draw my attention enough.
