So MyLot Sleeps After All

Philippines
December 3, 2010 4:12pm CST
Whenever I log in here I immediately see new discussions on various interest groups I'm a member of but right now I'm surprised MyLot was Idle for about 20 minutes. So MyLot does sleep too. I'm not a MyLot addict, believe me. I just happen to find that the interest groups at the top of the page isn't refreshing which means no one's starting a discussion 20 minutes since I last checked. Surprising.

I have never paid attention to the time when the interests icons refresh. I admit I don't have too many interests, and I have some favorite ones which I check more frequently. You can't be sure that myLot was idle for 20 minutes. Are you a member of all the interests? Maybe your interests didn't show any new discussion for 20 minutes, but how about the other hundred of interests?

After I had submitted the response, I watched my own interests and I've noticed that, for me, myLot was "asleep" for 33 minutes until you started this discussion. Anyway, the fact that there were no new discussions for 20 or 33 minutes, doesn't mean that nobody was active here. Maybe all the myLotters were busy responding to others' discussions.

I didn't mean to say that users aren't active in general. I meant the site had no new discussions (at least the ones I'm a member of) for several minutes.

20 minutes is hardly a sleep, maybe more of a nap lol. I must say I have never looked at the discussions in that much detail. I tend to change my approach to finding new discussions rather than just refreshing the new discussion page. I start with the top discussions then go to the new discussions and then the ones with no responses.

I have never accessed mylot via my mobile phone. I doubt I would make many in depth posts via phone since the screen is smaller than that of my laptop, it looks as though I have written more than I actually have. So it wouldn't earn me much money here. You don't appear to have the same problem :)

I sometimes do that but most of the time I'm using Opera Mini on my mobile and it really sucks to load the page again and again so I just go back to the already loaded page and answer the discussions there. Whenever I'm using a PC I do it differently though.

Hi friend, that may be an off peak hour of Mylot. Sometimes me too feel boring here as no new topics are appearing. And, i usually log in Mylot through ma mobile, so i use to check Mylot once in a two or three hours. So if i feel boring here, no prob i have, just log out and log in after some time, as Mylot is always in my hands.good topic friend.

When the site seems idle, I always check out the other interests. There always seems to be a new post somewhere here on the site. Sometimes, its posted under an interest that I have not yet added.

Yep, that's what i used to do but i got tired of it. I just wait for new discussion to get added.

I have experienced this a lot of times already and i was only thinking maybe my interests doesn't sound interesting to many other members. i even experienced my interest above doesn't have any new discussions for 45minutes making me find other topics on the no response section, that way i can see other discussions that were newly posted that wasn't on my interests.

Maybe you should try adding up more interests so you can catch up with those discussions you can't view.

Good observation!!! I never thought of this. Yeah even right now when I am seeing (9.30 IST). The latest discussion started is some 11 minutes ago. And hey I have refreshed my page forcefully as well... I guess everyone is busy answering instead of asking questions. Hat-off to you for your observation

I've been in the new discussions category, responding, and I notice that there aren't any new discussion sometimes, too. I don't think MyLot sleeps much. And, hey, what's wrong with being a MyLot addict? :)

Being an addict about anything isn't always good but if you say so. So am I, I'm always looking at the interests on top of the page and see which has the freshest discussions.

I doubt there weren't discussions being posted, as it seems there are new ones all the time. I don't always see new discussions under my interests, but that dosn' mean there aren't any new ones, under other interests that I have. I have enough interests, that there is always discussions being posted, at least most of the time anyway. Some of the interests I have, I really don't post to them anymore, as I lost interest in the interests. what I do sometimes is go to my friends list and respond to discussions that are there. I haven't been posting as much lately though as I did before, as I have other sites to do, and so I will take time to do them as well. Just being able to share with others and learn from them, is what draws me back here. I hope to stay a member here for as long as I can. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Everything good in life needs time to rest and refresh. Mylot is no different. Even mylot needs a little breather to make new things new and alive again.

That's a very passionate view you have there. Well, it's great to be passionate in life once in a while.

I never really pay attention on it but there is a time its really hard to post your response or discussion here its usually working after try it tree time for every response which quite annoying and wasting my time. If no one make discussion I don;t know what happen maybe its week end and every body in vacation .

You're right but that time i wanted to answer discussions but no one was starting. But it's overly irritating, though, if someone starts one too many discussions almost at the same time which has no sense at all. I mean they're asking simple questions just to earn money.

Am amazed you took notice of this. You must be a keen observer of minute details. That's an admirable trait, at least for me. We tend to overlook details that prove big later on or in unexpected ways. I myself did not attach any meaning to the time displayed. It's a nice curiosity. Cheers.

Thanks for the compliment. Well, it's easy to see actually. The icons at the top of the screen represents the interest groups you're a member of and it shows the top 8 groups that has the newest discussions in them.
