Well, I've decided that yes, it is time for me to take a break from mylot. Even though I've only been on it for 3 months now, all the problems with the site have, quite frankly, turned me off of it. And it's not just this past week. Mylot has been plagued with problems ever since I started participation. Even though this is/was supposedly a 4X earnings day, I just couldn't bring myself to take advantage of it and post away. Even today, I couldn't get into the site when I tried to. I realize there are a lot of reasons why the site goes down, weather, maintenance, unforeseen problems, whatever, but it's just not worth my time right now. Perhaps after a break I'll be back. Till then HAPPY MYLOTTING EVERYBODY!

Hi Suebee! :) I just had a break from myLot and I just also came back! I've heard from my close myLotters friends about this issues, but am pretty sure myLot admins will fix this issues soon. Hope you'll have a great time with your myLot break!

Aw, I'm gonna miss you. You made interesting discussions. I know it's frustrating and I don't blame you in the least. If you can't discuss, then it's not worth racking your brain and fighting with mylot all day. Hopefully the problems will all be resolved and things will get back to normal around here. Normal problems that is. I hope I see you back again! Until then.

I think that it is difficult to make money online and that everyone gets tired and burned out of certain things every once in a while. I have felt the same way about MyLot and several other sites I am a member of several times. One thing that always burns me out is my survey sites. I belong to several and they really get tedious. I have to take breaks from them often. I hope that you will return to Mylot soon.

i think you are right , and taking a break will be good for you, i know for me i have not had problems with the site itself but in just time finding to do the post since i got my job, and trying to keep up with the house work, hubby, and now my daughter ,moving back in.. its hard for me to find the time and now i love to read and in my spare time i have been reading my bible and a few other goood books..so i kinda lost a little interest in mylot as well.. nothing anyone done just life for me.. and if your having problems here , then i feel after you take your break from it you will feel differently when you get back on, and hopefully things will get better for you , or if it is not meant to be you will know it..i wish you the best and will miss your posts.. take care and be happy..

Well, I understand wanting to take a break. But the problems are out of MyLots control. I would have felt the same was as you do if I just joined myself. I have seen many problems but they all got fixed real quick. MyLot does care about us users. Maybe you're right about taking a break. Do that and I've it some time away. And then come back fresh.

Well, I have just found out that I am scheduled for surgery August 22nd and will have 6 weeks off work. Maybe that 6 weeks downtime will be a good time to get back into mylotting.

I think that is a wonderful idea. And best of all it will pass the time. I would do that if I had lots of down time myself. But I do work with lots of other sites. So I cannot dedicate the time I really want to MyLot. But I am working on eliminating some of the sites I use.

I find that I spend a lot of time on the computer and mostly on just two sites...FB and mylot. I fear that if I were to branch out on to other sites I'd never do anything else!

many people take breaks, as I explained before. Life goes on, and mylot will still be here when you get back. Have a nice break and enjoy your life.

I do understand your frustration with the technical issues, Suebee. I've had to be away from myLot more than I've wanted lately, because of other demands on my time, but it's annoying to finally have a few moments to log in and not be able to participate effectively. I just try when I can and sometimes it works really well, other times not. When it's glitchy, I move on and do something else. I hope you'll come back after your break... you'll be missed in the meantime. Take care!

suebee come back they were only down a half hour. I was on half of yesterday and made over three dollars so I do not feel foolish for sticking to my lot .take a break then return as its still a very good site,in my five years what happened just now was a weather fluke and will probably not happen for years.the storm was not my lot admins fault and I am sure they were just as upset as you and I and others are.but all of us turning tail and running off is not the answer. you cannot blame mylot for that storm.

I didn't get anything out of the 4X a day earnings thing either as everytime I would try to post in here it said it was down for maintenance on my end or otherwise couldn't post. I'm glad there were some lucky people who got to do it, this is a turn off for me, that some got the chance to and others not.

I was busy in real life and couldn't get on those two days with the quad earnings. Imagine how happy I was when I found out people got screwed on their earnings. Well not that they got screwed ha ha but I was rather relieved I was too busy because I probably would have posted a little more those days. Good darn thing I didn't.

Hmm, this morning I also encountered problem to access mylot, but now it is getting all right, you shouldn't get frustrated by it easily. I am glad that I had work on mylot last night, and this morning, I got pretty awesome reward, which I am more than glad. Anyway, since you already the weather problem, you should be patient with it.

Hello Suebee, Yes these frequent failures are irritating even i too could not make use of the x4 earnings fully but i am pleased to see that things are getting better now. I would suggest you too to stay on further it will be fixed soon else they will further increase the x4 opportunity for our time which is lost for logging in and logging out.
