@JolietJake Yes, I think that if myLot starts deleting the "duplicate" discussions like they used to do, then it would send a more convincing message that we are supposed to be discussing rather than posting and collecting responses.

I think John Donne's poem sums up the problem here: No man is an island...

That's the major big difference...Bubblews was never set up for discussions. Meanwhile that is all this site has ever been about...discussing. I still think that, regardless of the topic, 50 different 'discussions' about it are ridiculous...no one is really 'discussing' there, just posting the same thing all over the place. Ah well...

I responded two days ago to a discussion called "How I made $2.9974 in ONE DAY on myLot"

. You should perhaps have untitled this one "Do as I say, not as I do"

You responded to one telling others HOW to earn, not necessarily 'this is how much is in my bank'.

Also, please note; that mentions something I earned, in one day, several months ago, and had nothing to do with any current earnings amount.

@JolietJake You should not try to justify yourself : the corollary of "do as I say, not as I do" is "the chief is always right". I learned it long ago in the army

Hope this does not offend anyone. It is kind of a boring topic also. Kind of like all those rappers rapping about all this money they have that most of them do not have. I mean, I would think we all want others to do well, but there is no reason to flaunt it. Which is kind of how it comes across at times.

@vandana7 I would love to use that emoticon. I hate topics about earnings. I hope there is an emoticon saying "talk to the hand" Someone asked me in the past how much I earned. I told him I chose not to disclose and I don't monitor it. Now, I'll use the yawn emoticon next time I'm asked about earnings.

Discussions were never a part of the other site. And really, its about time that people let that old site go, this is not the place to discuss it or even to draw comparisons. I was so happy to see the title of this discussion, I hope that it is read and understood by everyone. It will help bring everyone back on track and have intelligent discussions. Let's see if it works now.

@MarshaMusselman From what I can remember, I was about the longest standing member when that site closed that had not been paid and was owed a sizeable redemption. I never posted about it here or there, I just packed up my stuff on the other site, deleted as much as I could, and started fresh here. I don't see the point in bringing up the negative past where I was not paid.

Although the other site didn't call it's posts discussions, I think many of us discussed the topic as much as we interact here. I think so many weren't paid elsewhere, that they feel the need to talk about it more int he beginning of their stay here, but eventually they should see that those posts don't bring in the interaction and hopefully they'll quit.

The most likely reason for people posting about what they have earned is simply an easy way to generate a post. No matter how much it is impressed on people, money will remain the major attraction for most members. I remember when Mylot announced the cessation of the earnings a few years ago. I intended to remain, but so many members left that I finally gave up and moved away for a while.

@pgntwo It also constitutes an easy post for others to respond to, which no doubt generates a great deal of activity.

@Asylum I think you've spotted the gotcha there, most certainly. But then again, two conversations top of the Hot or Interesting lists relate to a certain proud upstanding member post, now deleted. Go figure ;)

So I guess you are saying that MyLot is not Bubblews. I too am seeing way too many posts about how to earn more money here. Hey, I got it a long time ago that you aren't going to get rich from posting. It is all about the interactions with others. The interactions are what I love most. I enjoy posting a discussion to talk about with other people. It is great when I get a lot of comments, but also great even when I get only a few. I also read a lot of posts. Some I will leave a comment, if it warrants leaving one. Sometimes just a like. Sometimes I don't read the discussion at all because it is a redundant post, those get boring. The friendships I have made here are worth their weight in gold. Let us be thankful for that.

I come here because I like the people - not for the money. I stayed with Bubblews long after others left for the same reason.

My lot is very different from bubblews. It is better in a lot of ways. For one thing, the administration is a lot more involved. At least, I feel that they are, and I appreciate that. I don't care what other people earn, and it's no one's business how much I earn. I'm here for the fun of interacting with the wonderful members here.

Would you be able to report and remove those posts if you became a moderator? I for one think money related posts would come even if the earnings were shown on profile page. People need a topic to discuss, and that becomes a good topic unless guidelines say no.

Oh yah, myLot is definitely not Bubblews. Besides all that stuff you mentioned, I must say I have complete trust in this site. Here, "they" take into account what we say and don't give us the run around. I appreciate "they" keep us mostly informed about what's going on and I don't have to bite my nails "wondering" if it's worth my time to be here. We have built up a mutual trust system here - and that's where that B place failed.
