I've Got This Feeling

Yes, for the last few weeks I have had that feeling that a lot of Mylot users are working on some different writing sites. I think that explains the lack of comments and new content. Have you noticed that also? I find that a lot of usual followers are not writing much anymore, what other explanations could it be? Are you of the same opinion?

I think it has a lot to do with being spring time, warmer temperatures and time spent out doing other things. Some might be writing other places. I hope to be doing that, but myLot is home for me right now.

Yes, I know that several users have opened an account with another site, but I also know that the site has suspended the earnings for the moment. I have been around less than usual because I have some errands this week and many appointments (bank, doctors and so on).

I must admit that I tried the other sites. But still, I am spending more time in mylot.

@Shavkat, It is only normal to want to find out more. How do you like those other sites? Right now, I have enough here to keep me happy.

I think people are looking for more ways to earn is all. MyLot is a great site and will probably never shut down. Besides, they would warn us. Not every site is perfect. Plus, busy schedules and warm weather are a factor.

That is a possibility of them writing on other sights. This is the only one I write on. I'm not one here as much as in the winter time as my work schedule is busier now. I mow yards now as well as clean houses/business so I don't have as much time. Maybe that is part of the drop off as well. Have a blessed day.

More outside chores is a part of my problem as well as we are beginning a round of more appointments with my sister again, then company and a trip.

Yes, because I for one is guilty of being on a different site and I must say I've been seeing a lot of familiar faces from the other side of the fence but I still spend more time here since mylot has a much simpler interface than most and of course there are many I retesting people here.

I've noticed the same kind of thing. Not as many people are here, interacting, commenting, and just spend time here. Hopefully they'll be back soon.

maybe because they've been waiting for quite sometime for a site that pays for articles, either to write new content or to update and transfer their stuff from defunct sites. then they drop by mylot to socialize or take a breather.

the dollar sign is now in either side of myLot, so it means we are now paid.

Even then, I don't think people stay out all day, if they are regular users here.

or time of year, for many of us it's nicer out, so more time outside and less inside.

With the weather improving, I've been occupied with garden chores and a lot of running around. I also was not feeling inspired to write. It is disappointing how many Mylotters are not really writing subjects that can be discussed, more random thoughts. Most of my comments are longer than those posts.

I am on a lot of other sites plus keeping up with emails so I have to ration my time or I will spend the whole day on the Internet--I post here on Mondays and generally come here another day to answer the comments--I have a busy life with real people! :O)

I have no idea about other writing sites. It's only MyLot that I know. Maybe there are some mylotters who are doing that . It's maybe because those sites are also interesting and worth time spending.
