Do Not Discount A Slow Day on MyLot

I have read a couple of posts recently mentioning that it seems to be a bit of a slow day on MyLot today. And I would actually have to agree with that. It IS slow here today.
But don't discount a slow day on MyLot.
At the end of the day, the notifications last for seven days, and so someone you have responded to will likely eventually find your response and respond to you. Just may not be today, or even two days from now. But most likely the "work" you do today will eventually be found and be rewarded.
Not finding many new posts to respond to? There are still hundreds of thousands, if not millions of older posts. Scroll down and start finding posts you probably have missed.
Slow or not, if you still want to be on here, BE on here. The reward may not be immediate, but it WILL be eventual, and that still matters.
There's lots to do on here, even if you have to do a little more digging on a slow day like today.

A frequent case is what is a slow day for one member is a busy one for another member. I have read those posts about it being a slow day and I am experiencing a high day. You can be on here closely monitoring and earn far less than the surprise amount that pops up after an extended break. It all balances in the long run.

@porwest Happy reading! This is my 500th post on myLot. You will be occupied for some time reading all of them. Of course, they're all worth reading! :-)
Thank you also for making me stinking rich with the money you're flushing into my piggy bank.

I have not, but if you want to make a recommendation, I may be interested in the position. 
BTW, I have your profile scheduled for trolling. So, I may be on many of your posts for a bit. May take me a bit longer to troll yours since your posts tend to be longer. But you are on my radar.

Older posts won't do it for me since I never miss a post from those that I follow. I use the "Follows" "Their Discussions"; and I go back to the last Discussion that I answered and move forward. I could go read Discussions from those that I don't follow.

@porwest If you use the "Follows" "Their Discusssions" you can't miss anyone unless you can't remember where you left off...

@LindaOHio I have been trying to use that section more often, but 99% of the time it is Most Recent Activity where you will find me hanging out.

I think sometimes people just expect an immediate result and forget that eventually people WILL be more active later on, and so the work you do NOW may not immediately have a result...but later on you will be glad you spent the time nonetheless.

I have one friend I can count on to resurrect some of my older posts. I am often pleasantly surprised to get the notifications about them. I am slow right now, so I do not complain that the site is as well.

I wish more people did that. That is, resurrect older posts. I tend to go back to a lot of my older ones just to make sure I got to all of the responses...like this one. I always say, "eventually I do get to them all," and I certainly make an effort to do that when I can. I also go back and delete some of the irrelevant ones too.

You may want to clarify that if people DO look for older discusisons, they need to make sure that person is still a member of mylot...
I usually go to the "recent activity" tab and stalk people on the slow days.

That's the way to go about it. And like I said, sometimes scrolling down in someone's profile can be a lot more fun than just digging through all the most recent stuff. There are hidden gems down below...slow days cause me to dig deeper for some of them.

I haven't found it too slow to be honest but there is more to do here than on any other site I know. Sometimes the interaction can be a bit slow but I think that's because of time zones. A lot of people are sleeping when I'm active.

Sometimes I type in a phrase into the search and read/comment on the discussions that come up there. I may search for a specific thing or something random.

I agree. But getting less notifications makes us feel uncomfortable
