Does MyLot seem quiet to you?

It seems that MyLot has been quiet for the past few days. Have you noticed this? I see Hot Discussions, or whatever they're called, with less than 20 comments. I hope we are not fading into oblivion.
Have you gathered the email addresses of MyLotters you would want to stay in touch with if MyLot were no longer economically viable? I have. I like my "real world" friendships, but I also enjoy the friends I have made on MyLot.
Practice with our "new band" went well yesterday. We have three guys who can sing harmony vocals. We can actually do Pure Prairie League songs and make them sound good. That is pretty cool.
Those are my musings over my first cup of coffee this morning. Do things seem quiet to you on MyLot?

Once yesterday and once today mylot sort of "stopped". I could not get through it. At first I thought that my post had been lost but it was only delayed. Still, when things like that happen, we lose part of our interest for some time.

Mylot was down awhile yesterday. I’m glad that it came back on.. I would miss everyone here if it shut down.

It has been quiet, but there is a lot of news going on. I have watched a lot of YouTube lately because so much is happening. There has been so much, from drones to fires, the inauguration, China threats, and beyond. I never know what is next.
Watching breaking news takes up more time from myLot than it should.

@TheHorse what did you think about her hat? She ended up looking fabulous at the evening ball. Did you see her in her black and white ball gown?

It has been less active since December. Earlier, I thought it to be due to festival, holidays and new year keeping mylotters away but that has continued in January too. Also, some technical glitch in the last couple of days with the error message might have disinterested users.
It would break many hearts if it stops. It's one site I would come to interact and unwind and get the pennies.

@TheHorse My day too seems incomplete without peeping in here, even if it is for few minutes on a busy day

It feels like with it being down so long in the mornings maybe some people forget about it for awhile. I have recently gotten the email addresses and phone numbers from several people in case the site goes down for good.
I’m glad to hear the band get together went so well!

@TheHorse This is what the Net says about error 503
An HTTP Error 503, also known as the "Service Unavailable" error, typically occurs when a website's server cannot handle a request, either due to being overloaded or undergoing maintenance, and there may not be anything you can do to resolve the problem, similar to the 502 bad gateway.

@lovebuglena I like to do a post each morning. It's my way of "reaching out" to the community.

I did not notice mylot getting quiet. In fact in past 2 weeks , I did notice few mylotters returning to mylot. Would have to see if they get active again. But when I login and check there are new discussions. Of course , the number of discussions having 20+ responses could be less. I never had a single discussion with 20 responses so far. I have posted over 210 posts so far. I have not thought of a time if mylot would end things and we would have to be touch in other ways. Perhaps , the thought is scary. Good to know the practice went well. Have a wonderful day ahead!

I tried to respond this morning and the comment timed out, twice. I said "I don't have time for this" and left. I do not remember what I said.

I admit that I'm not real good at looking for discussions to respond to. Yes I do post discussion myself, but I've been kind of in the 'short attention span theater' lately. Oh, and since the 3rd it can be hard to respond to discussions with a sprained wrist. I have, however, found I can type with the splint since the way I type my arm is resting in the same way as it is in the splint and I can use my little finger.

I've asked several friends for their email addresses but most of them have declined sharing theirs with me. I've still sent them mine, anyway, just in case they decide they want to get in touch if myLot goes away. (I couldn't open myLot earlier this morning. The site "is it down right now" showed myLot was down for everyone, not just me.)
I'm glad practice of the band went well for you. 
I'm more here in the late night and it's always slow during the night. (Pretty woke me up this morning or I wouldn't be here now.)

@TheHorse I'm normally asleep when you come online. I'm usually asleep from (my time) 8 am until early afternoon (my time) around 1:30 pm or so.
Why would myLot being down for a little while make you worry? It goes down two or three times a week for an hour or less. *shrug*

I need to get some address, that is a great ideal. 
Quiet? It's been a few days since I was last here so I am sorry for adding to that quietness. I keep telling myself I need to get back into my daily routine of coming here. But then life gets busy and days go by,,,,,
