Back After 10 Years - Anyone Else Feeling the Same Nostalgia?

Kolkata, India
February 26, 2026 9:08pm CST
Hello everyone, It feels a bit unreal to be writing here again after almost 10 years. I joined myLot a long time ago, when daily discussions, comments, and familiar usernames were part of my routine. Life moved on, the platform went quiet, and somehow a whole decade passed. Now that it’s active again, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia. I find myself wondering about the old connections. Are any of you still around? Do you remember those long conversations, the random topics, and the sense of community we once had? For those returning after years, how does it feel to be back? And for the newer members, what made you join now? I’d really love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Let’s talk.

I have seen many old mylotters missing for long years and even decades and then coming back. There are quite a few who have been with the site from the very beginning and are still here. Some old mylotters have gone for heavenly abode. I am sure that you will come across familiar names when you start being active again. I joined myLot around 8 years ago. Though I have gone missing here every now and then, I am pretty much regular here.

That’s very true. It’s always interesting to see familiar names reappear after so many years it really shows how long this journey has been for many of us. I’m sure reconnecting with familiar faces will bring back a lot of memories. It’s nice to know you’ve been part of myLot for so long and have stayed connected, even with a few breaks in between. That kind of consistency says a lot.

@barood4money I am always itching to be here. I enjoy the site. It helps me unwind. I have time constraint with the offline obligations of a family and job. But coming here helps me relax. I have been consistent here since I joined though I am here for very little time in a day.

I signed up twenty years ago. I remember how sad I was when it changed its format for two years and a lot of people left. I’m thankful so many people came back. Hopefully, you can pop in here now and then as your schedule allows.

Twenty years is truly amazing. I can understand how difficult that phase must have been when the format changed and so many people left.. it felt like a big part of the community was missing. It’s comforting to see familiar faces return and the place feel alive again. Thank you for the kind thought. I may not be around all the time, but I’ll definitely try to pop in whenever my schedule allows.

16 years ago was a totally different mylot for me. It was highly interactive coz you can't start your own discussion unless you interact. And there was the star rating too that determines how much you get paid. I missed the old noisy mylot. It's not as noisy now nor as active as it used to be more than a decade ago, but I'm glad that mylot is still here. It went silent before and stopped paying but it came back and came alive again with new guidelines, new payment threshold, new algorithm, and new members.

Welcome back. I've been here 11 years and don't remember you at all. I joined myLot after it was revived and started paying again. I brought a bunch of other people with me from Bubblews when it was closing down.

Back After 10 Years - Anyone Else Feeling the Same Nostalgia? No not really. I do quite like it when I see someone from them old days, or someone returning who I have interacted with a lot, but it's not nostalgia for me
