do you believe in ads

Hi there, i agree, sometimes its hard to convince people. One reason might be that they are afraid that they might get ripped off =). Being ignorant to something usually frightens someone in joining activities that will benefit them. To overcome this problem, you mgiht want to educate them first, let them know what they are about to get into, what benefits they will gain in joining. Tell them that signing up is free, all they need is a little time to participate in discussions. If they love being part of freindster or any other community which does not pay them a single dime for participating in their discussions then why not try mylot. Stress out that there's no strings attach, they could try it and if they don't like the environment they have the freedom to leave. But i'm telling once they tried mylot and once they see that their participation is being compensated, they will consider leaving their current community. As you may well know by now, mylot is pretty much addictive, i know you'll agree, i believe you became addicted yourself LOL =).
