I just requested account deletion over on Mylot

I am sorry to see you go there, I think I just recently saw you on there. They do have too many rule violations. I really don't understand why some of the discussions break the rules, the whole "It's a poll type question" thing is annoying. I also don't like spending time to answer a question and then it gets deleted and I don't get credit for it. That being said mylot is an honest site though, and I know what I will get out of it if I put so much in to it, unless something gets deleted of course.

Yeah it is really a mess and I just can't close my eyes as it annoys me too much.

Don't do that! I like having you over there. I just ignore the repetitious discussions. The quality isn't as good because they are open to almost everyone from every country. Gather seems to have people who are proficient in English. You certainly don't need English lessons like so many discussions on Mylot are about.

Color me sad. : (

Sorry, can't do this anymore. On my latest discussion I am called rude for saying the truth and I am fed up.

Is this the discussion when you say Germans must be rude or something?

I hate it when people get persnickety. They ought to leave you alone.

No, it is the one I had just started about the constant "Oh Mylot is offline, what is up?".

Oh. I don't think I've gotten to that one yet.

Well, I'll miss you. I enjoyed your stuff. At least I'll still have ya here.

Yes, you'll have me here and I will post all my ideas here now :-)

Oh, and this is the one:

If you're talking about LL, she is on Gather too.

Not anymore.

She left Gather? That's interesting.

Sorry to hear that but one has to do what they feel is right.

Yes, it will be the best for my mental health *lol*

I'll just see more of you here.

yeah I don't really like mylot. Gather seems more fun!

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Michelle I agree I earn better here than I do at mylot I am only at 5.40 over at mylot and have not cashed out yet. Christine I don't blame you for leaving there.

I just went back to mylot the other day (same day I came back here). My earnings were at 0. I don't remember what I had, but I had some earnings there the last time I was on there. My account is still there, but I'm not active.

90 days of inactivity zero your earnings.

I figured it was something like that. Most sites are. That's why I was surprised (and thankful) to still have my 114 points here! Thanks for telling me.

I haven't been on MyLot for ages

You did not miss too much :-)

I am still with Mylot... I go there when I have some extra time.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

I am sorry to see you go from there :( I know we have other sites like here & facebook where we can talk :) As you know, I rarely make discussions these day & only respond to discussions that spark my interest...my step-sister has just joined up under me so I'm trying to help her out...I won't tell her about gather yet until she understands mylot I guess.

Yeah, Mylot can be irritating for a new user.

I am sorry that you won't get any more referral commission from me :-(

Don't be sorry about that Christine, I know we were both happy with me being able to see my earnings jump big amounts everyday but money isn't everything...i will still earn over there - just slower as I tend to be here more often lol...once I get settled after my move, I will go back to mylot a bit more....I will miss you over there but I know I can reach you at other places :)

Hey, maybe I will miss it too much and sign up again in a few months. Who knows?

This is true...it has happened before...maybe so you don't get the b*tching, you should have a completely new name lol

Definitely!
And avoid such people as gifts or HWG from the start!

very true...gifts keeps popping up o some of the same discussions as me we have never really had much interaction

Was Here

Thanks for stopping by :-)

You were one of my favourites over on MyLot. Thank God I got you set up over here!!! :)

Hey tell me, Did those videos you posted give you a spike in points? I always get a points spike when I post and view videos.

The thing that gets me about MyLot is the censored words.

I can't say "ass" if I'm talking about a donkey.
I can't say "Dick" if I'm talking about Dick Cheny.
I can't say "coon" if I'm referring to a raccoon

And I've never tried but....

I bet I can't say "pussy" if I'm referring to a CAT!!!

I mean I can understand them censoring REAL profanities, but not bad slang. LOL

Are there any perfectly acceptable words in German that have been changed to mean something extremely bad, in certain contexts?

Leah, I will be forever gratefull for you bringing me over to Gather. This site rocks! And although it does have less rules, people are more friendly over here. Unbelievable...
If you send me your postal address, you'll get a Christmas present :-)

And yes, those videos gave me a spike in points. Photos do, too. I love posting photos and videos, it is awesome!

Let me think about German words.... The only example I can think of is the other way around. The word "geil" means "horny". When I was still in school - during the 90s I think - young people started to use "geil" when something was more than just cool. I never really understood it and I still try to avoid using this word, but you can't escape it.
When I was 14, one of our teachers asked us if we knew what this word meant and guess what? None of us knew and he explained it to us...

Oh and now I know an example that does show the difference between high German and Bavarian. In Bavaria, you can use the word "Fotze" for giving someone a slap in the face. In the rest of Germany, it means "cunt".
Can be pretty embarrassing and I hope everytime, that my dad does not use this word when he is here *lol* He once did and hubby almost fell off the chair.

Oh, that's too funny!!!! Both examples. :) As for your Dad and Hubby, did you ever explain the difference to them? How did they react? LOL LOL LOL

I'll send you my information in a Facebook message as soon as I'm done responding to this comment. Thanks soooooooo much!!!!! I'm always rather depressed around Christmas, and something German is as good as something Danish! :) With my grandparents gone, and Herb living in a different location, Christmas just isn't the same!!! Of course we still get together with Herb, he's still in town, but his old house was COOOOL!! You just can't fit that amount of coolness into a tiny apartment. However, I don't blame him one bit for moving. If I was in my 70's, I don't think I'd want the responsibility of maintaining a house. God knows, I don't think I want it now! LOL That's why I live in an apartment. If I had the money, I'd buy this building, and "re-locate" one of my neighbours. LOL

Well, I did tell hubby, that "fotzen" is a perfectly acceptable verb in Bavarian and I asked my dad to not use it outside of Bavaria. To be honest, I did not even know it has a different meaning in the rest of Germany before moving here... *lol*

Wow, I am ever soooooo glad I never bothered with, or wasted my time with that one.......I had heard many bad things about it, as I had thought about joining it.....whewee, sure am glad I didn't.......I dropped/quit probably 20 to 25 different programs.....I just had to...can't live on the computer 24/7, that's for sure. Now, I do many less but at least I do well with the others I've got!

You did not miss too much.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

I stopped posting on MyLot when I lost internet. I tried to go back but having to wait for advertisements or something bugged me. So I haven't been back. I like this site and people better anyways.

No offense to any MyLotters out there. I just realize that Gather is better for me.

Yeah, people on Mylot tend to be pretty hostile - or phony.

No, but I deleted my account with MyLot two years ago..their "payout" was a total joke..

Yeah, you can earn more on other sites with less to deal with.

Thanks for posting to the Comments Club!

I get trolls on Gather. I know the feeling.

Thanks for posting to Short Story and More!

Thanks for stopping by :-)

I quit going there also.

It has become a snake pit, especially senior members consider themselfes some kind of police but do the same mistakes...

Catching up with my LGTKEO in October...

Thanks :-)

I hate trolls there to. Its what ruins the site.

Definitely... I am not too sad to be gone from there.

I have never even been to Mylot, thanks for the warning.

stine1 is back in mylot, Ironic isnt it?

Nope, I am only doing the tasks now. The discussions are still rubbish.

I never seemed to get far with MyLot. Not sure why but I just didn't like the format of it at all.
