    I would like to first say that I will be trying my best to make every post this year have a "positive response".

    I know that will be hard at times, so I will not respond at all to things I normally would have, because I believe no response is better then one that will hurt or offend someone.

    BUT my suggestion to all members is to try to do the same, Lets all just make this a great place and share real info and stuff.

    I mean we have a HUGE batch of talent under one roof, and the fact that we are all "members" of the same "club" , "forum" etc , means that we should all try to treat and respond to each other in a positive way.

    Not attack, call out, make fun of , hate, get jealous, doubt , yada yada

    Lets try it right ?.....what can we loose?

    YES - there are lots of talented people here , I bet if you asked for help they would help you.

    They all did when I joined.

    Anyhow - its a suggestion to everyone,

    Thanks

    I completely 100% agree with you. Lately I have been seeing a lot of people just responding with sarcasm, and not offering one iota of help at all. I will definately be with you on this one (as I know I have responded to people sometimes with a little less than a helping hand, sometimes I just can't help myself lol) But I do agree that there needs to be a little bit more respect for each other used in these forums. I mean WOW there is SOOO much talent here, and so little professionalism when it comes to speaking to each other on that level.

    I also think once DP gets a hold of all these spammers and scammers it will be a better environment, and possibly a little less hostile.

    Props to you for this post sundaybrew.

    I agree sundaybrew I have caught myself doing the same thing and later went back and edited it. I think we all need to slow down and think out responses and stop posting bad things.

    Especially towards the mods who try to help as best they can with in the rules. Give em break guys they are only doing what they think is best for this community as a whole not just you. They have a job to do and they take it seriously.

    I am not trying to suck up but this is a free forum where others are not. We need to remember this and have some patience instead of spouting off like banshees.

    Good post sundaybrew!

    I second and third that motion.

    So many members with diverse backgrounds should have lot to share.

    There is no place for hate,envy etc.,

    There are only few places in the internet where users share freely
    their knowledge and help each other out.

    Lets make DP a truly nice place in the web.

    Good post sundaybrew.

    a 100% correct post. DP can be funny, interesting, informative but sadly can turn into a slanging match that leads to bannings and ill feelings. lets hope that no longer happens.

    Good suggestion.
    But as well as conversation let's try and improve the standard of English too:
    - Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop (period). As a general rule they are not interspersed with random words in CAPITAL letters for no reason.
    - Punctuation comes immediately after the preceding character. There are no spaces in between.

    Nice idea country boy, I hate people who use abbreviations in their writing its really annoying.

    I found out a couple of days ago that you cant type a whole reply in capital letters, it just changed the first letter of each word to a capital Like This

    problem seems to be that a lot of people dont read more than the title here. like here, i posted 5(!) solutions that work and there are still some guys coming up with stupid "pm me the infoz!!!11" posts. no wonder some guys get frustrated here...

    I hope to have peaceful time here, last year im rather to be silent than involved with some small argument. It was my time and also can create some bad behavior here. Thanks for the remind and hope to have a great time here as usual.

    Let make DP much better than previous year, people came and left but the joys and pains are remain indeed.
