    me and some other members decided to finally
    create this directory ,
    eventhough it's not an official DP directory but nonetheless it would help members to easily find sites owned by DP members instead of visiting sites of youdonowho

    so basicly members can check other members sites instead of visiting some strangers sites.
    and help them find partners....

    the directory is on a subdomain for the moment until we choose between the selection of domains we have

    Join the unofficial Directory

    hope after all the nagging some members will join .... eventhough i am very doubtfull

    Ok, if the ownership doesn't want their own official DP directory, then it doesn't make alot of sense to start an unofficial one. But hey, that's just one SOB's opinion. :p

    I do not think that any of the names above would work. If you are going to make a directory for dp members especially using the digital point name then you are going to have to come with something better than that.

    The other thing is I would not use the php script. Digital Point is a high powered forum and therefore if you are going to build a directory for its members than the directory needs to complament the digitpoint forum and not look like all the other directories out there, otherwise it is just another directory.

    It should be 100% html static and 100% seo friendly with a stellar design to go with it. That is what I think should be done if you are going to build this kind of directory.

    I don't think the original poster really thought this through very well. I hope he reconsiders.

    the main objective behind this directory is to attract visitors to your site from other members

    So let me get this straight because I'm kinda dumb. The DP Directory can't afford to get a real domain name and must use a subdomain of some sh*t you already had registered. The DP Directory can't afford to get a real design and must use the default PHPLD template. The DP Directory isn't really a directory at all, but a friggin link exchange for you (recip required). The owner of DP has told you he doesn't want a DP Directory and has asked you to stop, yet you insist on doing this anyway.

    Please, evolving, let me know if I got anything wrong here. :rolleyes:

    trying to capitalize for your own interests based on a forum that does not even want their own directory is NOT the best of ideas.

    Sure, you will get the blood sucking hounds who submit their sites to everything moving, but those who respect DP for what it is won't want to be included.
