Just noticed the new sub-division in the entertainment section on . I really think DP is no longer a hub of Internet marketers and search engine forum. It's more or less turning into a entertainment fiasco. What's happening. Can't see any useful posts google,yahoo,etc. Only thing is that people are asking the same old question more repeatedly then ever. It's only flooded with noobs who don't search the forum and simply ask the same question a person ask ever other week. What's up!!! Does dp need to clear out a few off-topic sections here? Only thing I now see on DP is marketplace and entertainment place. What about other topics. I thing DP is lagging behind in the race to become the best webmaster place in the internet marketing world.
You're right, I really hate seeing all those duplicate threads and the same things being repeated over and over again. Something should be done to stop that kind of thing if it's at all possible. Its diluting the more valuable content.
Folks want their information handed to them on a plate. My favorite is when you get two dozen replys that show none of them have really read the question that's been asked. Makes it even worse when you give the correct answer, provide a reference link and then get an infraction for your trouble about not adding worth. And then when you ask about it, it gets ignored.
It would be nice if there were no off-topic threads, but unfortunately that's probably never going to happen. Sub-sections are created as needed, and it's not just off-topic areas that are newly created. In reality, search engine topics is off-topic from the original forum since this forum was started as a support forum for users of our products/tools only.
Well that was a long time back. We are talking about now! Doesn't DP need a new name. It's only famous for it's marketplace and off chat discussions. I think if this goes on for like 2-3 years more this place will become a chaos. You guyz really ought to do something about it. Clear out posts, threads etc which are useless. Needless to say spams etc. I think Dp needs some cleaning up before it gets more polluted.
How about a plugin that shows you similar threads (based on title) before you post? I mean, how many more threads do we need on 301 redirection, etc etc.
Guess what! It just took my 30 seconds to find these many threads asking similar questions. is Dp signature useful? How to find backlinks?how to find quality backlinks?what are backlinks? Comon man. This is what Dp teaches you. There are at least 15k threads on link development and still you couldn't find the answer???? http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1396377 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1521668 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=45245 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1515511 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1518463 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1518043 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1516047 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1513751 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1420241 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1508351 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1515430
