Well it's been close to a month since the big changes on DP. I feel that's enough time for members to have gotten a real sense of how things are. Enough time has now passed that the emotional responses should now be replaced by fact and logic. So....now that you all have had enough time to get used to it are you feeling comfortable with the new DP? I have noticed a *lot* less complaining in the last week or so. Also for me personally I am absolutely delighted at all the (old) new members who are now posting that wern't posting before. They may be new to posting but judging by their postcount, the've been around for quite sometime. Anyway one last thing.....please remember that it is a *free* site and it is a privilege to be here, not a right.
It is always comfortable and we will get more buyers and seller soon on BST section after 1 month because I had also observed the same that people are now posting in all areas to get "Precious 3 Likes". and we will get all things like old DP soon with 90% less spam.. As Shawn said earlier "Changes are never accepted at first impression" now people accepting all things. Also My advise to admin and mods please make one sticky thread in this section for the questions repeatedly asked like "How to become established?" "How to get likes?" "Why I can't see like button?" "How to bump and edit thread?" "How to send PM or start new conversation?" "How to purchase premium membership?" etc..etc..(I can make list of all this FAQ if you wish) This things also helps you so you don't need to reply again and again. @Spoiltdiva - I also love the same thing that DP is free just we have to make some valuable post not like other forum we have to pay $30-$40/thread
Very good post with good suggestions. I'll have to wait for more posts, but I believe you *may* get "Best Answer".
Thanks I also wants to see now what people think after one month..hope to get nice response otherwise mods needs to lockout thread like this one because some people(Spammers) can never accept the changes https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/do-you-like-the-new-3-likes-rule.2630586/
If you've got a crush for me just come out with it already. Sheesh You must be one of those traditional girls that thinks the guy should make the first move. I agree with you, there has definitely been a marked improvement in the quality of discussions.
Good to see here nice friendly discussion. Some great points have been mentioned in the thread. Yeah, this kind of FAQ with those questions will surely build a good database and people will easily get the answer without waiting for the reply.
An improvement in post quality. There's still some crap posts, but less. A lot less spam, too. Some good new members. A lot of cry babies, but some people just can't cope with change. A sticky about likes and just close any new threads made, but with a link to the sticky would help reduce the blubbering, IMO. But that's up to the powers-that-be. Most of all, the new theme is great. (I'm sure some will say I'm "arselicking", but I don't care , I've been making websites as hobby since about 1998, tried many forums and this is the one I found I prefer.)
One more observation performed by me.. here people are crying for 3 Likes but we had few members who had already more than 1000 Likes but never visited this updated new forum...really miss them.. here is few of them https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/crazy_rob.3285/ https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/blogmaster.559/ https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/nintendo.2089/ https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/timsdd.31329/ Wish they comeback soon so they will come to know how much proud they should feel
I wonder if Nintendo is still a virgin. Based on his extended absense from DP, I'd say he's busy chasing booty.
Shawn was recently stalking him on facebook apparantly: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/nintendo-is-weird-as-ever.2635643/
And I've got infraction for spam, OMG. I can't wait to see if admin will get infraction. When you're discussing, specially in suggestion thread, you must expect two sides, one for that suggestion and one agains't. That doesn't mean they are spamming .
Err... no you didn't. But I guess you can have one now if you really want. {shrug} Now take the email you just got and compare it to whatever one you thought was for spamming. You should see a difference.
