What's happening to DP?

    It appears to be losing activity. I've noticed less, and less personally, but I've also noticed that Alexa is showing a steady decline as well. I'm just curious if anyone knows or has ideas as to what is happening. It's a great site with a lot of friendly, smart people.

    It seems to be mostly in the past year.

    They had a nice spike a couple years ago though.

    I think its all because of antipaid links and antidirectories campaign by google that is decreasing the activity :eek:

    Good point.

    Maybe with the lack of a PR update and people becoming less and less interested in it that they are not returning here.

    It's too bad. It's a great resource for other things too.

    @ninno -- those are cumulative stats.. They add up and add up and addup... so they will always go high (even if it becomes 100 visitors ) :D

    Alexa shows the daily/weekly traffic stats

    I looked for the above mentioned attacks that are apparently being waged on DP Forums, but couldn't find any.

    Been down most nights this week, if this carries on DP will die a slow and lonely death especially with all the issues behind the scenes.
