Why Does DP Suck lately?

    Sorry to vent, but DP has been annoying me lately.

    Tons of threads like "How To Make $500/day?" or "What is high paying niche?" or people randomly copy/pasting articles and passing them off as their own is killing me.

    Not only that, but most of the threads I get are filled with 70% crap responses, such as "I thin that is good" with the worst grammar and spelling ever seen, as if people are only posting to increase their post count, or as if their spam is going to generate them some Adsense clicks.

    I'm getting this feeling that most people posting here are trying to buff up their post count to either attempt to get Adsense clicks (lol), or simply to try and scam people later down the road.

    At any rate, I hope I'm not the only one getting annoying but the insane amount of garbage threads/posts, anyone else feeling this way or am I the only one?

    </vent>

    there does seem to be a lot of filler but still seems to be good info as well so i'm happy. I am very new though so not sure what it was like in the past.

    Yeah, but its getting harder and more annoying daily.

    I'm a long time lurker, not much of a poster, and its getting hard to get relevant answers or see real threads these days.

    :(

    I agree, there are a ton of filler... but it all depends wha tyou are looking for.
    As for myself, DP is a great tool, and good site to get opinions.

    Must admit I'm not much of a poster either, I keep myself to myself and just respond to requests posted in the Design forum via PM.

    i dun think so either. ,, dp is make friends and posting things. is all 4 fun. no1 is get hurt, why are you hate it?

    -----
    And now for the small print which nobody will read...
    Unless we make a serious and united attempt at cleaning up DP, it will all soon be over. There are still plenty of people on DP who care about this place, and who are happy to answer intelligent and legible questions - if only somebody would post them - but so many of us (I'm especially guilty of this) are reduced to making smart arse replies to stupid threads ("what car u drive", "how height r u" etc...), purely because there is nothing else to do. If I stumbled across DP today, without ever having been aware of how great it once was, I would immediately assume that it was a teen chat forum. Which, unfortunately, is exactly what it now is. Boo hoo bla bla bla.

    I have been on DP for more than 3 yrs now. DP has undergone a lot of change.

    When I had joined DP, it was a cool source of useful information and tips.

    Now, it is become a trading market for products and services.

    I hardly see any quality posts nowadays (compared to 3 years back).

    Many of the experts have abandoned DP...and others aren't sharing much...they prefer to sell ebooks...:p.

    Most of the activity has got concentrated in the BST forum.

    and those who aren't trading in BST seem to be wasting time in the General Chat forum making stupid threads:

    "how do I get a girl?"
    "how many time you have been banned?"
    "what is your height?"
    "how many posts you have?"
    "how big is your...?"
    ............:rolleyes:
