DP was good, now its not

I agree. GC is the only section trailing off.

 

i joined in dec 2007 so not much i can say but i don't feel its degrading

only i can say is with DP is going down with the database issues

 

Im 15, does this apply to me

I do try to post as muturely as possible and I don't use 'leet speek' or anything like that and that applies to most people aswell.

I dont see much wrong with this forum, but I didnt see it in its former glory.

 

Dp has lost its Charm ....Buy/Sell/Trade Section is not much interesting any more .

 

This is exactly what I am talking about. You did cutting edge work and that work manifested here at DP. This is not happening any more.

 

wisdomtool, what I talk about is that people with unique ideas dont come here any more.

 

The threads that are perverted are also getting on my damn nerves. Most webmasters can't get any pootie tang, so they come to DP to share their fantasies and perverted minds.. when they actually need to get the hell off the computer and get laid, then get back to work.

This does not go for all the Indians - But I think most of the perverts are from India.

Holler?!

 

Internet marketing is an ever changing environment and it has peaks and valleys. It has been in a steady decline for awhile now. So the problem is not with DP, I think it is with the current state of internet marketing. as you might see the same state in other popular boards like WF.

 

So what color should I paint my room?

 

I dislike perverts and hentai..

 

muppet

Somebody needs a ban met thinks

 

I think wisdomtool has spoken the best solution there. I totally 500% agree!
And now I see some comments about Indians, please stop that. It's out of topic. Don't start.

 

I only just joined DP but I think that by the sounds of it, this forum is no different to anything else online. 10 years ago a far smaller percentage of the world had the skills to even create a website, let alone market it effectively. It was possible to make millions and many did. However like any market in the world, once everyone else see the profits they too get involved and the price falls accordingly.

Even in the last twelve to six months I have noticed a downfall in price of things on the net. I am involved in content and even twelve months ago it was 'easy' to find jobs paying $20/hr with little reputation. Now many people are only willing to pay $3 an hour. This is because of different countries monetry value as stated before; but also because of the nature of the internet. Payment has little relation to qualifications and also there is no way of inforcing minimum wage amoung other things.

So where will we be in five or ten years I wonder? The internet will have grown so large that there will be very little uniqueness possible. I surpose a few players will monopolise the industry and reap large profits while everyone else works for $0.30/hr.

The internet in general is far from the exciting place it used to be in terms of money-making.

 

Red hell

Back on topic, the prices fall is also due to the fact that one dollar worth more in other countries. Doing a given job for $25 has a different impact if the worker is in India or in England. While you might buy a couple of newspapers in England, you might pay your monthly rent in India. That's a huge difference. So Indians are cutting price down, which is fine to me since I definitely have an open market spirit. So no complain there.
My concern: lack of good and interesting webmaster interaction now.

 

I still find it very informative.

 

And now we are going the wrong way again. The OP was talking about experienced members disappearing and the lack of information that arises as a result.

We are not talking about prices, perverts, scammers nor trying to solve these issues.

 

The OP is correct. Damn people just posting to get some inbound links.. nowadays I don't even check the forum anymore, only threads from 2004/05 and some posts of high status members in the past.

There was one guy who in the spawn of two years went from $30/month to selling a $300k network on this forum. Won't tell you his nickname

Still, lots of money to be made as more and more people reach the internet everyday. I believe the US market is the one who is flooded, back at my home country there isn't a single website dedicated to SEO lol!!

 

Its working fine for me and for others also. If you are uncomfortable with DP then its better you find a better forum than DP. I am sure there is no one like DP!!!

 

I don't mind you saying this but I think you should stay away from involving a country's name everytime......A similar conflict happened - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=845071 and all indians(including me) were against you....lol....just an advice
