    I like it, it's sometimes good to hear people's random thoughts.

    Addicted to this shithole? DP is full of broken english speakers, spammers, scammers, people tryna run up their post count and generally people who are just out to try and make a quick buck. Gone are the days when it was a community and people actually tried to help others on a larger scale.

    What pisses me off the most is that my last 5 or so topics I've posted (the one's that are asking for help or something, and not trying to sell or advertise) have yielded a massive FUCK ALL replies. Yet all the crappy threads that barely make any fucking sense get reply after reply.

    I mean SERIOUSLY...a topic entitled "nowadays i am addicted to dp general chat ? what u feel about this friends ?" with a crap description gets replies, whereas my latest thread "SEO tips please :)" with masses of clear information on where I need help and all the relevant details added get's none??? How???

    Don't get me wrong - there are still good elements left. In fact, if you post in certain categories still there are a few decent people, and the tools are bigger and better than ever. I guess it's not really Shawn/Digitalpoint's fault - they can hardly say "If you don't speak good English fuck off".

    All I'm saying is that it's a well known fact that the Digitalpoint forums are overrun by barely literate (in English) people, which really does hinder DP's expansion. Not that Shawn really cares, he's probably laughing all the way to the bank.

    Anyone agree?

    I kind of agree, on the part that the dp owners are laughing all the way to the bank. but not so much on the rest of your rant... please understand, dp's mostly populated by visitors from asia now... that accounts for the low level of english, but it's a free forum, and you can't expect it to be perfect.

    I'm nowhere near addicted to dp's general chat, but it is a hotpot of the most random questions and answers, due in part to everyone trying to pad their post count. but this happens on forums everywhere. Maybe you're angry that you didn't get help on some of your threads, but you might want to try some more seo specific forums to get tips.

    It's normal for threads to get zero responses, especially when you're asking for help on a topic that most people make a living from. No one wants to share their SEO secrets, you have to buy their ebooks for that. That being said, you can try seochat or seoforums.org to get better results.

    From what I've experienced over the past few months, dp has more people coming in here for help than people offering help. I think the more knowledgeable people have either left or they won't speak up. Can't expect too much from a free forum right?

    I just replied to your thread, hope it helps.

    I totally agree. I mean I wouldn't care much if I had a forum as large as DP.

    General chat means just that. You chat about random things. It is not designed to be a specific question and answer.

    I agree. General Chat is to chat about random thoughts and ideas. If you want to post about help with SEO and are angry that no one is posting on your thread, you should post it in the SEO forum.

    Totally agree with you. Nothing to learn or discuss on this section. But just a part time enjoyment to share something personal.

    Frankly speaking you are wasting your valuable time being in the general chat. I mostly come in this section when I click on "what's new?" and find lot of threads in general chat which are really unwanted threads. Instead I would recommend you to travel and spend your time in threads like SEO, Link development, programming or google. You will certainly increase more knowledge in these sections or in buy, sell, trade section, if you wanna make some money :)

    Well, I realize this general chat forum are not much of value from "knowledge" point of view. But I find a little fun to realize that different people have different point of view and opinion. I'm happy there are some people out there who still have respect to each other.
    I'm not addicted though.

    I prefer to be proactive as opposed to merely complaining.I believe if you don't like something then either abandon it or change it.General Chat does need a bit of tweeking here and there. I see an oppurtunity and I am willing to be part of a catalyst for change.
    If anyone feels there is no community then build one.This is easy and it is happening right before your eyes.First we discourage the bullies and then welcome the friendly types.....so easy.[o]
