    Most members here have been to seochat and were very disappointed.

    I had a pretty good chuckle until I got to this post.

    Your memory is appauling IMHO

    Your counting skills are appealing IMHO

    Your inability aid in the discussion is appauling IMHO

    Your sense of time is appauling IMHO
    -------------------------------------
    Mod was there 12 hours before you and posted 1 hour 30 minutes after thread starter [prior to 5am AST] which suggests IMHO your reading skills lack or [giving you the benefit of a doubt] simply depress reply at the post in question and skip to post your expert guidance:

    It doesn't! two members commented prior to mod post and SEOChat's policy isn't to clean sweep threads... and for the record - I know of no forum that dedicates to that level of wasted effort!

    Well I do love a great debate - I thought your powers of observation and willingness to educate were impressive... I stand corrected.

    here the thread forums. seo chat . com/ showthread.php?p=201992

    I use some of the tools on SEO chat, and other than just visit if it comes up in SERPs when I'm looking for something.
    I find I don't normally need to go anywhere else other than DP. There are enough kowledgeable people on here that I normally get the information I require (and normally pretty damn quickly).
    DP also seems to have a reasonable community feel to it and doesn't get modded too harshly. One thing I can't stand is someone censoring what I want to say.

    I like to move some new information back and forth between the 2 forums in different threads I view. Some very good practitioners spend more time here than there or vice versa. Its enlightening to move the information back and forth.

    I want to jump in this timewarp and share my two cents on something that came up, and that was the use of a general forum. Many different forums might refer to something as off-topic.. but they all tend to serve the same purpose and are ususally one of the most popular meeting places on any forum.

    Problem for me, is I almost never visit them, hang out there or discuss things there. Sometimes I might drive by and even post, but that is always short-lived. Why am I like this? Easy... I belong to a lot of forums and have for a long time.. In fact I am ingrained to posting online messages back from when I started posting messages on BBS's some 25 years ago.

    For me there is always a place that is on-topic for what I want to discuss.. If I want to discuss webmastering stuff or adsense or the like this is a great place to do it.. If I want to discuss my tivo, a particular movie, or my favorite sports team, there is some place for that too. Often these specialized places have experts in a given area so it is some good information.

    Does this mean off-topic sites are devoid of good information or input? Absolutely not... It just means I tend to seek out on-topic sites for particular issues I am interested in... There are some major exceptions to that.. If something monumental happens... then I will tend to discuss matters in a place where I am most comfortable and spend the bulk of my time (9/11 for instance.. I didn't seek out political sites, war sites, terrorist sites, I actually spent my time on some gaming and technology sites I was a regular member on) But that is the exception.

    I do think these general discussion/off-topic areas can serve to broaden horizons, but to be honest, I don't kind time for that crap. :)

    Seochat was my second home before moving over to DP. It is just so hard to find any decent information over there among all the same newbie questions beeing asked 1000 times.

    And when you do find an interesting thread it is imposible to read because of all the butt-kissing that goes around with the on-screen reputation comments they have over there. You can see one line of text and then 12 people using the reputation feature and posting things like "interesting post" "you are so right" "another interesting comment" bla bla bla...

    I'm very happy you're saying that, because that has been bothering me over there since I've signed up about 1 1/2 years ago.

    The addition of Public rep which is mandatory to view, the shoutbox which is abused and the addition of even more ads within the thread has changed SEOChat even more.

    There are times when there are 2 or 3 members on now. Just 1 year ago that would never drop below 20.

    It seems a lot of people agree with you Fryman. DP is one of a handful of webmaster forums that continue to grow. And its because Shawn adds features that are useful, not ones that are added just for the sake of adding them and actually ruin the average users experience.

    what is up with the butt kissing, its sort of strange

    there will be one long winded post full of debatable information then like 12 posts of people saying how great or informative the post was

    or the holy than thou style seo people

    And it's always the same faces, too. Also I haven't seen any good information on there lately, all pretty much common knowledge stuff followed by the same old "You are always so right, *name*" stuff. Really lame IMO. Needs a make-over.

    I'm so disappointed in this thread. I keep reading it hoping there is going to be a call to battle. I've polished my armor three times. When are we actually going to challenge them in something? The "vs" is so misleading in this thread. I've been ready to smack some SEO Chat head. I think I have a few posts over there so I'll have to kick my own ass just a tiny bit, but I'm willing.
