SitePoint Forums vs. DigitalPoint

I know of many well run forums. I have a few I like best because of the laid back chillin but helpful people. I think the forum owners should get together and form a round table. maybe a site called Forummasters.com if not taken. A place for people wanting to start a forum and people that run well run forums. This would be for all aspects of forums that deal in differrent area of subject matter.

 

I'm just a grunt. Hi to all peons. DP ownz for me.

 

SitePoint is having it's own little war right now! They fired Aspen, then a few others fired themselves, and it looks like there turning in to another SEOChat!!!

 

Grrrrrrrr Nino we Voted same

BTW i hate SP bcos of their TONS of Advertising

DP is cool in respect of advt

 

I think I would rather SP because I am more used to them then here. But that is the reason I signed up here, because I need to learn more and I heard this is a good community to do that

 

In my opinion...

SPF - A webmaster discussion forum with some marketplace forums.
DPF - A webmaster marketplace with some discussion forums.

I hope to make mine the best of both!

 

Well, the forums here at DP are very friendly, and not to mention, the members at this community are top notch. I love it here.

The only thing I like about SitePoint is their marketplace, but I lost interest in it when they started charging. I only sell sites there when I know they will sell for large amounts so I don't waste money listing them.

DP all the way!

 

SP and DP have different specialties or features that is popular to their site.So I dont like comparing them.

 

For me, it's DP only. I have yet to register at SP.

 

I think i am a member on both (not sure), but only prefer to visit sites which load fast for me (like DP)
Morever, i am impressed with the level of support provided @ DP.

 

Here's examples of the SitePoint war....!!!!

It isn't a war as such, just one demoting and then a lot of followers

 

Out of curiousity has there been a drop in active membership over there or is it only the moderators that are leaving?

 

I am seeing a lot less funny and less posts that do not resolve around selling something or a review. But Chris' (Aspen) forum is really benefitting from this because all moderators and people affectionate for him are going there

 

It's definitely busier than the last time I was there. Also noticed a new thread called boycott Sitepoint.

 

A lot of members are moving to Aspens boards,

Though, since SP already has a ton of members, it probably won't do any more than a dent in activity there, unlike the SEOChat thing, while Aspens boards have got a big increase in activity.

Take a guess who 'FPU' is!!

Hint, he'll be back posting here at DP on...Mar 8th 2006, 8:00 pm.

 

Lol...After reading 3 posts in that htread, FPU has got to be Anthony, or maybe someone is copying his posting style

<<added - I wrote that before Nintendo said anything >>

 

Oh yes, that's him all right!!!! FPU= Forum Posters Union and in that thread he links to...

http://www.forumpostersunion.com/showthread.php?t=191

which is a thread made by....AnthonyCea!!!!

 

I've read the first 2 and the last page of the thread, they've closed it. Must have turned into one big anti-SP rally.

 

Didn't even see the link...it was all the smilies and revolution talk and the hint at a ban
