    Hi guys ,

    I got established this week so feeling happy about it , When I came here I was just wondering why in this world people need to be established here,

    So after 5 months when I am established I know why.... I want to know your story to establishment here is mine ,

    I was bumped, I didn't get anything going wth anyone , not a single conversation , I helped people but it never helped me to be established,
    I was banned for posting in wrong category ,
    I had exams , I came back and WHoo Suddenly I am established :)

    So Let me here from you , What you suffered when you were not established

    I had been a long time member on the old DP and had a lot of "reputations" (I think that is what they were called back then) for running successful contests. I left for a year or two (or three) because I got caught up with business and other issues. A few months ago, I needed a logo and a website design and I immediately thought of running a contest. However, I quickly learned that I needed three likes to be able to post a contest.

    So, I began posting in subforums that I have some knowledge (sales, marketing and general small business management) and in about ten days I had my 3 likes and could post the contests that I wanted.

    Note, however, that in this process I re-discovered how helpful DP is to me in keeping me abreast of trends, etc. So, I have stayed and continued to participate.

    Not actually the case. You had one positive rep under the old system, which was imported as a Like. All positive rep a user had under the old system was imported as Likes (which is why there was something like 16,000 established members on day 1).

    I may have been referring to the wrong thing. I had run many contests and the people that won had indicated that it was a good deal, I paid what I said I would, etc. It was some sort of endorsement. That did not seem to come over in the switch. Not a big deal either way.

    Lol... You probably would have a better chance of getting established if you didn't wait to share your helpful things. :)
