DP is back?

I'am glad that the revenue sharing was disabled. I already see a reduction in the number of spam post.

Yes it can be the issue that new users must be spamming thread to increase post counts and to make few pennies . But I don't think the revenue sharing was helping anyone to generate good money . I made around $0.50+ in 2 years and my post count was more than 4k .

It very funny actually because DP has already dug their grave, got in it and they just have to wait for it to be covered now.

DP won't die so easily.

Only Google can kill DP.

As long as Google keeps sending traffic to DP, it will thrive.

It isn't easy to overtake established forums - especially ones like DP that are so pampered by Google.

The best strategy for newer forums that aim to overtake established ones is to constantly focus on quality of the community.

A friendly atmosphere is a plus point, but cannot be the driving force for any forum.

If Shawn unbans my stickycarrots account, which was supposed to unbanned about a year and a half ago, then I will care.

A friendly atmosphere can't be the driving force, but it certainly can be a driving force -- and a strong one at that.

In my niche, my only competitors are Yahoo Groups and for some reason, those groups are always filled with nasty, rude and arrogant people who do nothing but moan and incite fights within the groups. But my forum is now known as the "getaway" from all of this havoc. We have an extremely friendly community with very welcoming and pleasant members, like an e-family. Members bail from these Yahoo Groups and come to our forum and end up being life-long members of my community because it's so pleasant.

I do get 90% of traffic from Google (I'm #2 for my top keyword/phrase) but if I didn't have the friendly atmosphere going on, my forum wouldn't stand out.
