Just another reason why DP sucks.

[waffles]

It sucks. I never felt at home there. Well, as much as you can anyway to a bunch of people you only know online in a place that only exists when the powers not out in the right place.

Yeah I have over 1800 posts there and they treated me like sh*t..

[waffles]

I have less than 50 and they treated me like that. What a way to welcome someone new, huh?

Y'all did a much better job.

I read through some of your posts and well TBH it's not hard to see why you were not liked there if you were not. Opening new threads when you should have posted into an existing one, making sexist comments, complaining about merged threads and that's only after skimming 2 pages of your posts.

Especially Crazy_Rob, I have nothing but respect for that guy and he even said you were annoying the hell out of him

EGS:

DP stands for Digital Point

Thanks! I've been there, but not enough to know it's got a nickname, obviously.

@ Waffles.
Your posts from what I read at DP were actually helpful, I didnt' see where you were not welcomed, maybe one thread hit you wrong?

Either way I am going to try to give you some green loving there tomorrow

All I want to know is -- what is a peanut gallery?

At last, someone here is asking a REAL question
What is a peanut gallery anyway?

[DarrenC]

Dunno G10, I'm hoping that cute geekchick will come by and tell us

[John Scott]

# (figurative) people whose criticisms are regarded as irrelevant or insignificant (resembling uneducated people who throw peanuts on the stage to express displeasure with a performance); "he ignored complaints from the peanut gallery"
# second balcony: rearmost or uppermost area in the balcony containing the least expensive seats

# The phrase peanut gallery dates back to the early 20th century in America, referring to the least expensive section in the rear of a theatre. The same seats in British theatres were (and still are) often called the gods because you were so high you seemed to be halfway to heaven. ...

damnit now you 2 have me thinking what a peanut gallery is! I have a few guesses...

bah I'm never going to get to sleep

edit

Thank you JS

[DarrenC]

Ahhh now I understand

Use define: John?

[John Scott]

Yup.

[G10]

I see, thanks John.

So basically, chicgeek is a cheapskate











Ok, now I'm for it

[John Scott]

People use the phrase to suggest that criticism is unwarranted. It's like saying "consider the source". Whatever the peanut gallery has to say, it's still just the peanut gallery.

Where did she use it?

[John Scott]

On the topic of this thread, I don't think people should try to pit on forum against another, unless the place is wholesale evil (WMW) or fanatically greedy and inundated with advertising (SP).

DP isn't a bad place. There are serious issues that should be addressed, like the anonymous rep issue, but many of the members here are also members there, and vice versa, so you know some good people post there.

I honestly think that the anonymous rep issue is the only one that keeps the big name SEO's from posting there regularly.

But then, big name SEO's tend to just post on Cre8asite or WMW, and even then not very often.

[DarrenC]

John, do you think since the popularity of blogs has exploded that big name SEO'ers have left forums?

[John Scott]

No, I think that many still post, they just post where they have the most seniority (respect).
