Where Did It All Go Wrong?
With the news that DS will be downsizing it might be pertinent to ask "Where did it all go wrong?"
What is you view? |

No idea, what does the downsizing consists of?

Nothing that we know of regarding the forums as yet, but we may as well start running around ringing our hands and assuming the worst now, just in case

Started at birth, pretty much all downhill from there on in, really.
If you mean about DS, search me. The creation of Facebook, possibly. |

Maybe people would pay a fee for an ad free experience?

Facebook certainly has had detrimental effect on conventional forums.

I really have never understood how. You comment on something, or even reply to something somebody has said, you wait hours, or days, for a reply - it's hardly as immediate as these forums can be!

Can't say I'm remotely surprised. DS has been a dysfunctional hot mess for about three years now. They don't listen to feedback, and they react to criticism by locking threads, deleting threads or banning members etc. They are really clueless these days.

I think that not repairing the forum has been a clue to what has been going on. A partially broken forum is a lot less satisfying than a totally functional one.

Before I enabled ad blocker on this site, I was getting all sorts of pop ups - some of which were loud with audio -, I was getting ads that would lock themselves in the middle of the screen and refuse to go away no matter what I did, and I had the pages freezing. All in all a right pain in the arse, and impossible to use the forum, never mind enjoy it.. |

I would if the ads weren't so invasive and disruptive.
