"Hate" is such a strong word. I don't think all of us hate DP, just some. I think the majority
of the dislike comes from the amount of unethical (and illegal) practices that take place on
DP. Even though they have rules against it, many still get away with it.

Sometimes, that questionable activity tends to spill over to this forum and I'm sure WT and
its members would prefer not to have the same bad reputation. That is my personal dislike.

Because DP represents the vast majority of "me-generation" self-absorbed vested interest political BS thinking that pervades the web design and web marketing industries. From get rich quick scams to how to screw with search engines in ways so silly they make baby talk sound intelligent, it's all there.

If the mods paid half as much attention as they should, 95% of the posts would be prefaced with the word "SCAM" just so that newer, more naive webmasters wouldn't fall for the same crap and waste time and money.

Basically, DP is a modern-day adaptation of Amway: useless crap peddled in a pyramid scheme.

which has nothing to do with AMRAY

For me is the fact that people don't pay attention to what poster above says,
or listen to advise, or instruction(s) etc.

We ask them "Please read Submission Guidelines" and yet they submit their sites
as if there is no request posted or Guidelines are not there fro them to read.

The amount of "They hate us because they're banned from DP" type of posts over there is getting quite ridiculous, so lets see how many of us fit your "criteria":

ADAM Web Design (aka AWD1) - Not banned, hasn't posted over there in 2 years
ForrestCroce (aka Forrest) - Not banned
Learning Newbie (aka Alexander the Great) - WAS banned, not anymore, but he was against DP before even joining them
tripy (also tripy) - Not banned
whym (also whym) - Not banned
fastreplies (also fastreplies) - Not banned
christopher (aka Chroder) - Not banned, never made a post
jamestl2 (myself, also jamestl2) - Not banned, never made a post
st0x (also st0x) - Not Banned
TimSchroeder (also TimSchroeder) - Not banned

Other reputable members like vangogh, chrishirst, LadynRed, etc. I'm not sure about, I don't believe they've ever had DP accounts.

As you can see, spewing out illogical reasons about banning, jealousy, etc. makes those of you presumptuous <this would get snipped>. As I said before, read Adam's posts I gave in post #5.

I don’t hate DP and I don’t think “hate” is applicable label.

Justified truthful coverage and consideration of facts would be more appropriate description of some WT members opinions but not by any stretch of imagination hateful or jealous remarks.

I don't hate DP, but there you can find many SCAMS and useful tips, the main activity at DP is selling anything in any way

There are some forums that would ban you for slandering them on other forums.
Fortunately for you, there are respectable adults that run this forum. However,
I wouldn't think any less of them if they did.

Worst at slating DP!

I like the Sites For Sale area here, cos theres less people.

I have 6 infractions at DP, so another one? I dont care!

Are there even infractions here? As far as I know we only have TP. Nice attitude by the way, is it just me or does it appear to everyone else that you came here to pick a fight?

I'm going to take a completely wild guess and say this this thread is going to end up closed if this discussion continues. Correct me if I'm wrong, otherwise I'm going to start taking bets as to how long this thread has left

Why do people hate DP - that's a great question. Just the other day, I was wondering why everybody doesn't like Herpes. I mean, VD is really active, too, so that makes it great doesn't it?

1 good moderator, and 4 good members.

DP Democracy is a lot like Iraqi Democracy. In that it's (1) a fraud, and (2) in need of hired guns to even try to make it work.

I just came up with the one completely irrefutable argument that puts Webmaster-Talk in a class way higher than DP:

DP has a great nickname that outlines just how stupid the place is. WT doesn't.

I couldn't agree more. Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like DP.

It's full of scammers and people who want something for nothing.

Though I have to say I was banned from there, I had two different accounts (one through work, and one for personal use). I accidentally accessed both accounts from the same IP, and was clobbered with a ban. Oh well.

You know what else DP stand for?

Seriously Peter, judging by your comments over at DP that Lance posted, you're not interested in WHY we dislike it at all, you're just here trying to stir up trouble.
