DV and DS are nearly polar opposites.

I went through a few weeks agonizing over which to choose.

And then realized that they both serve a purpose.

  DV runs on ancient, shitty software and is controlled by a bunch of complete jackoffs (the owner and admins, not the mods necessarily). It's also overrun with lunatics and trolls. But it's still the wild west, and that has a certain appeal.

  DS has a fantastic owner/admin and excellent software, but a relatively small user base and no trolls to speak of. It's a great source of news and weird stories. It's relaxing to a fault, and lacks dynamic tension and conflict. In short, there is no drama at DS.

  They are like two uncles, one geeky, soft-spoken and full of interesting facts, the other a heroin addict with a penchant for necrophilia. I love them both unconditionally. Family is family.

Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

I have to be honest with you. At this point I got nothin'.  I'll work on it though so tenkani, don't stray too far from the sanctity of your desk.

The reason I'm sticking with this site is that I enjoy information, and dislike confrontation and competition.  DS is a comfortable place.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

Yeah, comfortable, like a retirement home on a golf course

I must admit I did enjoy the odd go around the ring with a troll.  You certainly don't get that here.  I suppose it's better for my blood pressure.  

There's that reference to a retirement home again.

LOL. Don't get me wrong. I love it here.

I was just kidding on the square as Al Franken would say.

Compared to DV, DS is a graveyard.

But that's not necesarily a bad thing

Not to the corpses, in any case.
And neither is it to the villagers, I bet.

Chicklet

Are you implying that we are corpses?  If you don't like it here then perhaps you should go back to DV and STAY THERE! :P
