Title: DS is Hot Now; DV is Sinking
Post by: Adam_Fulford on Mar 10 07 01:23
 Glad to see that people are leaving that cesspool of degeneracy and idiocy at DV and switching over to DS, a higher calibre and more intelligent forum.

  I agree Adam. DV is a complete piece of shit! It is sad that that forum has the name Vancouver in it. Vancouver is a beautiful place, that site gives overflowing outhouses a good name!

It's baffling to me why DV isn't cleaned up and the site held to a little higher standard. The city of Vancouver should be ashamed that this kind of stuff goes on in their name. I can only imagine what prospective tourists think when they stumble across the site while researching "places to go in Canada".

How long has it been since Mike has been claiming that user registration is coming? 2 years? 3 years? 5 years?

Why do they let the spammers and racists and nazis run rampant?

How can they tolerate all the "my poop stinks" and "pussy" threads?

Mike claims registration will happen within this month or the next. Give or take this year. He claimed it so when he went on-air. Watch and see what happens.

The only way it can sink faster is if people bring it to the attention of the media again...everyone has reverted back to the racist, sexist etc. posting, so nothing has changed despite the bad publicity...except for the fact that a lot fewer people go on there now.  
Title: Re: DS is Hot Now; DV is Sinking
Post by: dewey on Mar 11 07 10:00
I previously sent emails to a couple of the advertisers on DV, telling them about the racism etc. They replied and weren't aware of the site, but assured me they would look into it. A couple of days later the paper article appeared, and a couple of days after that, Mike was trying to defend himself on CBC radio. Coincedence? Maybe. If he disassociated the site with Vancouver, a beautiful city, i'd be much happier. We'll see what happens.

They call it the 'Scum of Vancouver chat' & 'Vancouver's Worst Forum'.

For very good reasons...

I am staying as far from DV as possible.  It is only trouble.

Most of the moderators over there have some serious psychological issues.

Beware of DV.

It's baffling to me why DV isn't cleaned up and the site held to a little higher standard.   Unfortunately, the concept of "cleaning up" DV that's in vogue right now involves stifling harmless free speech. I checked in the other night and saw that someone's thread had been deleted because they were asserting that a certain mod should be fired. It's always a fine line between order and rigid authoritarian bullshit, and several of the current mods have moved to the dark side IMO, at least where that is concerned.

  They have completely misunderstood both the negatives of DV and (more importantly IMO) they have lost sight of what makes it great. At this point I don't spend much time on DV, not because of the racism (which I loath but can stomach), but because some of the mods and one admin in particular are shitting on the vibrant heart and soul of something I love.

Yeah. Mike is a dick tree but it was pretty bad before him.

It always comes in waves. Waves of racism and hate and waves of creativity and magic.

Mike is just worse because he decided to show up on the forums in person and make an ass of himself.  
Title: Re: DS is Hot Now; DV is Sinking
Post by: Lise on Mar 12 07 11:36
The highlight of the story was when Mike decides to ASK everyone how he should perform when he went on the interview. That was HILARIOUS!!!

  Then to write back and said, he'd gone and done pretty good despite the hottie at the other end. Guess you can see the professional level that can only come from him.

orik...castration is a little over dramatic.  I heard the interview.  She painted a picture of herself being a self righteous bitch and seems that she was dabbling in threads that alot of DVers wouldn't frequent.  Mike did an alright job of defending DV.  Took forever for the story to air and then..they asked for people to phone in comments and then didn't air them.

It doesn't take a fortune teller to see where the traffic will head, how the tide will turn. DV is as is like Rush Limbaugh. He may have had his time in the fart-fueled light during the dark ages, but now, in the light of day, he's exposed for what he is -- a foul and putrid conservative slug with a trail of slime around him, just like Scooter Libby. In the same way, DV is exposed for what it is -- a cesspool of bigotry, hypocrisy, and stupidity.  I still hate George W. Bush and neo-Conservatives, and hated them even when they were hot, because they're bad for American and bad for the world. They're helping China take over, by making the world turn away from America in disgust. But now the tide is turning. I was right. You were wrong. Americans are finally seeing the light of day. DV is like Richard Nixon. DS is like John Kennedy. DV is stagnant, uninspiring, ugly, and hateful. DS, on the other hand, is vibrant, intelligent, and hip.

 DS is still too much like high school with a few select and popular students that take over the board, leaving little room for newcomes to make their presence known. I compare DS to York House, all hoity-toity and elite, while DV is like Gladstone, tough and messy at times, but good when it can be.  At least on DV newcomers from the old-timers to the poo flingers are accepted if they can tough it out, plus if DV ever became registered it still would receive far more traffic and have more diversity than DS.

I'm curious as to why anyone feels the need to compare them.

  DV is what it is, as DS is what IT is.  It's no different than the Toronto vs Vancouver, Apples vs Oranges, Is This better than That  etc.   Why can't it just be left that people choose which forum gives them what they're looking for, for their own reasons.

Lol, it kinda baffles me too. It's not like we're in competition with DV, nor do I want to put DV out of business, take their members, replace DV etc etc. It's just another site. If I wanted to compete I'd just register [span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 191);"]www.discovervancouver.org[/span] and start beating the drum. (Yes, that domain is available, BTW. Should we register it and make a parody site? (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif) )

So, I don't get it. Why people feel the need to compare them is a mystery to me.
