Put people here.

I leave for 13 years and everyone disappears. There are like 4 posters here, and all the oldies are lurking. This place used to thrive.

Should we advertise? incentives? Give aways?

There are too many topics. Can you condense it some?

And the "Updated" column on the Forums page is depressing to look at. Can it be deleted?

This is so easy. Unban all the Leo moons

😂

Wind them up and let them go.

Imagine busyeyes back telling us she was once scouted for playboy 🤣

Another blonde villain 🥸

Then FB saying he got scouted (at 40 or however old he is now) for a male bikini contest 🤣

Her disgust by the amount of Scorpios on the Taurus board was quite entertaining, can’t front. lolol

I quite like the amount of activity going on here. There is still a lot of activity on each post 🙂

I'm 22, so no, not everyone here is as ancient aged as you think they are. It's not hopeless. It's still quite nice going, in my opinion.

I was here 12 years now on and off and um....hmm this place ain't what it used to be. I notice it's change.

What did it use to be? I only officially joined in 2021 but read the archives in 2020. And I'm 22 so I'm probably almost the entire life span of dxpnet 😂

Gotta being back the creepy Scorpios to hit up the Geminis and Tauruses and random Sag posts. We also need more Leos cause they have the funniest questions.

Leo Suns? Or any? I'm Leo Mars and Gemini Ascendant. Pretty quick witted. If y'all want some funny posts, I can start some.

I mainly just come to ask personal astrology queries I have since it's an astrology forum site anyway.

Well, it used to be orange. Obviously black is the new orange. At least this site looks black on my end. I keep my phone screen on dark mode. Lots of catfights used to be going on. No butthurt feelings was around during that era. We had lots of clowns here, used to crack me up a lot. Geminis used to get a lot of heat from everybody.

That's just some of the things that went on when I first arrive on the scene. Dxp had no likes feature (something I can do without)

I can't remember how long ago this been but I once read from a lot of users that a random guy popped up in the middle of a dxp chat in the dxp chat room wearing nothing but his underwear dancing with a vacuum cleaner in his hands and singing. Talk about funny. I laugh so hard reading that until tears fell down my eyes. But those were some of dxp's finest hours.

Back then Jumping_Jupiter was proud to be known as women abuser…

And currently it's obvious you're not proud to be a yellow abuser. Trying to go brunette. Pfft please.

How's things going at the YMCA? What dinner was on their menu for today?

And I can't believe you unblock me just to quote allrounder on this. Smh! That's just crazy.

Younger people tend to be sensitive. Not even saying that like it's a bad thing. Only it makes this place dead, because no one wants to talking about anything controversial. Younger people don't want to talk about racism, sexism, or any other type of "ism" because it's upsetting. Back in the day it was like a dopamine rush. People on dxpnet could go absolutely wild, then still meet back up the next day to get into the next topic. Things aren't like that anymore, and I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing. It just makes a place like dxpnet kind of dead. Like we have more freedom here then any other social media platform, yet people don't care about controversy or hot button topics anymore. Even on a somewhat friendly level, people use to make dumb interesting topics like "If every zodiac sign was a drink, what would they be?" Even stuff like that doesn't happen anymore. It's just a bunch of sensitive youth, mentally tapped out middle age adults, and drunk boomers that seem to have trouble making a tangible sentence.

I just got back here the other day. I’ve been banned for years 😂!

Since I got back all I’ve noticed is Gemitati talking to herself from multiple alt accounts and Ands is like popular again and there’s no one cool here besides like that one texas guy who’s kind of a hoe.

I dunno what happened. The OGs are all gone and probably growing up and paying taxes.

I’ll give away all the Starbucks gift cards I get from work and crate and barrel.

If you bring me two new recruits that don’t instantly throw me under the bus for team Ands…the entire junk drawer in my house with gift cards is yours.

The only one with multiple alt accounts is your pan-face team

Fits your face 👌🏻

You’re an old school user lol…because you still can’t fucking post an image the new way and for it to populate correctly.

Using old school HTML code you copy and pasted.

I’ve never needed an alt account, but you shadow troll’s definitely do. Anytime I’m insulted physically by a troll, it’s always an indicator that’s your biggest insecurity. And I enjoy that more 🤭

People get their astro fix elsewhere.

When this place was active there weren't many websites that went in-depth on astrology let alone a community to discuss more esoteric ideas with.

Fast forward to today everyone and their mother has a tarot reading page on social media.

Astrology is ubiquitous and mainstream now. When DXP was at its peak astrology was niche.

New users joined for the astrology and stayed for the drama.

Lack of moderation made this place worth staying around for but failed to stamp out bullying and harassment effectively so people left for that reason too

Layout used to be simple, clean and uncomplicated. Nothing like other social media sites.

Old school message board with no like function.

Over time it became clunky and harder to navigate and don't get me started on Ads.
