There should be some form of communication between the user AND who ever is in charge here... currently.

There should be communication in a way where users know what updates

are coming and warn of future slow downs that were on the horizon to the site.

Possible shutdowns, bugs, glitches and anything that are to be possible inconveniences should be warned.

Because Dxpnet risk the chance of losing more and more users due to THESE inconveniences.

We've already seen other sites or forums created to hold the attention of jaded or flustered

users when the site would abruptly shut down (with no warning) and eventually there could BE another forum

created that holds our attention indefinitely where none of the users would even want to return.

Yes, there will always be new users arriving but if this lack of communication, LACK of engagement

with the users, with us, were to continue, then who knows how long these new users will stay and

they could even be convinced to not even stay by the users on the new competitive site.

It would just be an endless cycle of dxpnet trying to figure out how to hold our attention

when the core root of the problem lies with some form of communication with the users.

Answer: bulletin or something on the front page that lets everyone know

what was to come to the site and why certain malfunctions were occurring.

2. There should also be communication with users who are experiencing

glitches or malfunctions with their own profile. We shouldn't have

to go through profile challenges alone, ESPECIALLY when contacting

dxpnet through the site, email , or twitter lends us to *silence* leading us to believe we are ALONE

in the situation.

Because not engaging with a user who is having technical difficulties with their profile gives off the

impression that the user is ALONE in the situation and that YOU, the moderator, is ((NOT)) concerned.

Granted, you've done a marvelous job with helping and aiding with out even

saying a word and I THANK YOU ((but)) how long can this go on without the risk of further confusion

and assumed alienation due to lack of communication ESPECIALLY if your method of aiding FAILS.

How can we fix or improve this?

You, the creator or admin of the site could engage with the users and let them know

WHY they are locked out (not banned), invisible, and going through any other new hindrance (or precaution)

that could be sorted through email, thread, or something through dxpnet to let us know you care about us

beyond what ever financial gain you may earn because of our involvement to the site.

And I'm aware that maybe the lack of communication from you could be to protect the site or even yourself,

but this form or aiding (lack of engaging with us) is without a doubt a risk and could potentially

be the downfall of the site so I urge you to reconsider how you go about helping..

I truly love the site and the people here

and so I only say all of this to help improve what is already a sacred community to me. ..

Anyway, thank you for reading if you do...

But I know you won't or care to do

anything?

You aren't the only one believe it or not. Souun seem to have the same issue. He tried making account after account and it won't let him post anything viable to be seen by anyone.

I don't think Duncan gives a shit about this website. If he did, he'd probably fix it. Only reason he'd turn back is if it ain't making him any money to see wtf is going on.


Pretty much..

We don't pay for this service.

He make money from ads. As long as dxp stays on top of search engines and randoms whiz through and click some ads, he doesn't care.

This is ridiculous, I have my tablet signed out and refresh it to see if my post is actually public and most of the time they ain't.

Maybe you haven’t give enough effort?

Lol.

How have you been Gemi?

Can’t you read?

I think so lol.

Fine, don't tell me. I will just assume you have been well :p

I think only people who pay (subsribed to this site) should criticize....

I dont get this whiny entitlement of some free users, tbh.

Like, its a free service, free forum.....why should this Duncan be concerned?

Start your own free forum and manage it to your satisfaction, I suggest


@Pandora



...well all of us (free users as well as subscribers) use something more valuable

than money to be on the site which is our time. And usually when one uses a huge

amount of time on anything they generally *would* go in the direction/action of NOT seeing that thing end..

I was aware that me creating such a thread would come off as an eye sore or me being B*tchy or whiny

but please know this was a last resort, a plan z, after my other efforts has failed.

Me pointing out issues and giving advice to him though is me being productive, getting some type of ball rolling

in the direction that the issues here are eliminated so that the site does NOT

eventually end. I'm not simply just ranting and raving for the sake of nothing.

@Gemitati

And yeah, I can create another site or forum for myself but who says I'm not doing that?

The point is that I'm not ignoring the issues and just running off to my own site.

I bring up the issues here, under a forum titled "How would you make this site better"

[[[ which I assume he created to seek out guidance from us to help improve dxpnet ]]]

because I love the site and don't want it to become another website of the past.

Why should Duncan or who ever is in charge care?

Because him NOT caring will eventually mean the end of what HE created and I wouldn't want to see that happen.

nn...

I guess that could be up for debate

depending on how one sees how

the site has been run up to now.

I personally don't think it has been

going down hill that long.

Its just that now...

things are not being done to fix

or help from his end and we are

Only doing things that he / the site

has suggested for further assistance.

Well, that is clearly Duncan's attitude, which is why the site is broken and losing most users who actually practice astrology.

"Well, that is clearly Duncan's attitude, which is why the site is broken and losing most users who actually practice astrology."

well, its a free site. How many times we thanked this Duncan guy for running it for yeeeears? We cant be that entitled. Its like when I watch some series online (free) and people berate the person who is doing the subtitles... like: how it comes the subtitles are not on?? how long we have to wait—!!! and I always thought: you moron, let it be, otherwise we dont get subtitles at all, its not like you are paying for it so you are entitled to a service, its free for god´s sake!!

This site runs for how many years? it is perfectly possible that Duncan is more interested now in some other things, or just get fed up with the trolling unbalanced happy-to-be-banned-because-it-means-you-are-badass-and-you-are-a-nobody-if-you-havent-got-banned-at-all mentality

🙂

come to think of it, I have not thanked Duncan ever myself, it felt so granted to have dxp....... now, lots of people complain to feel taken for granted in threads... I think this is the same, we take dxp for granted

No one here really uses astrology. There are much better places to go if that's what you're looking for.. and it's evident not soon after you join here. People don't stick around here for astrology.

I've made peace with the multiple accounts badge if anyone gives a toot. There it is. Whatever.

Image Not Found

I was wondering if I subscribed

could I get it removed.

Even if I delete Shaju* or This Aju* account though...

That remaining account will always have the badge because

the account I want (my original Aju account) has locked me out and I'm not

getting any kind of assistance with getting it back.

It sounds like you actually do have multiple accounts, but for a valid reason. (Edit: Never mind what I wrote before. I misunderstood the problem.)

I don't actually have multiple accounts, as I deleted the old one. It's just remembering that I've been here before or getting stuck or something.

I don't have one. Even though I did made multiple accounts to try and get one that would not be invisible. I deleted the others and gave up. Though I did get banned for it for a little while. I tried to appeal about it. I wonder if that fixed my account.
