I see this site like a hallway that leads to a very important part of your life. Many of us have found it while finding something so new to us such as astrology. The ones who fall into depression also, a breakup, a new relationship, or a birth of a child. I know it is a forum but still. I believe this place to be a vehicle 🚑 that guides through different discoveries in our lives. Does this make sense? An angel but indifferent one at that 😐. Very mysterious yet shallow at the same time. The Spirit of Dxp. This is what it means to me. 🎶

Obviously the secret question has to been posted the same time I posted my comment cus I didn't see that one.

As for the secret question at hand, hell no! Keep this site as it is. A secret. I might run across someone or two I know. And as many times I've describe how I look is enough to make me think that some of these users sound like someone they know. I try not to give myself away too much.

Idk about love. But it's a spot to go to interact with people I don't know irl. Get different views, joke around. Talk about things I absolutely cannot discuss IRL because let's face it, certain metaphysical discussions require a different mindset than most people are willing to admit to having or discussing, and likely most people won't believe in (I imagine more people believe in ghosts). There's a few users here that genuinely helped me through a very weird (to me, at the time) situation and that I definitely love and appreciate. Sure there's those here that still need to put others down to feel better about themselves but they're easily ignored.

I’m a huge introvert. Growing up I’ve always been part of various of online communities in a forum setting. On top of the anonymity they are usually more small and “close-knit” vs like Facebook groups these days with your identity and other personal information out in the open among thousands of others. The different vibes and presence of toxicity has always been a psychological interest to me. I found dxp during my early college years. It was definitely more wild here during then. I think the amusement of that is what kept me around longer than I thought. Throughout the stressors of real life I’d find odd comfort and entertainment in the amusement around here. Reddit can provide quick mental stimulation and amusement too but the communities are huge and sometimes way more regulated.

I’ve been here almost a decade 😱 My activity level here ebbs and flows. I think the people who make multiple accounts here throughout their time have ironically spent the most on here despite them coming off as disconnecting from here at multiple points. I think it takes more effort to remember new logins.

I most likely will still keep this account around two decades from now if Duncan still has it running because I’d probably be a bored, empty nester then.

Secret Question:
Should Dxpnet be more famous than it is or should it remain in the realm of the niche? ☽**

I think it should stay hidden. The beauty of this site is that you find it randomly, feels like destiny getting here.

Thank you 🙏 @AquaClassy

I think I may agree. A secret back door kind of a site. My moon sign is a bit fixed though. Hard to accept change sometimes.

I don't think any of us would cope if it suddenly got popular 😂

Thank you 🙏 @bqexpand

I think new popularity would definitely challenge quite a few of us. We already have a few that likes to tear the site down, which makes no sense, so with more people it could be more of these type of people.

Why are most people not into things like this?

Too scared to think beyond what was taught to them as children? Beyond A book. Why afraid to study and learn for themselves. I think about it a lot. We can pay bills but can't think for ourselves? I don't understand.

I think originally it was a place, I just turned 30 and was going through a big transition of questioning how I fit into society culture and corporate America. And it was this radical place for me, where I could express myself as I wanted without expectations or repercussions. And there were so many creative people here at that time, that they inspired me. And found a place where there were people who excepted me for who I truly wanted to be. I cared less about anyone expectation of me.

I think some of that was anonymity of the forum, some was seeing so many people who seemed authentic, but some of it was also just the concept of astrology, and learning and understanding the differences people and traits. Which in a way made everything acceptable, which was a pretty radical for me at the time, living in a world where there seemed to be so many rules on how to be successful at life.

It was a great place to be exposed to different ideas and concepts that I wouldn’t have been in my life otherwise. My experience at DXP, has lead me to grow as a person in the best ways. But that kind of transformation process that happened for me, is not easy to go through, I blocked out a lot of people and experiences in my “real life”, because I wanted to spend my time being in this environment where I could interact authentically, and process all that I was learning and experiencing outside of the mainstream world.

But what it was for me no longer exist and can never exist for me again here. And I don’t think there is enough engagement now or likely in the future for it to be like that for someone new. Now if I do post, its still a place where I can be authentic and say what I really want but I’m more so just saying it into the abyss now. It can be cathartic, but honestly it’s just a glorified journal for when I want to express my thoughts or ideas.

Pragmatism, fear, inability to review and question core beliefs, not wanting to appear "crazy"

I admit, it's hard to believe even when things happen to you, that they could really be what they appear to be. When there's no physical tangible evidence...we want to cling to the "known", the beliefs that its a coincidence or something that can be "explained away" by your mind "playing tricks".

My own "thing" kind of runs against the norm of relationships and so I can't discuss it. Even here people make fun of the concept, and can't understand the things involved. I think if more people were able to be open it might make people see and realize it's more common than we think. Once people learn something is happening to many others, suddenly they're willing to believe.

I recently learned that the singer Tom Petty wrote the song Angel Dream about his second wife. He dreamed of her, even her name, while he was still married to his first wife, Jane. He had only seen Dana, his second wife, in the crowd at one of his concerts before that dream. She was married at the time too. Eventually they both divorced, their paths crossed again, they were married and still were when he passed away. There's a whole story there, but it's interesting to learn about. He seemed to have a different soul when you hear people talk about him. Oh how I'd love to have a discussion with him about it. Mind, I don't think every connection like that leads to a romantic connection, but the fact that he at least put it out there...

I guess it’s like a favorite cafe type of a thing. You always keep coming back to it, even though they just opened a brand new Starbucks down the street 🙂

You keep being drawn to this vibe somehow.

I feel like it’s the most random place on the internet where you can talk about anything and everything with lots of different people, all over the globe. You never know who is coming or going anymore 😅

Being a Gemini, I enjoy thinking and talking and this is a great place for me to unload all that energy ✨

Its a place where I can be the most uninhibited version of myself with complete anonymity. I came for the astrology and stayed for the camaraderie. The astrology isnt what it used to be, but I still enjoy it. Perhaps I am here for a reason that will contribute to my personal growth.

It lacks proper moderation and has a members only vibe. Thats why its dying and not growing, people out grow what it offers and dont come back. If they purged all the old accounts, its less than 100 members here. We will eventually move on and this place will die.

Thank you 🙏 @BadderBunny

I hope it doesn't die.

Though Pluto tells us that all things die here.

I'd like to think that this site may one day be known to spawn many good people and become legendary for helping others in important ways. After it's no more.

I never liked Facebook.

There was always something about the site that was too constrictive and too serious especially around the Myspace days. I wish people didn't give Facebook so much power.

But yeah, Dxpnet has a mtv real world ....or reality TV vibe too.. the dtama. It was more crazy back then. PAngel and many more lol. I remember. I was more quiet though.

The main thing I love about dxp is that there's minimal moderator intervention.

These days, on most public forums, even the lamest disagreement results in moderators (usually heavily biased or/and part of cliques) coming down on users like a ton of bricks.




Thank you 🙏 @Saturn_Returns

There's definitely less consequences.

That forces you to have a bit of tough skin here.

I just wish he would give more interaction when the site is about to go into maintenance or shutdown.

I'll just be honest. I like dxpnet because it's a filter to my toxicity. Like I can come in here toxic as fuck, and dxpnet as a reasonably moderated platform let's me do so. Maybe it effects some people, but fuck them tbh. It lets me vent my fucked up thoughts and problems, pats my back, and let's me come back tomorrow.

Because of that I actually respect every single person I've interacted with here. Even those who fucked with me the most, I still have some respect for you. I've always considered dxpnet a balance of role play, and real life. Because of that I can honestly say I love you all, and if I truly offend you, or seem like I dislike you in any way, it's all in good fun. I'm truly happy we are all here, and have a platform we can vent, show thoughts and creativity, and still somewhat function as a community. I love dxpnet, and respect how it's let me, and many others just be ourselves for so many years.

The lack of moderation is what makes it function imo.

Also the old days of the Internet are gone, everyone (mostly younger) is on reddit nowadays.

That lame ass trolling that was popular about a decade or two ago is also mostly gone.

Which leaves the few of us weirdos.


thank you 🙏

I love that lol.

so many good layers here.

I miss the old days online. Describe what it was like in your experience.

Do you think dxpnet will fade in a way where no one will come here? a dead forum, less than 20 views per year?

A waste of time...

Especially if none of them lead to any physical death.

We make fun of people too because of these valid true and weak reasons. I can't stop reading this part it's so true.



Did you ever talk about your relationship even a little here? We let the brain rule us, that's why we judge. We don't follow our entire being anymore, just one organ that thinks it knows everything.

This is true.

Ive seen it this way as well!

I often times imagine creating a type of cafe thread but I don't come down to making it for some reason. Maybe because it's already understood by everyone that it's some kind of cafe and it would be somewhat redundant to make. It's also the most genuine cafe or online social website because the connections don't seem forced because of birth family bond. It's pure friendship and I love that about this place.

I love it so much.

I doubt anyone loves this site you can’t even post a girl getting pounded smh

Shit, what can you post on this site these days? You can't post nothing. That's why I said I'm here just to be here basically. I feel like I'm just getting in the way. That's why I don't post very often if I do slow my role.

Just post please no you're not getting in the way.

We need as much different energy here as possible.

It makes the threads interesting.

Secret Question:
Should Dxpnet be more famous than it is or should it remain in the realm of the niche? ☽**
It lacks proper moderation and has a members only vibe. Thats why its dying and not growing, people out grow what it offers and dont come back. If they purged all the old accounts, its less than 100 members here. We will eventually move on and this place will die.




Thank you 🙏 @BadderBunny

I hope it doesn't die.

Though Pluto tells us that all things die here.

I'd like to think that this site may one day be known to spawn many good people and become legendary for helping others in important ways. After it's no more.

I hear you. I think its my cynical mixture of placements that doesn't like attachments, and this place is like a magnet that keeps drawing me back. Sometimes it feels like a bad relationship, there are good times here, but also the inevitable bad times. The bad times make me want to leave and not come back. So in my mind I am like if dxp dies, then I can let it go. I wont check back out of curiosity or nostalgia. I want to be like those people who leave dxp and never look back But I guess I am more fixed than them, because I keep coming back.

That's okay. I honestly think Dxpnet is filing a lot of us right now. It is taking the space of something inside of many us that is not there. The ones who don't return, they've found something to fill that hole and it isn't Dxpnet anymore. It's kind of sad to think about for me though to end up not needing Dxpnet anymore.

The main thing I love about dxp is that there's minimal moderator intervention.
These days, on most public forums, even the lamest disagreement results in moderators (usually heavily biased or/and part of cliques) coming down on users like a ton of bricks.

Thank you 🙏 @Saturn_Returns
There's definitely less consequences.
That forces you to have a bit of tough skin here.
I just wish he would give more interaction when the site is about to go into maintenance or shutdown.

Ever since the rise of social media, most moderated forums work like this:

You post an opinion in a thread that may not be popular. No-one specific is targeted, the post is relatively civil but it's simply not well-received by the 'clique'.

Other users chime in and start being disrespectful. You ignore them. The moderators remain quiet.

The disrespectful replies continue but you continue to ignore them. Maybe you decide to later report the odd post. The moderators still remain quiet.

Then, at some point, you decide to stand your ground and show these users that you're no pushover. The odd rude user is given a good dressing down.

All of a sudden, the moderators swoop in. Posts suddenly disappear.

The moderators then play the 'you should have ignored the rudeness of those users and we would have dealt with them' card, when you know full well the moderators had plenty of time to defuse the situation prior.

Some of the moderators even resort to blaming you for starting the argument, when all you did was post an unpopular opinion. Rarely do any of the moderators explicitly admit that the root of the problem was the intolerant reactions of the other users.

It then becomes clear that the moderators are either part of the clique, or they're just a bunch of twisted fucks who get a kick out of allowing discussions to become unnecessarily toxic.

Prior to the 2010s, online communities were hardly ever like this.

This is interesting.

I'm one of the ones who usually ignore the B's lol. It's not intelligent to follow sometimes for me.

I definitely feel what you say about maybe the mods feel part of the clique. That's the reason why I often times don't feel safe here on the site. Almost as if they have sided with some of the people and don't have a non judgemental perspective like they should.

I've asked for help many times to unlock my account but just feel ignored.
