Please read all folks..........

I hope there is NO torrent of abuse with this post.
I do mean all good with this thread!!

Before I go any further I will say that ALL admin/mods/VIP and many many people make this site it is.
I "do" sign into this site daily. Because it is a place of knowledge and support.
But as time goes on I do find it harder to sign in daily as posts are being less and less important to what many would call the digital world.
This site does more than cover tech issues. It's a forum that covers many good topics/interests and so on.
For the short time I have been here I have done nothing more than input/upload files and give support as many old and new hands do.

But now it seems to be post clockers as that always has, and always will happen.
But the GREAT site this is with GREAT knowledge I really do think new avenues need tested.

What???

I don't know........

seeing 1000/1300 people on this site at peak U.K. times needs to be tackled.

As I say folks personally I think new avenues and different direction should be food for thought.

I know what you mean @river4ever. It's harder for those of us who have been here a long time though, when DW was far more a tech forum than it is now.
It isn't a failure of the forum though, it's just the way things trend.
When I joined, the cable tv and modem hack was a forever changing cat and mouse game. Wasn't just a software hack, you had to be hands on and get the hot air gun out. You needed a few different pieces of equipment also, a looper, card programmer, chip programmer and in my case a jtag also. I still have these, lol.
This is what attracted me to DW. The service providers kept making the hack harder which raised the element of fun in the hobby. Most of us seen problems as a challenge rather than the end of the world, "My cline has stopped working, boo hoo"
I can't say that I really noticed post clockers so much in those days, probably cos there was so much other stuff going on.

Agree with @chookey

Card sharing has all but ruined the technical side of the Sat and Cable hobby. Folk with next to no technical ability can be up and running in half a day.

When they have done that they disappear.

The hacking side of Games consoles have also taking a hit.

Take a look on other forums it really is what it is at the moment quiet.

IPTV should of been a great new venture but the ease of use and availability of pre loaded kodi boxes has killed that too. People want a quick fix nothing like the days gone by.

All of this is not really a problem of the forum but the scene in general.

The above posts say it all really

But if DW didn't cater for the more general side of things as well as tech then the forum would be so quiet

If things like that don't interest you the option is not to read them ?

I find that with DW being so versatile in covering all different subjects is a plus for the forum :)

As for clockers it's something we have always had to deal with and that wont change lol think of us Admin and Mods that have to deal with it ;)

Have to say that having an OpenElec PC with A DVB-S card and configuring TVHeadEnd was far more fun than just turning on a box and it all working

Do you need a dress and a wig you fcking drama queen?
You post a thread that you're bored with DW then what did you expect?

So with your little crude comments, should I take it that people aren't allowed to have a different opinion to yours?

You always seem to have a different opinion.
Thats all you ever post. LOL.

Goodnight.
 
Can't say I agree with everyone I joined up 3 years ago with limited knowledge of technology and I would like to think I have come on a fair bit it those 3 years and that's down to picking the brains of lads that have way more knowledge that I have ,I have managed to get a laptop going again that i taught was knackered I've also fixed the wife's phone several times by reading the forums but mostly I enjoy the banter mainly in the sports forums, as for the tech heads who miss the hands on days thats life things are constantly changing and evolving 50 years ago you where lucky to have one TV in a house now there's one in every room and it's 4k now not b/w life moves on.

You will lose a lot of members reverting back to a techie forum it's not everyone's cup of tea. This forum is popular for the simple reason you can discuss any topic within reason on here. Yes you will get slated now and again and called a no it all but who gives a shite???. If it's useful information then you can count me in. Time to grow some balls river! this is the future of DigitalWorldz get used to it .
 
@river4ever @Fangface Nothing wrong with a bit of "healthy" Discussion on how the forum progresses after all it is your forum.
Any suggestions of what people want or don't want is always welcome for discussion.

This forum covers a large range of interesting topics.There are some great threads on here from @ gez's daily work travels to the very sad young lady that was in the near fatal accident while in a holiday bar. It is for that reason that this is the best forum ever it caters for everyone. If you like techie more then stay in the techie section if you can't be arsed in interacting with real life daily social events. I thank you.
