The current status of BOYAC "Everything Else"
« on: March 15, 2008, 04:19:08 am »
By the look of it the "Everything Else" section of this forum has basically turned into a Digg front page dumping ground.

What's the point?

Drum roll please!

Just cause there has been alot of good video's on digg lately doesn't make this a dumping ground the fact is there is less digg content on here  than general talking/questions we have in this section.

Maybe that's it.

The "Digg Effect" is really kind of scary when you think about it.  Seems like it's leading to everyone just always discussing the same thing.

I used to be regular reader and user of Digg. But I got so disgusted when nearly every front page news was some Blog Trolls idea of a Top/Bottom ## list. How many ---smurfing--- times can there be a top 20 list of the things a person hates about Digg? Crap, I recall there were a few Digg entries when some  :censored:tard decided to do the Top ## best Top ## Blog lists. How ---smurfing--- stupid is that?

Of course, I decided to check out Digg after avoiding it for so long....

 :censored: YOU!!!!   :angry: :angry: :angry:

I know what digg is, but I also don't care.  I never go to digg.com, if something is worth seeing, then it will be posted a place I do read.

Yeah . . . that's me.  I've been aware of Digg forever, but I never go there.  Actually, the same goes for Slashdot.

isn't digg one of those places like Fark, that link to other sites on the web and the users have this elitists mentality that you've seen it on "their" site first and that all other site linking sites copy off them...

That's pretty much dead on.

If you don't know what it is it is really quite easy to figure out.

Type www.digg.com in your little browser window and press enter.

That's another pisser about Digg and the primary reason I hate most blogs. It's a pain in the ass to drill down to the primary source of information when every blogging boob links to every other blogging boob and only after clicking through six or more different blogs do you ever get to the original source article.
