Time to move on!!!

desiibond · 25-12-2009, 12:59 AM

Hi Fellow TDF members,

As this forum is going from bad to worse and none of the admins care to listen to us, I have decided to move on to TechEnclave. Recently, ads like the rollover BenQ and the slowness of forum is very frustrating. I will still be doing very minimal amount of posts here but will not be initiating any new posts. you can find me online at:

twitter: www.twitter.com/desiibond
Techenclave: desiibond
gmail: desiibond@gmail.com and amarendra.bandla@gmail.com

I have found many new friends and gained knowledge in all these years and I am thankful to Digit for that. I really do wish that this forum will get better.

Take care guys.

All the best.

I'm myself wondering that why the fu(k, I'm still at this forum. Seriously, it's the time to move on.

The forum is on decline since April 2008 when that ugly red lipstick theme was introduced. Since then, the forum is dying a slow death. Hopes were revived when we the screenshots of the much hyped, "ThinkDigit v3" were shown to us. Forum screenshots were not shown to us and we were expecting it to be very good, but when the switch was made, forum's theme was made more crappier.

I do believe that the Admins/Team Digit can solve the problems, but it has been too late. All the members who used to post have moved on. People don't even have the motivation to post and solve the queries of the people. Earlier there was a very healthy environment, now the forum feels like an empty space.

One more thing, seeing the ugliness of the forum, I doubt that anyone will bother to register. TechEnclave is a perfect example of a well managed forum with a beautiful theme and also with the right integration of advertisements.

We all know that ranting is NOT a solution, but what else can we do?

Forum looks 10x better this way:

oh btw,

In April, we'll be celebrating 2nd ceremony of 'kaput AJAX'.

tbh, the Open Source section died the day praka123 was banned. And then, victor_rambo/Rohan Shenoy was also banned.

Well.......I joined TE too....!! But never going to leave Digit. As it is my first source of steping in to Tech World.

I dont think leaving the forum wud help. Why not help our old DIGIT to make it young again....!!

rhitwick · 25-12-2009, 02:21 AM

@desiibond, dude please at least visit to see u've got any PMs...

And, one thing for sure, if knowledge and experience like u goes away from here, don't know what will happen to newbies??

we don't have many experts in h/w and s/w sections....u know...

well, best of luck...

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 25-12-2009, 02:27 AM

^ He's rite.

**ico** · 25-12-2009, 04:55 AM

btw, Forum loads very fast for me. I'm happy with the loading time.

dreams · 25-12-2009, 10:11 AM

Well decision made desiibond..only diff is, u took some of ur time to mention that u r leavin, but many others hv just vanished. From a tech forum, this forum is more active in this section.

Once in a while, do visit. God knows what could happen to TDF in the coming months.

TheHumanBot · 25-12-2009, 11:40 AM

Wake up call for Admins

quan chi · 25-12-2009, 12:12 PM

NVIDIAGeek · 25-12-2009, 12:28 PM

You got a point there. I still like this forum.

Anyway guys start giving us your TE ids so that we can get friendly there
mine is :- Jojothedragon

ratedrsuperstar · 25-12-2009, 01:15 PM

this sucks

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 25-12-2009, 01:46 PM

Ya......TE is really fast, the Quick reply feature works perfectly fine, the ads are not placed strategically.

Well......I agree too with NVIDIAGeek and jojothedragon. I'm not going to leave TDF. It was my first step in Tech World and both TDF and Digit Mag itself has helped a lot in developing my knowledge in field of IT, Technology, Gadets.

I think admins should start caring about our old TDF and do the necessary modifications.

NVIDIAGeek · 25-12-2009, 02:35 PM

^I came here a year ago & I've become a gamin' psychopath!

**ico** · 25-12-2009, 02:38 PM

We are all here just because of the 'emotional factor', otherwise I don't see any reason.

Aspire · 25-12-2009, 02:49 PM

Time to move off.........

Ain't that the truth.

NVIDIAGeek · 25-12-2009, 07:16 PM

DIGIT should make some changes to the forum. They're makin' it more heavy. PSN Forum's so pleasant, to the eyes as well as the bandwidth.

freshseasons · 25-12-2009, 08:19 PM

I am okay with Digit ! Except for the few advertisements! hmm not few phewwww many.
Its so difficult managing to find the post reply button amongst these advertisements.

dreamcatcher · 25-12-2009, 08:57 PM

I am here only for the Football thread and the seldom standoffs at the mobile section.

quan chi · 25-12-2009, 09:14 PM

bloody hell how i dont know!! half of the digitians are on techenclave. allright meet me there too.

**vamsi_krishna** · 25-12-2009, 09:25 PM

Let's get the things straight, I am noob in computers. My contribution to the forum was nil to be precise. I love this forum so much that I have accidentally typed the forum's URL instead of the site's URL for uncountable times. I visit this forum 20-30 times a day. All these are because of the level of affection i am having to this forum. this forum is what made me a midicore noob from an absolute noob. The server downs are really notable to me. And glitches in quick reply. And it has been many days since i saw a TDF admin opening a thread about saying something or sharing a view about something. I think they have gave up on this forum.

To TDF officials:I don't care what is the theme you use, your server downs, glitches, Terrible ads placing, bugs, absence admins and mods, no encouragement, no nothing. I am not going to leave thinkdigit.com/forum until digit closes it's forum. Even then it will be on my fist opera speed dial(you can call me TDF nerd).

Please digit, give a fu(k about us. We are not here to make the money.Many of the honorable members visit the forum just to solve the problems of many other people by which they will not get even a single pie. And this is how you respect them?

good going TDF... keep loosing all of your valuable members.

**krishnandu.sarkar** · 25-12-2009, 09:38 PM

^^^^^^I completely agree with u. The case is same with me.

TDF admins should start thinking about the Forum. I was shocked to see the TE Forum so fast. I can browse, reply, open new threads in just some sec's with my torrent running. I never saw TDF to even refresh a page when I'm running utorrent. I need to pause the torrent each time. And I dunno how many times I've clicked that BenQ ad while clicking "New Posts" after they placed that roll over ad there.

The mods there are so active, and the ads are really strategically placed, the quick reply feature works perfectly fine.

Dunno when the mods or admins wud see this thread and take action.

I love Digit mag and TDF, I'm never going to leave them but sorry to say it's becoming like govt of India, no one listens, no one doesn't take any action.

Coool · 25-12-2009, 09:57 PM

Earlier i used to visit every hour.. Now once in 3-4days..

dreams · 25-12-2009, 10:33 PM

As most said, I learnt abt technology and computers from the digit mag. next is this forum. Out of 15 tabs always open on my FF, this is the only tech forum. I dont think I wil leave here, as all said, emotional factor doesnt allow me.
I dont bother abt the glitches or the ads(ad muncher takes care).
Please admins and mods, have a look at tis wonderful forum. Bring joy in all the members face atleast on 2010. Hoping some miracle to happen.

infra_red_dude · 26-12-2009, 04:31 AM

People come, people leave. Life moves on. I've been on TDF for more than 7 years now, I guess (maybe even more, I don't remember when I registered with my old id); and I have seen a lot of people come and go. Nothing changes.

I'd have to agree on that with you.
