I have just about had it with DST

That kind of thing could only be accomplished by Lizzy and her world domination plans. :p

mwahahahaha.
 
I'm with the other girls, I just fit in over here better than at DST.
Plus I like that as a smaller group, we seem much more compassionate and understanding. You won't see a huge dramaific thread here, everyone stays nice (or at least civil) while still expressing their opinions. Plus I don't have traffic problems here like I do with DST. I can only deal with timing out and sloooooooooooow boards for so long, lol.
 
I post layouts here, MSA, SBB, and DST when I can get in. I love that SBB doesn't have a daily upload limit so I can upload more than 5 when I get behind. Since most of my stuff is hybrid I get the pics off my camera all at once (KWIM?) I also started out at SBB so it is a complete gallery.

I don't post at DST because I feel lost there. Too many fish in that sea for me ;)
 
DST has been reaaaaaaaaaaaaally slooooow lately and it's making me crazy! That is my complete gallery but I don't spend much time over there. I also feel very lost and haven't made a single friend there... it's just too big! Plus, I posted an honest review once of a photobook and kinda got eaten alive by some ladies... so I just prefer not to post threads there unless it's an ISO thread.

Let's not forget the language barrier. Most of the members barely speak english. And I have, like, zero comments on anything. I will spend half an hour posting comments and never get a single in return. I tried to delete all my layouts once and it wouldn't let me. I would abandon my gallery, but my pictures are still up there. This is the only place on the web where I have any friends. That is why the next week will be so hard for me. I will actually have to do my sociology clipping report. :(

P.S. Is my avi too dirty looking? sometimes I will say "I love this so much" or "this is fun" in response to a layout, then when it posts... it looks a little dirty.

You know...I noticed the slowness of the DST site over the weekend specifically, but I assumed it was because of DSD and secondly because of a bad internet connection on MY end. Now I'm wondering... :confused:

I'll be your friend, Heather! :)

And I think your avi is fabulous! lol :thumbup:
 
How are the prints there, jennilyn? I was going to try them out for 8x8 prints...only $1.90 and shipping is actually pretty cheap! My mom is going to try them for their 9 cent prints, though. We have an account that we share as a family, so we can keep up with each other's kids (LOTS of photos, lol) and to share vacation photos instead of sending out a billion CD's, lol.

Their quality is great! Shipping doesn't take too long either. You'd have to pay for an 8x10 in order to get an 8x8 since they don't do scrapbook sizes yet. I wrote to them once about it and they said they'd mention it. It's great for storage because you can download from their FTP if you ever lose all your photos and you can share your photos so your family can get the full sized photos/layouts if they'd like to print them out themselves.
 
Well, no matter your reasons for leaving DST, know that you all are missed :wub: I never felt "in" at 2Peas, and that's why I left, but I do feel "in" at DST, maybe because I've been there since day 1 (?).

I'm always a little surprised by all the negativity around DST but I think it's likely for this same reason. I've been at DST since day 1 and it was my first real digi home so it holds a special place in my heart. I think it serves the purpose it was always meant to serve - to be the hub where everyone could come together and find whatever information they needed. I will gladly take DST with all it's slowness and problems over the days of 2peas and speaking in code. :D

Now if they would just change the rules of the praise thread to discourage the praise hogs I'd be happy...:p :D

I've recently starting being more active here because this is where my girl Melissa is (and a whole lot more of my wannabe CTs), so I hope you can accept me here :)


LOL Trina I almost didn't "recognize" you without your usual avie :) I'm SO very glad to see you here. SSD is so cozy and friendly, I'm hardly EVER at DST anymore. I just like the family atmosphere here and you don't feel overlooked, ykwim? So jump in and get your tootsies wet and hang with us!!!
 
Me too Lizzy! I rarely go to DST. Honestly, I avoid it at all costs LOL I just post pages there for CT requirements. It's just not my favorite place to be, I like the atmosphere here better.
Lizzy Fizzy Fizzster- digitalscrapbookplace.com has an open gallery. You can post anything but you can't link to other stores or designers.

What about other galleries? Like if I lift somone and I link to the page I lifted, can I link to that?

I think so. It's just advertising of other stores they don't like. I started out at DSP but haven't been active there in probably a year.

Okay, but we will be scrappers without a gallery for a week. We could take over the world at some other site.

Yup, I'm here, sweets!! With my Shemar avatar...I could look at this man ALL.DAY.LONG.EVERYDAY :wub:

Yep, they do scrapbook sizes...there's 8x8 ($1.90) and 12x12 and a huge variety of other sizes. :) It's the only reason I was going to try them.

ETA the link. Looks like it's cheaper to order 8x10, but I don't mind spending the extra $.40 to not have to trim off the bottoms, lol.

They didn't have those the last time I ordered! Not that it matters, since I print 6x6 :) They'll be great quality though I'm sure! I use ScrapbookPictures for my layouts. Hey, they do mugs and t-shirts too! Cool!

I was thinking of testing them out too, lol. They had a sale on a couple weekends ago and I thought about it, but never did, because I didn't think I had enough layouts I wanted to print. Then I managed to find about 100+ layouts while trying to find 30 to print from Green Pixel Printing. I may still try them out, to compare...
 
And here I was convinced you'd pop up with a Jason Taylor avi.

Um, you do realize I have a Jason Taylor avatar at DST, don't you? :p

My 3 hotties are Jason Taylor, Derek Jeter, and Shemar Moore...and they look SUSPICIOUSLY alike :wub: There is something about these bald men that just gets me :p
 
I am so not in the loop - whats a praise hog?

The praise game is there to help you get praise on your LOs... you post your LO once and people who post after you will give you praise.... but the praise hogs will post multiple times in the same thread and sometimes post every day for several days... whenever I reach a LO in the praise game that has like 20 comments, I skip it (unless the poster is directly above me so I'm abiding by the rules).
 
once my layout made it to the gallery standouts thread and i had 9 or 10 generic 'great lo' and 'nice work' comments. what's the point of commenting if your not sincere? completely outside of the praise thread rant at DST, really what is the point in general of being generic?

keep it real people.

note: i understand that it's not DST's fault that people are generic. :)

Oh, when I play the PG I try to point out specific things I love about the LO so they know I actually LOOKED at the page. I hate drive-by comments. Once I got stuck in the game behind someone who was just posting the same EXACT comment on every page over and over. Made me angry. lol :cursing:

And you are the best at this Lizzy! You are not a fake at all! You're so real & honest when you praise LOs.:wub:
I just need to get better at praising LOs period!
