Dansdeals Facebook Group
« on: January 01, 2014, 10:47:52 AM »
Am I the only one subscribed to the Facebook group that finds it incredibly annoying. People ask such silly questions and one can only say post on the forums so many times.
I know I can unlike and therefore unsubscribe but there is the occasional post interesting.
Is there anyway we can fix it? Improve the group?

Pay enough quality members to spend more time there than here.

I for one have come to here only after being in the facebook group for a while

This forum is not very user friendly, you have to know forums style.

I still prefer the facebook group for now.

I find the structure hard to use, there is no one place to just ask your question in a sort of conversation similar to facebook.

In the current social media environment people want info right away without searching multiple threads.

Nowadays people are lazy, forums are somewhat outdated. they are still needed but many people prefer the facebook style one long conversation.

It is similar to the popularity of the famous drudge report.

Also alot of the info on the forums are outdated.

Yeah, you're right, why should I have to take a minute to find the answer to a question that's been asked 1000 times if I can just get somebody to answer it for the 1001st time...

Forums are outdated because people are lazy?

I agree that it's true. But sad nonetheless.

Anyone here have any requests for specific stuff on a DDF/DD app? I have a friend who can make one, what does it need to have? Dan, PM me if you are interested in working out some monetization idea or for anything else about an app.

I remember people posting about "when is an app coming out" but I am too lazy to search right now and I will not go to FB.  ;)

Can you elaborate? I know less about the golden mean than about apps but this guy made apps that most ppl here have, if they have a smart phone ...

I mean, could it be sold for a few bucks? What else?

the forum is very simple, how much more dumbed down can we make it?
and of course its easier with facebook, there is ZERo effort on ur part, u ask a question in one place and get answered. and the next guy has the same question and does the same thing.

I think that ddfb is very valuable, it keeps all the idiots from posting and trolling here.

DDFB has become crazy in the last few days. The trolls aren't just commenting but are creating new posts that are poor attempts at humor.
