Fuck DigitalPoint

Digitalpoint still can’t get it right. End of October one of my accounts is unbanned. I login and find that my account doesn’t have permissions to access anything or, of course, send a message to an administrator. No, digitalpoint isn’t interested in fixing anything, just furthering the business of its own corrupt administrators and selling you garbage.

If you’ve ever visited, did you wonder how these people sold thousands of dollars of content for just $25? Oh yes, and you can get a “resale license” for just a few dollars more as if you could steal someone else’s property and then sell it under various different licensing terms. Most of the content you might buy at DigitalPoint is blatantly copyright infringement. Even this sites claiming to be legitimate, telling you that you cannot resell their property, blah, blah, blah. This is what you have there.

Why am I still writing? Because I hoped to salvage a relationship with some people I knew there and also because I had invested time and effort once and now find an account completely gone. Digitalpoint will use my posts as more of a draw for search engines and they got the better of me. So it goes. We’ll see if anyone actually gives a damn enough to contact me at this blog.

Until then, you’ve got much better forums I’m at such as Sitepoint, dnforums (great place), warriorforums, and webhostingtalk (for what it is worth these days) and about a half dozen others. Only so much you can do.

If you share an IP address with others, be aware that DigitalPoint seems to be banning accounts based upon matches made by access. This may be happening automatically or via a random manual sweep done by moderators. Regardless of why, it is happening and apparently not triggered by posting. Read the rest of this entry »
