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.

BlackHatWorld – Black Hat SEO / search engine optimization

DNForum - Domain Name Forum

WickedFire - Affiliate marketing and general online marketing forum

Sitepoint – PHP/ASP development and graphics forum, an oldie but goodie and one of the most popular sites on the Internet for free resources

We are happy to post other sites that you may have found that will help you transition from digitalpoint.

The joke here is that if DigitalPoint wasn’t so happy on the trigger finger banning everyone the moment they believe an unholy infraction occurs, they’d probably not have nearly the level of fake accounts created as they are experiencing. From experience I can tell you that there is no practical way to contact anyone at DP without creating a second account and pinging a thread or someone using email. There is no contact form that I have found which is of any use or that moderators will take seriously.

The DigitalPoint ship continues to sink into depths of mediocrity. Don’t say you weren’t forewarned if you stupidly invest time there thinking you can’t find it elsewhere, only to find your account has problems that will not be fixed!

We’ll provide numerous other alternatives such as the Warrior Marketing Forum (no affiliation) and others which are more useful and contain more bona-fide members and moderators.

THE STORY: What happened? I had an account with many posts, having been a long time member. One day I had a disagreement with another member whom I discovered regularly posts illegal services for sale. It was clear that DigitalPoint’s staff didn’t care to do anything about it. After the issue of the entire membership list at DigitalPoint supposedly being stolen and posted on the Internet, safety at DigitalPoint became a concern for me. I decided to clear my personally identifiable information both outside and on the inside.

When I tried to change my email address, I accidentally typed in the new address incorrectly. I realized this only after confirming it at my old address. Unfortunately I needed someone at digitalpoint to make a simple edit. Ever try to get help from a moderator or anyone there?

I made about 30 attemtps sending to report the problem but it was completely ignored. I could login but I couldn’t private message anyone to alert them as to the problem. I created a second account to do so. The message I posted was left unread and the account was banned as a duplicate account. So I created another identity and used that one. After not being able to post in the classifieds areas, I asked about why the account was limited. That resulted in a moderator looking up this account and banning it too!

So a friend contacted them and gave them my account name, which wasn’t banned at the time. The "official reply" I received- I knew why I was banned and it couldn’t be disclosed but it was for "good reason." After that I found my account was banned instead of just not being functional. The friend had his account banned a few weeks later for being a duplicate account (how they came to this conclusion, I don’t know.)

There you go. It’s another typical story. But for $20, I can direct traffic away from Digitalpoint, the arrogant moderators and the deep corruption that exists. Silly, yes but at least it bought satisfaction for less than the price of a movie for two.
