Great concept and forum. Just went and had a look and had to come back and say thanks for the post. Well worth a look and a good place to hangout.

Am also a member of DP forums. They’ve been around the block and got a huge user base, so it will be interesting to see if this might topple them. Time will surely tell. The prizes that are up for grabs are attractive for sure. Enough of a reason to enter the contest!
April 18, 2008 at 5:49 pm
all the best.
c ya there
April 18, 2008 at 5:47 pm
yeah i agree with your point chetan
April 18, 2008 at 5:45 pm
they should have announced a few more winners
April 18, 2008 at 5:43 pm
DP is crap these days, full of scammers
April 18, 2008 at 5:13 pm
no, each winner get the whole set of prizes
April 18, 2008 at 5:12 pm
they wil definitely beat DP one day or other.
April 18, 2008 at 5:07 pm
thats a cool contest to be tried.
April 16, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Same here. Earners was good for a while then died off. I went back a few times but I wasn’t very impressed. I hope it gets better after the merger.
April 15, 2008 at 7:16 am
Seems to be a pretty interesting concept since I have never seen such thing happening before for forums. Nice to see people thinking out of the box and not seeing everyone else as competitor.
April 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm
I’m going to win one of those prizes, mark my word and come back to this comment!
April 14, 2008 at 6:54 am
But some people just don’t agree with the changes and rules, and they leave the forums. You might see this in webmaster talk’s general chat section.
April 13, 2008 at 4:45 pm
I found both forums to be a bit mediocre, sitepoint is without a doubt the best IMO
April 13, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Not John Chow was here!
Sorry, didn’t have a good comment for the post.
Mergers can sometimes be a good thing bringing the others readers to make the forum stronger.
April 13, 2008 at 11:34 am
Which forum?
Earners or webmaster talk?
April 13, 2008 at 11:34 am
Contest just rocks!
The prizes are attractive
April 13, 2008 at 11:31 am
Both were just average forums.. Lets see how good they do with the merger.
April 12, 2008 at 4:59 am
You bet!
People love contests and it will definitely help them. I am sure!!
Like there were too many participators at that blog contest that happened a while ago?
April 12, 2008 at 4:58 am
Good luck with your forum Tim!
April 12, 2008 at 4:57 am
Didn’t they merge with some forum before also. Way back though?
April 12, 2008 at 4:57 am
Dp is anyway the best. DP rocks!
I am a member of Earners forum
April 11, 2008 at 8:39 pm
I wonder what the quality of posts will be. I know the rules state something about quality, but there will be some that try to bend them slightly.
I wonder if there will be any posts like…
“I’m be liking it mash potatoes”

nice reminder. the prizes need to move into the next-next level and then we are talking
April 11, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Wow, that’s a lot of prizes. I’m sure the merger will end up being a great thing for them as well.
April 11, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Had to get in on this one, just registered at webmaster talk.
April 11, 2008 at 1:42 pm
wow! thanks for sharing this!
im definitely going to enter
April 11, 2008 at 1:16 pm
not bad
April 11, 2008 at 11:43 am
The prizes are sweet! Good luck to those who are entering!
April 11, 2008 at 11:09 am
Wow, another con-test? Looks like it’s time for a reminder:

Although I have to admit that the prizes seem cool this time around.
April 11, 2008 at 10:18 am
Aaron wall donated more 300$ worth of prizes.
and its available internationally :Eek:
April 11, 2008 at 6:01 am
Personally i’d like to get #4. Just need strong and cheap links in my niche, but i can’t find even expensive. LOL
April 11, 2008 at 5:58 am
But I have already found there something i couldn’t find on DP!
P.S. It’s not a joke and not advertising
April 11, 2008 at 5:56 am
Actually i am wandering around DP but i’ll check this one as well.
April 11, 2008 at 5:28 am
Hi
We would be interested in purchasing advertising on your blog.
Please get back to me using the email address I have entered if you would be interested in discussing this further.
regards
kathy
April 11, 2008 at 4:40 am
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarification.
April 11, 2008 at 3:42 am
Wow, but then its hadr because theyre gonna pick only 5 winners but then those 5 will reciee all the prizes/…
April 11, 2008 at 3:42 am
hmm heading over to take a look at that. ta.
April 11, 2008 at 3:23 am
Forget about merger -Jump in to win some.
April 11, 2008 at 3:21 am
Thanks for the information, Am down for all Prizes.
April 11, 2008 at 2:13 am
Shoe, I waiting your contest
April 11, 2008 at 2:04 am
I like contest but the problem that scares me about all contest are the unwanted emails that will follow.
April 11, 2008 at 12:12 am
I bet people will be posting 24/7 to win that stuff.
April 10, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Different people do own the WT forum. I’m the original owner and still co-owner.
April 10, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Hey Shoe, are you not sponsoring this contest with your “lot of ipods” ?
Great merger and a good contest.
April 10, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Some great prizes I need to get working on them right away. First need to finish reading Shoemoney before I work on winning
April 10, 2008 at 9:48 pm
The problem with the contest is you have to be cranking it out 24/7 for any chance to win. Its pretty much just the top few point getters who’ll win. I’d prefer some sort of 1 point one ballet type of draw.
April 10, 2008 at 9:45 pm
ok so I get it. you know Lee Dodd from starting elite retreat together and at EL last week you discussed that you would promote him combining two of his websites into one…is that right?. the misleading part is the lack of disclosure and implying that they were owned by different people or companies. I need to start tracking the ratio of linkbait/spam posts to informative posts going forward
April 10, 2008 at 9:11 pm
that webmaster forum has a dash in the domain, that’s generally bad…they should buy the non-dashed counterpart.
April 10, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Sweet! Another contest with some great prizes! I’m sure there will be a lot of people to contend with so my odds of winning won’t be great but still worth it.
~Terry
April 10, 2008 at 8:07 pm
That’s what i call a f**king contest!! Great work guys
April 10, 2008 at 8:04 pm
should be interesting as if i remember – earners forum did a big push in the beginning with a contest and it did well. this one should be the same hopefully for them!
April 10, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Great prizes. Maybe I would register and start posting in there.
April 10, 2008 at 4:39 pm
First, thanks for the post ShoeMoney! Much appreciated.
And to Dan: Iif you “Don’t know about WT” then why do you post the “2 least used webmaster forums?” Webmaster-Talk.com is actually a very active and thriving forum. We are certainly not at the DigitalPoint level ,but there are hardly any forums that can compare to that kind of activity.
April 10, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Yes Every Winner gets 1 of each prize!
April 10, 2008 at 4:04 pm
In the past few months there have been so many contests.
April 10, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Hey Shoe, come to think of it, what happened to all those MacBook Air’s and iPods you had?
April 10, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I love contests and would love to win one of those MacBook Airs, so I’m going to enter this one for sure.
April 10, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I agree
April 10, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Shoe, why are you promoting this POS? Everyone knows these two forums are useless.
April 10, 2008 at 3:23 pm
You make it sound like different people own the forums. Lee Dodd owns both of them – as you can see by going to http://www.escalatemedia.com he owns webmaster-talk, and everyone knows he owns Earners Forum.
April 10, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Sorta figures that the 2 least used webmaster forums would merge, hoping to become less dead. Only like 100 people a day use EF. Dont know about WT
April 10, 2008 at 2:24 pm
that was a fast merger. all links point to webmater-talk
April 10, 2008 at 2:10 pm
It is good to see this merger… They are both usefull, and I think now that they are going to be 1, I may spend a little more time over there!
April 10, 2008 at 1:25 pm
that contest it will just push the spam post to the limit… i think i’ll pass
April 10, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Great prizes and two good sites merging.
April 10, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Yeah very nice contest. And they are awarding 5 people all of that?
April 10, 2008 at 1:20 pm
That’s a sweet contest. Checking it out.
April 10, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Great forums! Being new to this biz, I’m always glad to hear about a new contest and great informative websites. Thanks!
April 10, 2008 at 12:59 pm
That would be a good merger. I was on earners forum when they launched. Got old though. DP for life!
