I am a university B.Comm student in Toronto Canada researching DS for an Intro. to Entrep. course, Doug is a Smart man. I do not understand why people seem to bash him, especially those who do not know him. The reasons behind comment boards are to leave a sentance or two about the article, not to swear and leave rude remarks. Even worse false statements on behalf of other people. I do not like the way the article was written, i feel that they put a spin on the article in a manner which had some serious bias. DS will thrive at HSWI because it will have much larger amounts of resouces to draw from. Stop Hating on DS I enjoy dailystrength.

The rest of you if you have nothing to offer then drop it! I wanted to respond to this. I most of the time do not. I look at it like this, do not get into a "puking contest with a buzzard"!

I just wasted a few minutes of my life reading this childish crap. My good lord guys get a life. What is wrong with you? " I got banned for no reason at all". Yeah, that happens everyday, no reason at all. With from what I just read here I can see why you would have been banned, and I'm not even a rocket scientist. Go figure. There is nothing wrong with that site, what is wrong is you guys. Go start your own and you can slam each other all you wish. The guy builds a site that is actually worth something and then sells it and he is a thief. Duh. In today's world I'd sell the damn thing to. Don't be a dumbass. As far as i am concerned the web would be a better place if this page got nuked. Talk about a waste of space. I just wasted a few minutes of my life reading this childish crap.

I have been getting banned left and right, I have messsaged DS managment, over and over, and have yet to here a response. I have a new profile that has been up for a dew days, so who knows if they have come to their senses or something. I suffer from Bipolar, and severe depression, and DS really is my own means of support, if there is going to be a 25$ membership fee, that I will be saying goodbye to DS for good, I can't afford that, I can barley afford to pay my meds. I hope this is not true. As for the people who are saying nasty ass shit about DS, you don't like it, stay the fuck away from it. It is a free site, you don't like it, don't be a member, simple, easy, done. I am a memeber of DS, well at least I am for now.

I was banned after over a year of membership for no apparent reason and was never given any kind of explanation. Luckily I'm reasonably well adjusted and have alternative means of support. However, if I hadn't had that extra support and been unjustly banned with no reason or warning, I may have taken it very badly like other members have. Doug does not seem to care about his responsibility to his members, nor does he care that banned members have been made more depressed by his websites actions. I would seriously reconsider this take over until Doug conducts himself in a more appropriate manner. I was a member of DS on the depression board as I suffer from severe depression.
