Veoh on a Blocking Rampage

7 Jun

Okay what the fuck is going on? Stage6, the best high quality video sharing closed its doors and now the next best Veoh is blocking pretty much the whole world. I’m not even joking. People from over 165 countries have reported that they’ve been blocked.

Veoh is currently the only video sharing site with good quality and fast streaming. It improved a lot after Stage6 closed down. Well I’ll stop talking about how much they improved.

Now why the fuck did they block all these countries? They’re like turning away millions of potential users. People at the Veoh forums and the staff are saying that Veoh is trying to “maintain markets”. Huh, wtf? Doesn’t make sense.

Well right now people are just going crazy. And a lot of people are offended. They’re saying its all discrimination and everything. Well its called the World Wide Web. Why are they blocking then?

Right now I don’t have a lot of info. I’ll be going through their forums and I’ll try to talk with an official. Oh and here’s the list of the blocked countries. I wouldn’t be surprised if this list grew bigger.

Stay Away From DP Forums

26 May

I have to say that DP (Digital Point) forums are pretty active and almost all the webmaster know about that forum. I’ve been using that forum for sometime now and I have a few things to tell you guys about it.

Well first of all, someone should nominate that site for the ugliest site of the century. Like c`mon its 2008. Time to get a new skin. I’m not being a hater. I’m just being honest and I’m sure that a lot of people will agree with me.

Okay here’s why I don’t like DP. Its basically because there’s newbies coming in and asking the same question that has been asked a few days ago and this just goes on and on. Everyone is like a “pro” or at least that’s their attitude.

I will agree that there are also a few nice people. But most of them aren’t really nice. They don’t really share anything new. Basically the same thing over and over again. Now it might be good if you are a complete beginner since you’ll learn the basics and a few advanced things. And after that there’s no learning. You’ll just be replying to newbies’ questions and stuff.

But, I’ll also have to say that it is a good place for selling your product or service. But the thing is its a really active forum and your thread gets buried within 30mins-2hours. Now that sucks. And forget about advertising. You wish man. Try doing that and you’ll get a few people hating on you.

Oh and the forum structure is just superb. Nice way to confuse people. I gotta say that I was f**king confused when I first joined that forum and I made a thread in the wrong category (and I got an infraction).

This is just me telling you guys my opinion. Just so you guys don’t waste your time.

OMFG! Why a Warez Forum?

26 Apr

OMFG people! Why is everyone making a warez forum? I just don’t get it. Why? Do you not get it that warez forums are lame. There is too much competition. There’s bigger fishes (with lawyers) than you.

I’ll keep it simple. They suck because its just zombies copy/pasting links and information all day. That’s just it. There is no real discussions there. Well if you consider people reporting dead links and saying thanks a discussion then that’s different.

Plus its 2008 people. There are millions of tiny and big warez forums. You’re not the first or even the second one to make it. Too much competition.

And its not nice to give away things that people spent money and time making. I don’t know why but all the new forums have a warez section or its completely about warez. Weird. I don’t think people think about choosing a better niche.

If you know anyone or if you, yourself is planning to make a warez forum then do the rest of the world a favour and don’t make one! Please think of something better.

Warez isn’t cool. Its lame!
