Thread: I'm trying to be positive... but it's frustrating

<p>I cant front. This new website has me all fucked up. It's not even new at this point but&nbsp;I feel like it's completely counterintuitive and a far cry from what we were all used to. I'm checking the forum and I see that the posts are WAY down. Even trying to create this post seemed kinda weird.</p>
<p>I dont want to just complain and offer nothing constructive cause I love this place and everything it stands for.&nbsp;I'm not even the type to be negative, but I've been on the site HARD for years now so I got&nbsp;room to complain! (Newcomers,&nbsp;check my post count if you dont know about me.) I used to check the forum before I checked my email at work in the morning! Now, I cant even get into the forum (mentally) and I can tell that others must feel this way too based on the lack of involvement. Shit, I spoke to Drewski the other day, he was saying that he doesnt even try to access it anymore cause it's too jumbled. Doesnt even know his password! Sean Sauna said pretty much the same.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Is this it? Should I just shut the fuck up and learn to deal with it? Or, are we still under some construction of sorts?</span></strong></p>
<p>I can do that if that's what it is. I guess I've just been waiting to come back and things make sense to me again so I could get back to my normal level of participation.</p>
<p>Maybe Im just kinda bitchy. I miss being able to keep up on everything and everyone by just visiting the forum. I'm afraid that the interaction between everyone here will die down because the site is - to be frank - it's a hassle. Once the interaction dies, the lifeblood of DP is at stake. Hell, if Boston George decided not to renew, that says a lot to me.</p>
<p>Understanding that this post could come across as dripping with bitchassery, I still posted it. I bet alot of people feel like me, but just wont say it for whatever reason. I dont know.... it's just really frustrating to me. I feel like I've lost a big part of my life. Maybe I'm crying for nothing. Maybe it's me that needs to adapt and change - not the site.</p>
<p>Either way, I still fuck with DP hardbody and I'll always support and be involved. I'll still see you all in NYC as usual. Holla at me. I'll have Crown Royal &amp; Chronic. AS USUAL!</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with that 100%.&nbsp; Before the switch I checked the DP forum like 3 or 4 times a day, but now I check the forum about once or twice a week.&nbsp; This wasn't a conscious decision because I do prefer the new design, but i would give that up in a second for the old functionality.</p>
<p>I think I was under that assumption that with the LA conference coming up that the forum got put on the backburner a bit.&nbsp; I'm hoping that after the conference some of the unresolved issues will be worked out.&nbsp; Like Leck said tho.......i'm ridin with DP regardless, but i do seriously hope the forum becomes active again like it was before the switch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Being around for two years now ,i was trying not to scare away the newbies. But while we on this........Where are all the old posts. Those posts are like fcking sacred scrolls. Knowledge in abundance. If they are gone forever it won't be the same. And the Web Person who did the job should be shaken about until he/she looses consciousness, (Just Joking......I'm non violent). But I'm disappointed. LOL ..as i got to the end here , I went for my trusty old&nbsp;spell check tool. Not happening. Dang. I'm still whicha though DP Fam. We gon just keep it pushin.</p>

<p>I was only part of DP for a few months before the new site came up, but i deffinetly felt the change of interaction between members on the forums (mostly the old members) like jaay peso doesent give me advice anymore as much as he used to, and Leck isnt down with that Official Sample thread that i joined RIGHT before the change.. its like the new features are what we all were wishing for like how we can upload songs on our page, a store on the site, etc. but the old simple forums we (even me) were so used to were snatched away from us in exchange with this... and frankly, i liked DP before a lot better.. i miss those 2-3 months of talking with the OG's of DP telling them "im new, show me the path" now its like every man for himself just waiting for industry opps and events.. and the OG's got sick of it and rarley sign on, which makes the newbies lost. those experienced members and producers in general, arent around as much to let us know how it is, and warn us for the obstacles we may face in the future in this game, so i read 3 point of views all from old original members, now im adding to that to show that it affected me as well. i knew i should have been with DP sooner since the first day i joined, and i just hope these problems are fixed ASAP, so we can go back to being more than just a forum, we can be a FAMILY again.. i cant stress that enough, how important that is, for us to all love and help eachother, instead of just saying "o whats good, DP, how ya'll been" once a month. and G-WHIZZ.... i couldnt put what you said about the old forums in better words.. SACRED SCROLLS.. its all gone now.. (thats how it seems to me) i hope its not, though. i hope we can use these same new features, and still be the same old fam we were before.. i'll never leave you, DP.. just dont let us down, we need you.</p>

<p>Yea I feel ya on that. It's a shame I wasn't here before the new&nbsp;forum&nbsp;came about. Sometimes I feel like the only time I speak to anyone on here it's either to Beatfellaz, Drape or myself&nbsp;LOL</p>
<p>It was hella confusing for me when I first signed up. I'm a frequent forum navigator as well, so I know my way around a few things. I wish it would be as busy as&nbsp;Cialis in here (...pause) but it's tumbleweed in duderanch right now (...double pause).</p>
<p>All I want is to get me the similey faces and access to the old threads that I can't see. I'm tired of typing out "LOL/LMAO."</p>

<p><strong>i talked to jaay peso, he said he's been discussing the whole situation with fbi and mayday.. and you see how you've been on forums and even YOU had problems with the new site!! DP was my first and only forum, cause most of the others are all BS.. and the old threads were fuckin sacred scrolls just like my man G-WHIZZ said, anyone, I MEAN ANYONE a rookie or a veteran could find a lot of that info VERY USEFULL and for the old members they were like good memories..its like the new site was supposed to be an upgrade for DP, but it turned out to be REBORN instead of GROWING and EXPANDING..I HOPE YOUR READING THIS, FBI and i know you care about this problem more than any of us, i just hope you guys fix it before all the new members get sick of it and quit, or even worse, start talking and giving DP a bad name (KNOCK ON WOOD) you got my love, trust, and loyalty, DP, and i'll never dip on ya'll, but the same cant be said for the "not as deticated" or newbies already complaining and talking about "This site is like a big scam/advertisement" something similar was said somewhere in the forums i read it yesterday.</strong></p>

<p>yeah, for the past few weeks i've been kind of moving on the assumption that the forum has been put on the backburner until after the conference insanity dies down.&nbsp; A lot of the initial forum issues have been fixed by the developer, but not all.&nbsp; Not sure what the status of all that is, since i haven't spoken with FBI about this in a few weeks.&nbsp; I don't think forum functionality issues make DP a scam by any stretch of the imagination, but its something that hopefully will be addressed in the future.&nbsp; Either way, i'll try to do my small part to return the forums back to where they were by checking and posting more.&nbsp; Shouts to all the new members who just joined and all the vets that have been holdin DP down for years.</p>

<p>jaay, i completely agree with you 100% that those issues dont make DP a scam, but that's not what the new kids been saying. you know more than me that first impressions matter A LOT.. and for someone to bitch&nbsp;and REGRET joining DP on their FIRST DAY, that's a BIG problem in my eyes.. and i know FBI and the others aint goin, FUCK THEM HATERS. its a loss for ALL OF US if we dont appeal to the new members. and so far, we're not. most of them most likely wont be attending the conference, a few may not even know about it. they could have heard something like "DP's the shit, here's the proof" and joined right away hoping to be happy, and are now banging their heads on the wall saying i "WASTED" my money. everyone's so calm because they're getting all this love and support from deticated members, but you cant excpect a new member to say or feel the same.. and they're not.</p>

<p>Yeah, i see what your saying.&nbsp; We'll see how things go moving forward.&nbsp; Its good that people are voicing their opinions tho.&nbsp; That's a much better way to go about things then to just say fuck it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>cosigned 100% on that, it would just be a lot better for those new members to say "i love this shit already" like i was when i first joined, or you&nbsp;most likely said&nbsp;as well.</p>

<p>agreed.</p>

<p>Yeah, I've been kinda thinking about this over the last few days. I'll do my part to try to get things back to normal as well. I'd still do the testimonial like Jaay Peso did on Youtube, because DP has by far been the best thing for me musicwise. How else would I get to G-Unit, Sony, or get connected with any of the people I have been able to?</p>
<p>So, I'm just gonna do my best to participate more instead of complain and hopefully everyone else will too. It's tough though - I miss the old forum. (But shit, I still use FL5! That tells you how much I DONT embrace change.)</p>

<p>LOL, Leck, u have the right to complain....i haven't been around long enough to be negative yet.&nbsp; That's a right you gotta earn (at least 1,000 posts are required to give negative DP feedback).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And damn, I didn't know you was still using version FL 5....no upgrades?&nbsp; guess its an "if it aint broke....." situation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drape and Mr. Kraft Singles been KILLIN the forum for the past few weeks tho in our absence tho so shouts to those dudes for holdin it down.</p>

<p>hold ya head folks......forum might be about to get a major overhaul soon in the name of functionality.&nbsp;</p>

<p>good looks on the recognition, jaay... yea we're tryinna be the next jaay peso and leck on these new forums, best believe we'll hold it down as long as it takes, and if you noticed, i've been also trying to help these newcomers feel at home on dp, especially the unhappy ones, encouraging them (i think i spelled that wrong) and just letting them know it'll all be fine, and DP needs them to grow.. because they ARE the future just like me and cheese (Mr. Kraft Singles) .. shout outs to beatfellaz and curtdog as well, though i cant leave them out on this and if anyone else feels left out because i aint mention your name its only cause you havent been "active" enough on the forums BUT NOTICE THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION,its also possible i havent seen your threads, or logged on at the wrong times, so no hard feelings. im just mentioning the cats i've personally been interacting with lately and who i feel are the most active on DP at the moment. the funny thing about it is.... NONE OF US ARE MENTIONED ON THAT "MOST ACTIVE USERS" LIST BELOW... i guess it's just another "glitch" on the new site lolz. its all good though, we know what it is, and its not a competition to be shouted out all over the site, our goal is for us rookies to keep DP running healthy while the VETERANS and OGs of this Family straighten things out for the future (although i cant call beatfellaz a rookie at all, big props holdin shit down with us).. and i wanted to let all the OGs know, speaking from all of our names, that we love Dynamic Producer and will do whatever it takes to keep it up and running, and havig new members happy and ready to give their testimonials.. by the way i'll give one myself as well, just dont have a camera so i'll do that in july when i go to new york. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TO MY FAM ON DYNAMIC PRODUCER...IM DOWN WITH THIS SHIT ALL THE WAY.. HOLLA</p>

<p>Yep.....agreed Drape.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like I said......fbi is considering a major change VERY soon so don't be suprised to see a complete forum overhaul to a much more functional forum provider in the very near future.&nbsp; Its the same as another forum provider i've used heavy over the past year (the only other forum i ever actually go to other than DP) and i've had 0 errors in that forum over the past year (its very close to our old DP forum in features and functionality).....hell it might even be the same tho i don't remember the old DP forum provider.</p>
<p>Either way, despite the conference being in motion, shits still happening behind the scenes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>i guess all thats left is to wait and see, we cant blame her for chillin wit the forum's functionality problems during the come-up for the conference, she has a lot of work to do, so i fully understand what your trying to explain to all of us, and i think the rest of DP will get it soon as the conference is over, i mean its only for like a week, right?? so i know Felisha's gonna fix this up and make us all happier than we were before...we trust you</p>

<p>yeah, she's actually not waiting till the end of the conference tho...she's workin on shit during the conference.&nbsp; Her grind is relentless.....i must say.</p>

<p>big props and RESPECT to Felisha for working so hard for US..</p>

<p>U kno I read all of this, right - lmao!</p>
<p>Hood, Leck, Jaay, Drape, Kraft, Curt, Stupid, n whoever else feels like ventin'... its all good... VENT!&nbsp; U have to, it's healthy!&nbsp; U need to get that frustration out.&nbsp; If u don't, it can end up hurtin' u.&nbsp; It also shows the seriousness that u take wit the site, that its apart of your lives.&nbsp; So, don't feel like you're bein' a cry baby or somn' of the sort.&nbsp; Just let it out - I did when I first got on n even tho I got some responses that showed moreso bitterness or unappreciation on my behalf (which I was neither), I made myself heard n people respected me because of it.&nbsp; So, its a good thing to let yourself be heard.</p>
<p>As for the forum thing, I kno the old site was crack to everyone (but the newbies).&nbsp; Altho&nbsp;we joined back in whenever&nbsp;we joined (I don't kno if it was June, August, September... whatever), we definately saw an informative n commuicative site.&nbsp; Not to say that it isn't those things now, its just not wha it use to be, n that's only due to the new home.&nbsp; Any time u move into a new house, u have to see if your old furniture is gonna do fine in the room its gonna be in, or if u should get somn' new that may look n possibly function better.&nbsp; Obviously u would toss your 20" box for a 60" flatscreen in the bedroom, n your 60" flatscreen for that projector wall set up in the livingroom.&nbsp; But, u might wanna stick wit the big wrap around suede couch that people can't find anywhere (cause its undeniable vintage now... somn' similar to vinyl).&nbsp; If u got the money n the interior decorator handy, u can get it done in 1 shot.&nbsp; But, sometimes it takes time... so I'm barin' wit the site like everyone else.&nbsp; I've been on my grind somn' heavy these past few weeks.&nbsp; I still check the forums on the regular, but I've been on my engineerin' tip lately.&nbsp; I've been wantin' to make joints to submit n I'm gettin' back into it, not to mention we've been sellin' trax to independant artists.&nbsp; So, things have been lookin' on the up n up for us, but we still would like to rise higher than where we are right now.&nbsp; We kno DP can be apart of that equation, but we also understand that its gonna take a lil' time before that happens (which is always frustratin').&nbsp; So, in part wit bein' frustrated, we're bein' patient in hopes that things get better soon, n altho the functionality of the site isn't wha it use to be, we just have to adapt to it the best way we can n still help one another out.&nbsp; Can't go usin' that as an xcuse now.&nbsp; There's people who have it way worse than us n somehow manage to make things work for them.&nbsp; So, we have to do the same.&nbsp; Its like in music, if the game changes, we all have to adapt.&nbsp; If u don't, then u become lost (n in most cases past tense).&nbsp; No one wants to be stagnant.&nbsp; So, we adapt.&nbsp; That's all this is truthfully, n as long as we have the fundamentals like we all do n continue to keep in contact n help one another, nothin' really has changed... n things will get back to the way they were when DP get's situated.&nbsp; We do have to understand there was a pretty big event on the west coast, which possibly n prolly got DP a lot more than wha they bargained for n is gonna benefit us in the long run whole heartedly!&nbsp; Don't get discouraged... it doesn't work.&nbsp; I kno... I've been there!&nbsp; Keep strivin' n give it your all.&nbsp; It will pay off, u just gotta believe!&nbsp; Keep your heads up, I did.&nbsp; I hated rappers jumpin' on the autotune band wagon n I wanted it to stop... n look, Jay came to&nbsp;my rescue wit D.O.A.&nbsp; Yeah, u just gotta believe!</p>

<p>Beatfellaz you almost crashed my blackberry with that post............my cell phone company called me and told me that message is not covered under my unlimited data plan........then they threatened my life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>lol, nah but I read most........ (edit: some)......(edit: the first 10 lines) of it and agree with what your sayin.&nbsp; At least the cats posting in this thread care enough to comment instead of just disappearing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>bout time u hopped on this, D... i was waitin to hear u out, homie. iight im deffinetly diggin what you said specially the great examples and comparissons u brought up bout the new brib and furniture, then the autotune frustration of yours (i share that opinion too lolz i dont even like listenin to that shit got sick of it) so the one thing i believe u were mistaken on (at least about whoever participated with THIS thread) is how u told us not to get DISCOURAGED.. in my opinion i doubt any of us are DISCOURAGED (had to CAPSLOCK that 1 again)...nah, b. we all bitch and complain about the problems, but at the end we always added that DP is STILL our LIFE, PRIDE, AND JOY.. the newbies been gettin discouraged, and honestly, since they're not the same kind of newbies me, and cheese were (in addition to you jaay leck and sg im assuming)&nbsp;they just judgin a book by it's cover, and they dont wanna listen to our advice because this whole DP thing is a big "SCAM" to them... im quoting an actual statement when i said "SCAM"... look for that shit i forgot where the nigga said that and who, but i deffinetly read it.. that just upsets me even more, ya digg?? im cool and OD patient aobut these functionality problems, they bug the hell outta me, but thats deffinetly not enough to discourage me or anyone else deticated to DP as much or more than i am.. so my main problem is that such a small flaw, can really hurt DP's overall rep.&nbsp;now please tell me you guys take this as serious as i do!!!</p>

<p>How do you get "scammed" out of a $40 membership fee?&nbsp; If you learn one thing on a website that helps your production, or get to submit to a few opps isn't that worth $40 punk ass dollars a year.&nbsp; I wish I had been on to see somebody call DP a "scam"..............over 40 FUCKIN DOLLARS!!</p>
<p>If someone's bitchin about being scammed out of 40 or even 100 measely ass dollars (pro membership)&nbsp; just because of a few fuckin forum errors and people not talking.....then kick rocks!&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you can find the "scam" quote......let me know so i can repost.&nbsp; I'm not worried about how those clowns feel....i'm more concerned with a guy like Boston, who's got thousands of posts, not renewing because people like that actually give a shit about DP.</p>
<p>Not saying we shouldn't be concerned about new people's feelings but scamming someone implies that someone intentionally misled you into paying a fee with promises they aren't keeping.&nbsp; No one promised there wouldn't be an error on a forum....no one promised a certain number of members would post a day.&nbsp; Opps and conferences still going on AS PROMISED!&nbsp; That's just an ignorant comment all around.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>It definately isn't a scam... that's one thing I made sure I looked into when checkin' these producer sites out.&nbsp; I said the same thing, its 40 beans.&nbsp; If that hurts u, then maybe u don't belong here.&nbsp; But, we look at that as a blessin', not to mention a comfort in its own right!&nbsp; But, then again... look wha we're all dealin' wit...!&nbsp; Most of these dudes (sorry I have to take a dump on some of u, prolly) just jumped on producin' cause they see it as a way of makin' big bucks fast.&nbsp; Go grab the FL Studio n start clickin' the boxes on the screne wit the mouse... hey, Soulja Boy did it... why not them...!?&nbsp; That's all a bunch of bull, n it dies out quick.&nbsp; Maybe because he's sinkin' right now (or not happenin' as much) is the reason for them turnin' away.&nbsp; The actual music part is too much.&nbsp; Maybe it isn't wha they need to be doin'.</p>
<p>Man, look... this is a craft.&nbsp; If you're nice at your craft, you're gonna continue regardless!&nbsp; If its a scam, then u learn from your mistake n move on.&nbsp; In learnin' from your mistake tho, U GO THRU IT SO U KNO EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNO ABOUT THE MISTAKE TO ENSURE U NEVER MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!&nbsp; So, even if this was a scam... if u left, u jammed your own hole!</p>
<p>N I kno u (we) aren't discouraged Drizz...&nbsp; I was just referrin' to those that might be feelin' that way... not leavin' anyone out!</p>

<p>yea i feel both of you on that, and i was OD tight when read that post on the scam. yo, jaay imma PM u with a link to that post so you can see it since you dont even wanna believe that actual word was used</p>

<p>o yea, jaay. i didnt quite understand what you meant when you talked about Boston renewing?? u mean he's not a member anymore??</p>

<p>nah, its not that i don't believe it....i'm just annoyed by it.&nbsp; I'll check the PM.&nbsp; I just want to copy and paste my thoughts on the word scam for our new friend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>i'll do that for you, imma go look for it now. its just wasnt on a topic that had anything to do with these functionality problems, but he mentioned it anyway.</p>

<p>aiight bet.&nbsp; Beatfellaz post is more friendly but i'd much rather use mine since its more to the point.&nbsp; I'll edit just a bit tho so I don't give someone the wrong impression of DP.&nbsp; But that scam comment needs to be corrected, for better or for worse.</p>

<p>ok i apologize for reffereing to the guys quote as SCAM i was wrong he said "big cheesy advertisement" lolz</p>

<p>BUT HE STILL BITCHES ABOUT PAYING THAT $40 LMFAOO</p>

<p>i replied to his post as well, if you go to the thread you can read what i wrote</p>

<p>you got the link drape?...........and what the hell is a web feature?</p>

<p>lmfaoo.. yea imma go back and find the link i should have&nbsp;posted&nbsp;it anyway</p>

<p><a href="topic.html?id=7026&amp;p=1#p78952">http://www.dynamicproducer.com/forum/topic.html?id=7026&amp;p=1#p78952</a></p>

<p>i didnt wanan quote HIM on specifically what he said, but as you can see i showed that i was concenred in the nicest way i could i hope new cats read it and understood my point</p>

<p>Does the link work for anybody else cause it gives me an error.....guess that's an example of what the "40 dollar baby" was talking about, lol</p>

<p>i just got an error also, but i copy and paste on the page when i open the thread so thats nt my fault.. just go to general discussion's second page and the subject is "sounds of the month club?" its on the top (first few forgot which one) of the second page.</p>

<p>aiight, bet.</p>

<p>are you gonna post what you gotta say here, or on that thread??</p>

<p>I posted... n shouted homie out... n pulled his card... so hopefully he'll understand from wha I said n have a different attitude towards it!</p>

<p>word?? wheres that at?? i seen the cat talk like that on the POST ISSUES HERE section also lmao..</p>

<p>I would have to say the forum has changed in terms of involvement and old post... but I still think DP is the shit LOL! I will say I like the look of the new forum but nothings perfect (functionailty). It takes more time for some than for others to get use to something new. I haven't been the biggest poster in my almost 2 years on DP but I stay checking the forums daily, despite the changes.</p>

<p>yea i try to post as much as i can to keep shit active while the ones who were usually doing that have been busy lately, but not like imma stop when they all come back, i love starting and/or joinin the interesting convorsations held on DP's forums, and i just wanna try to stop complaining about these small problems and be greatful DP still exists and helps me as muc as it has. i havent gotten a placement or nothing just yet, but the few months i've been a member, taught me A LOT more about this industry's fundamentals, and complex rules and ways. wouldnt think twice aobut sayin that i got that $40 i paid back&nbsp;in my first week on DP, and imma renew as a pro member without a doubt or hesitation..</p>

<p>Man, just bein' apart of somn' that's able to give u the pathway to walk down for u to start makin' connections is priceless.&nbsp; I can't front n say I wasn't wildin' out the first few weeks I was a member, but I never got to the point I said the site was suspect.&nbsp; All n all, I think people just gotta understand that things happen (whether we like them or not) n learn how to deal wit the situations at hand.&nbsp; It in turn makes u a better person, better producer n better business man/woman.</p>

<p>hey, i'm a newbie.&nbsp; i'm frustrated with the site also.&nbsp; i don't know why but when i log in the first time, it doesn't work.&nbsp; so i have to relogin again to actually get in.&nbsp; it's weird.&nbsp; the forums is a bit weird since some of them don't display when i click on them.&nbsp; i'm sure the old forum was better.&nbsp; but the cost to join this site isn't so bad.&nbsp; i did my homework on several other sites before i decided which was legit.&nbsp; i wish i had known about this site sooner because i would've been a lot better at my craft.&nbsp; i'm actually trying to figure out how to upgrade my membership.</p>

<p>That's whassup IG.&nbsp; I kno it seems like everything is wrong on here somewha, but its just takin' some time for the site to get at a pace that it needs to be at for the rest of the members on here.&nbsp; They had a lot of info on the previous site, n they're doin' all they can to retrieve that info.&nbsp; However, technical difficulties seem to be everywhere!&nbsp; So, right now they're workin' on makin' things better for us.&nbsp; They also just had an event on the west side, so that slowed things down a lil'.&nbsp; But, nevertheless... don't worry bout too much.&nbsp; If there's anything u need, want to kno or wha have u... don't hesitate to post somn' up on the forum.&nbsp; U will get an answer.&nbsp; Everyone on here is friendly n helpful.&nbsp; We all do wha we can to support each other!&nbsp; But, just bare wit the site... don't mind knuckleheadz!&nbsp; (Insert infamous George Clinton line from House Party) "Yeah I said it... cry two tears in a bucket, f*ck it... take it to the staaaaaage!"</p>

<p>you've earned my respect, IG. i can tell you're keeping your head up, and sticking to the positive side of DP, which is excellent. That's great that even a newbie is being as confident and trusting the DP staff as much as we are. great to have someone like you part of the fam. Like Beatfellaz said, it'll take some time, but we all know it's not gonna stay like this forever, maybe there are some technical difficulties, but dont hesitate to talk about those with anyone you'd like privately, or publically by simply posting a thread about your problem. We'll all be glad to help. until things get back to the way they were&nbsp;(or better), you can still take advantage of the industry opps which are still constantly coming up. so just look forward and be positive, knowing that everything will be fine very soon.</p>
<p>With Peace, Love, and Respect</p>
