Just giving you new space...and I like the comment above.
Actually, I went over to DST to find some smack worthy stuff, and I couldn't find anything. Pretty boring over there unless you are into arguing over health care reform.
So I don't want to kill the conversation started in the last thread...Why has DST lost its luster? Have people moved on to a new craft, have people moved to store forums, are people actually scrapping for themselves or have they all turned into designers?

I'm wondering just how many posts Donna/Txmusicmom has deleted. If she's so willing to stand by her words, why delete them?
Is she deleting responses? If yes, why not stand behind all of your responses? If that's what you think, buck up and take the heat.
Yep, some of her posts have been deleted and the sad part is, she's not just deleted them, she's had to make a statement about them by replacing the original content. Here's one of them:

I would love to see these people that feel like they are being "slammed" to look at some of their comments made to moderate and left leaning posters. Some are either nasty in tone, act like the left/moderate poster is stupid for not agreeing with their right wing propaganda or are condescending.
They also don't understand that there are many people that have not ever posted there and just viewed the train wreck that is called HT.
If you can't stand the heat, delete the kitchen.

tammy1999 :...I honestly think that what is happening in here is when facts are given out and people don't want to see the truth, then denial starts.

LOL
Priceless. I mean, you just can't make this stuff up.
What I find funny is that "they" talk total smack about President Obama, but they sure got there panties in a knot (did I say that right?) because someone is talking smack about them.
What goes around comes around ladies.
Opeysmama is just plain sick and stupid.
Can you believe she actually snorted a jalapeno up her nose and lived to tell the tale?
What would ever possess a human to actually want to snort a jalapeno ?
Is that some kind of new trend among the conservatives? ;)
You always have to try and out do someone, don't you Opeysmama?

hey now, I'm a conservative and I have never snorted a jalapeno up my nose, but I won't go into what I used to snort up there....
oh wow!
Opeysmama is just plain sick and stupid.

I really have to wonder what motivated her to start this thread
http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=210486
I find the timing of it to be very disturbing. Given an ounce of motivation, I would say so in the actual thread and post video of another 'racial' beating that happened earlier this year, to balance the scales.
certainly bunch of designers leaving sbb. wow to the ddesigner ShelleyRae is gone after 6 years. this is long time to sell 1 store!. want to know what is up with the site WHY they all leaving this place? watching to see where they opening shops. i have 5 of randioh kits and love them. i like also damiante. maybe sbb do more to keep good designers. any scoop why they leave i thank you.
dst gives me headache. i knowing you all write of the pages that with stock images. why bother at all?
I'm a little late to the game but...
the DST HT's forum is an regrettable obsession of mine, kind of like watching smut TV. I used to try to engage them, but every time I posted anything I'd hear crickets....i'm way too liberal for even the liberals on that board, no one really gets me there. anyway...
I do have to say though that it doesn't really surprise me that tammy spouted off racist crap and didn't even know it. at least most of the ladies there know they are racist and try to hide it. i saw tammy say things on multiple occasions that made me cringe, and i couldn't in good conscious not call her out, and often just ended up talking to myself. so i stopped posting there all together.
but this recent drama has really peaked my curiosity and I'm so glad some others called her out as well and were not willing to let her keep on spouting her racist/ignorant crap.
however, hope i don't ever end up on the wrong side of this blog though. keep on fightin' the good fight ladies. it's been enjoyable watching all this unfold.
Opeysmama is just plain sick and stupid.

What she said ^^^^!
She's the reason I began posting to the hot topics forum during the election. I couldn't let her blatant Fox-"news"-based propaganda go unanswered. I often wonder if she's ever had an original thought.

Of course she doesn't. Like I said once before, anyone who feels the need to define themselves by whose mommy they are has serious issues. It's like they don't have their own persona. I'm a mom but there's no way I'd define myself as such.
Seriously, my wv is havent. As in, they haven't a clue.

......................................................................
(snort) Opeysmom is the worst out of all of them. The garbage that comes out of her mouth. If we were to listen to her you should be building bomb shelters and hide because Obama is so evil he is going to destroy everything.
Black hearts my ass. The truth sometimes hurts. The interesting thing is that they really do not think they have done anything or said anything wrong. It shows that it is all about them and how they feel. It is not about any other persons opinions because they will always be right.
I'm just curious...aren't liberals supposed to be open-minded? It's always, always, ALWAYS been my experience as a conservative that I'm IMMEDIATELY scorned as a hateful, racist, evil-hearted bitch as soon as I admit I watch Fox News. You think you feel slighted? Really? I could lose my job if I let on that I believe in a flat tax and legal immigration! How stupid is that? I do have very dear liberal friends who ARE open-minded and with whom I discuss opinions freely, but unfortunately I can count them on one hand. We learn alot from each other, mostly because we listen to each other and respect each other. It makes me so sad to see this drivel here, there and everywhere. And, yeah, yeah, yeah, I should just stop reading it. I know. I can hear the shouting already. If you really believe in your convictions, stop arguing with dorks on DST and go out in the world and make a difference. Otherwise, your words really are just that. Words. Big frickin' deal.
^^^^^^^^^^^
boo hoo. go cry somewhere else. i doubt your seen as a cold-hearted bitch because you watch fox news, it's probably because you really are a cold-hearted bitch. you just make yourself feel better about it by blaming it on people's so-called unfair bias against fox news.
First....Fox News....no comment. My advice: Take their "news" as entertainment value and nothing more.
Second...Maybe if some of you right extremists realized that you are not the only ones that walk the earth and you HARDLY represent what the citizens of this country want as a whole, you'd be more desirable to have a conversation with. Most of us 'lefties' have conservative views about a lot of things. None of you conservatives want anything at all with anything remotely on the liberal side. A lot of you HT regulars are hard-core Obama haters who believe he's not "your" president and no matter what he does will sit well with you, as you think everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. That's extreme....too damn extreme for a lot of folks just looking for a civil conversation. When we can't even discuss the speech he gave to the school children without it being picked apart for nothing more than hatred towards him, there's some serious issues going on that don't belong in a place that isn't JUST a conservative board. The forum name is Hot Topics not What Conservatives Hate About Obama Today. There's LOTS of other boards that share your views just nicely and you'd make a good fit. NOT the HT boards at DST.
Another way to put my post, in much fewer words...stop being assholes to people because they have different views than you.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Ruby Rynne, you're my hero. I wish I had a third of your bravado. Unfortunately, Daddy taught me at a very young age, if you don't agree with me keep your mouth shut. It's something I've tried to outgrow but...it's not that easy!
Ruby Rynne, I have tried to look at your stuff at your store, but I cannot get the "designers" to filter out other diesngers the way it should. Plus links to your freebies aren't working, and all in all, you are actually very hard to buy from!
My momma always said, "if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all". Those are some wise words.
Damn it would quiet round here though wouldn't it :)
Freebie hunter, anything that's linked from my blog that WAS at DSP will have disappeared since they took down all my posts etc after I left there. I will see if I can find all the old zips and put them on direct link. Thanks for letting me know, it hadn't occurred to me there would be broken links from that.
All the other freebie links (where the file is hosted on my server or on Rapidshare should work fine, you do have to have Javascript enabled for Rapidshare.
Finally, the store link on my DST sig is direct to my area of the DSB store, if you want to just see my stuff (I'm wondering if that's a JS issue for you as well, worth checking maybe).
OK, that's the end of the customer service announcement, returning now to your usual program...
Sorry for hijack!
11:44 AM? I'm 10:59. You made my point.
You hate people so far more than you would ever think a conservative could.
You keep telling yourself that, so you can sleep better at night.
The most ironic thing I've seen in ages is opeysmama accusing someone else of having a dark heart. She's as mean and nasty as they come.
Isn't it interesting how all these chatty ass cathy's that were on DST all became designers and just up and disappeared.
What? No time for 1000 comments a day on each others photos anymore? Let me see how many comments I can get. If I comment on 300 today maybe I will get 100 back and look good.
^^^^^^^^^^^
They must be the same ones that follow each other around on teams. Let's all be on the popular designers team.There is nothing worse than every designer picking the same people to be on their team. I, yes a designer, goes out and looks for the people that no one knows.It's all just a bunch of B.S.
_____________________________________
Or how about the designers that have 45+ layouts to show you with the sale of their kit. Sheeze, I'm over the damn kit by the time I am done looking at all the layouts.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Agree. Do they think it makes them look better? Shops that allow this should be banned. It is so irritating.
I don't want LOs as kit previews--how can I know what was in the kit and what wasn't? Unless a designer is requiring their CTs to scrap 100% with that one kit, then how does the 'sample layout' help me at all?? If I want scrapping inspiration, I'm perfectly capable of visiting a good gallery.
I'd much rather have some good previews of what I'm actually getting with the kit. I don't need or want to see what every freakin' one of your CT members did with your kit!
I am appalled that Opeysmama dares to put "Have a Blessed Day" in her siggy while making comments like the ones she's been making to Ruby today. Blasting Ruby for a thread that she started months ago? Making bitchy comments left and right? What ever happened to the forgiveness and neighborly love that are taught in the bible? She is a disgrace to Christian teaching.
Yes some of these designers have overdone it with the CTs. Some have 30 or more CTs that all have the same style, I would much rather have 4-5 LOs that are that showcase different styles. Another thing I don't like is when they combine four LOs to one preview, its much to small for me to see what is in the kit. I really like a separate view of the papers and elements. I can't remember who does it but one designer does their previews with with the papers and then the elements laid one individually on 2-3 pages so you know exactly what you get.The other thing I wonder is with over 30 CTs who is left to sell to?

Many times, the loudest, screechiest "Christians" are the ones who are really anything but. People like her are why Christianity often gets such a bad rap.

I have found this to be so true, IRL too. I couldn't agree more.
I can't stand the fact that they always feel the need to let everyone know. That's nice they love their religion. Why is that something everyone needs to know? If I was an athiest, would everyone feel it's necessary for me to constantly reference that fact?
"have a blessed day" doesn't bother me so much except for who's signature it falls under. I live in the bible belt so I hear it almost daily.
That's my rant on that and I'm done.
That's nice they love their religion. Why is that something everyone needs to know?

It's not. The uber vocal, pushy religious people are almost always the ones to watch out for. Opeysmama is a perfect example of that.

--------------
I don't know if this is the designer you are thinking of, but Holliewood Studios does her previews like that. I think some of the other designers at Oscraps do too.
I have to agree on the huge number of LOs in some designer's previews and that so many of the CTs have the same style.
ok, fess up...who threatened the designer that fired Tammy?...I know I said I was not going to buy from them until they got rid of her...but I didnt even have a chance to contact them...did someone really threaten them or just make them aware of what Tammy said?...curious is all
I wouldn't be surprised if the designer herself read the thread, or read it here, and just "said" that she was told.
Maybe its easier to say she was forced as to not cause hurt feelings or commit to her decision
ohhh crap! Im out! I have been reading this blog for 4 days and I outed myself!~
But as I don't CT anymore, and Im not a designer I guess I can use my name here!
It's ok Jessie. :)

Exactly. Anything Tammy1999 says is suspect in my book, and I'd almost bet that the bigot is exaggerating and/or making stuff up, or that the designer kind of wimped out and exaggerated or misrepresented what was said to her, if anything. She could have just read something here, too, and decided it was a "threat."
Have been waiting for Tammy to make an appearance all day at DST. Darn I miss her spunk and sass. ;)
Come on out and play Tammy. We all miss you at DST. ;)
^^^^^
Oh, she'll be back to HT-there's no doubt. She has hair-flipped quite a few times and she always comes back.
Also, she's just milking this right now--what better way to play the victim than and get herself even more attention?

Please set the record straight. You did NOT email me. I did not receive any email(s)from you. And just so you know, I will not respond to you if you do email me. I will post the text of your email to this blog, and let my readers respond. Thanks for stopping by, and quickly making and passing judgment on those that use this forum to freely express an opinion.

I have sometimes wondered why someone would host a "smack" blog, and worried: maybe they were looking for black-mail material. (if they could figure out who was posting by IP) But now I see a much better reason:
use this forum to freely express an opinion.
Can I just say how much I appreciate that? Sometimes, in the digi "community" people are so vindictive and downright nasty that one wrong statement or thought put into writing could haunt you forever. So this blog is a nice change from that.

------------------------
Very well said and so true.
I have tried to post comments on the HT and it was impossible to have a decent discussion. Unless your post is in support of the far-right, the mob attacks, and they assume you must be a Bush-hating liberal. The people on that board are such hypocrites. They preach respect and open-mindedness, but they attack anyone who dares offer an opposing view.
Here is another thread overflowing with hypocrisy: In the thread about the 'Bury Obamacare' signs. MrsMegmcclure had the nerve to insinuate that the OP was out of line for posting something negative about the conservatives. It is a perfect illustration that the HT forum ONLY welcomes people who post in support of FAR right views. She also assumed that the OP must be on the other 'side' (her words). So if I understand this, if you are AGAINST an anti-Obama sign, then you must be a Bush Hater who thinks hateful signs about Bush is okay? That is so narrow-minded. Most people aren't that polarized, but the folks on the HT board are, and that's why they can't relate to more moderate or centric views.
I'm a left-leaning moderate who fully supports President Obama. But I'm NOT a Bush hater. I'm socially liberal. But, guess what? I'm pro-life and fiscally conservative. So, please don't make assumptions about me. I don't fit into one corner because I think for myself instead of just going along with a particular party.
And I listen to many different sources for my information - including FOX, MSNBC, CNN and the internet. When I hear a story, I double check it on different networks to help me eliminate the spin and find the facts.
Truth is, because of the mob mentality, the conversations on the HT aren't even that interesting. It's just a bunch of people posting clapping smileys in support of each other and bragging about what they snort up their noses. There are more intelligent conversations here on this blog and in the comments posted on news blogs and youtube!
And what about that auddymay? I've never seen anyone so full of herself!
HT is very formulaic now, "you're right." "no, you're right." "you're right." "NO, you're right.....wait is someone from the left posting?" "Left leaning with socialist tendencies, kool-aid drinking, ACORN loving, you're going to bankrupt my grandchildren by wanting healthcare Democrat....go away." "Yes, you are right." "I know I'm right and hey, you're right too and so is Glenn Beck."
There are some really smart, left/moderate ladies on that board who's opinion are either glossed over or not taken seriously at all. Good luck to them.

Oh I know the answer! Once something from this blog linked to someone's profile and you could see the last 10 people who viewed it (so basically, you could see who was reading and following this blog). When I linked, guess who I found there? DST Daddy! LOL!
I posted about 'catching' DST Daddy reading this blog and 'magically' they removed the names from the profiles right after that!
^^^^^^
I figured it was because we had caught a few of the DST mods.
don't you think tammy1999 was one of the ones banned for creating an alternate ID? I think donna's just playing out the hair flip, too bad there's so much butt kissing going on in there. And since when did "I'm sorry you took it wrong" count as an apology because that's all you ever get on the rare occasion one of them "apologizes" for acting like an aS$hat
What happened to filmore at HT? Curiously silent.
Tammy & Filmore, must be suspended. Big Daddy said, if anyone was caught with two nics, they would be suspended for 30 days.
I have to believe Tammy has been suspended. That would the only way to shut that whiner up.
my theory is that filmore was tammy and they've both been banned
WV: outin (need I say more?)
I saw Tammy online last night. She may have gotten a warning. I do think Tammy is/was Filmore. So all these people that are saying "who would do that, we wouldn't" and it ends up being angelic -sarcasm- Tammy.
The kumbaya feeling on the boards right now is not not not how it is at all. The unmitigated meanness is just not coming out now from Tammy and Lara Payton. Opeys just doesn't give a flying fig at any point.
They certainly all did shut up and get real quiet, didn't they?
What's the matter, are you all pissed? Carry on with your one-sided conversations with yourselves...no one cares. It's not like what we say here matters, anyway, right?
tammy and filmore made each made thier last posts within minutes of each other on the 15th. Two days ago. hmmmm!
Filmore isn't banned

I've met my long-lost twin:)
I think it's sort of a shame that DST Daddy and the DST mods threatened to ban people. Obviously (from the number of people posting here), there are many people that would like to debate and express an opinion in the HT, but don't feel comfortable doing it with their regular names. Although many would call them cowards, I think it's a reasonable position. Anyone who designs or is on a CT shouldn't be posting in that thread because they are representing a business entity and the topics are too controversial. What happened to Tammy is a perfect example - how many people are willing to risk their CT positions just to post an opinion?
Some of the best threads at DST have occurred when someone created a new name and posted their opinions anonymously. When that option is taken away, we are left with a bunch of butt-kissin fake niceness with no dissent, or the current group from the HT that have already dug their holes so deep they don't even care anymore.
It's a shame DST Daddy and the Mods can't just let it be. Some of the best posts in the HT were from 'newly' created IDs. But now that DST Daddy threatened to ban them, they've disappeared.
I wish they would configure DST to NOT show hot topics when you click on new posts or today's post.
Scrapbooking is my hobby and something I do for fun. I don't like the hot topics area personally. I don't even like seeing some of the thread titles like "another horrific beating", "bones found on Garrido property", "very disturbing", etc. Yes I know there are horrific things that happen everywhere. I can read my paper to know that. I don't like going to a scrapbook site to be reminded of all the horrors out there.
Hot Topics warning should be changed to according to the select few, your opinions welcomed but to be ignored if they show us to be wrong or ignorant and or we just don't like the attitude we perceive that is in the way you typed.

Actually, I'm pissed that they weren't banned. In one breathe we are promised the offenders will be banned and "it is not tolerated!! yadda deeda do" and in the next breathe we're told "weeeeeeeeeeeeell we did find someone but if they do it again, THEEEEEEEEEEEN we will ban them".
Translation- They are either a mod, friend or big money spender on DST advertising.
The board needs to press the big red button and end the suffering.
It's a Digi Scrap Forum to begin with. So if they don't want to lose their precious CT positions, they can keep their mean mouths shut.
Too bad isn't, they have to make a choice?
Well who said life wasnt fair? I do recall a number of those making that exact statement, to those less fortunate in some of the threads.
Yes they should have been banned. But we know how that goes.
Tammy was probably whining & crying about life not be fair, and that she will never do it again.
Funny that big mouthed designer Lara is missing. That I am glad about. She is one mean Mama. With don't take no prisoner attitude.
DST should do us all a favor and close up shop. does shannon even scrap? they have totally ruined digi.

That's always been one of the biggest problems at DST. They are wishy washy and inconsistent with the "rules." They do not apply them equally to all.

How about this? just don't go there? I am bored with them too but why not just stay away?

i dont go there very often but i would still like to see the community without its existence. I would like to se eif it makes any difference. That along with the praise games at big sites.
I don't want LOs as kit previews--how can I know what was in the kit and what wasn't? Unless a designer is requiring their CTs to scrap 100% with that one kit, then how does the 'sample layout' help me at all?? If I want scrapping inspiration, I'm perfectly capable of visiting a good gallery.
I'd much rather have some good previews of what I'm actually getting with the kit. I don't need or want to see what every freakin' one of your CT members did with your kit!

I totally disagree with you. I like to have LOs in the kit previews and I know a lot of people who do too. It shows me what I can do with the kit. I buy a kit based on the LOs not just based on the main preview or papers and elements separate previews. Maybe I don't have enough imagination when I see just a sheet of elements together? I need inspiration and I don't have time to run around every galleries to search for layouts done with that kit.

OK, gotcha. I'm sorry if I sounded a little bit snippy, I thought so after I saw it in print. lol
Friends? :)
I really think DST was a good thing in the beginning, it still could be. I'm not sure what changed, maybe just that it was so new and we were ALL there.
Then everyone started going their separate ways. MSA, each store, etc.
I also remember when I would post something and get lots of comments, now I'm lucky if I get ONE.
And yes, before you ask, I DO need the praise. LOL

That convo dates back to May! I'm assuming it refers to the infamous Lily-Ann thread, which broke around May.
September 16, 2009 11:54 PM
Right on the ball 11:54. Anything else you'd like to know 11:37?
3:37 no problem.
i dont think dst can recover. its a whorehouse for CTs. i think it served its purpose as far as a haven for digi when 2peas shunned us but now i think its doing more harm than good. MSA is better.
with digi getting so big its hard to say what will make it better but this whole eveyone is a designer and shove products down your throat is getting old. i am on a couple CTs and its seems hard to get in touch with potential customers. how does anybody make money when everyone is a CT member?
i have been branching out of the digital community and looking for inspiration at paper scrap sites. I figure some may be thinking of doing digi so its a better place to pimp my CT. And by pimp i mean show off my designers products without being terribly overbearing.
one place i found that i like is scrapbook.com. the community is huge but people are actually real and accepting. once i got 20 comments without playing a game and 18 out of the 20 were really nice more than two word comments. i was kinda shocked.
Personally, I'd like to see a new digi site with no NSBR forum. A site with only digi related stuff. That would weed out the non-scrappers whose only intentions are to stir the pot. (Yes, I do believe there are plenty of non-scrappers at DST)
whats up with filmore being an invalid user now?
The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind. They can say what they want to say ... they shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out ... Freedom is a two-way street ... I don't really care what the Dixie Chicks said. I want to do what I think is right for the American people, and if some singers or Hollywood stars feel like speaking out, that's fine. That's the great thing about America. It stands in stark contrast to Iraq
George Bush to Tom Brokaw
Maybe George would say that you shouldn't be dissapointed if you lose your ct position for speaking your mind.

September 17, 2009 5:28 PM
I guess whoever it was decided that being banned wasn't worth stirring the pot with a second ID. They may have even asked to have the name deleted. Wonder if the posts are still there or not? Yes I'm too lazy to look LOL
People are not losing CT positions because they spoke their minds. They lost their positions because the stuff they said was offensive. The designers have the right to get rid of someone that makes comments like Tammy did. Many a politician has done wrong, apologized and still lost their seat. We have the right to say whatever we want and we need to live with the consequences if some stuff that is said is rude, arrogant and/or bigoted.
I do not believe the designer in Tammy's case was threatened. I would not be surprised if the designer was told by whoever e-mailed them or e-mailed the shop owner that they would not buy from them because they were associated with someone like Tammy. I'm sure they were linked to very "hot" topics at DST. If they are going to lose business over an employee (it's kind of what a CT person is) and the ugly stuff they are saying then I have no problem with that person being let go.
I love how some HT people complain about this, but completely support Glenn Beck going after people like Van Jones (a favorite topic there). Van Jones called Congressional Republicans assholes. Shouldn't Van Jones keep his position if we go by their thinking? They claim free speech and people like Tammy "apologize" (or make a so called apology). Van Jones apologized and still resigned. But then it's probably ok only when they do it.
Oh, you mean the Glenn beck who says Obama "has exposed himself as a guy with a deep-seeded hatred for white people" and "I believe he [Obama] is a racist"? That Glenn Beck? Sick. If they want to be judging of people by the company they keep, are associated with or blindly listen to, they need to take a step back and put a mirror in front of their faces. To paraphrase a pretty brilliant post I read on another board: "A man's best defense against sounding like an idiot is to shut up."
Translation- They are either a mod, friend or big money spender on DST advertising.

Or, it's not them. Did you think of that? It's not always a conspiracy. Just because there are peole who think it's them, doesn't make it so.
The fact that Lara has been missing is more relevant.
I totally disagree with you. I like to have LOs in the kit previews and I know a lot of people who do too.
----------
I like previews with LOs but I am totally uninspired when every LO seems to be the same. I don't mind the LOs at SA because the store team does them and at least you are getting different scrapping styles.
if ur talking about layouts in the kit whe i purchase it. i would not like that. if i want to see a LO i will look one up.
so is there any evidence obama hates white people? where did that come from? did glenn back provide a source of some sort? i tend to avoid mainstream entertainment. did anyone notice that emily powers offered a review of his book at friends,family+laughter? i wish designers would keep thier political agendas to themselves. i love her products but could do without a glimpse into her beliefs.
I have wondered about Lara missing too. Very odd indeed. She was at the heart of it all. One of the first to post a new thread or comment on a new thread.

Glenn Beck is an idiot and the only place that came from was the vacant space inside his skull. He said it during a spot on "Fox and Friends" which is on Fox News in the morning. You are wise to stay away from mainstream media, although Beck isn't mainstream, he caters to the really-off-the-edge wingnut right wing fringe. He certainly does NOT report the news.

Do you mean she is one of the first to open a new thread and paste an entire biased article then expect people to take her seriously? When I saw that I realized the stupidity I was dealing with. BTW filmores posts are still there she is just an invalid user now.
^^^^^
I've noticed that too. I remember when a user was so pissed with DST she asked to be removed, but all her posts remained.
Who did Tammy CT for?
Ashley,
Boy you were taken my Amanda Dykan. You had no clue huh? I remember that you were a topic of chatter here a few posts back. Someone asked about your kits. I hope you or your CT didn't plant that post. The feedback was unfortunate.
Tammy CT'ed for Julie Marie & Cara Mia.
Just noticed that Filmore is now a guest.

Sheesh, get over it already! We don't care about typos in their newsletter.
so how is one suppose to pimp a CT? It seems so hard in digi to find a place to advertise for a designer. I CT for designers I love so I would never push something i didnt love but with the abundance of Cters and all the rules around digi it is hard to advertise. So far I just upload my pages and try to leave love.
"Some of the best threads at DST have occurred when someone created a new name and posted their opinions anonymously. When that option is taken away, we are left with a bunch of butt-kissin fake niceness with no dissent..."
Although I can't stand Tammy, I agree with this entirely. I remember a few good anon postings that ended up in a real furore when the truth came out.
One that sticks out in my mind was when someone outed Divian (does she even post anymore?)for talking all kinds of smack about people at DST on her blog. The blog post was very quickly removed and she came on DST deperately trying to back-peddle with some ridiculous story trying to explain what she really meant. But it was too late - the truth was out. The thing that amazed me the most was that most of the stepford wives women at dst actually jumped to her defence. Utterly unbelievable!
What other good anon threads do you remember?
I can't remember any good anon threads, but I used to jump for joy whenever the "Bettina Deadhorse" persona would show up LOL. She could have a hayday in the HT. Wish she'd show up from time to time.
I wrote that Divian thread. I had to make a new name as I knew she was becoming the "darling" of DST. I was also a CT/pub/praise whore at the time and didn't want to jepordize anything I had been reading her blog for several months. I finally just got tired of how bad she hated all of us. But boy did that backfire. Lesson learned :)
Lol, the Bettina Deadhorse character was good!
I'm sorry the Divian thread backfired on you, Jessie. I too remember how she would come on DST and pretend to be this nicey nicey, angelic being and she'd be praised for being 'so classy' etc etc,. Vomit. By posting her blog you showed people her true colors (even if some simple minded women were in denial). Her two personas were like night and day. Her DST personality practically had rainbows blowing out her ass, while the real person was clearly a filthy-mouthed, hate filled woman with no class whatsoever.

yup me too...except for the paper scrapping site part. I've gotten to the point where the scrapping sites don't cut it for me anymore..same ol' same ol' kwim?
I've branched out to the digital art sites like Deviant Art etc.. it sucks cause I spent so long in the digi world, networking, becoming "known" to have to basically start over BUT these sites are/can be really good for the digi world.. give away some freebies there, talk bout your designers if you want.. there's a large market out there that will use the products without making a scrap page.

Looks like a crazy wandered in!
I stayed out of the Divian thread as I thought it would be a train wreck. I saw her blog post and I was shocked, but it seems she managed to get in there quick and hide her blog before too many people saw it. Unfortunately this allowed her to make up some excuse about the black women's forum and people believed her. I think the majority of people on that thread had not even seen it and were defending her without really knowing what had been going on.
Maybe she was telling the truth. Maybe the anon poster just had a grudge against Divian? I wouldn't be surprised.
Can I just say I cant stand Thene? She gives me the creepies.
^^^^
geeeez.. "the creepies"? what are you, in 2nd grade?
Thena is a perfectly sweet and kind lady, and is not smack-worthy. Find someone or something that actually deserves smack. And grow up while you're at it.
You girls are SO off-base about who Filmore is but it sure is entertaining to watch you guess!
Yeah, well, it's kind of like trying to figure out who's posting here. Does anyone truly give a rat's ass? Not really.
But I'm sure glad you are entertained.

I can't recall a specific thread, but time and time again there have been threads where no one has the guts to say what everyone is really thinking...then finally someone 'new' pops in with 1 post and posts an unpopular (but truthful) position. I'm always silently clapping when that happens.
I don't recall anything about Divian - I must have missed all of that drama! I don't even know who Divian is and I've been in the digiscrapping community since 2005!
I don't even know who Divian is and I've been in the digiscrapping community since 2005!

Same here but I've been digiscrapping since 2003. I found DST in 2005. The thread wasn't very long and I must have just missed it. I guess divian just never stuck out enough for me personally to take notice to who she is. I can't stand the whole popularity thing and try to completely ignore any kind of sheep flocking mentality. lol There's so many designers around that it would be close to impossible to know who all of them are, anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why, didn't I just say that I was a CT/pub/praise whore at the time? I did what all good CT people do. I watched my designers back and brought something "out" that needed to be out. But of course annon.
Its been two years, and I have moved on. I don't publish LO's anymore, goodness I don't even put them online, I don't CT, I couldn't even name 5 designers that started in the last year. I shop with the same 4 designers that I like and work off of 2 Hard drives of stash that I got when I was a CT/pub/whore.
If you know me enough to expect better of me then I was probably on a CT with you, which mean you are on many CT's and still in probably a CT/pub/praise whore cycle. To each their own. But at least Im honest about it
Scrapbooking is vicious
like i said DST is a whorehouse.
Scrapbooking is vicious
September 19, 2009 8:59 AM
Only if you let it be. If you act with integrity, treat people right and don't indulge in vicious behavior, you tend to stay above the fray. I've been designing since 2005 and the most vicious behavior to which I have been exposed is the constant piracy of my work. Do I let it get to me? No. I have the links killed, move on and have a great day working. I've been privileged to work with beyond-great designers, store owners, CT members and customers.
Maybe I'm just lucky?
I don't think people really care who Filmore is. It's just funny that they don't have the balls to post the crap that it spews under their own name.
Thena does not deserve the bashing here. She has not once said anything bad about anyone. God forbid someone actually try and be positive on the HT board because they get bashed too.
Only if you let it be
___________
Excellent statement. I learned something once that has stuck with me ever since. People don't make you angry, only YOU can make you angry. When I started designing, I was blissfully ignorant of how vicious some people can be. I let that viciousness get to me and I let anger and jealousy take over my designing. I now stay completely away from the whole CT thing, don't advertise on DST or any other "popular" type of arena and never participate in anything online. I put my stuff in my stores and I'm grateful for the sales I make and the nice comments I get. Staying away from all the drama and worrying what everyone else is doing (which seems to be a huge deal with some people for whatever reason) has been the best move I ever made. When not designing, I tend to scrap with my own stuff but do have a few favorite designers I buy from.
LOL..since the topic was politics a while a go, I'll add that I treat this blog like I treat Fox "News," It's for entertainment purposes only.
9:36. I would have liked to say it as well as you. I am at that same place now. I have my shop, and I'm grateful to make a sale. I have only comeback to boards as an avenue of promotion. I feel better being "outside". I don't ever want to be that involved again
Jessie, what was your id back then? I'm trying to figure out if I knew who you were during the time of all the Divian brew-ha.

Another reason I don't get involved in that crap. If everyone can't play/join then it's not worth my time. They'll be picking favorites anyway.
I'll just scrap for myself and be happy.
You people are the most sanctimonious group of haters I've ever seen. At least the women in HT stand up for their beliefs WITH THEIR NAMES. You're so ashamed of your beliefs that you run over here and whine & complain ANONYMOUSLY with such vicious words.
The only people you bitch about are conservatives, so it's obvious you're a bunch of liberals, so your agenda is simply to blast people who disagree with you. At least be honest about it. Post over in HT with your names and stand behind your beliefs at least.
And you say the right is a bunch of crazies... sheesh look in the mirror & grow up. You give liberals a bad name.
ok in the interest of getting lost over here cause of the HT posts **lol** I had a idea and wanted HONEST feedback! What better place than here for that:p
What IF someone started a gallery that was just a gallery. No designer pimping...no freakin' praise game. Just a place to post your stuff, credit your designers IF you want to and leave praise just because.
The almost impossible hurdle to this I'm thinking is the "policing" of the no designer pimping rule. hmm...now that I've thrown this thought out there the more I'm thinking it couldn't/wouldn't work in the digi world. Guess it's just me wishing there were a place like that.
Someplace like it used to be in the whole of digi world before everyone and their mother started designing.
^^^
lol! You don't have much room to be talking about sanctimonious, "Jazzy"
Feeling better there, Jazzy? Good. I wouldn't want you to come in here, get all good and pissed off and then leave without feeling just a tad better.
You feel free to come back anytime and bash on us all you want. We'll be sure to do the same.
Oh, and I totally believe your name is Jazzy, too. Have a GREAT day.
Psssst...Hey Jazzy...calling people a "bunch of crazies" and "sanctimonious haters" are vicious things to say. Just saying. You know glass houses and that kind of thing. ;)
I'm not really sure how effective it is for you to blast people for posting anonymously when..."Jazzy" isn't really telling us who you are exactly is it?
If you think the only thing that the people on this blog bitch about is conservatives, and therefore we are all a bunch of liberals, you either have big huge blinders on or you did a search for the word "conservatives."
The people here bitch about EVERYTHING. Any lame ass little thing. It's a smack blog. Really, it isn't Sunday school. So probably you shouldn't read it if it really bothers you.
People said nasty things about conservatives because they knew it would get people with conservative views riled up. And they knew that the posters in HT were coming here reading this. They were hoping it would bother you. Good thing you didn't let them get to you right?
Good job on heading over here and slapping a label on everyone though. You really showed everyone that you are tough and mean business.
In fact, your post alone has made me turn over a new leaf. I'm going to drop my evil George Bush hating liberal ways and quit having all of those abortions and gay marriages. I'm gonna head on over to DST and start very publicly shitting sunshine and gynormous rainbows all over the place. You'll be sure to know my posts since my avatar will be a photo of me riding a unicorn and I'll be posting under my "real" name. Gosh, everyone posts under their "real" name at DST!! See you there k sweetie? (((Hugs!!!)))
Oh, and thanks for not blasting people who disagree with you here Jazzy! You really do practice what you preach. That's why we wub you so much!!! :) :) :)
LMAO, Jazzy you are a moron! If you've read through the comments, there have been several posters who said that they're conservatives, but they think the HT right wingers are over-the-top loonies. It's not just liberals who think those HT ladies are whack jobs. I don't post in HT because I don't have hours upon hours every day to watch cable news and read endless articles, so I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to participate. It has nothing to do with being ashamed to post my opinions. Thanks for stopping by, though.
Just shut your trap Jazzy. The atmosphere over here is breathable & fresh. It's really constricting over at HT.
Aw, Jazzy :( Sounds like you need a hug!
You have a nice day.
Things sure have been more tame in HT since they started reading this blog. I wonder how long they'll be able to reign themselves in . . .
Probably not for too long. Bigotry has a way of coming out.
i think Jazzy is one of the HT nimwits. She thinks this blog is all about them. Tnat is what txmusicmom thought too.
So somewhat serious question- does anyone else find the name 'DST Daddy' just a little creepy? Or is just me?
No, it's not just you. I always thought that too, lol. I also cannpot fathom why all the nut jobs keep talking about how hot he is too. I mean, seriously?
i think Jazzy is one of the HT nimwits. She thinks this blog is all about them. Tnat is what txmusicmom thought too.
i guess they think if they kick his ass they will continue getting their way. He hangs out more than Shannon. I can see why Tammy would think he is hot she looks like a man herself.

I always thought the nic DSTDaddy was creepy, too.
It says a lot about Shannon and her DSTDaddy that they allow the bigotry to reign unchecked in the HT section.
I never liked Shannon either, to tell the truth, even when everyone was kissing her ass in the beginning. I always thought she was a smug bitch and really up her own butt.
I don't mind putting my name to anything. I left Hot Topics a couple weeks ago for various reasons. I went to Hot Topics because I thought I was learning so much from so many different people when in actuality I was making myself more informed.
There are some great gals there i.e. Tiffikat, Theresa Hernandez, Scribler and more. I wish them well.
The people that post here under anonymous here are not sanctimonious they just don't feel that their comments are heard on Hot Topics. It happens.
a smug bitch

ok in the interest of getting lost over here cause of the HT posts **lol** I had a idea and wanted HONEST feedback! What better place than here for that:p
What IF someone started a gallery that was just a gallery. No designer pimping...no freakin' praise game. Just a place to post your stuff, credit your designers IF you want to and leave praise just because.
The almost impossible hurdle to this I'm thinking is the "policing" of the no designer pimping rule. hmm...now that I've thrown this thought out there the more I'm thinking it couldn't/wouldn't work in the digi world. Guess it's just me wishing there were a place like that.
Someplace like it used to be in the whole of digi world before everyone and their mother started designing.

===================================
I think that will be a FABULOUS idea!! "What if" there was a place where all people could upload their layouts without having to worry about crediting designers/kits, but just show off their work? No pimping, no promoting, just showing off their pages. If anyone is inspired by a certain layout they can always PM that scrapper to find out which products she used. It might place people on a more level playing field without the obvious pimping requirements. Not sure if it will work, but I'm all for it. Wishful thinking???
I think the idea of a comment-free gallery is even better. Then there's no way it can turn into a bullshit, pimp-fest, or popularity contest.

Who would pay the cost of the site? Who would spend all the time maintaining it? Where would the revenue come from to pay for all of that?
You do realize that the cost to maintain sites like DST, DSA and MSA is covered by the advertising that the designers pay for right? So can you really make designers pay for advertising and then have an "promotion free" gallery?
It might work if you are willing to pay a membership/subscription fee to post in a gallery like that? Because really that is what it would take to run the kind of gallery you are talking about. Unless you have really deep pockets and a lot of time on your hands and want to start and maintain one out of the kindness of your heart.
There are lots of online scrapbooking groups where you can share layouts. Or you could always start one yourself and invite the people you think you'd like to it. Just a thought
i thought it would be nice to get a flickr group going like that

The nic DST Daddy kinda goes along with the phrase "want a lolly little girl?"
that is associated with pedophiles :P Very creepy indeed!
Yep - my thoughts exactly.
so to that person who says a site like DST is too expensive to run without ads. do u think that shannon gets nothing from DST. I dont know why she would keep it up if she didnt. she obviously does not have it around so she can hang out and she is not providing the community with a great place either. its is a horrible place that has gone alomg way to kill the industry.
If you know me enough to expect better of me then I was probably on a CT with you, which mean you are on many CT's and still in probably a CT/pub/praise whore cycle. To each their own. But at least Im honest about it
Scrapbooking is vicious

Hate to burst your bubble, but I was never a CT/pub/praise whore and I was never on a CT with you. I just noticed you on the boards and took note of what you said. I formed my opinion solely on that. How does that make not honest?
"Scrapbooking is vicious"
It's not scrapbooking that is vicious - it's women.
Oh puleeze, so are men.
I made the comment about women being vicious, and I AM a woman. I think we are way more bitchy ,gossipy and back stabbing than men. Sad but true.
Proud Republican here.... y'all on HT are crazy bitches!
Allow 5 to 10 comments on each layout.

I totally agree. The 'sisterhood' is a myth.

No, we aren't. I asked quite a few men about this and they laughed themselves sick. Men are just the same. I've never understood why so many women are so down on their own sex.
