I'm glad others feel the same about the old DST when it was good. I thought MSA tried to kind of recreate that at one point, but they seem pretty dead over there now too. And Me So Scrappy- checking that one out. So much new stuff to see, I totally appreciate all the links everyone!

I agree about sifting through all the stuff that's just okay. Both layouts and products, but especially products. It would be awesome to be able to connect just with designers and scrappers that you liked, lol. Like a personalized gallery.

And whoever got my hopes up about being able to get this months Daily Digi kit for $5, I forgive you. Maybe I'll subscribe for a month... but I don't have much of a scrapping budget right now!

Okay...now I really need to get scrapping on those challenges so I can settle in here at SSD. And I need one of those cool name siggies...

Sorry that was me.
It has been a while since I've bought TDF's and last time I did it was still an option. Now I'm kinda even less likely to go there. Hmmmmm. Sorry again for getting your hopes up.

I know right? I wish they would change it back

In the early days when digi-land was smaller I enjoyed DST. Then it exploded and then I think it imploded lol. Once it got huge it brought in a lot of just plain rude people to put it bluntly. I still upload my layouts there but I probably have been in the forums once in 3 months. I miss the days when it was a smaller nicer community b/c it was a great place to find out the where's and what's of digi land.

MSA got off to a pretty good start but then it sort of fizzled. I still like to browse the gallery there better than DST though.

But I don't feel like I'm missing too much b/c SSD is where I've always been and always wanted to be anyway

As for Facebook, I have lots of digi-friends I think we talk digi a good bit but we also talk about personal stuff too and that's okay with me b/c my online friends are just as important to me as my IRL ones

I miss it, too. But I left long before it changed owners, because the feel of the site had changed and it was all drama and promotion.

DST was great when I first came back to digi in 2007 after a year-long hiatus and had to get to know all the new sites and designers. But after I'd been there a while, I realized how much time I was wasting looking for new products, trying new designers, following every sale, etc. That's when I settled on SSD as my main site and got involved in the challenges here. I love the forums and designers, the sense of community, and the style of pages in the gallery. I'm sure there are other things out in digi-land that I'd like, but I never bother going to look for them. I'm perfectly happy here.
