Facebook has really overtaken what DST used to be able to do. DST died long before the new owners...and nothing quite took it's place. 2peas is becoming more active again, but it's not geared to 'other' places. It's more general digital, techniques, etc., but no other digital shopping other than themselves.

Thank you!

DST has changed a lot. I used to like it there because it had all the news and trends of digiscrapping in general but it's true that it became very sour with all the drama! I still miss the way it was over there in my early days though.
I like hanging out here at SSD now, I think this must be the most chatty forum of all digistore forums!

I started out at DST, and it seemed so impersonal. I was glad to find other digihomes that were more friendly and intimate. I think SSD is pretty busy, though! We all seem to chatter a lot!

That's what I like about SSD too. Because I am from outer America I do see a lot of activity when I am not around, but I have fun reading everything back. It really looks like a big family. I don't post much here but everyone seems to know everything and when I post I get reactions or answers.

I do have to say that I am not really participating any other community at the moment. And drama is mostly what you look for yourself. You CAN keep out of drama.

I do am curious to seeing more facebook friends scrapbooking.....but I am always a little shy to ask for a "friendship" when I don't really know people in person.

I can't believe all the replies and chatter on this thread. I love this place already. I stayed up last night working on a siggy so I could be cute like y'all. Now I just need to find a picture of myself that's not horrid.

Hopefully I'll get a chance this weekend and start this portfolio thing too....

Wow, I feel lucky to have missed all the drama. I started digital scrapbooking a few years ago, but due to work commitments at the time, I didn't really do very much and definitely didn't follow the scrapbooking sites or forums. I really just got back into digital scrapbooking just a few months ago.

I think SSD has an awesome gallery. SSD fits my scrapbooking style the best. There's actually a variety of styles here and I love that the designers here are so different from each other, yet work together so well. I have discovered other designers here due to collaborations that the SSD designers occasionally do with artists from other shops or who are independent. Also, I'll discover new artists when I look through the gallery and see an SSD designer's creation with a non-SSD template or an SSD template with another artist's elements and papers. At the end of the day, SSD is my favorite shop and if and when I do shop elsewhere, I like to find papers, elements or templates that are compatible.

What I really love about it here is that the designers are soooo responsive. If someone asks for a themed kit, the designers here really do respond. (A bunch of us asked for a Desert Southwest kit a couple months ago and Eva, Meghan and Misty created a breathtaking set of papers, elements and alphas not long afterwards.) So if it isn't in the shop, they will make it happen if they can.

Also, the forums here are so active and helpful!

AMEN to liking it better now. DRAMA free zone and loving it I just know for me I found my "niche" and here is where I stay. And really I'm finding that even if I were not a babe I would not scrap with products anywhere besides SSD..with the exception of Kay Miller. I just realized this is where I belong and what I like to scrap with so I just gravitated here and eventually stopped going anywhere else, lol.

Like everyone else, I love SSD. Even though I am definitely not active, I check the message boards daily, and I love the designers here: they get quite a bit of my scrapping budget. For me, it's been enlightening to read that people basically follow the designers' facebook fan pages. Duh, I have been wondering how everyone keeps up with their favorite designers. I still find it overwhelming to have all of that information on my facebook stuff, but then, I am not a huge user of facebook.

Another two sites similar to The Daily Digi, in terms of letting you try out new-to-you designers at low to no-cost, are digiscrapaddicts and 5stardigitalscrapbooking. Also, as you probably know, MSA has a free kit each month. I also think that SSD and/or its designers have been featured on other websites, but I can't remember what particular ones.
