Title: Anyone noticing this?

And it could go with the questions about How's DT, which is double any of these three.

Is DP dropping? I thought for awhile it was edging up to the top four. Now it's down in the lower fringes of "Middle Earners"

DP is on life support! Big isn't far behind. Best earner for me over the last month by a very large margin has been FAA and I didn't think I'd ever say that.

I doubt that. When they can get a big cut of a $300 sale and we get 3% I would say that they are reaping the rewards of those scams. Remember, they are calling credit sales subscriptions, giving us subscription commissions and keeping a huge chunk of the revenue. They "tried" to hide what they are doing by making some peanut, useless change, but the reality is that they are raking in the doe.

Does the site here track the monthly numbers and keep a record?  I know I don't pay attention, but a chart or trend would be interesting for the past year or years.

I see something when I copy that says "arrow" but I don't see the arrows? They are short term anyway.

I'd like to be able to look at January 2013 vs January 2014 vs January 2015 - for the poll as a whole,  for example. Instead of personal results and numbers, on messages. We all have ups and downs. But a larger survey would be more stable or representative than, "I had a bad month..."

Great point...who can pull that info out?

Thank You, I haven't looked in years, and I wasn't paying attention. Looks like a knot down there on the bottom, but the answer (at the moment) is DP went down and BS went up. That's how they got to be the same at 7.6

never did dp, but the irony about big is that they were actually much better for me BEFORE ss bought it. everyone thought ss buying would be better for big but really they sank like a stone right after ss got it.
much like when istock took over the other good little one which died too horrible death .
goes to show that getting bought over by a big name does not mean you get better, most times they could be digging a grave for you 8)
