Digitalpoint or Sitepoint?
We all know Digital point and Sitepoint are the two largest webmasters communities on the net today, however; with being the largest brings change and Sitepoint used to dominate Digitalpoint’s traffic up until they introduced fees for their marketplace, where Digitalpoint continues to flourish since everything is free - and doesn’t require any money to post deals, or sell your websites.
So, the question reminds, what site has the better community? We all know Digitalpoint is a lot more active than Sitepoint - because it attracts more people, however, Sitepoint has always been a different webmaster community since it’s a community than focuses on web development, its book, and its blog, where Digitalpoint focuses on its tools, and its community. But what site is better for a new webmaster? Well, if you’re looking to learn about CSS and various other programming languages, then Sitepoint is for you, but if you’re looking to meet new people, make contacts, and learn how to network to flourish your web business, then Digitalpoint is for you.
Sites usually sell faster on Digitalpoint since its marketplace is more active than Sitepoint - and that’s because it doesn’t have any fees and all the webmasters - that were once active on Sitepoint have since flocked on over to Digitalpoint, but why has so many webmasters left Sitepoint in the dust? Does Sitepoint’s management suck - or do their servers? You tell us because both communities have their fair share of scammers, spammers, and servers problems.
But that’s not up to us, it’s up to you guys. What community do you think is the best for new and old webmasters, Digitalpoint or Sitepoint?
The sitepoint marketplace neds a lot of work. $20 for a listing and no protection against deadbeat bidders. Maybe sitepoint has made some changes, but the markerpalce is still pretty bad.

Digital Point for networking; Site Point for sales. The $20.00 is well worth it IMO, as SitePoint has a LOT less scammers.
