DigitalPoint has more traffic (both organic and direct) ... however it seems DaniWeb has more participants and active members.

Actually I believe it's the reverse.

Sorry I was in a rush, posted that as I as leaving work.

A revenue share forum model definitely leads to a lot of crap posts. A really good moderation team should be able to combat it for the most part, but from what I've heard about DP, there's a lot of fluff throughout the site. Besides, moderators might be able to delete spam and garbage posts, but what about all of the 2-second posts that members are going to make just for the sake of posting? They wouldn't actually violate any rules but they wouldn't be quality either.
I don't think a revenue share model would work on DaniWeb because only a small percentage of our users are webmasters, and you need to have a preexisting AdSense account already approved for your own website in order to participate.

I took a look at their site and I agree with you Dani. There is a lot of volume, but not a lot of quality. And as you noted, the concept depends on an audience that already has an AdSense account.

However, I get the most benefit from their Buy/Sell/Trade forum, and I like to help out newbies in the SEO/General Marketing section.
PS: Shoutout to BigBlueBall .. I used to visit your site years ago, tweaking my AIM/MSN, haha.

Thanks for the shout out, rixius.
I was intrigued by the revenue sharing concept, but it seems like the problems it creates outweighs the benefits.
