Default Drastic Changes

Ok, starting tomorrow although the layout is starting tonight...there will be some drastic changes to DKD.

After speaking with DK and all of the Admins. we have come to the conclusion we are going to revamp the site and actually pay out of our pockets for additional advertising. (eh hem..not cheap)

To do that we don't want to welcome users to the dead boring site we are...(no offense to Larien...me) But, instead we have brainstormed some great ideas that we believe will not only benefit the site but its users.

We will be adding various forums but with that comes the elimination of others.

Now, yes this means forums are going away...MODERATORS YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IN A PM IF YOUR FORUM WILL BE CLOSING.

We want to stress: This is in no way being done for a hostile reason but instead to make a better DKD. Not one of you did anything wrong...

The Admins. working along with DK are excited and hoping for a lot of improvement. So please be patient I will keep you posted.

If you need an extra mod I'm willing to help an existing moderator.

disabled the addon that lets you view recent posts. forums that we are making active were getting stuff posted in the them even though they weren't active yet. you could see posts being done by the mods. people were clicking on them and already reading them. when everything is ready i will turn it back on. sorry about the incovenience.

Hey everybody. It has been a very long time since I was here. I am going to be be back for awhile to help revamp the site. The powers that be paid to buy the latest version of the forum software and I have download it. As soon as I can get a database backup, I will be upgrading this site.

What this means is that all the fancy hacks that are on this site will need to be upgraded. Most of them can be done easily. I will hunt down the upgrades and install them.

I also have a few new styles in mind that were designed for the newer software.

Some of the things I will be adding are:
  • A new money system
  • A Casino where you can actually gamble with your money
  • A new flash arcade
Some of the features added with the new vbulletin upgrade are as follows:
  • Personal Photo Gallery
  • Inline spam management & prevention
  • Thread tagging
  • Search cloud / tag cloud
  • Thread prefixes
  • Reciprocal friendships between users
  • Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
  • User picture galleries with user comment facility
  • User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
  • Extended member profile pages
  • Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
  • Inline editing of custom user profile fields
  • Lightbox viewer for attached images
  • Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
  • Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
  • Notices system for navigation bar
  • Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
  • User change history
  • Social bookmarking integration
There are many new things coming.

Even though MDV is a protected forum it is currently hidden until further notice. It needs a moderator. The forum is based off of Xanth and I am not familiar with it, so I need someone that can devote time to clean it up and get it up and running.

Please PM me (Larien) If you are interested.

Thanks!

Can you explain to me what you mean by this? You might want to email me before you spend any money. I have an idea for you that might make it more cost effective than just dropping money in advertising.

Contact me me via email or post a message in the new admin forum I setup.

During the upgrade of the database which lasted 10min or so you may have lost any posts you made or modifications to your profile being that we are running a new database. If anyone is experiencing errors or problems please report them here or PM me immediatly.
