Site Discussion

Posting images here at StheD is fun, and easy to do. Screenshots and personal pictures are great to share with fellow forum members ( I am a screenie addict myself...;)) Since we have so many new members, I thought I would compile some information regarding posting images here in the forum. While it is acceptable to attach images, you can also use a free image host when posting pictures. Please note that posting an image via "hotlinking" is unacceptable (Strider 978 has made this quite clear in his posts correcting hotlnked images, as have other moderators.)

Okay, in your profile, I've learned that if you type out your email address you will most deffinitely get SPAM.

Search Bots start out on Search Engines (such as Google and Googlr) and search for websites such as forums, etc.
They go through every link on the sites they find looking for email address links. They find them and then sell them on a roster to companies that will send you spam. I suggest you take your email off any sites that you have posted it on.

I was wondering on the subject of perhaps moving Siegelets to it's own section, no longer in the DS1 section. I felt this way because it seems to me that as more mini-maps and eventual siegelets will come out for DS2, we should make it a more universal section, not limiting to DS1.

I know in the past that there was a ranking system, but I recall it being removed. I think that it would be cool if we brought that back. Maybe custom ranks for more active members, too. Just a suggestion.

For those of you who want to use the beta portal (it has a shoutbox) you can click the elf at the top of the site and it will take you there. Clicking the logo will always take you to the forums. See image for clarification.

There will soon be some updates to the portal as I am almost done with my studies for this semester.

Am I just missing something? Or messing something up, more likely. I haven't seen the shoutbox in while and I so enjoy leaving smileys and such. , see? But the missing shoutbox makes me feel all and :?

Do any of you guys have problems with the site loading slowly?
Here it loads instantly almost every time but it seems that might
not be the case for everyone.
