    I've been finding this site offline a lot, the last two days, is there some server thingy or am I just on my way to get banned?

    Are you sure it's not something with your ISP or connection, mathboy? I had that happen to me at one time and found that it was a problem with my cable line - a squirrel had been chewing on it. I haven't had any trouble getting on.

    Now I haven't got any either, it lasted for about two days and just affected TA, so I don't know really, I asked this question mostly hoping it was DU improving the site.

    It's not your connection: it happened to me too, and it seems to be something that recurs periodically.

    The site's being improved, you just won't see it until it's all finished¹. Not sure why the site would be going offline though, could be the server is dying and all will be lost!!

    ¹Don't ask me when that will be though. In the meantime, it would be nice if someone else was posting news and stuff. I mean, really.

    Seriously, it would be nice to have someone actually bringing in new content to the site. If someone were actually doing that stuff, they might have been able to get T-A a Vampire Interview.

    I don't need to make you an admin to do that. All I have to do is make you a "news poster".

    Question is, can you post news?

    Me trying to post news:

    GameSpot just made a preview of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

    Good to hear it's coming soon, now we just have to get those monster computers to play it.

    Source:RPG Codex


    This was just to show how I would post it, I saw there were different (HTML) tags in the news forum but they don't work here.

    Yar, HTML is allowed in news posts.

    Question now is, would you want to post news?

    Oh dear god, I'd school you so fast in posting news. DU, you gotta see it don't you? I can work with HTML and I'm pretty damn good with Photoshop, so I'm always here.
