DM 8.0 is HERE! ALL READ!

[claireducky]

That's right, ladies and germs, the moment you've all been waiting for is finally here!  DM 8.0 is ready to launch, and as such, we will need to shut down our existing boards for a certain time period in order to back up all of our posts, members and such before porting them to our brand spankin new boardset!

 

Here's what you need to know:

 

1. Your posts, usernames, passwords, etc SHOULD all make it over to the new board set with no problems.

2. Tuesday, August 10 is the LAST DAY for registration, forum posts, or news comments.  That will be the last full day that data is preserved on DM.  That night the site will be backed up for the data to be ported over to our new site.

3. ANY POSTS MADE AFTER AUGUST 10TH WILL NOT BE SAVED!  So don't get mad if you post a gigantic post on August 11th and lose it because it doesn't get ported over.  You have been warned!

 

 

Tar'mon Gai'don is coming!  Are you ready?

 

 

Ajah Heads, Disc Leaders, please make sure your group is aware of this ASAP-- I would recommend copying and pasting this over to your private board.
