| New D-Mod: The Fairy Named Bincabbi |
| Posted by redink1 on Monday November 4th, at 10:06 PM |
scratcher has released a new romp titled The Fairy Named Bincabbi. He says:The Dmod's rather small, and it takes 30 minutes to accomplish at most. There shouldn't be ANY serious bugs, (although I haven't had it beta-tested) or bugs at all, but if you find any, I'd really appreciate if you'd drop me an email. Thanks. |

| Site News: The Dink Network Store Opens |
| Posted by redink1 on Monday November 4th, at 10:47 PM |
|
The Dink Network Store is now online, and ready for you to start buying things. There are a large selection of items, ranging from Stickers to T-Shirts to Teddy Bears. This is the first iteration of the store, so there is only one basic logo (which is based on the next web design). In the future I hope to expand the store so it has multiple logos to choose from, at the very least headless ducks. All profits will go towards a community fund, which will be used to pay for services which will benefit the community in some way. Possibilities include a file server (the current goal), contest prizes, and so on. For more information about the current goals, funds, etc. click here. |
| New Article : DinkC Tutorials : Lesson 1 |
| Posted by Kyle on Tuesday November 5th, at 02:32 PM |
|
I thought it was a good idea to create a series of tutorials to assist people in learning DinkC, so I took it upon me to do so. Redink1 thought about doing it too some time ago but never got around to it. I know that there are already some tutorials that cover this subject, but from here on I will expand throughout the coming weeks. I don't know if this will be a weekly article, because I have to be in the right mood to write a tutorial. It may take only a day or maybe a little longer than a week, who knows. For those of you who wanted to learn the language this will be a great opportunity and for those who already know it, well, they can refresh their knowledge. The tutorial is in the comments, so what are you waiting for? ( Read More ) |

I was thinking the other day that pages of people whose link has changed are likely to be viewed a lot less than normal. That's why, if you want to report an address change, put it on the board and I'll post it. In case I miss it, just send me an e-mail. This counts for people who want to open up a new webpage as well.

| My Appologies |
| Posted by PureEvil on Thursday November 28th, at 10:16 AM |
For those who actually care (can't be many  ), I appologize for the delay in posting the next interview. Between some serious school projects and a very ill girlfriend, my time has really been compromised. Look for the next installment soon. I hope to have my Q&A with Gary Hertel within a few days. For those of you in the US, Happy Thanksgiving.
