1) If there is a screenshot of the month, which I think would be very cool, could I do it?

2) When will the new rankings system come up?

3) I think there should be a completely new Dink Network design. Wouldn't that be cool?

1- That would be nice, and I wouldn't mind who did it. But as it's your idea, you are the prime candidate i suppose!

2- I don't know, though I'm not too bothered about rankings anyway.

3- It's been re-designed pretty recently I think, so I don't think there is much need.

1. No, that was not Jamie's idea, that was AmoebaLord's. See thread "Redink1,".

2. Eh, can't really tell you about that...redink1 is a mysterious fellow.

3. Sabre's right here, it was redesigned fairly recently. I think it's the best design yet, though somehow it's leading in the newest poll, "Which Dink Network design is the worst?" (I personally think someone around here has a sinister agenda.)

1.- i really dont see a need here, i know that personally i would never visit suchj a site...why?? i mean, unless maybe my dmod was there, or maybe if it was funny or soemthing, but i really dont see that it could be an integral part of the DN...

Basically, people would send in their ScreenShots, and I would sort them out, see which ones are the best, funny etc. and then do a post on the best ones and some information about each.

They would be good and funny

Sorry Sabre, this was not my idea that I brought up, although I was thinking about this some time back... I didn't think it would happen though so didn't post about it. When AmobeaLord posted about it, I thought I'd be quite good at it...

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT REDINK SAYS THOUGH...

Sorry, caps are broken...

I made a bit of a tit of myself saying it was Jamie's idea didn't I !!

Oh well, it's a nice idea whoever thought of it.

And Redink does answer these messages, but just not often. And he IS on a different time to us Jamie (as he lies in the US) so he could still be in bed!!

Unless you posted his a while ago...

There were other posts on this?

In any case, if there were a Screenshot of the Month/Week program, we'd put Dukie on it.

To put it simply, non-Staff don't get to have their own articles/features on TDN. If its a one-time thing (like that one Dink story in the Features section) then we'll stick it in Features. But a recurring event, nope.

A Screenshot of the Month/Week program would also be a bad idea (imho) for anyone to do, even Dukie. There aren't many interesting Screenshots available for Dink. Most D-Mods look pretty similar to the main game... hence most screenshots would look about the same. And the main point of any Screenshot thing is to show really cool stuff... but there isn't that much really cool stuff to show.

The new Rankings system will be up... someday. Not sure, still thinking about what to do with it. I will make it so it only updates once a day... otherwise it puts a huge tax on the server every time someone views the page.

Yeah, it'd be cool... but a lot of work! The overall design changes whenever I have inspiration for it to change. And right now I feel its good enough to stay as it is. Maybe in a few months, I'll change it... but I really don't see that happening.

I'm not a hacker myself, but I can assure you that Fisher-Price's plastic tools won't work.

I know how to hack, and trust me, this is will be hard as hell to hack (since is uses three diffrent servers), not to mention it would probably take a linux box and some serious hacker programs. Trust me, I doubt Jamie knows the first thing about hacking, nor how to do it. I hope that post was meant as a joke.

Make me a Dink Network member and I'll give you a reg feature that would blow your sucks of.

But on the other side I quit the DN a long time ago cause I didn't had the feeling I was doing anything.

Never mind its 1.30 here and I just emptied a liter of wodka and I can feel myself slipping away in to the abys.

But hey atleast Ia int stoned this tiem :}

But blowing and sucking are two completely different forces of physics... if you were to 'blow our sucks', then surely the universe would collapse upon itself.

And with that, I solemnly deny your request to be on The Dink Network staff... the universe is safe, once again.
