The Dink Network

As far as I know, it's been down for quite a while now.

Dink World file download links, silly.

See above post.

...it's been that way for a while now.

When I try the download link... I get a message saying that it is 403'd... that I am forbidden access to the link... what is going out there? WC has some explaining to do.

I thought the links were working about a month ago.

It's been down for several months now. I was going to fix it by croning the script, but WC changed the root password.

I thought they were, too. Could've sworn I downloaded something from there recently.

Here you go, proof of Worried Chicken's obstinance...

If you meant that that link works, it 403'd for me...

EDIT: and if you DIDN't mean that, it still 403'd.

I never use the dinkworld links anyways.

I mean what I said, Well-Cooked is lazy and obstinate.

And what was that supposed to mean? I have no control over whether or not Dink World is up.

Your Tal, not WC... I never said that TAL had control over DinkWorld, although you probably could have if you hadn't jumped ship.

ah, I had assumed "Well-Cooked" was another silly duck joke, my bad

And what about my Tal?

Your Tal, my Tal, our Tal... everbody's Tal, yay!!

I am not Tal...

lol, mixing up grammar there.

Doh...

Working on it now...

How come nobody messaged me about this?

Proactive action? Here?
Muhahahahahahaha!!

Files mirror up and running. Working on the rest of the sites.. should be up completely in 24 hours

Mirror is running, and so is the subdomain websites (windemere and simonk's). I need to webmasters for those to contatc me for login info.

Thank you very much!!

Hmm... isn't Windemere kaput?

Secretly, no. I just never told anyone.

Unfortunetly, DinkWorld is down again

Edit: Yeah it might be scratcher, but I hadn't checked it for a long time so I didn't knew that

Has been for the past year or so.

Probably two years by now...

But weren't those previous posts just posted in 2006 and didn't they say that it's up and if it's down now then it's only 1 year not 2.

Yeah, I noticed. But I think it's been offline for me ever since I registered here...

Around December last year is when I last visited SimonK's site. But it doesn't work now. The other parts of the dink world have been down for a longer time.

Yeah. But even if they do bring it back up again, the Dink Network will always be like home to me. You all a great bunch o' guys!

The dmod page seems to be up again.

http://www.dinkworld.com/Files/dmods/

Woah. That page is kind of a mess. Can't access the parent directory. Says that forbidden message thing.

You aren't meant to access the parent directory.

Also, SimonK's website is still down.

What is Simon's website?

http://simonk.dinkworld.com/

It used to be his main website (he has/had two more websites, the Stone of Balance one and the Pilgrim's Quest one).

This will help you view his old website.

I can get to the dink world home page. (Not dinkworld.com) http://web.archive.org/web/20050312140909/www.dinkworld.com/

Can't get to the forum. Empty. Crap. Some nice graphics though. Hasn't been active since about 2004.

There's also a link to the dink network on the simonK site you posted DaVince, and I think it's the old site or something! I don't know. It's pretty cool. I would like it if the site now was like that. And I even saw DraconicDink and Merlin lurking! It had their name up the top. Then when I had a look at the board, it said Lurkers: DraconicDink, Merlin, DinkDude95. It may not be the old one. I don't know! Anyone else know?

All links on the "wayback machine" get "waybacked" too. So you're seeing an old version of any site you click through.

Okay. Thought so. I had a read through of one of SimonK's interviews. It was his interview with Justin Martin. Pretty intersting.

What's with this increase of spam in the past few months? As far as I know, it wasn't like this when I joined.

Spam bots have become smart enough to be able to post on TDN. 'tis A sad day.

Dammit, again! How did they start appearing so suddenly?

Seriously, you should stop replying to spam bots.

You misspelled the last word. It's 'BAN'.

Wow, I thought the new spambot protection would help...

It does... dinkmaster is a person and not a bot. Either way, this thread is irrelevant now.
