The Dink Network

As of today, Tal is now the 'king' of The Dink Network. Please give him a round of applause, and maybe some nice blaring trumpets.

For more, please see the comments.

Long Time Coming

On August 20, 1998, redink1's Smallnet was launched. While other Dink sites slowly stopped updating, I continued to upload D-Mods and post news. After months of these updates, I realized this was a lot of work. Man, if I could get other people to help out...

On June 29, 1999, The Dink Network was launched. This web site welcomed other staff members to post D-Mods, write news stories, and more. But, while other staff members slowly stopped visiting the site and doing their duties, I continued to upload D-Mods and post news. After weeks of these updates, I realized this was still a lot of work. Man, if I could sucker someone else into running The Dink Network...

On August 20, 1999, I posted to the old, official Dink Smallwood forum and asked if anyone else wanted to take over The Dink Network. Nobody responded.

Several years pass.

On January 9, 2008, I'm finally passing the torch to Tal. I think we came up with this idea like 4 or 5 years ago, but at the time, The Dink Network required a lot of manual administration that I didn't feel I could teach to Tal (my fault as a teacher, not Tal's fault as a student). So I spent years working on 'G9'. After dozens of designs, concepts, and false-starts, we're at a point where things usually work.

What Does This Mean?

You should go to Tal for any complaints and suggestions. You should also ask him to approve any D-Mods (or any other files) that may be pending.

I will still be paying the bill for The Dink Network, and I'll still fix any bugs that might come up. I will stop visiting the forum regularly, but I'll still check in from time-to-time.

Lunar Phases

I still have some plans for G9 Phase 4 that I'll probably implement in the next few months.

Poll Comments

Poll 60: Were you upset that the last poll was not changed in quite some time?

1. I killed the poll. Not the godlikes, not the admin, not the staff, but me. That's what happens when I get angry. I kill thing. And I was angry.

Poll 62: Scariest Animal

2. Walking down a alleyway.. and you just see Tal sitting there, God thats scarey enough to make you want to comit suicide rather then wait to see what it will do to you,
1. All rats, snakes, spiders, centipedes and wasps serve some useful purpose in the circle of life. I know a LOT of humans who serve no useful purpose whatsoever, hehe.

Poll 68: Primary mode of transportation?

1. Riding Tal? I knew the Dink Network was warped, but honestly... I still picked that option, but that's beside the point.

Poll 70: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

1. Didn't we have this poll before? I won of course, but that's just because I'm awsome. More awsome than chickens.

Poll 71: What is your favorite subject?

1. I felt like I couldn't choose between maths and science, but in the end the smiley somehow caught me...

Poll 74: Favorite Mythical Creature?

1. Horny horsies! No wait, that sounds wrong.

Poll 75: On average, how much sleep (in hours) do you get per night?

Poll 77: When it comes to soda companies, I like:

1. XXX goat incest

1. I like the new look VERY much. Makes me think that Dink is still alive. Thanks to ALL of you dedicated Dinkers for makinjg this 54-year old Geezer very happy.

Poll 90: What's up?

1. The poll reaches an indescribable low. Also, the box I'm typing in has such a tiny font I barely see it with my glasses on.

Lifetime Achievement Award

Goodbye

Goodbye, fellow Dinkers. It has been a blast.

Whoaaa. Tal? In Charge? Hmmm. And why does everyone
else make better comments than me in the polls.
I mean, I tried, I think. Really.

I wonder if the DN will get sexier now...

Noooooooooooooo, The Dink Network is dooooooooooomed !!

Well, hopefully you'll use this time to attempt to enjoy life.

As the tides ebb and flow, so do leaders.

It has indeed been a blast.

LONG LIVE THE KING

Peace out redink1! You've been a super groovy king! I'm hoping the next guy will meet or beat the grooviness standard I've come to depend on over the years.

P.S. So wait... if tal is heir to the throne... does that mean redink1 is tal's daddy?

You're finally going! You've been here so long, taking care of the Dink Network like your little baby... guess it's time to let him go and live a free life... er, at Uncle Tal's, of course.

Well, ReDink1, see you around! Thanks a lot for starting this site once.

It's the end of the world as we know it, but you know what? I feel fine. It has been announced countless times before, and now it has happened. Congrats on finally cutting this knot

Thanks for having run the DN for all this time. Good luck and have fun with whatever you are going to do with your life.

And congrats Tal, may the DN under your reign live long and prosper and such. Insert trumpets here, if you like.

Bye bye ReDink, see you in HELL!

Seriously though, enjoy your retirement, you're the guy who's given the most to the Dink community despite all the allegations of laziness. =)

Testing...

Ah, there you are, red star. Oh, how you captivate me!

Thanks Dan for all of the so many things you've done for the Dink community!

Wow. That star looks awesome on you.

Absolutely, Redink1, thanks for all the work you've done for us.

And thank you, too, Tal, for all the work you will be submitted to do... It's kinda like we're the whiny, complainy kings and you're just something of a slave to jump at our whims. Welcome into web community management. Hope the tiny red star will be worth it.

And thanks to me, too, for being such an awesome poll-replyist. What a great thread this was

You know what would look even more awesome on me? You, baby!

wait, hold on... so a duck has taken over the DN? I could see maybe a bonca or even a pillbug, but a duck?!? Sounds like a twisted plot for DMOD...

You will be sorely missed, Dan. I will always treasure my Christmas card, and you were right - My name does suck.

So, Tal... any plans to start hosting some Talporn here? Not all of it, obviously (young minds and all that jazz), but the 'lighter' stuff?

I love Chewbacca

Ooh.

The King is gone, long live the King!

Over 9 years... wow. Who else is still here from the days of the Smallnet?

You've done a good job with the site Redink1, it's sad to see you depart, but I suppose you have to carry on with your life. We'll miss you

Interestingly, that was part of Sphinx's original plot to Back from the Grave.

(Thinks Carrie has been "chompin'" on too many twigs and leaves if she thinks that the DN will get any sexier.. ) Thank You Mister Redink1 for all the wonderful years you have givin' me....errr us !! (Hopes Tal changes his picture....not fond of a duck being bossy) Blows a whistle for Tal.....................

Well, a king has retired, a new king has arisen. Thank you Dan, for all that you've done.
Tal... good luck

Long live the king! (The old one. Tal must earn our respect...... respect earned.)

Woah... it finally happened.

Actually, I think redink1 just doesn't want to be King when this site goes down. He doesn't want the major embarrassment, humiliation, homophobic insults, other stuff...

Anyway, this sucks Dan, I'm going to hate you forever for handing over this site to some guy who's an expert at playing with himself in the dark. But, eh, good luck with your life. We'll miss you.

Say, Tal, when are you going to release your first D-Mod? More like, when are you going to learn DinkC?

You know, if Tal were to give a demonstration of what he could do with his new status as King here, I don't think anyone would hold it against him.

word

Thanks for all you've done Redink, we'll miss ya

C'mon now when you have that extra time, make a D-Mod!

"Poll 70: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

I don't see why everyone voted chicken. It was the egg that came first. It came from Woolworths.

It's going to be hard times for the poor DN...

Noooooooooooooo, The Dink Network is dooooooooooomed !!

The Dink Network is doomed and you're the living proof of it.

*Wimper* Why? Why?
Thanks for hosting the DN!
It finally happened, Tal:Good Luck!

"SOB"
well. its sad to see all guys leaving the place.
well but redink1? how come? I cant believe..
well any ways.
LONG LIVE TO X-KING REDINK1
LONG LIVE TO THE y-KING TAL.

super sexy tal pal, Please take good care of this site

well all smiles are for tal and all sads are for Redink1
i am really sad. man after all he has contributed a lot and well in other words he was like a TEACHER in dink matters.

GOOD BYE REDINK1
Take care

GOOD LUCK TAL
Take care of DN then Your self pal

Good luck Dan I wish you the best in whatever you do. Thanks for all your wonderful contributions to the community, Dink would not be the same without you.

Also congrats to the new king. Hail Talmadge. Time to change that profile
Eventually I am poised to inherit the webmaster throne from redink1, or so he once claimed; neither one of us is rushing the shift of power, nor do I crave it.

I don't think the DN is doomed, it will just change a bit, Tal isn't some demented psycho killer (as far as I know) so we just need to be vaguely sensible and not fight or spam all the time.
And thanks Dan for all your work, you were the one who told me to get stuffed and make my own D-mod so I did and here I am, I salute you.

I was just checking in and... Wow! big news. Good luck Tal. Congrats on being webmaster of your own porn site.

Ban him! Ban him! Bananation!

Wow. I'm speechless.

I understand that Tal will make a great leader and administrator, but I just can't imagine this place without redink1 in charge or at least here to talk.

I just want to know. redink1 are you leaving due to "Not enjoying the Dink Network anymore" or "I have things I enjoy more that I want to devote my time to"?

As for Tal...

"Ah, there you are, red star. Oh, how you captivate me!

...and so the shadow of darkness falls over the once fruitful (LOL) kingdom of the Dink Network now ruled by the secretive duck that sits on the Frozen Throne (Warcraft 3 reference).

"You know what would look even more awesome on me? You, baby!

Behold his reign of sexual favors begins!

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Wow. Hi Paul. Haven't seen you since... come to think of it, I've never spoken to you? Mr legendary-D-Mod-dude. Glad to see you.

One word:
NOOOOOOOOO!

What are you going to do about it skull? You could always start up a new Dink site and see how easy it is to manage.

I think he meant that big 'no' to his dislike that Redink1 won't be the admin anymore...

This is sad.

I simply thank you for all these years of Dink Network, and wish you luck.

But see you around some time.

;( well....... the dinknetwork has changed a lot since i was gone....
all praise redink1 for .....for.....hmmm......
whatever hes done so far XD

Ah, well. At least you didn't say you were going to leave forever. Anyway, you've done an awesome job.

Oh, and may Tal forever rule over the land of bananas and headless ducks.

(One of these days I'll be back for good, hopefully. )
(Note to self : I also really should learn how to deal with deadlines. :/)

Hades, I started up another site (with a friend) and I find it easy to manage. Although it is difficult when your parents aren't willing to pay for the internet bill and change it to a different plan that is apparently 'similar' but cheaper but instead i mysteriously only have 71MB of usage for a month. how... difficult...

Well if you have a job and there are more than a dozen or so regular members it could get a little tedious but if it's a smallish thing then I suppose it wouldn't get too out of hand.

i blame lack of marketing, and lack of marketing is caused by people not wanting to know about it, therefore i blame the oppositions users of ignorence even though there are no oppositions and there are at least 2 pending 'partnership requests' that only redink1 knows what happened to

and that is why not many people are there (i think)

Being obtuse... it's not just for triangles anymore.

Don't be normal to the perpendicularly orthogonal conversation!

Heh heh.. brilliance.. or then I'm just too tired. Take your pick

I'll go with brilliance, only because I'm too humble to assume you are tired.

*Being obtuse... it's not just for triangles anymore.*

Hahaha. *snort*

obtuse triangles? isn't obtuse greater than 90 degrees?

\
\ >90 degrees
\---
\__\________

triangles usually have acute dont ghey?

You've done a very fine job contributing to the validity of my statement.

Well if Redink is gonna leave, the best successor is definitely Tal.

Thanks for evereything Dan,
Enjoy your life as "the King" tal

see you around evereyone

So then, I'm sorry to see Redink1 go, but...

Will this site ever be updated?

Speaking of which,
what will happen to the cast series? Is it never to be seen?

OMG ITS OVER,
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
before you know it the Dn will be a little bit too sexy if you what i mean

I repeat- will this site ever be updated?

Never ever ever!

The King has spoken!!

Hooray!

Neva?

Funny how people thought it was the end of the world two years ago and it's still going strong :/\.

This was the worst idea in The Dink Network's history. They should have made someone else the King.

+1

I'm not sure if the world is still going....i'm quite sure it died last month

No hellfire your thinking of mirth earths cousin
