The Dink Network

Current Events: Site Construction/Updates Soon
Posted by WC on Tuesday December 31st, at 02:20 PM
With redink working on miasma 2.0 I don't really have much work to do on the site besides the usual duties, I tried to help work on it (there isn't much I can do), but instead I kick back and try to 'motivate' the lazy man. Anyways, I’m going to be working on fine tuning parts of the site. Click the comments to read.

First thing is I will start working on putting up at least one screen shot for every file on the site (note: tutorial and such won't have screen shots but rather d-mods and dev files). If anyone would like to help out, you can send your screen shots of your favorite d-mods and I will add them to the site along with the one I will be taking (if you don't know how to apply the dink palette I will do it for you no big deal), just make sure to include the d-mod name with it. I will also be cleaning out the previews section, getting rid of old previews that haven’t been updated in forever and things of the amount. Not sure if there is anything else I will be doing, but I'll keep a look out for things that may make the site better.

Next thing is I will be working on an faq for newbies that do not know how to work file planet. This seems to be a rising problem...

Personal News:

A new version of WDE with more helpful features, and a new anti corruption engine should be out shortly, oh let the good times roll!

Story Time:

While helping a newbie today I was reminded of back when I was helping Seth answer rtsoft e-mails back when he was getting around 100 e-mails a day for dink. I kept having newbies e-mail me (not the forwards from Seth), asking me if I was Seth, and if I was going to make Dink2. This acctually lead to me not answering e-mail for him because we really confused the heck out of some poor people. But anyways, Seth would forward me about 10-15 mail every day related to dink and question such as scripting, bugs, dinkedit, and things to that nature. Seth started getting less and less mail for dink since people started coming here more that rtsoft, and using the message board. I often though about making a huge faq about dink, it's history and things like that, but that would have taken too much work, but from what I can tell, that is already in the works and will be coming sooner than you think.

Well, that’s it for today, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy new year, and another whole great year of dinking! (Dukie, don't get too high tonight!)
