Message Boards have Returned

WarderDragon - June 19, 2005

The Twilight Sanctuary Message Boards are now back online. It took Proboards significantly longer than expected to implement version 4, but the changes aren't bad for a free message board. Everything is intact, it looks and works much better than before. Feel free to take a look.

Stardock, with its Object Desktop technology, has unveiled its World of Warcraft Desktop Theme. I've downloaded it, and its worth the download if you are a World of Warcraft fan. It changes your whole GUI, such as buttons, start menu, etc. You can download it here. Microsoft Games has also released a new Warcraft themed set of Window's Media Player 10 skins, which can be downloaded here.

Blizzard has also announced that it has reached over 2 million subscribers worldwide, and it continues to grow.

The World of Warcraft has completed its vintage poster contest, sponsored by Zboard. Many of the vintage posters are based off pre-1960's posters and advertisements, with a World of Warcraft theme, and not only are many hilarious, many of theme are well done, made by truely skilled artists. Take a look here.

Finally, Blizzard is running a new screenshot contest that many might be interested in.

To celebrate the launch of the Battlegrounds System, Blizzard is giving away a rare, life-size mannequin of a Night Elf female.
To enter the contest, take the best screen shot you can within one of the Battlegrounds Zones and submit it using the Web page link below by June 20th, 2005.

We will run them through the gauntlet of dev team scrutiny, and will announce the winners soon after. So train your photographer's eye on the Battlegrounds and good luck!

Message Boards Down For Upgrades

WarderDragon - June 11, 2005

As you might already know, Proboards is progressively upgrading their message board systems, and is now in the process of upgrading the Proboards42 server. I am not certain when this will be complete, but it should end soon. The upgrades seem to be a revamp of the way the boards work, such as the entire title area is clickable to access the area, not just the hyperlink. This means they must copy over the code and the actual text, which can be risky to old posts if done too fast, and I doubt Proboards wants to offend its users by deleting important posts and information. The process should be completed soon though.

Here is an example of a working Proboards v4: Dark Tower Message Boards

Welcome to the New Twilight Sanctuary

WarderDragon - June 4th, 2005

After many weeks of wishing to remake the site, I have finally been given the chance to rebuild Twilight Sanctuary from scratch. There is still much I need to work on, and a great deal that is not complete yet as you can probably see, but the groundwork for the new site has been laid. I will update more upon completion of the site.

Also, if anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me at warderdragon@hotmail.com
