More graphical tweaks to the forum.

I added some more graphical tweaks that I had been meaning to add for a while to the forum..

Congratulations New Moderator! Guess who!

After the recent spam attack and the closing of the "Off Topic" section, and the ever approaching release of Return To Dark Castle, I knew I needed another Moderator, to help me keep things under control.

I held a Poll for people to vote on who they thought should be a mod, because after all, this is a community, and I will let them decide for themselves what they want. And so voting commenced.

And now that it's past midnight, so now we have our new Moderator, and I would like everyone to give a hand to our, and you newest Moderator:

gruz!

I know, NO one saw THIS coming :P seriously though, may he help for a long time to come, and be there to help out those in need.

In following, if you missed them before, here are some of the recent additions to the forum:

• Users can now find this board through invisionfree's database under 'Macintosh'.

• 'User browsing this forum' section, and 'users browsing this topic' added.

• Users must now verify their E-Mail addresses manually, which hopefully will cut down on spam

• Behind the scenes prepping for new Moderator.

I still have some aces up my sleeves, so expect some other cool additions over the coming months :) I know, I'm too good to you.. jk.

Another thing to note, is that the "Off-Topic" is opened again, it may be a feeding ground for spam bots for a little while, so be careful, but feel free to use it now.

And lastly! There's one more thing, as a present to this forum, and blog, I spent some hours today working on this, and I think I will share it with you check it out here:

Forum Troubles and other news...

First off, I know that there have been recent porn-spam-bot attacks, and I have been working on the situation, and have temporarily closed the "off-topic" section. I also have started a topic, fir I realize now that I really do need another moderator, for my forum. If you think you can be of some assistance, don't hesitate to tell me right here:

In other news, I beta tested Khufu with Zack Morris, and some other people I did not know, it was really fun, and helped Zack out a lot, I plan to keep helping him as much as I can, and you know what? you can too! I would personally suggest trying this game out, it's really fun online, and they need all the help they can get.. I know it's not Dark Castle, but it's nice to be able to help Z Sculpt Entertainment in anyway we can. For more information check here:

Until next time!

What we know so far....

I finally got around to making the 'What we know so far' topic I have been meaning to start forever...

It will basically be a topic will all the information we know so far (no, really?), which will be helped along by you guys, telling me everything I have forgotten so far.

I think we have found the best Dark Castle player...

For a while I thought Action Jack was the best DC player, but along came this fellow, who has done the impossible, and claimed the throne of best Dark Castle player... for now... Action may contest it when he gets his computer back, but for now I think we should give KING RICHARD a round of applause.

For those who might doubt his greatness, or are just curious on how he proved himself, look no farther, for Richard has done thus: Starting on Beginner in Beyond Dark Castle, he beat the game, continued on Intermediate, beat the game, then through advanced.... WITHOUT DYING/SAVING/LOADING! The full run clocks, 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 1 second, which in itself is incredible!

EDIT: This is not to say the permanent champion, feel free to try and surpass him, we'd love to see your skills!

Also, Richard as awarded the label of "Current Dark Castle Campion" on the forum

Dark Castle Mobile Screens

I finally got around to making a "Dark Castle Mobile Screenshot Gallery", it can be found:

HERE

In other news I gave Izdale and tbone, much needed badges to show that they were my original 2 members.

Forum Avatars

I realize that people on my forum are doing fine making and finding their own avatars, but I have been trying to make my forum more "new-user" friendly, so I spent a few hours making avatars, which I put in a new topic:

Avatar Gallery

In other news, I finally got to using a new signature, as to make it easier for other people, who had previously complained.

Short Evolution of DC3

I made a short evolution of Dark Castle 3 topic, showing how some of the levels matured, and how the graphics changed, throw a look at it over here:

LINK

Well, I was bored and stuck at home today...

So I decided to spend some hours working on making the forum more interesting, by the way of new content. So I went around thinking "What does my forum NOT have?" So I made some new topics, pinned some, unpinned some, and added a lot more content, which can be found at the following links:

First off we now have pictures, and descriptions of all the levels in the hacked teaser demo, which can be found here:

Link

I finally got around to making a topic with all the 'interesting topics' linked to in it. it can be found here:

Link

I know new users are often worried about how many topics are already in the forum, and don't feel like digging through all the topics to find the real gems, so I did the 'interesting topics' post, but I also added a link to it, and the FAQ in the 'new users post here' section:

Link

Another thing I've done, is add a catalog of all the funny pictures I've made for different occasions, such as 1,000 posts, ect:

Link

I've been saving the best for last. When I was thinking about what for forum needed, I though, "Hey, Why don't I compile all the levels we know of so far" which I did, there is a picture of every level so far shown in DC3:

Link

Hours of time spent, I hope everyone enjoys the new content!

Welcome All to the Dark Castle BLOG!!

Like the title suggests, I finally got around to making a Dark Castle blog, following the newest Dark Castle news, and mostly, pointing to Dark Castle news articles, and new posts on my forum, and perhaps some cool 'New' info.

Thanks for watching!
