  3. I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro, and it was running like a dinosaur. After talking to the IT guy at work and someone else who did it, I followed the advice of a CNET.com article I read and upgraded my HDD to an SSD. And just like that, my computer is faster than it ever was when it was brand new... Not only can I now open a program and not wait a couple minutes for it top open, but I can switch users, having everything fully functioning in 7 seconds (previously 2-5 minutes). Which means DM is now FAR more accessible... *does a happy dance* (So if you don't know... an SSD is a hard drive that has no moving parts, so it is more efficient and eliminates the nee…

    Back to the Future: The Age of Legends 2014 Empy Awards! That time of year has come again when Dragonmount celebrates the year that has passed and all the fun we have had. As you may have guessed, this year's theme is the mysterious wonder that was the Age of Legends. With homage to the Back to the Future series, the theme is to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future. As the Wheel weaves, what once was will come again. Thus, we have one question to ask: Who are the Legends of our Age? Who will take out the Dragon Award? Which group will win the V’Saine Award? Who can live up to the expectations of the First Amo…

  7. Only five of us have signed up so far... come on, we need more! In fact... if you sign up, I'll give you a promotion point. The sign-up thread is in the Arena. If you have never played the Dice Game, that is ok-- this tournament is designed so that you don't have to have learned the game in order to play.

  10. We are planning to do a music cagematch soon, and a while ago I asked for nominations. Well, they're all in, but we have way too many! To make sure that we include all of the bands that you really, really want, please vote for up to 20 of the these bands to be included. (There is no minimum-- just limit your votes to 20 please.) There are three poll questions because 20 is the limit for number of choices... pretend they are all one question and pick your top 20. Thanks!

    Davrick walks along the road towards the encampment. A pack fill with his belongings on his back and his swords at his hip, he smiles as he sees the Band's Banner waving in the wind. He starts to pick up the pace a little excited to be back amongst the members and the taverns. I'm Back!!!!! Real life dragged me away unfortunately, but I'm back now! Time to start some brawls!

  19. Welcome, any visitors (any Bander's too, I suppose...), to our Boxing Day Snowball Fight! The only rule: No channeling! (Sorry Banders-- Band Law still applies to us. We have to make it a fair fight, right?) Otherwise, everything is fair game! So roll up your sleeves stick some ice in a yellow snowball, and enjoy yourselves! Horn walks through the Band's camp, nodding approvingly at the hastily-constructed defenses. Not bad for a quick half-hours work. Outside the edge of the camp, a table is set up, numerous copies of Mat's Medallion--Elayne's handiwork--ready for visitors to don before entering the channel-free fight. Looking back at the front gate: Af…

    Today was my final day of duty after ten years in the U.S. Army. My discharge is official in a couple days, but I am done, and now I am fully out-processed. Which means I am now free to not shave! I will keep a grizzled look until my high school ten year reunion next month, but then, watch out world, I am growing a beard!
