First I want to thank everyone involved in the survey, from the staff members that created it and made sure everyone knew about it, to the members who took the time to openly and honestly give us feedback regarding this site's operation. We didn't want to leave everyone in suspense regarding the results, especially as we'll be using them to inform our decision making process for the planned site upgrade "Dragonmount 8.0" (Yes, the rumors are true.) Also, members were given the opportunity to give detailed comments in each section of the survey. Many of you took advantage of this to give us specific comments on what we do and don't do right around here. Witho…

I'm having some tech problems here I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a trojan virus embedded in my computer, it keeps showing up in C:\WINDOWS\system32\brfxD04.dll. I've been trying rid myself of this menace. I have AVG and it recognizes it as a trojan, and says it's cleaning it out, but it isn't. Every time i open a file in my computer I get a warning about the same trojan threat. Any suggestions??? PS i do realize that this revelation maybe worry some people, but I only put this out because I'm trying fix it. I apologize if I'm causing anyone to worry about my posts.

I need 5 replacement managers for a 12 team, H2H, 6x6 (5x5 plus OBP and WHIP) dynasty league. Full rosters are kept year to year, including a 10 man minor league roster. Teams start C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, UT, SP, SP, SP, P, P, P, RP, RP. You would be taking over one of the following rosters. The league year starts with a minor league draft for teams to add available minor leaguers (including all 2008 draftees), and followed by a two round major league draft for unowned players. For both drafts, teams without open roster spots will need to drop a player to make their selections. Here are the available rosters - first come, first served. Please PM me if you ar…

Was not sure if I should post this in that forum since it was just a random question, but is there a post or list of what each podcast covers? and links to that podcast? that would be awesome :)

Hey guys, I'm a budding writer and I couldn't find anywhere else to put this. Would someone mind reading it and giving me some feedback? Please be as harsh as you like I want it to be better not the same because someones afraid to hurt my feelings. As in all things Neflan of course had a beginning. This beginning was called the time of peace. Nothing existed yet so therefore nothing could go wrong. Peace ruled and nothing was evil. Into this peace came Algar God of all, Ruler of the Heavens King supreme over all. Algar awakened and was made aware that he was all powerful and nothing could stand against his might. Not simply because nothing existed but bec…

*holds up the turquoise LG Scoop* It's spiffy, as far as the whole qwerty keyboard goes. The ringtones available are also pretty awesome, far as selection on the Alltel network goes too. I mean, I got "Violet" by Hole, "Lost" by Red, "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" by Rooney, and "Ice Queen" by Within Temptation. It DOES look like a record store threw up on my Winamp so my ringtones are no exception. But this Scoop is my 4th one. First one had a weird defect in the screen that put an X of pixelation. Second one's qwerty keyboard shut down and then so did the front panel. Third one had the charging dock fall out and die. So, we're onto number four. Good thing …

I stumbled across an interesting website that is kind of a cross between fantasy football and madden franchise. Free to play...basically build a football player, get him signed to a team and then watch the games get simmed. Players get exp and level up. Leveling up gets you skill points to add to your core attributes. You can even own teams and sign other players to contracts. Been playing for about a month and has been a blast.

Following on from the "2008 Top Singles - It's A Knockout", the contest returns, but this time in a shorter format. The idea is for the thread to last a week and focus on a particular artist, group, singer or musician. And the first up for this format is Queen. Monday saw Bohemian Rhapsody triumph over I Want to Break Free. The next tie is between Another One Bites the Dust and Don't Stop Me Now. Another 4 songs will go up to determine the semi-finalists. The Grand Final will be up on Sunday and the winner announced on Monday before the next contest. In order to go the thread quickly, it can be found here. Also up this week is the Band of the Red Hand's weekly T…

As many of you know Dabel Brothers Productions has entered into an agreement with TOR to finish the New Spring comics as well as produce a new Wheel of Time comic. I was pestering them for a few days and I got them to release some images over on the Dabel Brothers forum. http://www.dabelbrothers.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=95 I rather doubt that many from here are headed over there, and I waited a few days to see if the news would make it up over here. Not yet so I created an account to post here. http://dabelbrothers.com/images/CUTOUT1WIP4.jpg[/img] Yay. Register over there and pester them for more promo art. LCS (Local Com…

What a great, great game last night. Who watched it? Anyone think the last Arizona play wasn't a fumble? And Larry Fitzgerald is just ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Hands like that are unfair.

Throughout January, the Band of the Red Hand ORG has been holding a knock out competition for the top 16 msuic singles in the UK. And we are now at the Grand Final, as well as the 3rd/4th play-off stage. Basically, we are now picking the winner.

Hi everyone, My name is christel and Im a fantasy-holic. I am patiently waiting for the last book. I am not the sort to re-read books because for me the joy is in the mystery of the story unfolding. I also get sad when i finish a book. I am also waitng for the 3rd Book in Sara Douglass darkglass mountain trilogy. My library currently has no Donaldson, Eddings, Jordan (that i have not read). Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't even find Sanderson in the library. I am at a loose without a book. If you know of any good books please let me know. Thanks Christel

thios is gonna sound so damn nerdy, but what the hell lets say i wold someday go to DragonCon or something and i wanna have a "cool" costume, than it would be awesome looking like a Myrdraal. but i don't have the knowledge or willpower to make one myself, so i'm asking if there is anywhere i could get one or have one made that doesn't look like shit?

Just bought Hardcover Crossroads of twilight and Winter's Heart (amongst other things) over at barnes and nobles site for only 6 dollars ea. they are having a sale, not sure how long it would last so thought id register (never post just read on this site) and tell you guys if anyone wants to go from paperback versions to hardcover like im doing. Id link to the books but i don't want to look sketchy since i do have 1 post and understand if people dont want to trust me :S just google barnes and noble if you want to check it out i guess. and please dont make me sad by calling me advertiser or spammer :(

[sorry William and Salome, but I couldnt let this forum sit here untouched!] Welcome all to the land of the Tinkers! Come join us! Warm yourself by our fires and celebrate in dance and song! *strikes up a band and begins leading in a rendition of the Tiganza* Come on, everyone!! :D

Hello all, I'm sorry if this thread is in the wrong place, but I'm pretty new at DM and I do not pretend to know all about this forum. So, if a moderator finds that this is not adequate, please don't hesitate to deplace it. So coming to the point. I'm part of a French web site dedicated to fantasy (no, this is not some sort of advertisement) and we are organizing roughly every year some kind of tournament between heroes of fantasy (not only WoT). The working principle of the tournament is quite simple, we have a succession of duels where two characters confront each other. The winner is the one who has been voted for the most. This year Rand, the Drago…

I just recently got what appears to be a first edition of "A Crown of Swords" with Jordan's autograph on the title page. Any suggestions for how I can tell if the signature is real? Also, the book is a misprint that is missing one section of about 30 pages from the publisher. If it is genuine, any idea of value? Thanks

*the door falls shut* Hello, my good people, my good ladies *bows ever so deeply*, my good gentlemen *nods* I was looking for some certain...anime...that I once saw on- MTV -of all things. Already tried to do a "specific" google search looking for the one character I remembered of that series: Kamui. Plot was quite very nice, really, if simple and very, say, esoteric: "Normal" people get chosen for a struggle of the continuation or elimination of mankind, either for the greater good of the planet or so that our "species" might continue to exist. Telekinetic moves and flying around without wings included, for the combatants. And yes, the battle-f…

Random murders are happening amongst the members of the Warders Yard. A search is formed to track the killer down. Members of the Guard and Warders are in peril and many have come upon a body with their throat sliced. One Warder, Kwynric Gaidin, has been charged with finding out who the murderer is. He traverses each case and finds his suspect. She has the motive, but is she the right one? He found out the hard way that it’s not easy capturing his murderer, with the girl in custody the murders still raged on. But the Killer started getting careless, and was seen and nearly caught after the eigth murder. The ninth murder brings the murderer down and Jasine has been assigne…

Ok, the new Batman series is officially dead. http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0631354/ It seems that [glow=red,2,300]Eddie Murphy [/glow] will play the Riddler!?!? [glow=red,2,300]Shia LaBeof [/glow] as Robin!?!? Christian Bale and ALfred are back thankfully, but there would have to be some MAJOR acting improvement by the above actors to get a positive response from fans. I feel the series is now turning into the puff fluff of the earlier movies now.

This might very well be the wrong section, but since this will likely end up to be more than just a mere recommendation of the very best "free", "Korean" MMO that I've ever seen, I thought it would have its place here in the General Discussion board. If it should still be seen as unfitting here, dear mods: Feel free to move it to the place appropriate for it. ;) So, first, Atlantica Online...stupid name, true. But names of computer games don't necessarily tell much about them. See "Resident Evil", rofl. Of which the movies sucked. Either because the guy(s) doing them wanted to humiliate possible competition to Hollywood, let it look stupid or whatever. Maybe the "…

Brandon Sanderson has announced on his Blog that he is holding auctions for parts in a Memory of Light. You can silent auction to have a character to appear in the book named after you (name, description, personality, and you pick Nationality). Or you can contribute money and join a group dedicated to the WOT fans that will appear in during the Last Battle and other times in the book, and possibly have your name as one of the members.. The money raised goes to charity. You can find the article with all the details here I have already contributed :)

Firstly, I'd like to say what a hypocrite a particular moderator is on this board for deleting one of my posts. The post specifically was an offering from one fan of Robert Jordan to the rest of you for a unique opportunity to purchase books from my collection of rare hardcover books from THE WHEEL OF TIME. One of which was signed in person by Robert Jordan himself. I was told that this was "SPAM" and that I was not allowed to sell items, yet here I sit typing this email and see the "Dragonmount Book Store" on the left hand side of my screen for AMAZON. They don't even have these unique hardcovers in 1st edition / 1st print. Now, I belong to alot of forums, hunt…

OK i know this has nothing to do with WOT but i know that quite a few of you out there are programmers and web designers so i have a question for you: Im doing my final project for my A-Level computing course, in which i have to creat an online yearbook system using php mysql and the other obvious languages. but the only problem i have at the moment is that the admin staff want to be able to upload an excel spreadsheet with the student details onto a form which when submitted auto populates the members table with there details, so that it does not have to uploaded manually. So does anyone know of how to do this? i already know how to make the upload file field it…
