The “Old†Forums When we first opened the new forums (forums.dragonmount.com) we promised time to backup the your important posts on the old forums. You’ll still have the opportunity to do that - my apologies for making the transition so rapidly without giving people warning. As soon as I am able to make the old forums public and read-only (so [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/News/?p=315

…in this beautiful game. Or rather a thousand of secrets wrapped in a hundred thousand of mysteries. I think, everybody who likes challenging puzzle games will find here tasks to their liking. After solving almost half of the levels I believe it’s time for me to introduce other DM members to this great game. http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/index.html

I posted a new story tonight over in the Wagons of the Tuatha'an. I don't think that they would mind if you look it over. Please keep your posts civil and with respect to the Way of the Leaf. It might also be appropriate to thank them for their hospitality. ENJOY! P.S. If you really feel a strong desire to spam the piece, please feel free to give me your best shot over in Fiddlesticks where I spend most of my enjoyment time. ;D

I'm so excited! For months now I've been drueling over the Peavey ValveKing tube amp. I took both of my good electric guitars to the music store and tried them in the display models. Both sounded good through the 2 - 12" speaker model and through the head with 4 - 12" speakers "half stack". I had just about decided to keep saving cigarette money until I had the $1000 for the half stack. Until this weekend. The 212 amp usually runs just under $600 to just over that depending on the sale. Then shipping kicks it up some more. That's why I was thinking that the $1000 counting tax would be worth the wait. Well, Saturday I stopped in to the music store and ther…

H'all, I was wondering if anyone knows any site that has WoT merchandise, like shirts, wallpaper and so forth ???

I posted this over on the old boards too. Don't know which we're supposed to be using. Some people are still posting in the old boards as if the new ones don't exist. I honestly don't think they realize the new ones exist. Will there come a time that the new boards will take over? Or will there continue to be dual boards? There's probably a post somewhere that would explain all of this to me but I haven't stumbled onto it in oldland or newland. Which are we supposed to use? :-\

I don't know what's different. I couldn't see avatars a few hours ago. Then I couldn't log on for a while. Now I can see avatars and sigys. THANK YOU!!! It's like going from black and white TV to color!!!

New forums now online As many of you have already seen, Dragonmount has a new set of forums online. You can find them at forums.dragonmount.com. The old phpBB forums were being over-run by spam and many of the features that you, the members of the DM community, had asked for were not possible with those. So we have [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=66

Seanchan Updates Hello good people of Dragonmount. I have a few updates from the Seanchan organization I thought I would share with you. As you may or may not be aware of, this past weekend marks the opening of the much anticipated Simpson movie. Due to the high number of Simpson nerds, we are honoring the [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=64

I must say I like the new boards. But how is it I didn't know!!!! I've not been able to get on as much lately due to having to share the internet with my 14 yr old who lives on myspace, so I guess I missed what was going on and I was wondering why I was the only one showing up on the members on list at the bottom of the main page. But I like the new set up it is way [shadow=red,left]cool[/shadow]. 8) I am so happy that I have found everyone again. ;D

GRRM read the prologue at an Indianapolis Con. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?showtopic=20518&st=20

One of the reasons why science fiction seems to be dying compared to fantasy, which has never been in ruder health, seems to be the fact that a lot of SF has problems delivering in the good-old fashioned storytelling stakes, instead getting bogged down in technical discussions about AI and advanced string theory which the average reader doesn't really care about. Over the past fifteen years Peter F. Hamilton has risen to become the UK's biggest-selling SF writer and is now making waves in the USA as well. He does this by combining excellent storytelling skills (of the sort more commonly employed in good epic fantasy) with a good grasp on modern scientific concepts and…

Latest Music News from the Band of the Red Hand ORG Since the Band of the Red Hand is DM’s very own Music ORG, it is important that regular and interesting music discussions are available for both Banders and DMers alike. Therefore, with the move to new boards, there has been a sudden increase in the number of music orientated threads which are open to you [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=62

No, not the conquest of the Seanchan continent by Artur Hawking's descendants. I'm talking about moving the offsite boards onto DM. I know there are a ton of rumors flying around currently and there are many people that aren't thrilled with this move. So lets talk about it. What are your questions?

So, whacha got? Some uber photoshopped wallpaper you spent thousands of hours on making pwnsome? something someone else did the same for and you used? So random image found on google? (which is probably what most people have) Whatever you gots, show it off here! Mine at the moment. Made it myself. I think you all recognize the original image ;)

Breaking Dragonmount Warning As soon as I get confirmation (which could be a day or two before I can get back to this) I will be making a major change to the dragonmount theme that will hopefully remedy some of the loading issues as well as the theme on the new boards. However in doing so I cannot say [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/News/?p=313

EuroMeet 2007 a Success! This past weekend, a group of DMers revived one of our proudest traditions….EUROMEET! This event took place in London, England in the Notting Hill area. Niamh Sedai, the Head of the Blue Ajah Community at Dragonmount sent us this report: Euromeet. It has been many a year since Dragonmount has heard that word (on the [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=61

Usegroups are now fuctioning well and each org should now have sign up threads on their boards, or will shortly. You will need to let them know you want to join and they or one of their staff will add you to their usergroup so you can see their private boards. Mat

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass leaving memories that become legend, then fade to myth, and are long forgot when that Age comes again. In one Age, called the Fourth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past a wind rose in the Tower named the White tower. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But this was A new turn Guys i've made a new RP site it only has The White Tower so far because starting with too mant factions is always a problems because you have so may open places, so i've started with the white tower theres a list of openings and anyone who has any skill in…

As soon as I get confirmation (which could be a day or two before I can get back to this) I will be making a major change to the dragonmount theme that will hopefully remedy some of the loading issues as well as the theme on the new boards. However in doing so I cannot say will be an easy fix and I might have to fix things. If I cannot fix things at the time they break (ie: my kids need my attention) I will replace the old files to what they were so you won't have to deal with it. But during the next few days DM might look weird or might break completely. Mat

so i was reading the other night and a sudden thought hit me. if a power wrot sword dosentr ever need to be sharpend, and is more or less in destructible, what not make your armor out of it. assedi could make it without viloating three oaths as it isent for killing. heak make it out of colendar (sp?). imagin the last battle,,,,,, millions of trollucks swarming up the hill, a thousand knights are all that stand between them and the other side of tarwins gap. but whats this? they are all in caledar chain mail from head to toe. trollock swords break as the glance off power wrot shiealds, mydrall are frustrated by not being able to pirce brest plates. meanwhile our indis…

This is just a reminder that the Dragonmount Short Story Anthology Deadline for submissions is August 31. Please send all submissions to dm.anthology@gmail.com with the subject of Short Story in it. Make sure you include your real name, the pen name you are using if applicable. Mat

You see what we are about down below, now I ask you, what are your interests? Most everyone has some interest that resides in the creative aspect of life. If you don't fit into the "most" then you are still welcome, everyone should be able to appreciate some sort of creative effort whether its from reading a book or watching a movie. We are asking you what are your interests? Do you wonder how to create a movie or the stunning special affects in them? Or how a person writes a character you feel in depth with? Can you do any of these things whether or not you beleive you are good at them does not matter. I'm trying to find topics that one of our four cha…

I know that adding members to new usergroups isn't possible yet for us, and you all don't have time... Do you have any idea on a timeline of when we'll be able to do this? (Specifically, usergroup admins being able to add users to the usergroup, and also when you'll have enough time that we can request you make a new one)
