As most folks by now know, we have been in the process of moving our website onto our own server with a lot more room and bandwidth. This process is, for the most part, now complete. The result should be noticeable in a much faster page response in our forums, website and better TS connections for large numbers of folks online.
The Teamspeak server is located at teamspeak.darkenbane.com for those utilizing our TS server. Instructions for installing and using our TS server can be found here. (http://forums.darkenbane.com/announcement.php?f=37) We are currently waiting for the World of Warcraft beta, but DBers and many friends are using the TS server to play other games such as UT2K4, PS, KO, BF1942, CS and even games like Chess :D. For the time being, we will allow unregistered folks to join our TS server to ask a server admin to approve them. Once WoW begins, however, our TS server will be reserved for registered users only.
Members of DB will also enjoy some perks when they login to the website. Along with our renowned pic upload system (which formats and allows for uploading of pictures for members), is now added a ....this section has been edited as our attorney's have yanked my tongue out and broken all of my fingers saying it's none of your damn business what we have in our private areas. Goddamn lawyers..... For those folks who do not yet have access to these utilities, please contact me via PM on the forums ONLY and supply me with your desired username/pw.
With the new increased performance of our own web server as well as DB's independence of any outside interference, we are now solely run and operated by Darkenbane members. This means that anything we do will not be muted or influenced by fear of doing something which offends someone not even part of the organization. The downside to this, is the financial burden now falls completely on the shoulders of the community. DB members are actively contributing to maintain the website and will continue to do so. A page of the site will be set aside in the future honoring those who have contributed. Any non DBers (those who do not have access to the private forums, but still use the site for TS or general goofing around) are also welcome to contribute and will have their names added to the sponsor list. Contributions can be sent via paypal to grayrage@hotmail.com. Other means of payment can be obtained by emailing grayrage@darkenbane.com or Private Messaging Grayrage via our forum system. The funds we collect are meticulously tracked and will be used to pay for the site and possibly a RL gathering in the future. The private forum presently has a balance sheet which tracks all incoming funds as well as payments that are guild related.
