The "logging out" part may be normal because I had to clear the cache a few times and restart many services. It should be more stable now. Note to everyone: We'll be performing the forum upgrade soon. The board might go into maintenance mode during the upgrade. Thank you for your patience!

The display name history has disappeared. Not. According. To. Keikaku. *tries to hold in tears*

The Wiki's in maintenance mode it seems, when I click "Edit" in a random article, I get this message: Warning: The database has been locked for maintenance, so you will not be able to save your edits right now. You may wish to cut-n-paste the text into a text file and save it for later. The administrator who locked it offered this explanation: This wiki is currently in read-only mode due to maintenance. Thank you for your patience.

Because their parents are cruel people who let their children believe in blatant fantasies. jk jk What's "over 9000"?

My favorite book genre is fantasy/sci-fi. My least favorite is historical fiction or thriller (former because the covers always look dull, and latter because I think cinematographic effects work better for the genre). It's all in the opportunity cost :V

I think I've found the reason why the Phishing thingy happened: https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/02/analyzing-malicious-redirects-in-the-ip-board-cms.html I tried going to DCW through google and it redirected me to that URL4SHORT site thing and then when I tried doing it again, it didn't redirect me anymore. Same thing as what the article said. It's gone now btw since the DCW forum software was updated. It fixed the problem.

WHAT IS THIS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN LIKE THIS LOOKS SO SLEEK BUT WHAT I just decided to drop by and I'm met with this totally different DCW Forum. I had to check site addresses a few times to make sure I'm in the right place because, whoa, Maurice really revamped the place. I really like it, design-wise (yay minimalist), though I haven't done my fair share of exploring yet to comment on usage and stuff. (Wonder what else is missing? Friends list, for one. Are the signatures gone too? Is there a way to get those back? What's going to happen to the Rate Avatar/Sig Above You thread? WHY IS CHANGE SO OVERWHELMING??) (And Maurice, if you're reading this: thankyouthankyouthankyou for maintaining DCW even after all these years ) == EDIT: Observations so far: Old quotes, signatures are gone. New quotes work, but now it'll be harder to read through and understand old threads. Might be especially significant in the DC Anime/Manga discussions since they heavily utilize quotes. Oh man DCW looks so modern it's like seeing your baby all grown up okay this just got weird real fast The "All Activity" tab mashes together the old "New Content" and "Status Updates" wall. (I think this design is to accommodate for slower traffic?) Emoticons are automatic now Images are the same, though the buttons are on the button instead of the top and it's organized a bit differently. Now we have this "Attachments" feature. Haven't used it yet, though I'm thinking it makes it easier to pull up previously uploaded pics (Wordpress has a similar function.) The BBC code feature in the posting box isn't there anymore (or I can't find it). Idek what technologically clueless people like me are gonna do—I can't memorize codes for the life of me. I'm inclined to mention the Rep button looks very clickable. (I'm seriously tempted to go around repping a bunch of posts just for the satisfaction. Don't ask.) Avatars are circles now. Haven't quite figured out the changes made to profiles yet. Can't seem to find the repped content, bio, (some fields of) user info, etc. May just be me—I'll keep looking. There's a convenient "Create" button up top. I think there are less features in Settings? The top "Detective Conan World" header is linked to the forums instead of site home. No "HOT" labels, which I like. (Idek what the algorithm for that was, but it made no sense.) Less emphasis on unread threads, which I don't really like. Sometimes we need that extra pressure to click through all the threads and post. The design is modern and not quite minimalist like I'd said, but definitely far simpler than the old design. I can't say enough how much I love this new style, but I do miss some of the old graphics. No more "Moderators," "Top Users," "Highest Rep Content," etc. Again, I haven't fully explored everything yet, but I think a lot of less-used features were cut and the site has become more compact overall. Why do all the buttons look so clickable? I think that's enough for right now. TL;DR: whoa change
