In this future-year of 2008, sites like Facebook and Twitter are starting to become more popular, so The Dink Network is hitching its wagon to the social media train of progress. Our wagon will now go really fast! ... except our wooden spoked wheels aren't really suited for train tracks. And that might cause a wagon to fall apart. Hmm.

But, the main point is, The Dink Network how has a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/dinknetwork) and a Twitter account (https://www.twitter.com/dinknetwork). Thanks to the magic of RSS, these will hopefully be updated with news items as they are posted, like magic.

We also have an RSS feed which might not work that well! That's exciting.

It has been 1873 days since my last news post. Hi.

Redink's back, hooray!

Site updates and all, hooray!

Not that I use Facebook, Twitter or RSS, but hey

Edit: The new sidebar looks a little dodgy in Firefox: 1, 2

S-social media? Nooooooo!

I ain't never needed no wheels before, and I sure dun need 'em now!

...but it is nice to see the site receive some love-filled grooming after a while, nevertheless.

The only thing that is sorely lacking, I think, is a way to deal with someone like Skurn in a more effective manner; we're currently just deleting everything he posts, which kinda sucks.

I believe that the weird lurkers/social-media wrapping issue has been fixed, try hitting refresh. I had to update the css to fix it, and most browsers don't get the latest css on every page view.

Hi redink1, welcome back.

Quick question: are you going to enter a DMod in the current contest?

If it would be simpler, I could hand over the entire group to redink1 that I already made. I know nobody wants me to be the head of anything Dink related anyways, so, I could just give administration to him and drop to regular member level.

Yep, fixed

Anyone else with this issue still - clear your cache by doing a forced refresh (ctrl + F5 in FF) and that should do it.

Who posts on the Twitter account?

RSS is like the friendship that little ponies have with each other- magical. When a brand spanking new news post happens to be created on this site, the twitter automatically updates. Because that's how magic works. As redink1 says, Thanks to the magic of RSS, these will hopefully be updated with news items as they are posted, like magic.

I guess in a sense you could say Sparrowhawk updates the twitter since he's the one who usually posts the news items.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
...this is what happens when I don't have internet for a few weeks.

Maybe I should be without it more often.
