Welcome to TIDMADT

AS most of you can tell, I have been putting in a LOT of work trying to get the site up and running. Even when you can’t see it, I add functionality every day!

Yesterday, I decided to restyle the blog so it would have the same look and feel as the forum section. It’s almost complete! Once I have done this, we will be able to update the content much easier, as I am going to pull the information from the front page out of the blog postings.

Why have a blog at all? Well… there are a lot of differences between a blog and a forum. Forums are conversations, a back and forth discussion between clan members. Blogs are more for passing information on from the admins to the members, and is a permanent archive of things that have gone on.

I’ll give you an example from World of Tanks… every time you boot up your client, you get a list of links called “News from the front”. The latest one (today) was Blog: World of Tanks @ Gamescom. Day 4.  There is a link to “read the full article”, but if you try to leave a comment, it takes you to the forum area where people can discuss the event.

So that’s it… this is basically a news room, and we will be posting articles in here about what’s going on, changes to the board, new additions and events… hopefully you will enjoy all the hard work we are putting in.

I do want to take a moment, while I have you all here, to publicly thank the rest of the admins (Bonestriker, Wilso, DevilDog, Shadow, Lorna… and I’m mocs, of course) for all the hard work they have been putting in.  And I want to thank all our users who are working with us as we bring this site up, who are helping with suggestions and comments, actively posting in the forums, and putting up with a little sawdust as we finish construction.  Without you, our wonderful members, this site would be nothing :)

So… without further ado, GAME ON!
