Finally......DXX has come back!
Welcome back folks. I won't take up too much of your valuable time here, but just a quick message to say thank you all for your patience and support during the three years since we last all saw each other in our community.
I know most of you will have thought "what? He announced the place as coming back in April - why the hell have we had to wait until July for it?" The basic answer is, due to different commitments, I have not been spending 100% of my time setting the place up - but once I really started to see some progress, it's come on quickly.
I always said we wouldn't come back before V5 launched - but damn, I missed the place. Assy did too. Once the teaser video was done, and released, we set to work on the new site - a "secret" test site that seemingly was almost instantly found by the world and his mother. Top marks for secrecy there McMahon.
But in any case, a few days after the vid was released Proboards announced that V5 would be rolled out before the end of the year - so naturally that was the date I originally had in mind. A bit of fiddling about here and there with coding ensued. But then, as soon as things started taking shape and the big work started getting done, Assy suggested rather than just sitting on the place for a few weeks we bring the release forward a bit and get right back into it. Great suggestion.
Once the place was almost done, I set up the countdown. The last week has seen alot more work go into the place, and some of the good old fashioned tiny issues that turned into major headaches, but I feel we are just about there.
That said, if you do have any issues, be it aesthetic-wise, technical, or anything at all really - please let us know and we will endeavour to help this community regain it's former glory.
Everyone is welcome - be they new members, old members, and even members who were banned. As long as people stick to the rules, and don't try any funny business, there is no reason they will get re-banned whatsoever - hopefully it is a clean slate for one and all.
Get stuck in and enjoy it. There's some new stuff here already, and more we'll be looking to add in the coming weeks and months as we continue to (hopefully) grow.
Finally, I will leave you five simple words that sum up my feelings on this day. The day DXX finally woke up, roared a battle cry to the rest of the haters of this world and finally rose from the ashes.
Sorry it's taken so long.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy.
