Just a word of warning to any joint Demonland and Demonology members, particularly if you share the same username and password, please change your password on this site. You can do that by going into your profile. PM me if you need assistance.

Your passwords on Demonology might not be encrypted. All passwords on Demonland are encrypted. It would be prudent to change them here to avoid your account being hijacked.

This is just a precaution and not based on anything else.

 

Well i can't log on to ology, my password is now invalid.

Interesting.

Is there a way of logging on to create a new password?
 

I just had a telephone call with Tim.

Tim is certainly dealing with some long term health issues but there is light at the end of the tunnel with what he hopes is now a proper diagnosis.

In terms of Demonology, George on the outer, introduced Gareth [censored], who has registered the DNS. They offered Tim money to take over the site, to which Tim declined, he has however handed the site over to Gareth in an effort to see it continue. Tim says he is happy with his decision to hand it over but not so with the consternation that has taken place, he intends to speak with the new owners in an effort to calm things down but is adamant it is the decision chose and continues to support.

He is unhappy with the fact Gsmith has been ostracized and will be looking into the matter.

I fear we have no other option.

My suggestion is to change your password on Demonland.

thanks. Will look into it when i get home...

Did Tim know Gareth was Dr Who's brother?

Michael has directly named you as the person in charge of the takeover.

That would would a libel case, would it not?

done - thanks again

Instructions on changing you password on Demonland (Note you only need to do this if you share the same username and password on Demonland and Demonology)

Click on your Username at the top of the page on the right hand side.

A box with drop down with further options.

Click on My Settings and a new page will open up.

On the left hand side is an option to change Email and Password.

Click Email and Password and change your password and click Save.

After 8 years, and 10,000 posts, I won't go on the site again whilst these blokes have the keys.

quickest way to kill them off is to ignore them. Its a travesty that so many great threads and data will be lost, but so be it.

I rarely post there any more, but what a chitty end to what was once an excellent footy forum.

What a couple of geeky losers.

I'm Dnic both here and there. I've posted more often there, as it was the first MFC fan forum I found.

I've just logged in and changed my password details, the site seem to be running fine.

Whilst the vast majority of my contributions are the drivel from a [censored], I enjoyed (the old) "ology forum at least giving supporters an outlet to for an independent voice and critique on the club.

"Taking over" the site under the guise of being an arm of the club is underhanded and unwelcome.

Nobody over the age 8 just wants an 24/7 "go dees 4 eva' hit parade. Might as well put "Whiteboard Wednesdays" on high rotation.


I think you will find out that the takeover is money orientated.

Every time you click on Ology they make a cent or two.

IMO the takeover is illegal without the membership being involved.

A funny thing has happened; ever since the takeover I now have google pop ups appearing every time I do a search.

I believe they are spamming my computer and using other members info for their own purposes.

I will wait a bit to see what happens and then lodge a complaint with the club and the privacy commissioner.

I just wish to find out the motives of those who have taken over ology?

What do they wish to actually do?

If it is to destabalize the club the site should be boycotted by all and shut down.

We are all MFC Supporters

The Finale of Breaking Bad is far more exciting.

And so do I.

It seems to me that the new ownership believe that their site should exist to support the club and, in order to so, there should be no negative content.

If that's the case, its a misguided view which will ultimately become self-defeating. It's a forum and its users go to express their views there on a regular basis - it's part of their lives and shouldn't be taken away from them.

There are moves afoot to restore Demonology to what it was before yesterday. As a Demonology member, I support them.

In addition to changing your password on this site, I think it is prudent to also change your active email address on Demonology (I just used a bogus one) to prevent any unwanted contact from those grubs.

Did Tim know Gareth was Dr Who's brother?

I spoke with him about Dr Who being involved, he doesn't know the handle as he hasn't been onto Demonology. He did say Gareth was the person that he handed the site over to.


And I can no longer log in.

Cowards.

Judee is involved and lectures all on manners, while in bed with Dr Who, the worst behaved poster ever. These people have no shame

Are you suggesting Judee is involved in the takeover as well? So that makes, George On the Outer, Judee, Nineteen and the [censored]'s?

Well it will be an exciting place if no members can log on.

What is the point??

If these scammers are making money each time there is a hit on the site does it not make sense to GROW YOUR NUMBERS....

looking at recent posts there, I would say judee definatley on the "dark side"

Just had my first post removed on demonology, which had nothing offensive in it...

will keep my email the same on ology atm, i want to see what crap i get from them, adds to the arsenal of information for the counterattack to free ology up again...

Don't think that will help if you are a MFC member. They are part of the membership telemarketing group, so I assume they have access to all members details.

So what you're saying is if they have beef with a certain poster then they could cross reference a posters email address from the Demonology database and the MFC Membership database and potentially get access to all your private details such as name and address, credit card info etc? This is very worrying.

    The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
