All,

The site will go offline shortly ready for me to pack it up in to moving boxes and ship it from Japan back to sunny Melbourne. She'll be home in an hour or two.

Don't you wish you could pack up and move house that quickly?

This should solve the problem of the site failing to cope under any sort of load.

    Nasher, seems ultra quick now which is brilliant. Only concern is there is no 'home' page.. Will this eventually change? I like where topics from both FAFFJH and the Melbourne section come up together..

    Yes, this will fix once the demonland.com transfer takes place. Should only be a few hours.

    If you're using the site2 address, remember to check back to normal demonland.com address every now and again.

    I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that Nasher really is the backbone to this site. The work he does behind the scenes is invaluable not to mention that it takes him away from his family.

    I want to put together some money to pass along to him so if you would like to contribute you can do so in two ways.

    You can take out a Demonland subscription here: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/subscriptions/

    Or if you already have a subscription you can donate here: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/donate/

    Cheers for all the work you put in Nasher.

    I had a bit of trouble trying to log in, took me multiple attempts to finally get on. Changing pages seems to log me out as well, not sure if anyone else is experiencing issues like this. I'm using site2 address at the moment because demonland.com is still down for me so perhaps that's the issue?

    That should resolve itself in the next few hours.

    When you click on the Home button it is sending you to Demonland.com and because your ISP hasn't updated it's DNS records (read the article I linked above for a laymans explanation) it is still pointing to the site on the old server.

    The site2.demonland.com/forums is forcing your ISP (Telstra, Optus etc) to take you to the new server.

    When you click the Home button in the top left corner it is taking you to demonland.com and because your ISP hasn't updated yet it is taking you to the old server. This should update with 24 hours. You will know it has when you click the Home link and you see the DEMONLAND homepage or when you type in demonland.com and you see the standard homepage and not the site2 link.

    Please don't bookmark or continue using the site2 link once the Home button takes you back to the standard Homepage.

    The biggest culprit in slow DNS propagation is Telstra Bigpond.

    i'm not sure that isps have any control over this demonland because its an automatic process

    bigpond might seem to take longer because they are the biggest isp and therefore have the most dns servers to be updated

    They do have control over it, it's up to them how often they refresh and so on. My Telstra phone is taking ages to see the new site, but my iinet home account saw it an hour or so later.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
