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.

It's ultra quick because there aren't many people here yet. The real test will be once the masses are back and also once there is major announcement during Trade month.

Sharp work there Nasher :)

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.

our internet downloads have run out for the month, so it is back to dial up speed, but this is still loading pretty much instantly :) great work

Hi and thanks. Still no home page and only on site2 assume its still loading

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 message when I log on to the site is a bit misleading.

It tells me to try again in a hour but then when I clicked on the link below the message I got on straight away.

Otherwise, we're moving back at the old faster pace.

Thanks.

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
