Whew. That was a lot less comfortable than we were expecting and took a lot longer, but we made it. Welcome to the new server!

Demonland has left a trail of servers in it's wake over the years. How many is that now?

Shortly we will be migrating to an upgraded plan for the hosting of Demonland. We are hoping that this will alleviate the instances where Demonland has crashed alot recently. I won't bore you with the

No coincidence that the team averages victory by 100 points since we moved to the new server. This one appears to not have a habit of falling over whenever there’s a few hits at once either. Winn

Bloody door knocker.   Just threw a pineapple your way. Thanks to everyone involved in keeping the site running.

Thanks Nasher. Really appreciate all the work you and the other administrators put in.

Thanks. We really shouldn’t overlook the efforts Andy ( @Demonland) puts in either - we’ve both been stuffing about with this since early this morning to get it going. It takes a team to do this stuff!

This is number 6 that I can think of. This migration was nowhere near as painful for me as the previous one, which took several days. Hopefully the last for some time!

@Nasher @Demonland

It means it might be sending your password from you to the server in plain text instead of being encrypted - it increases your risk of having your Demonland account hacked from minuscule to minusculy less minuscule. Up to you whether you want to live with that (I am) - I’m 99% sure it’s always been that way anyway.

 So I should ignore those PMs from @Gorgoroth claiming to be Nigerian prince?

Was hoping this would go, I use my iPad on the site and whenever I open a new page a little Collingwood symbol appears at the top, next to the Demonland in the tabs at the top, has been this way for a while and presume you know about it, but pointing it out just in case

Actually, seems to have stopped

? 

It should be a Demon jumper logo but I'll check it out. Could you send a screenshot if possible?

I know it's only 24 hours but for me the site seems to be loading a lot faster.

Well done guys.

I see we are nearly half way to our donation target.... Come on let's keep this great site going

Site is definitely loading faster. 

Telstra Bigpond still hasn't caught up with the new server yet. My phone's 4G can access the site but not my home or work Telstra Bigpond accounts. 

Propagation can usually take 24 to 48 hours and Telstra is always the slowest of the ISPs. Also the most expensive. Go figure.

....just bumping this up again....

Andy has only received contributions of $1200 toward a target of $3k that has been spent to ensure that the site stays available for all of us. 

Every little bit helps, because otherwise it is out of his pocket and Nashers in terms of both $'s and time. 

Take out a subscription, or just find some loose change in the pocket. 

What would we do without Demonland?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
