Got reputations back.

Many thanks for the tweaks and changes, Andy.

I've enjoyed reading the banter this thread has triggered.

    After most games we usually hit about 1000 plus people on at one time. 

    And even more after losses when the trolls come out from under their bridges

    love the Pistols references! 

    I was waiting for one of our WA posters to appear so I could go with "God Save McQueen".

    In my experience winning brings in more people to the site in general. Losing has less people (the diehards/tragics) on the site for longer periods drowning their sorrows.

    Fascinating. Thanks!

    I think the visitor numbers would have been very high in the Neeld days. I may be wrong but I reckon we got heaps of new posters around that time looking for a warm place to cry. Hogan trade was also high traffic. In fact trade period after poor season brings a lot of special types. 
     

    Btw I’ve been here so long I still remember when we moved to this server/domain? and I was one of the testers trialing out the new platform. I wonder how many of us still remain from those days and how many have stuck with their original screen name… what will I do if we win a flag??? ?

    I'm pretty sure I showed up on the old server around 2001/2(?) and remember the swap over, but thinking about that scares me a little!

    There are definitely a few familiar names still around. If we haven't gotten to Coach status or above in 20 years I guess we never will!

    It was definitely the reason I joined up. My rants on FB were starting to annoy my non Melbourne and non football following friends.

    I’m glad I hung around until brighter days came around. ☺️?

    My recollection was that our record days of usage were days in trade weeks in the 2008-2013 era, when we had nothing else going for us. But maybe that was just my own excitement.

    Pretty sure that’s why and when I jumped on. Wanted to see if anybody had any hope for any reason that the Dees might have a means or a way to come good. We’re never so happy as when planning for future happiness. One thing that’s absolutely for sure on here is that the humour quotient goes way up when the team is winning. May the humour reign! Great work Andy et al.

    Traditionally Draft Night (and the following day), particularly when we have picks in the Top 10 are our biggest days. Trade week is also a very busy time particularly if we are landing a big fish or offloading someone. Post game is when we've traditionally had issues with the integrity of the server load because so many people are jumping on all at once.

    Thank you to all the monetary contributors to Demonland who have assisted us over the years. It has allowed us to beef up the computing power of the hamsters running the wheels that keep us online after a loss to a bottom 8 team.

    Yeah I think that October 2005 date was when Nasher(?) transferred to the new server. You're right - scary thought!

    I've been posting on this platform for 16 years and I will still need to more than double my post count to make the next level of Captain.

    I tip my hat to anyone who makes it to the Premier level without being banned for spamming.

    I promise if we win a flag I will do my best to spam this site so hard with emotional crying gifs that I will both make the captain rank and be banned simultaneously.

    I'll exit on a high! 

     

    Edit: speaking of gifs, what happened to the function of being able to insert one into your posts?

    Possibly something that was taken away during the software update. I'll check in the settings. It wasn't something that I removed so if it is gone they might have taken it away intentionally.

    I seem to recall the site being ultra-busy the day it was rumoured and subsequently announced that Paul Roos would be appointed as coach. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the busiest day ever on the site.

    Followed the next day by people asking if the salt from their tears was affecting their posts because their keyboards had started to corrode.

    Of course any big announcements or news (such as the passing of Jimmy Stynes) are big days on Demonland.

    just an observation

    we measure number of posts but not volume of text in posts

    some posters are notorious for humongous walls of text often to just to make a simple point

    worse, some manage these walls of text with no punctuation or paragraphs

    at least we don't have anymore one particular poster who managed to grossly mix up constant changes of font, font size, colour and other highlighting all in the one sentence

    I had ignored the ignore function until last week, but finally used it to clear out the “sky is falling” posters.

    Thanks for this function, should have used it years ago!

    Ah yes the day Nasher had a shower and we got Paul Roos. A good day for all.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
