URGENT ATTENTION: New Software Will Necessitate New Login Requirement

A major software update to the website is coming

This software update will require all users to log in using their registered email address instead of their username whenever they are logged out. 

This is simply a login requirement—your email address will remain private. Once you're logged in, you won’t need to log in again unless you log out or access the site from a new device.

Going forward any time that you have to log in to Demonland you will have to use the email address that is registered to Demonland to log in rather than using your Username which has been the way you have logged in in the past.

This change appears to be a security measure as part of the new major software update and not something I’ve personally chosen.

Most website functions will remain the same, though there will be some cosmetic updates. Initially, all customizations (such as colors and the look and feel of the site) will revert to the default look, but I’ll gradually restore most of them them over time.

Additionally, some third-party add-ons I’ve implemented over the years will no longer work immediately after the update. The site will essentially start fresh in that regard, and I’ll reintroduce features as I go.

The most important thing is that all content will still be there and you will be able to post as normal which is the main feature of the site. All the rest is just cosmetic which I will play around with once the new software is installed.

To be clear all the past posting history will remain the website might just look and feel slightly different but basic functionality of the message board format will remain.

This upgrade is necessary because the current software will no longer be supported and the new software may bring some other improvements and features over time.

To ensure a smooth transition, please make sure your email address is up to date—this is important in case you ever need to recover your account.

When updating your email address in your profile you will probably be required to validate your new email address. If a validation email does not arrive in your inbox then please check your junk folder as it might have ended up there. If the email is not in your junk folder then please contact me and I will manually change it for you.

Please attempt to change it yourself before messaging me to assist.

I don't have a timeframe for the installation of the new software as I am waiting to hear back from @Nasher to assist me in this process as the initial installation isn't just a software update like on your phone. It requires the technical magic that only @Nasher can provide. Future incremental updates will be easier.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we enter the 25th year of Demonland.

    If you are logged in, from the menu (top right 3-line icon on a phone, go to "Account", then select "Account Settings". You'll see an option to change your email. The validation email is sent to the new address so you don't need to access your old address.

    This is a good time to thank Andy, Nasher and everyone else who makes this site run so smoothly.

    I couldn’t agree more LDC.  It’s far too easy to take this wonderful site for granted, and to ignore the enormous effort that it takes by a plethora of people, to keep it up and going.  As an interstate member, Demonland is my lifeline to the real world of the MFC and the AFL.

    Thanks Andy (and Nasher, et al) for keeping this site up and running for all this time. I recently did an online survey that asked me if I was still a member of any non-Reddit/social media/Facebook forum (you know, the kind everyone was a part of back in the good old days before the internet took a turn for the worse). I was proud to answer "YES!" thanks to this site.

    For those wanting to check their profile to confirm their email is right, you should be able to follow this link to make the required change:

    This October will also be 20 years on the Invision platform too. Or more to the point, 20 years since my 21 year old self, 6 months in to an IT career, somehow convinced you and Finks that I knew what I was talking about enough to set up and run a system like this one.

    It’s been a journey!

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
