The PDB Admin Blog

So, you all might be wondering what we're working on next for the PDB. If so, this is the place to look. Also the goal of this page is to have a place where all the admins can easily leave messages for one another, instead of having to look through everyone's edit history to find things that they'd like comments upon.



10-08-13: In recent days, we mods have been in a discussion regarding the Page of the Month program. We know that PotM is something that the PDb community like to participate in, but we are looking into the possibility of changing how it is run for 2014 and beyond-- based on some of the trends that we have been seeing in the last few rounds of voting.

Between the four of us, our opinions of the situation have made it difficult to come to a unified conclusion, so this is where (hopefully) you Users can come in. What do you think of the current state of PotM? If you have any comments or suggestions about this matter, be sure to leave a message on the Discussion page! And play nice about it, too! --Δ Epelesker (talk) 12:19, 8 October 2013 (MST)


09-27-13: Greetings! It seems that the edit bug related to external links has slowed down (or disappeared). Of course, we mods invite anyone who is having issues with PDb to let us know so we can get things back to working order as soon as possible! We must always be vigilant!

Since finishing the main tutorial page (though I'm still finding bits and pieces to add to it), I've personally been making an attempt to update our site guidelines: taking out info that's less relevant now and emphasizing important points. The drafing process has been slow going due to various reasons, but when all is done it's my intent that these new "rules" will be easy to understand and follow for everyone. (EDIT: The work is being done off-site and privately for now, but it will be looked over by the rest of the mods when I'm done.)

Have a good weekend, heroes (and villains)! -- Δ Epelesker (talk) 11:43, 27 September 2013 (MST)


09-25-13: We're looking into the cause of page edits basically failing to work. It's not affecting everyone nor does there seem to really be a rhyme or reason why it's not working. But we'll figure out why. -- Destructor (talk) 17:32, 25 September 2013 (MST)


09-24-13: The creation of this page, along with a Donate button on the lower left. I know said donate button might make some people unhappy, but I've had people ask me how they can donate to the PDB's upkeep costs and such, so I figured it was time to look into it.

That said - the PDB will remain completely and totally free for EVERYONE to use no matter if you pay for it or not. There will be absolutely NO benefits to ANYONE who decides to pay for the site (short of maybe a thank you page somewhere if it comes to it), and people who do not donate will NOT be frowned upon in ANY way. It does not matter to me if I see anybody donate or not - this site is a labor of love and this is why I took the steps needed (with help of my friend who knows web hosting more than I do and the wonderful mods who help keep this place running great) to get it back up as soon as I possibly could.

So again - donate if you wish. It does not matter to me if you do. If you do, I thank you. If you do not, I thank you. Either way, just keep on posting your characters. That's what I want to see most. -- Destructor (talk) 09:44, 24 September 2013 (MST)



Mods: Yes, this is sort of a very plain page right now. But I wanted to get it up and running to explain some things, as well as making it easier for all of us to talk to one another. One central location for our thoughts about changing core pages might be much more visible than keeping track of all of our individual areas. As always though, you can click on 'Email This User' under our own User pages (shortcut here) if you need to get in touch with me directly. Also you all have my Cryptic info, and I'm pretty much always logged into there if I'm awake. -- Destructor (talk) 09:55, 24 September 2013 (MST)
