So, I heard that Ty said we have a Hall because there was drama from people switching groups to intentionally cause drama, and I know for a fact that that isn't the case since the Hall predated the Creation of MDD by about 2 years, and our very first group change (@Arisaema Draconis from Blue to...

Congratulations to our new Gatekeepers - @Ilverin Matriam and @Ahmyra al'Ruley! This was actually a really hard decision, and I really appreciate everyone that applied. In the past, we have received a smaller number of applications for most positions on the tech team, so it was a truly...

Barmacral has served the tower for an extended period as one of the Gatekeepers. Many of the early functions are the same or similar between the Gatekeepers and the Front End MotW, so this is an excellent transition as it will help ensure we utilize his experience and get to train new people...

Hello folks, I need to take the site down for a bit tomorrow night, April 3rd, 2019, starting around 10 PM EDT to perform some much-needed maintenance. It could take up to an hour, though I'm hoping for it to be shorter. I'll try to make it as minimally invasive as possible, meaning you may...

Is anyone else having this problem?

Please join me in congratulating the newest member of SDS. Azi al'Thone has given much of his free time to improve the Tower. He's a fun, vibrant individual, who throws himself into everything to make things more fun for others, and to help carry more than his share of the load. Quite fine...

There's always hope for you old-timers around on the boards. I've met Locus at several real life events, and he put the Tower first. He competed in Project Gaidin, has shown up beyond expectations in many ways. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long. Congratulations, Locus Sarania, Gaidin...

Proving that post count isn't everything, Paderic has shown his love of the Tower in many ways. During his time competing in Project Gaidin, he put out top notch effort despite serious real life obligations. He helps out at real life events without pause, and genuinely deserves this title...
