howdy doo.. If you would like, I could set up a section for all of that here..

more to the point You can even be moderator of it if you like. You've put so much effort into this site already it's only fair you have your own little space on it.

It's actually Christophe's download link, as far as I know he is updating the main Encycopoedia very very soon and will be including an upload area for dungeons.
Damn, if only I'd held off I could have had my own little section sigh

What I have been thinking recently is that there needs to be a very very simple Hub site...one that would point links to all 5 DM forum sites that currently exist, and also has a daily running tally of any news -site updates, new dungeons, progress in clones, etc. Push that onto any search engines so that anyone looking for DM wouldn't get odd scattered links from games reiewers or only one of the sites, but would get that Hub site first, and so all the curent DM sites right now.

New File shares

Post by ChristopheF »

A new "File shares" page is available on the DM & CSB Encyclopaedia. There, you can upload and download files to share them with others.

I uploaded all the DMuted dungeons and tools that were present on the freedrive account before it was closed. Thansk to Beowuuf for sending me all the files.

Here is the URL:
http://dmwebshare.free.fr/

I hope you'll like it... Tell me!

I'm not on the search engines

Post by cowsmanaut »

It costs money to be in those.. something I have none of.

I mean I can set up something like that but I can't afford to place it in any search engines..

wow, it's been awile

Last time I put a site onto the web you could enter your pages onto some of the best search engines for free!
It was just an observation anyway, with more people being drawn into DM (especially through DMJ) it's sad that they all seem to be split over the various sites. Daniel's BBS is definitely missed!

Search engine listings are free

Post by Gambit37 »

All search engine listings are free. It's only 'bulk' services that charge, and those are generally a rip off anyway. Over time, you should find that your site gets listed automatically anyway, but it is a much better idea to manually add it to the most popular search engine: Google, Lycos, Altavista, HotBot, Yahoo etc.

Note that submitting to yahoo and getting a good rank is notorioualy hard, and you have no guarantee that your site will added as it's one of the few search catalogues that uses real people to review sites before they are added to the listings.

Well, it's been a while since I checked the search engine submission forms, but I'm certain they never charge. They shouldn't be!

Which ones have you looked at?

Only three, but they are free, as should all search engines. Look for similar pages on other search engines sites - check all the links for 'Add site to this index' or 'Add URL' buttons, sometimes they are small, but they are there!
