Site
We're going to try an experiment for the next couple weeks here. The idea behind this event is that anyone who knows they will/might be on and looking to do some 5-man runs on a given night, will sign up and maybe post regarding which instances they are most interested in.
Here's the key: Check this event BEFORE YOU EVEN LOG IN to see who else you should be contacting about filling your 5-mans. This event is open to all guildies, guild-apps, friends in other guilds, or even people who have seen the site and just want to get to know some Downfall folks. Try to spread the word as the success of this idea will depend on it's being used actively by as many people as possible.

Downfall Analytics
garreth — Wed, 05/07/2008 - 13:56
Ever wonder what people search for to find our site? Well, it's a little of what you expect and a little bit disturbing.
This is the Google Analytics report of our previous month of operation. This report shows us everyone that found our site via a search engine search, and then what they did once on the site. Apparently, everyone has a massive e-boner for Katibug. And Tankard -- which comes as no surprise. He's sexy.
People that found us as a result of a search engine search:
- Visited 4.6 pages on average once they were here
- Spent 6 minutes farting around on the site
- Half of all people that arrived via a search engine search left immediately ("bounce rate")
- One third of all our traffic comes from search engine results
- Apparently a lot of people search for lemonn and crossgrip, which is weird
- And apparently a few people found us while looking for anti-depression medications
Anyhoo, just thought I'd share with you all a little of what goes on behind the scenes :)
Guild Bank

The Downfall Guild Bank is split up into 5 tabs for now:
- Raw Mats
- Lock Down
- Consumables
- Shinzmom
- Raid Mats
Various ranks in the guild have access to deposit into different tabs, we ask that you please deposit ONLY the following items into each tab.
- Raw Mats - Ore, herbs, leathers, metal bars, cloth, uncut gems, and all worthwhile profession materials that cannot be simply purchased from a vendor.
- Lock Down - Only a few guild ranks can deposit into this tab. This is where we put high level materials and items that should not be simply open to anyone to take out like BT gems, primals and motes.
- Consumables - All pots, cooked & raw meat/fish, high-level scrolls (Spirit, Strength, Agility and Protection ONLY please), and flasks
- Shinzmom - All the other odds and ends. Please don't deposit grey items no one will use or can simply buy from a vendor. This is a good place for quest items, BoE blues, magic resistance greens, etc.
- Raid Mats - Primals, repair bots, shadow resist mats, high level consumables and other odds and ends used for raiding.
Help us out and make sure that we keep this thing organized. Let me know if you're having any trouble depositing or withdrawing at any time.
Repair/Withdrawal Gold: At the time of this post, all guildies ranked at "Balla" have up to 35g to use for repairs or withdrawal daily. Use at your own discretion, though it is HIGHLY encouraged that core raiders please use this feature to pay for raid repairs. Raiding costs a lot of money as it is, please allow the guild to help cover some of the costs of progression.

This site is ridiculously configurable to each user's tastes. That includes how comments are viewed. You don't have to just stick with what the site is preconfigured to show you.
At the very bottom of the replies to a post, right above the area to post a response, you'll have some drop down boxes.
Try this combination for fun: Threaded List -Expanded, Date - Newest First, 30 comments per page.
Explanation: Now all the new replies to a topic will be right under the original post (no more having to go back many pages of replies). It essentially shows you replies from the bottom UP instead of the top down. Threaded list expanded means that when you directly reply to a post, it shows as indented under the comment that you are replying to. I like 30 comments per page: it's just enough.
Have fun, experiment, give each configuration a shot!

Connecting to IRC, is most likely easiest through this method. It's as simple as:
- Go to mibbit.com
- Enter the server name, your username, password if you wish and the channel name.
- BAM! You are connected.
This method will open up a chat client on a web page. If you are like me and need to be discreet at work, this may not be the best option for you. (see Pidgin or Trillian)
