Hey Members 
We have been working towards a few changes, which will help make DLO look neater, and make it easier for us all to find certain threads etc. This will be an ongoing and tedious task, and there are a few things we would like the members to do to help out also.
POSTING: There is so much double posting/thread starting going on, which is really unnecessary. What we ask of you is that you only post an article ONCE. If you have found an article on Damien and you think it could also go into another thread as well, then one of the Moderators (Neski, Carla, Braffy or myself) will start a new thread in the relevant area and lock that thread, so that we just have the article as a read only thread and will link it back to the original posting thread. If there is no Moderator available at the time, or you think we may have missed it due to a busy time (like around concerts) then a friendly reminder to us via pm would be welcome.
PHOTOS: Just a reminder (with the concert now upon us) Please only post THUMBNAILS even if it is the 'best shot you have ever taken in your life' (and most of them are when it comes to D
....we still need to have them as thumbnails. Also, ALL Photos of Damien performing are to be in the NEW Catch the Wind Tour Thread ONLY!. If you choose to post photos of yourself on the forum, you can do so in the New Tour thread with your report (which is viewable to everyone on the Internet) or you can post them privately in the Concert and Appearances thread (password required). NO PHOTOS OF MEMBERS ARE TO BE IN THE PHOTO GALLERY.
NEW
CATCH THE WIND TOUR THREAD: is for you all to come back and give your feedback and report/gush/squeeee about your time spent at the concert. Damien and his family may also like to read up on how the concerts are being received by people who attend. It may also encourage visitors/guests who view our site who haven't as yet joined up to register and become a member to join in on the fun, and also for anyone who hasn't been to a concert read our reports and possibly encourage them to attend one too. PHOTOS FROM THE CONCERT will also go into this new topic board. This Topic is only Temporary and after the concerts all threads will be moved to the Fan Encounters Sub Board above the Appearance Alert board.
THE C&A THREAD: (password access) is only for arranging meet-ups before an event and for writing up reports about private gatherings and conversations with fellow forum members etc. (in other words all the Goss
) Please do not write up your full concert report in there. Maybe you can copy and paste some of it to the AA thread if you don't want to write up two reports. This is also the place to post photos of yourself (and any group shots of members should have the permission of each member before posting)
and lastly
................HAVE A WHOLE LOTTA FUN!
