Forum temporarily down for maintenance

The forum is temporarily down for maintenance today – please stand by!

[Update] Everything’s up and running again now.

Rocks'n'Diamonds Wiki Documentation available

In addition to the existing documentation by Niko Böhm, he has now also created a Wiki based documentation project for Rocks’n’Diamonds! (Both projects are now also linked in the “Documentation” section.) Feel free to join this project and add more documentation! :-)

Contribution levels available as separate package

The additional levels contributed by other players (before version 3.1.0 part of the Rocks’n’Diamonds base package) are now available as a separate package in the “Levels & Artwork” section. (The new levels contributed in 2004 so far will be available in a few weeks.)

Levels and Links sections updated

The sections “Levels & Artwork” and “Links” have been updated and extended.

Launch of the Final Rocks'n'Diamonds Web Forum!

After yesterday’s deletion of our Web Forum, I won’t trust any free (neither “free” as in “free beer”, nor “free” as in “free speech”, but “free” as in “you get what you pay for” :-( ) web forum hosting company anymore.

Therefore, I have now installed phpBB, which is the current “state of the art” in forum software. It is totally free, open source, fast and comes with a lot of features. Among other things, this means: No annoying advertisements anymore. No “too many connections” anymore. No waiting for slow servers anymore.

I will try to make all functionality from the old forum also available in the new one soon, especially that marvellous “level sketch” feature. Currently, the new forum looks still a bit simple and generic, but this will change in the future. I hope that all active and all occasional members of the old forum will soon meet again in this new forum, so that the R’n’D community will soon be reunited again. The new forum is hosted directly on this web server and can’t be deleted by a hostile provider anymore. This forum is here to stay.

Join the Final Rocks’n’Diamonds Web Forum now! :-)
