You knew something was afoot, you've heard the rumors, but now, at long last comes the announcement that we've all been waiting for...

The HDI Screenshot Contest Is Finally Here!!!

Starting on Sunday, August 24th, post your screenshots in this forum until September 7. At that time all entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges. A poll will be devised and HDI Guild Memebers will then be able vote on their favorite entry. The top vote getter will win 100 gold, 2nd place gets 60 gold, and the 3rd place entry will take home 40 gold.

I am hoping that this will catch on with everyone and so to keep it going each contest will be based on a theme. The first theme is, "Self-portrait."

So find out which outfits best compliment your physique, what color clothing bring out your healthy skin tones and which is your most flattering side, and start taking screenshots!

Spread the word far and wide! - The HDI Screenshot Contest is Here!

Braukin (our lvl 53 dwarf rogue) thought it would be fun to take a stroll through Orgrimmar the other night after clearing Ragefire Chasm. While on his little 'vacation' he snapped a couple screens and even documented his experience in this thread. Feel free to check it out and comment if you liked it.

I thought that this was news enough to share with everyone ... well, since it's off the topic of 'When is the next Kara run!?' Some of Brau's adventure is pretty funny also! LOL Brau, love the portal diving!!

Anyway, I say we set up a huge raid and take out ALL of the merchants next time! Anyone else game?

Hey all, Elro discovered an addon that will be of help to everyone called 'Group Calender'. It is, as the name would indicate, an 'ingame' calender on which to mark events, confirm attendance, leave messages, etc. The very nice thing is that it appears as a clock on the upper left of your minimap where the moon/sun are located. Clicking on the clock opens the calender. This calendar will help us tremendously in the planning and scheduling of events, most of all because it is 'ingame' as opposed to the website calender.

We haven't pressed this addon as a mandatory requirement for the guild .. yet, but a good majority of us are currently using it and I would strongly encourage the rest of you to 'go get it' and start using it.

You can download the latest version here.

[UPDATE] I moved the chat feature to the < left hand column. And now the videos have their own page. [UPDATE]

You may, or may not, have noticed the new link above titled "Chat". I was a little annoyed with the Tuesday down time today and was checking for upgrades to the site. Found a 'shoutbox' style chat feature that was easily implemented into our site, so I went with it.

Not sure if this is much of an upgrade or anything, but thought you might like it anyway.

Let me know what you think in this 'members only' thread.

Hey guys and gals, I've updated our videos so that they are now shown it a 'album style' widget which you can easily scroll through. This will save you all time in having to flip over to the older news page to view that 'Chick Fight' once more .. cause you know you all wanna see it again, right?

Let me know what you think!

[For those of you who didn't know, I dinged to 70 for the first time last night! WOOT!! Bring on the BG's and Arena!!]
