Good evening, everyone!

I know we have not had a nomination like this for a long time, but this is certainly long overdue and deserves some formal recognition.

Idyll, it feels great knowing that myself and the rest of the admins have someone to lean on when we aren't available or unable to get something done. I will say, having you around has certainly made a positive impact on our community, and we are forever grateful to have you with us. On Behalf of the BrowseDNS Administrators and the Service Administrators, I commend you for your hard work and dedication to providing a safe and welcoming environment to our community users.

Please spam ping and congratulate @Aperitif in the comments, you have my permission.

I was hoping this was enough to help with the issue on not knowing what category to put stuff in. Tell me what you think it means when something is indented underneath another category, perhaps it relates to that category? You tell me your thoughts.

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate and support LGBTQ+ people around the world. It is an opportunity to learn more about LGBTQ+ history, recognize the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals, and promote kindness, respect, and acceptance. Pride Month also reminds us of the importance of creating communities where everyone feels welcome and valued. By learning more about different experiences and treating others with understanding, we can help make a positive difference.

Hello!

I just wanted to give some praise to our Staff and community for pushing your peers towards working harder to improve BrowseDNS. It is greatly appreciated and we wouldn't be here without you.

Take a look below and just look at the percent increases.

Howdy,

I come here with some exciting news, I have appointed a very special individual on our team to a very important role, the most important role!

I have watched them grow, learn, and experience the mod community since the beginning. This user has shown an extreme amount of dedication to the community, has a strong reputation, and has committed extremely large amounts of time to the forum.

Although their first time being Moderator was a bit rough, from being fired for issues, to mistakes, and more– they've shown courage and resilience to these obstacles, which matters the most to us.

They are now considered an Admin-In-Training while we teach them the fundamentals and will oversee/manage the community from now on while I am away.

Please congratulate, @NightmareWolfie on the promotion!

Thank you,
Raven

Hii!

I am filled with joy to see that our efforts are now paying off!

This past month has marked a major turning point for our community. The growth, activity, and overall engagement we’ve seen are the direct result of focused effort, higher standards, and teamwork across the board.

I want to personally thank our Moderation Team and Public Relations Team.

Over the past month, I’ve placed significant demands on both teams. Expectations were raised, workloads increased, and accountability tightened. It required consistency, extra effort, and considerable hard work behind the scenes.

The results we’re seeing now are exactly why that push was necessary.
Your dedication to enforcing standards, driving engagement, improving outreach, and maintaining structure has made a measurable impact on this community’s success. That effort does not go unnoticed.

To our teams: thank you for stepping up and delivering.

To our members: thank you for showing up, participating, and helping us continue to grow.

We’re building momentum — and we’re not slowing down.

Let’s keep pushing forward.

I can get you resources and support, anything you need, Raven has it and will make it happen, regardless of where you are. I do not support these actions, so you just let me know what you need (support-wise), dms only!

@shrub @Kam this is childish and needs to stop. If it continues, expect bans, especially if you've been unbanned before and given a second chance after a permanent ban that was given to you.

Do not take our kindness for granted.

Next person to mess up and start arguing about religious viewpoints will be the reason religious topics get banned entirely. Religious Topics were not allowed for years until I allowed you all that privilege due to the fact I felt we could handle it, but apparently not. Take this as a final warning as I am tired of seeing regular posts getting derailed and locked over this nonsense.

This is a very interesting topic-

I believe VG will pull out a red card and not take anyones donations to the service, it kind of sounds like something he'd say. lol

@derpygrooves said in I can't access the secret browser on switch anymore:

@bugsinbread both didn't work for sum reason

Both seem to be operational at the moment. I suggest that you restart your device, check for updates, or possibly try using another one of our DNS servers (Preferably EU). If it still does not work for you obviously we can have one of the admins help you out.

US East: 45.55.142.122 (formerly Switchbru DNS)
US West: 45.55.112.11
England: 46.101.65.164

Thanks,

I want to make a few things clear...

Just because someone calls you a [censored] and you're here to moderate the site that does not give you or anyone else an excuse to tell someone to cut themselves. It's unprofessional and it pisses me off when I see people trying to defend that.

Nobody on my team will ever find a reason to say that to anyone here and it does not matter what the [censored] they said to you or someone else.

He was already banned, there's no reason to ban him again other than the fact they posted all those threads.

I am already pissed off by reading what they said because there was so many ways to avoid telling someone to cut or kill themself, so many other solutions, and so much more.

If I was still a Global Mod I would have demoted that mod no questions asked, that's again a disgrace seeing that coming from a moderator.

Anyone who has a problem with that come to me directly. I don't give a shit how much your feelings were hurt, NEVER is it okay to say that especially when you were only called a [censored].

This is a good example of people that post things when they have no clue what they're talking about.

SHUT UP and get with the program

I will be going on a Leave Of Absence for a few weeks as I finish up some important work before the next school year begins for our students. I'll be on and off, but until I announce my return, please do not message me regarding site issues unless it is an emergency.

Any further questions, comments, or concerns can be directed to any member of the @Staffing-Department

Thank you,
Raven

Howdy, BrowseDNS!

We have had an incident where a group of individuals have decided to attempt to gather gather false evidence against me in hopes to have me banned. Let me make this clear, making up bullshit accusations that are untrue will not be tolerated and myself and @Almond will personally ban you per discussed. We will not tolerate lies or the act of spreading misinformation such as calling me a pedophile when there is no direct evidence of such, and there will never be because it is simply a lie. I do not appreciate such accusations at all, this is your only opportunity to stop and cease discussions regarding this matter.

If you recieve evidence of someone claiming I said a slur, it is again misinformation. That screenshot was edited by a permanently banned user when users were abusing the Inspect Element to change the text on our website. Furthermore, before you accuse an individual of such actions, try to make it make sense in general.

Do not waste your time trying to make up lies to remove me from my position. For the users that participated in these acts but are not banned; I suggest that you take this opportunity to stop spreading lies. We have a collection of over 20 Screenshots containing information from multiple users around our platform. If we hear anything more about this, you WILL be IP Blacklisted and permanently banned immediately.

Thank you,
BrowseDNS Admin Team
