As of now we will be implementing a new policy for password changes, this has been an ongoing issue.

When can I request a change?
Switch Users are eligible for a change anytime. Their password will only be changed if they use the registered IP address that was used upon their account creation or the last IP used after you were logged in. Create an alt account

Desktop/Tablet/Smartphone Users are required to have an email registered depending on the circumstances. You will be able to request a password change without email twice. Like Switch users, you must use the last logged in IP or the IP used upon your account creation. Remember to create an alt account or DM a Global Mod on the BDNS Discord

If at anytime you do not receive the password change email (which works), you should email contact@browsedns.net! We will ask you to upload your IP using a reliable IP grabber like whatismyip.com, after verification is complete you will be able to change your password.

Okay so to be clear, BDSM is inappropriate, sexual and probably prohibited on every 13+ website. It technically falls under being inappropriate, but i think it is better to be clear.

and Nareds new rule is 100% reasonable. We were spammed by over 10 bots while you were offline.

and my recent rule saying not to mentioning drugs, weapons or anything of that nature is just... something you wouldn't want on a 13+ website.

All three new rules are in place to create a safe atmosphere, and if you're trying to justify that they're not needed then I find that ridiculous. The @administrators already know they can come to me if they do not agree with any of our rules.

Anything else that you are concerned about?

Mentioning, posting or referring to BDSM or anything of that nature is strictly prohibited.
This includes but not limited to (Top/Bottom/Dom/Sub/Slave)

Thanks

Hello! I know you're saying "NO MORE NEWS POSTS" right now. Here is another one.

We've disabled the option to delete accounts for the following reasons:

• To prevent users to delete their account & then come back hoping they did not delete it
• To prevent users from deleting their account when they get in serious trouble... this has happened before
• To give you that 2nd layer of protection on your accounts.

If you want your account deleted contact the @Global-Moderators and they will guide you.

Note that you MUST have a registered email with us in order to request an account deletion. All account deletions must be sent to contact@browsedns.net and it should be with the email your account is registered with.

We will be looking to find ways to reverse account deletions if you ever do delete your account and want to come back... that way account deletes are not permanent. Until then the option will remain disabled.

Thank you,
BrowseDNS Forum Administration

Good Morning,

Tomorrow we will be doing a little get together event. I'd like all of us to just come together and see who's the best fortnite player (It's me, right? /j)

Obviously if you don't have fortnite or fortnite downloaded don't worry i'll think of more contests in the future.

Again, tomorrow at 7PM EST timezone. We will do zone wars, team rumble and other pvp gamemodes. Leave your ideas in the comments.

I will post my username that you will need to add as a friend in order to participate shortly... PM me and LMK that you sent me a friend request.

Regards,
BrowseDNS Forum Services

Additional information:

I also want to show some recognition to @moonlitprxsm and @KG3M0! Continue to work hard and keep trying to improve, remember that it isn't always about you and it is better to think more about the success of other individuals rather than yourself, which is what team players do. Congratulations on making to to moderator now it is up to you to show us your full potential.

My apologies for the slowness in resetting the password if you're locked out of your account. You can always DM a Global Moderator again if you still wish to reset it. I have been very slow at contacting the administrators.

Happy Chatting,
Raven

Howdy,

It has been brought to my attention that there is still some confusion on where to post things. The most popular mistakes are the Questions/Help category options.

Later today I will add some symbols that will make it a lot more easy to know where to post. Before I can I will need to explain a few things.

What is a Parent Category?
A parent category is a category that separates multiple category options from other ones. For example lets say I wanted to connect the Edge of The Forum Category a parent of Food Category, the food category will display UNDER the Edge Of The Forum Category.

There can be multiple Parent Category options BTW!!! Typically we use Parent Category options to make things more organized and neat. So if you see the "Community Discussion" option, that is a parent category of multiple other category options.

What is a Co-Parent Category
A Co-Parent Category is a category that is the child of one category but also the parent of another category, think of it how your parents have parents!

So here's an example, I made Forum Games a Parent Category of Trivia and I made Trivia a Parent Category of Edge Of The Forum. It's like a family tree.

What is Child Category?
A Child Category is pretty simple. It is the child of a parent category.

---

Now That we have discussed that, I have made a few adjustments regarding category options.

All Parent Category Options will have a Thumbtack as their image, you will see it beside the category name. EVERYTHING below it is a child category unless there is more parent category options to separate it and stop the flow.

All Co-Parent Category Options will display a Star as its image. To be clear a co-parent category does not stop the flow Kinda, it is still a child of the parent category but also has its children that are not related or connected to the parent category that the co-parent category is connected to.

Child Category Options will not display a star nor thumbtack, its image will be random or it will be related to what you are to post there.

Obviously, you can ask a Forum Moderator on where you should post something if you're not sure. You can also go to https://browsedns.net/categories to view everything I have explained. Every category should have somekind of description to it.

Our @Forum-Moderators, @Global-Moderators and @Administrators will continue to be consistent in moving threads to the correct category.

---

The Following Categories have been deleted...

Switch Questions & Help (HomeBrew & Development) - You may now post all your hombrew questions in the co-parent category which is "Homebrewing Your Switch".

Phones/PC Questions & Help (Homebrew & Development) - You may now post all your questions regarding homebrew and development on phones/pc in the Phone/PC Category.

Emulators & More Questions/Help (Homebrew & Development) - You may now post all your questions in the Emulators Category.

General - All threads posted in general have been moved to Edge Of The Forum

If you have posted threads in the categories mentioned above, they will be merged with their co-parent. DM me if you have any questions.

We have also added the Food Category, Staff Communications, BrowseDNS Questions, Complaints & Warning appeals and Trivia.

---

Themes

We have changed our default theme to Lumen, which gives the classic BrowseDNS Vibe.

---

Forum Settings & Information

The Character Limit for bios is now 5000, it was originally 1000 which seemed to have caused some issues.

GDPR - Account Deletions: We will still follow the guidelines for GDPR which grants you the access to permanently DELETE your account. We are currently in talks to allow it but have a delete time on it. For example, if you try to delete your account you will need to wait 7 days for it to properly delete.

Post Queue: The Post queue is removed until further notice.

Chat Reputation Requirement: This setting is back to zero and has been removed until further notice.

Global Moderation Changes

I will continue to post these newsletter frequently. I will adopt this into my duties as a member of the admin team. You will still receive your regular newsletters from the forum services team.

Thank you,

I honestly don't care much about politics, I just want someone who will actually do something good for our country considering we are on our downfall as we speak. I feel as if Donald Trump only cares about power and fame.

@Skye_twitch What makes Trump better qualified? Please elaborate

I rather have a President who tries to do something than someone who is only worried about their Campaign 24/7. The Assassination Attempt on Trump nearly ended his life. He decided to make a Campaign move after nearly dying. This Was a mistake, i will be suprised of Trump makes it 4 years without getting another assassination attempt on him. I don't want someone to die or get injured trying to fix our country, i care more about safety than a good president. Lets also keep this civil please lol, we are Americans!

Stop acting like a dickhead to people who have done nothing to you, @Andyboi!

Even if you don't like some individuals which is understandable. Don't show that publicly.

Stop talking about suicide. It isn't allowed and I strongly dislike the topic.

I don't care how suicidal you feel but keep that to dms and not to the public, makes yourself look attention seeking.

@ZenkoZan

This is exactly why the world is how it is today.

You don't understand the amount of work it takes to keep a roof over your heads, instead you sit here and bash parents about how they're raising you. If you're eating food and living under someones roof, they obviously care about you enough to pay for you.

@sillysora99 Honestly, it is their house and i think you should follow their rules without any further issues. The audacity for you to say something like that shows how ungrateful humans can be.

@IM_N0T_ØKAY said in I got the Job :D, Say Hello to the latest member in Forum Services:

@Raven I meant you'll rehire me in a few months thanks to me talking with Wolfie. i also meant i screwed up on my first day

That is @NightmareWolfie, not me lol

Humble yourself a lil

Again, without you telling them how you feel nothing will be done and nobody will understand you or your dislikes.

I find it a little strange that you dislike people doing this to you and you don't take the steps to fix the issue. Everyone is weird in their own way, there is nothing you can do to fix this. You are weird, we all are. I also don't really agree that everyone is confusing.

If you don't express your feelings, you can't expect anyone to change.

Not at all @juvon

I'm not meaning to offend anyone here but that is something adults around 40 tend to call children/teens, i'm sure they didn't mean to misgender you or whatever you felt like what was going on. It is just something that they have developed through their time of being alive (for example: their fashion may not be the same as yours.). I think they're just trying to make you feel good about yourself

Calling a woman a "young lady" is supposed to kind of be a complement to a girl about how they act or the things you do. Maybe it makes you uncomfortable because you rather be called them, you should definitely tell them this if that is the case. Communication is key when it comes to these things. If you don't, you expect them to read your mind?

I don't find it weird though and they're not a creep @juvon. When people do that it is best to just keep cool and just ignore those kind of things, most of the time they didn't know and don't really understand this kind of stuff as much as we do.

I 100% agree with Maribitt, I somewhat understand your feelings though.

I hope we get flying cars in 2025!
