Disney Mania: The Legacy of UltimateDisney Continues

Post by Heartless »

When I heard about Luke's extreme problems with his site and unfortunate treatment by Google, I had hoped everything would somehow be worked out and we could continue enjoying ourselves here at Ultimate Disney as we do on a regular basis. However, when word came out that the site and forum was scheduled to close, I was very disheartened. I figured that was the end of that, and our community would either be split up or slowly disappear. I just couldn't let that happen.

I really have grown to enjoy the community here. And with this, I have created a new community - a new forum where 'the legacy of UD can continue.'

And without further adieu, I present to you Disney Mania: http://disneymania.forumotion.com/

Please realize that this is very much a prototype. Everything is subject to change. It may not be the greatest thing on the planet, but I believe this is the greatest chance for our community to continue to thrive once Ultimate Disney closes. Aesthetic changes are probably definitely going to happen, but I did what I could for the time being. I wanted to get up the forum as quickly as possible as to let as many members here know of it before the "Sitepocalypse."

I encourage all of you to join this forum, so that when the inevitable closing of this forum happens, we will be able to continue at Disney Mania. (Yeah, Disney Mania.. best name I could come up with lol. But its where "all yer dreems com tru!" so it's sure to be a magical place. lol

In all seriousness though, I really would like to see all of us continue to do everything we did at this forum. The setup is a little different (perhaps to offer more diversity and organization) but similar guidelines, etc. will be implemented so that it will have a similar feel to here.

Also, I got spoilers for Super Aurora. :D
I'm still looking at all the features, but from what I've seen it looks like all the feature we have here (and then some) are available!

I hope this offers a great alternative for the continuation of Ultimate Disney! Thank you everyone for creating such a great environment here, and thank you all the administrators and moderators for maintaing a warm and stable environment. I hope that this forum continues the legacy you created.

Thanks for joining. I hope you will stay here! I will still primarily be following UD as well. This forum is just to pick up where UD leaves off, so its not entirely necessary to post until this forum closes. You are welcome to, but I don't see much point in it. haha

It was created early so that I spread awareness of it before UD closes.
Again, thanks for the support!

I couldn't post though... I tried to add a post after Barbossa's, but couldn't. Where is the button to post? lol I'm such a newbie.

*EDIT* Nevermind! I thought I was signed in, but I really wasn't. :oops: lol

I already joined. Hopefully UD isn't going anywhere, as it's already established, has great reviews and usually brings us breaking stories on Disney releases. If something does happen, hopefully everyone will migrate to Disney Mania.

Signatures are working now. Reputation system is now activated. A spoiler feature is currently available under "Others" on the toolbar when posting.

Thanks.

Although the rep system, where is that located? You didn't have to do it. I just thought it would make the forum more....interesting LOL.

I've registered and have made a handful of posts to introduce myself and show my support. :) I'm still focusing the majority of my discussions on Disney here at UD while we still have it.

I signed up, but I still did not get the e-mail to activate my account. Does it have something to do with the security on my computer?

This might be a really dumb question but why doesn't Luke change the name of this site? If dvdizzy.com won't show up on google then maybe something else would?

^wasn't that the reason for the change from ultimate Disney to DVDizzy in the first place? if a name change didn't work then why would it be any different this time?

You've been activated. :D

I do want everyone to realize that I want everyone to continue supporting and posting here as long as we have. Disney Mania will remain open, however I would really like for everyone to continue discussion here (like many of you are already planning to do! :) )
Like I said, there's really no need to use that forum until (if) this forum closes. It was a safety measure and no more than that.
