    New Website Layout

    Well you might have noticed the front page looking a little bit different. And that's not all. The entire website layout has been revamped to make things a little more clear and easier to understand and follow.

    The major change is that each battalion now has it's own page, with all the details for that battalion in one place. Forums, roster, an even recruitment links are all there. To also make it easier for new recruits to find where to enlist, there is a button right under the Battalion banner stating clearing "Click here to Enlist!!".
    This button will only show for those not already part of the battalion. So even other DSA looking to expand their gaming influence, can easily request to join.
    The link will take recruits to a form that once filled out, will automatically add them to the list of requests in the "Group Membership" pages we used to use. It wil also automatically add a thread in the recruiter's Office of that battalion with all the information from the form. So yes, there is now a one click option for the recruitment process. No more complicated steps to get the recruits to follow.

    To also help with the lack of confusion, each battalion now has it's own unique sub domain they can give out to new recruits or post in forums.


    XBOX Battalion Links
    Battlefield 3 = BF3.JoinDsa.com
    Call of Duty = CoD.JoinDSA.com
    Gears of War = GoW.JoinDSA.com

    PS3 Battalion Links
    Starhawk = Starhawk.JoinDSA.com
    Socom = Socom.JoinDSA.com
    Battlefield 3 = BF3PS3.JoinDSA.com


    "Wait, BF3 PS3?" you ask? Yes..

    I would also like to take this moment to congratulate the PS3 Battlefield 3 Platoon with it's new promotion to full fledged Battalion status. The dedication and hard work of all those involved have not gone unnoticed. This Platoon has now become the shining example to all platoons that aspire for greatness and battalion status. Congratulations to all of you on your hard work.

    For his tireless efforts in building this group up, I am proud to announce RageProphet as the new and first Moff of this battalion.
    Please note that not everything has been moved over, and most of that will fall under Rage's training as Moff so he knows how to handle it. So please be patient.


    As with news thread, there are also new Battalion News forums where Moffs can post news and events in each battalion page. Grand Moffs can also post news to each Division page. So this should help with communications between all.


    And speaking of patience. There might be a few flaws, errors, weird display issues with the new layout and changes. Please report them here and I will fix them as son as possible.
    I already know of IE acting weird with image borders and layout breaking. I am currently working on fixing this. I suggest everyone use Firefox or chrome at this point until I have it sorted out.


    And Lastly,

    HAPPY 8th ANNIVERSARY DSA!!!!

    ...So live, that when thy summons comes to join
    The innumerable caravan, which moves
    To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
    His chamber in the silent halls of death,
    Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
    Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
    By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
    Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
    About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

        Big thanks to Ratix on making these changes. Here I thought the site couldn't get any sexier lol.

        Congrats to Rage on becoming Moff of BF3 and taking this Platoon to the next level! If you need help with your new Moff powers just let us know.

              Wow, I'm so proud of all the BF3 guys; great job ! We've been putting it down. Congrats to all.

              First I'd like to force lighting ... I mean... thank everyone for all their hard work and dedication. I know that together we will destroy the Rebel scums.

              Thanks DSA.

              Love the way the site looks.

                First off, I would like to salute Rage for all of his hard work and support.

                Rage, you so totally deserve this honor and rank.

                It's not given lightly. Be proud you've earned it.

                It is not our hard work and dedication that earned you this rank and responsibility; it was yours. There is no need to thank us. And like I said before, I salute you for it.
                That is something I rarely do. You've earned it, and you deserve it due all the work you've done to bring honor to us all.

                And also know that you're not alone in this. If you need help or guidence, just PM anyone on the High Council. You're here for us, and we're here for you, if you need any help, Just let us know. We've all "been there, done that", over the years.

                You've done well my friend, and you should be proud of yourself, as we are so proud of you.

                Remember that from now on in this battalion, we fight for you, and the DSA.

                  I want to say thank you and a congrats to Rage as well. I would also like to remind all PS3 guys that another Battalion is fast approaching us and that is Dust 514. It is a free to play game and no one has excuses to not play it.

                  I look forward to playing with everyone in the near future and once again Rage thanks for putting forth such an effort and more importantly for being my personal friend. You have helped me through a dark time like a lot of other guys.

                      I REALLY like the new layout. Much easier for people visiting the site for the first time to navigate.

                      Congrats Rage! It is work from SOBs like you that will keep the rebels in there rightful place, living among G rated homo-creatures like the ewoks and jar jar binks :D

                        Thanks.... That's funny. I'm telling you we'll be shaving down ewoks and making rugs soon enough.

                          A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. ― Alexis de Tocqueville
