Geek ‘Till Dawn
Posted 05.19.08 by Victoria Janik
Join DeFrag as we get heavily caffeinated and stay up all night! The lock-in includes the PC gaming lab, the console lab, and board games while JMAC takes over the theater room and shows anime all night.
This is a lock-in, so anyone may leave at any time during the night. however, no one will be let back into the building between 11pm and whenever the building re-opens on Saturday (either 7 or 8am). If you are unable to survive for 8 hours without eating, bring food is fine as long as it is not eaten in either of the gaming labs.
Keep checking this group for updates on what is going on at Geek till Dawn, and feel free to leave any questions you may have here! Me or someone else will answer them as soon as we can.
*———————————————————*
Games that will be set up! (or at least suggested):
Team Fortress 2
Rock Band
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
We don’t plan on setting up any official tournament of any kind this night
Also, there have been rumors of special guest appearances, including the mysterious El DeFrago and the even more mysterious Charley Wilcox (in pajamas?)

Attention Aspiring Game Developers,
DeFrag is about to host it’s second annual game development competition. With a grand prize of a Microsoft Zune for every member of the winning team. The core mechanic this year is light, that means all your games should have something to do with light, whether it’s lasers, the color spectrum of light, the speed of light, or merely the way it illuminates objects is entirely up to you. Just so long as it’s not a First Person Shooter, we challenge you to make something more. If you want to get on a team shoot an email to andrew@defrag.depaul.edu. All teams must be in by March 8th, so get on it double time. For specific rules and regulations visit our website at defrag.depaul.edu/nightlight/ProjectNightlight2.doc or shoot an email to Andrew.

Forum Overhall

We have moved The DeFrag Forum to https://defrag.depaul.edu/forum/.
Do I need to re-register?
No, all user accounts have been migrated to the new system. However, post counts have been reset to 0. In order to post in most forums, you must first introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum.
What has changed with the new system?
The color scheme has been changed slightly to better match our site. We also have consolidated most of the forum topics into broader ones to simplify it. You can also now add your XBox Gamer Tag to your profile. There is also a Post Rating System in place.
Post Rating System?
See a good post? You can now give the post a rating of Good or Great. These ratings will add up to give that post and thread points, and more exposure on the forum. You can rate a post by clicking its current rating (which may be No Rating) at the top of each post.
Why can’t I give Someone Negative Points?
That wouldn’t be very nice would it? The rating system is in place to encourage people to make quality posts, not to discourage people from posting.
I don’t like the new system, can you change it back?
We will be looking at any and all feedback we get on the forums. There is a thread on the new system to discuss the new forum. While we will not be just turning the old forum back on, we will take feedback into account.
Why are you doing this anyways?
As you may have notice, the forums are not as lively as they used to be. Even though we now have more members, we have less discussion on the forums (not including flaming). We hope that this will encourage our members to read and post more often.
Can I still view the old forums?
Of course! You can still view the old forums at http://defrag.depaul.edu/phpBB2/index.php.
