New DSL Button Board At HQ!

DSL Button Board ver. 1.5

Important Update: Transition to In-World Info Button Board

Starting today, we are officially transitioning to the in-world info button board, which now contains all the pages and information previously found here.

This button board replaces the need to open your web browser to access current information. While this INFO page will still exist, it will no longer be actively updated and will serve only as an archive placeholder.

What to Expect

• Most buttons will provide a notecard with up-to-date information, including a revision date at the top so you can easily see when it was last updated.
• Other buttons will offer direct links to various DSL-related pages on the web.

Recent Updates

The DSL and YouTube Links page has been refreshed with current links to our video streamers.

Moving Forward

Please use the button bar at all HQ's for all current information going forward.

Acknowledgment and Thanks

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to the Fandom Wiki, Blogger Blog, and INFO page over the years. Your time, effort, and dedication since 2019 have been invaluable and are truly appreciated.

Feedback and Suggestions

I will continue to update information as it becomes available. If you have suggestions for new buttons, content ideas, or useful links, feel free to share them. I am always open to ways we can improve and expand our resources.

Current Contributors

Please send me updates as needed via PM or Note Cards in world and thank you!

Sponsors

If you would like to advertise on our button boards let me know and thank you!

Cheers,

Jazz

PS: We had a good run here since 2021!

Drivers of SL by Bixyl Shuftan of SL Newser

https://slnewser.blogspot.com/2023/08/drivers-of-sl.html

After my initial interview months ago and later with Zada and Christie, Bixyl Shuftan has produced a felicitous article on DSL. This article is a good summary of our organization and how it works. 

Thanks and appreciation go to Bixyl! 

We hope to see her on one or more of our drives or events in the future.

Give it a good read and feel free to leave comments below. 

The Decommissioning... We Said Goodbye To Our Beloved HQ1

In 2019, it was decided that we needed a world headquarters. We needed a space to be able to give out our weekly navHUD via a file cabinet and have a home to call our own where people could gather to collect our weekly adventure drive which included a GTFO drive once a month. Close ties with the GTFO organization including CinnamonMousse and Syler Avon made this possible. Shortly thereafter, Christie asked me if I would be interested in maintaining the place and I agreed it would be fun and that would take on the responsibility. Thus the DSL headquarters was a established inside the GTFO World Headquarters located on Bruissac on the Jeogeot Gulf adjacent to the Blake Sea (some of the most expensive real estate areas on the grid).

As the years went on, I would create sets of displays in the courtyard depending on our special events and seasons featuring vehicles from our sponsors given out each week to highlight and a also give a sense of belonging. I especially enjoyed creating winter scenes with snow and vehicles related to that with trees and lighting etcetera.

As the story goes, one day Syler decided to make a change. He grew tired of the same old set up of the GTFO World Headquarters and wanted to try something new. This included our space. It turns out that Syler re arranged his land holdings and was able to consolidate land in Bruissac and adjacent Hugues together to form a new GTFO and DSL headquarters. This is where we are at now.
