Dear dp members,


Finally; A light at the end of the tunnel that everyone thought was never-ending, a new hope! Dotapickup might be able to survive and transition into Dota 2 against all odds. What we have been waiting for came as a lightning from a clear sky; the possible future and next chapter of dp will be written now. We have begun to brainstorm and we are currently taking all the ideas we can get as how to make dp survive. Will we create a new site? Will we concentrate on dota 2 only? Can we get rid of the validation system and attract new players? What can we change and most importantly: What do YOU want to change about dp? If you have any ideas or want to make your voice heard, be sure to leave your thoughts in this brainstorming thread. Don't miss this opportunity to help dp for the greater good!

We are in the need of people with the skill of art; Designers. Be sure to tell your sisters, your mother and your cousins; We need YOUR help to survive and now is the best possible chance you have to make an impact on what you want to happen. Now is the time we stand together, join hands, help eachother and win against the haters. Dotaplayers, UNITE! A huge thanks to everyone who show interest and are willing to contribute!

Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp members,


It is with long faces we are to announce that Beleidiger has stepped down from his admin position. He was one of the more active admins, always helping people out and caring for DP. Beleidiger will continue to hang around on IRC and here at the forum but from now on as a regular user. Beleidiger made this decision on his own and have written some more information regarding this in his admin thread.

From the hearts of the whole crew we wish to say this: Thank you for everything! We will miss you buddy! Good luck with everything and may the force be with you.

Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp,

from today on our old and beloved xp channel will change the game, it's finally time for DotA2!


There are some changes for the channel, please take care of them:

• for rule changes look here
  
• the standard mode is -cm
• you dont need 25 games for XP early access anymore
• for the hosting and joining part watch this thread
  
• note that at the moment you still have to be normal member of pickup, thus you still need the validation (might sound crazy, we are working to fix that)

Have fun with the new game and merry christmas to everyone already!

Dear dp,

We are currently discussing about doing some major changes to dp for the launch of DotA 2.
Since we are only a few people with limited time we'd like to ask for your assistance. We are in the need
of a design for a brand new page. Some guidelines to have in mind when doing this;

Edit: We are discussing a completely new page and not a forum. This is why we need assistance with the design.
The page must contain the following:

• A login feature menu
• sidebar
• place for advertisement.
• There should be a navigation which can be easy extended (No special different Buttons for each topic)

If you have any skills regarding design/layouts your help will be much appreciated.
If you wanna answer / contribute => Click here

Dear dp members,

Since we´re on Facebook for some time now, we want you to like us there. We try to keep it up-to-date, so you dont have to check on two pages. I assume you´re using Facebook more often than you use our Dotapickup site. Keep us on track on what you like to see or what you want to change.



Our Facebook Site can found here.



Sincerely,

your dp-team

Dear dp members,


We would like to welcome and congratulate two new members to our admin crew. Trusted Players Fallingdown and Beleidiger have been promoted to admins. Due to their hard input into this community, shown activity and hard dedication they proved to be worthy of being promoted. Hopefully they will raise the admin activity a bit and continue doing a good job.

Be sure to query them on irc and send a lot of private messages here on the forum to them. Send some congratulation messages to Fallingdown and send some to Beleidiger also. Just for the fun of it, spam a lot in their admin threads; here. YES, SPAMMING IS GRANTED! Congratulations and welcome!

Sincerely,

your dp-team
