An important announcement from the management
« on: April 01, 2023, 04:18:41 AM »
The DTF management would like to announce that as of 23/03/31 23:59, Dream Theater Forums has been acquired in its entirety by Elon Musk for a value of $69 Billion. While this may seem like an exorbitant sum, Elon and the management are confident in the revenue potential of this unique social media platform and are ready to take Dream Theater Forums into a new era, now rebranded as DTFX™.

As part of this change, all custom member groups will be replaced by a new "DTFX verified" status which will be offered to users at the reasonable sum of $8.69 a month, with legacy member groups being phased out over the next few months. The new "DTFX verified status" will offer users exclusive access to features like:

- Being able to post replies in excess of 4000 characters.
- A blue check mark next to your name. To prove its really you.
- Access to an mp3 containing the missing 43 minute solo at the end of Pull Me Under.
- A 1000 message PM inbox.
- A random alphanumeric string generator, useful for generating unique passwords or naming your next child.
- 10 shares in DTFX, currently valued at $140.37 $78.84 $13.20 some amount of USD, and access to the exclusive DTFX-FTX cryptocurrency exchange (access to exchange currently limited due to audit.)

DTF verified status can be pre-ordered right now, and by doing so you get the first 3 months for the price of one! You can take advantage of this absolute bargain of an offer by sending $8.69 to dreamtheaterforums@yahoo.com.

Thank you, and we look forward to revealing exciting new features in the near future

Best Regards,

Elon and the DTFX team.

Finally the deal got done. Really interested to see where this goes. Hopefully the Rebecca black fan club portion of the forum is happy with this development.

I knew Pull Me Under ended too abruptly!!!
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I can only assume this means Bosk is fired, right?  And the other Mods too, nut they just haven’t been notified yet.

Why is cramx3 at the top of my forum page?

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

The writing is on the wall.  It has been a cesspool for as long as I can remember, and with Elon Musk's recent actions, it is just a matter of time before it goes the way of myspace, as Musk seems determined to blow a lot of his own money just to watch it burn.

I have to say, waking up, clicking on this website, and seeing Elon’s face was a terrible way to start my day. 10/10 would April Fool again.

I can just see all the former DTF staff being halfway to Tahiti right know without any hesitation about the decision whatsoever.  :lol Can't blame them.
