Okay, current plans are to celebrate our anniversary in 3DP.net (http://www.3dpnet.ca/), this Saturday (tomorrow) from 5-midnight EST maybe? I'll setup a chat on the main page so ppl won't have to hunt around for it, 3D Chat and avatars will also be available. We'll hold Another party when 3DP is up and running again. Due to the length of our downtime everyone will get a substantial PC and EXP bonus when we're back onlineNews for This Week
by jdb_educator When we clicked this morning we found both 3DP.net and 3DPlantes.com were working at time of publication. Since our own latest computer fiasco here (Our OS kept rebooting right into our tech's shop). We are on a 512 meg ram laptop and turning Deighyv into our hardworking reporter for the week (we do prefer the term slave but these days? Political corerectness, and all ... we have to say: our hardworking reporter . Medeusa is blackmailing us into finding and updating our recipe page. Cruel woman! Look for THAT story next week.Well Deserved Promotion for Cheyla

by Founder Deighv Friday Problems not resolved. Thursday Okay, the database issue has been repaired AGAIN, keep your fingers crossed that they did a proper job this time. If these problems continue I am gonna look for a new hosting service! Earlier on Thursday Sorry but this morning we are experiencing a database issue AGAIN on 3dpnet. This time my hosting service assures me that a REAL tech is gonna look into fixing it, hehe but then again ..... that's what they said two days ago when the same thing happened .....New Movie in the ePod!

Hehe, a must watch even for those who don't like horror movies, trust me To view the ePod while 3DP is offline simply login to 3dpnet.ca and look for the ePod on the left-side MENU. Enjoy the movie, I promise you'll get a giggle or two watching it.3D Emergency Service

Check out the epod!
There are movies online at 3DP! They change when Deighv gets some new ones. We wanted to check out the software so we opened the epod in a new page, which opened the cinema in yet another page. We closed down the extra pages and selected a movie. we began looking at Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters The software worked perfectly for us for the 17 minutes we spent looking. We played with the controls and hope to finish watching it. Last night we watched Olympus Has Fallen. Everything went well until about 25 minutes into the movie we began experiencing brief lags as the streaming cache wasn't keeping ahead. We paused the video for a few minutes and had no problems the rest of the way through the movie. We had better success with Firefox than CrazyBrowser, but both worked.Here is our Starhenge Tour at 3DP
