History
Ah, The Dink Smallwood Solutions, let us reminisce. Founded somewhere in 1998 by Dukie, this place has almost always been the only website dedicated to the D-Mod walkthroughs. We had joy, we had fun. We moved quite a lot too. In 2001, Beuc joined forces with Dukie, which was probably the best thing to ever happen to this site. But as our lives got busier, the updates got scarcer. In 2005, redink1 offered us a permanent hosting location, as part of The Dink Network. But updates were still far and few in between. Until one day in 2006...
Current website - Technical overview
The current website is managed using SPIP.
The URL rewriting that includes the language code instead of the article ID can be found here.
spip-principles explains the basics to administer this SPIP website, and design includes notes about some advanced configurations.
You can also grab the "d-mod" used for the old site background:
The amazeing background was generated with Mazesmith and edited with The Gimp.
Current Webmasters
Daan Buckinx aka Dukie
Dukie, a Belgian native, is one of the solid pillars who supports the Dink Community since its first steps on the Internet back in 1998. Though he has less free time now, he is still around, posts humourous comments on the message board, maintains the Dink Solutions and knows how to motivate his troups of professional and wannabe walkthrough writers.
You can contact him at dukie@dinknetwork.com or using ICQ, #1585774

Sylvain Beucler aka Beuc
Beuc is the French co-owner of The DS Solutions. He joined the team in 2001, after having written some excellent walkthroughs. He even translated the entire site, Dink Smallwood itself and numerous walkthrough in French! Beuc is an all-round good guy who should be praised in many more ways than Dukie can think of! Back in the day, Dukie used to call him B"ue"c sometimes, but those days are over!
You can contact him at beuc@beuc.net or using Jabber, username Beuc
