For those still using ditzie...

   
For those still using ditzie...

I don't even remember when the tool first went online, but I think it was sometime in 2006. That was before the iPhone came out, back when people were still using the phrase "web 2.0". It was a few years later that ditzie got a dedicated domain (registered April 8, 2009) and it started being used mostly as a tool for PbP battle maps.

Alas, if you're still using it, I regret to say that ditzie will go offline for good on Dec 1, 2021.

Some (maybe) interesting facts...

* ditzie has been used to generate 148,404 saved pages (to date). 99% of those are PbP battle maps.
* It still gets semi-regular use.
* I have completely lost track of the number of times I planned to rewrite it from scratch and never did.
* It has never collected any user data other than basic registration information for the gallery. The main app is totally anonymous.
* It was written in, and still runs on PHP5 which went end-of-life in Dec, 2018.
* It has run in a series of Docker containers on a dedicated virtual machine since May, 2018.
* The source code (which started off in svn, then moved to git) is currently tagged v3.2.
* The last update done was to get it to work in its current environment. I don't recall the last changes made prior to that.
* The Gallery2 software embedded in ditzie hasn't been updated since 2012. The current (and latest) version of Gallery3 was released in 2013.

Anyway, if you were ever a user, then thank you for visiting.

Begun using Ditzie in the 2013, in my first crusade campaign here
Stopped using it when it went offline for some time (i thought it died) this september, in my third crusade campaign
so, about 9 years of ditzie.

Always appreciated it's simplicity.

Goodbye Ditzie

Oh man, I LOVED ditzie for PBP maps...

Sorry to see it go as well.

It was a great tool while it lasted!!

What up fellow Weavers! quick question, Has anyone found a similar site to this? Ditzie was perfect for ease of party interaction here on the weave and i have yet to find a suitable replacement.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to find something at least close to its equal?
