We have moved to a great
New Rocks’n’Diamonds Web Forum!
Alan Bond has created a
new forum
that replaces the
old forum
(which is still available to read the old posts there).
The new forum has a lot of advantages over the old one! It is much
faster, offers a lot of great new features many people missed in
the old forum, and it looks so much better – but you should see it
for yourself! :-)
This new web forum is again a great place for discussion around
Rocks’n’Diamonds, submitting bug reports or suggesting new features,
find help, talk to other level designers or artwork creators and
read announcements of new releases!
Join it now!

The Web Forum
now also contains a
German Section!
