Happy Thanksgiving

Username: {$user.login} Password: {$user.pass}

Hi all, just wanted to give you a few updates this month.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to let you all know how thankful we are for your patronage and active participation in the site. We know you have many choices on the net and sincerely appreciate you spending your time and money at DOC.

Also, Thanksgiving week seems a perfect time to kick off our new section of the newsletter:

CHARITY PROFILE OF THE MONTH

Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS

(http://www.apicha.org/)

APICHA's mission is to combat AIDS-related discrimination and to support, empower, and enhance the quality of life of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the New York City area - particularly community members living with AIDS and HIV infection - through client services, education, training and technical assistance, community organizing, coalition building, policy analysis, and research.

PHOTO GALLERY

Special thanks to our top uploaders and their super hot pix, especially: milkman (now the #1 poster on the site!), Calder, axn22, justinc, rvrguy238, tavernkeeper, memattohyeah (#3 poster on the site!), BiJockCo, phish808 (#4 poster on the site), Smitty (#5 poster on the site!), correl9 and others -- YOU GUYS ROCK!

We've got nearly 15,000 pix in the gallery (1,000 more since last month!) for your viewing pleasure.

NEW DATACENTER IN NYC

We're in the process of setting up and moving into a new datacenter here in NYC. By moving into our own facility, we expect to improve the performance of the site as well as get the flexibility we need to introduce some new and innovative features that you won't find anywhere else. We're looking at a host of new services that will especially help expand what we can do in the chat/video rooms.

We should have the new datacenter up in December and will transition all of the servers over during the month. At most, we expect any outages to be an hour or two, if any, and will pre-announce the moves in advance.

SEX STORIES

Thanks to HARRYROD575 for the hot "My Trainer, Bobby" series in the sex stories section. Harry has also submitted a new story, "I Dare You" that we'll add in this week for your enjoyment.

If you'd like to see your story in the sex stories section, you can email them to sexstories@dudesoffcampus.com or contact Michael.

HOT OR NOT

It seems the drama with Hot or Not has finally come to an end and the countermeasures we put in place to stop the vote rigging has worked. So for anyone who had stopped participating becuase of the voting irregularities, feel free to jump back in and enjoy!

COMMENTS / SUGGESTIONS / ETC

We'd love to hear some new category suggestions for the photo gallery (ones that fit within the photo posting guidelines), so please send them in!

KATRINA

A side not on the ongoing mess in New Orleans -- my parents STILL do not have electricity, water or sewage at their house! I mean, it's been 3 months now -- you'd think they could could get on the ball and get this done... and I can't believe the Senate had to DEBATE on whether or not to send more money to help these people out?! Ugh.
