. ACCOUNT WIDE MOUNTS IN MOP.   Thanks for the heads up Exystredofar, Samskeyti.  Here's how I checked to see if it was server wide or account wide.

1 . i copied over a dk i knew didnt have tlpd. 
2 . i went to check the mail, just the level 80 gift pack was in there
3 . logged out of dk, logged in lock, logged back to dk
4 . had all pond's mounts on the dk.
5 . logged into a toon on another server i had copied and has no mounts really to check and see if it's account wide or server wide
6 . have all mounts first time logging in to that toon on a server no other toons had logged into.

aaaaand i'm done camping tlpd/aeonaxx/camel/poseidus forever.

image 1 = Samskeyti's mounts on a toon that didn't have them.
image 2 = Ponderance's mounts on the test DK on the server never logged in before.

. Tossed up 3 more pondbrains.  This one has information on the live servers I'm on at the moment.

. Added this Pondbrain.  I was thinking today, not that I should kiss Blizzard ass in hopes of scoring a Beta pass - which I'm not (but email me an invite if you want Blizz HAHAHA not holding my breath :D) - but that I have voiced a lot of my criticism without actually really voicing much of my praise for all the things I love about the game.  Granted, the post only contains a very brief overview of the huge amount of stuff that makes me happy in the game.  But it was a nice burst of joy, I think.  About as happy as I get.  :D

. BTW, on top of what I previously mentioned about the forum steadiness, there was a new updated to PHPBB recently.  Haven't personally had one problem yet. Even where I had a brick wall previously. So hopefully that smooths things out for anyone who may have rarely had a remaining issue on the boards. 

. Note: soon I'm going to post something on Pondbrain indicating what I've been doing in game the last several weeks.  Probably on the 11th.  It's nothing at all.  Just, some people might be interested to know I'm on their server now. (or, conversely, I may be interested to find out if people are on them I know.)

. [tri-site wide post]

TLPD
On the TLPD side of things I've been able to aggro TLPD various times on toons with TLPDs since I last commented publicly about wondering if there was a bug - turns out it was the good old server lag situation a few times where the server thought I was at position X and the server thought I was at position Y, thus, being out of range.  Very frustratin when trying to down TLPD a couple times on toons that didn't yet have it. - Note: no TLPDs I aggrod on TLPD having toons were wasted, all went to people and/or toons that didn't have it yet. --- Also thinking about making visual range graphics regarding current visual range of TLPD and Vyragosa as they are much bigger now than they were in early cata or wrath.  Dunno when I'll get to that though honestly, I'm sorry.

Aeonaxx
Nothing new to report on the Aeonaxx side of the word that I'm aware of.  Besides sadly, reports of spawns and despawns with people in both possible phases and both factions all witnessing it at the same time.  Still happening, but I guess bugs happen, right?  Just a heads up again on that, though it's immensely rare.

Regarding MoP
there (from what I understand) is a guild forming apparently from the Forums here, very small in scale so far it appears.  For checking out rares in the Beta.  I started this thread for people to coordinate from this site family.  Started this thread for general discussion on theory, discoveries, etc - to be branched off into threads for actual rares / drops / etc.  

Regarding the Forums
I would like to mention that the forums seem to be more stable after some changes the host did.  Hoping this maintains.  Either way, the data will be safe as the host has automatic backups and so on. That, I'm not worried about - being able to get forums back up if something catastrophic happens.

General
If anyone has any screenshots of camel figurines that fit the submission guidelines outlined here, please fire me an email.  If you have before (recently,) chances are I will get them posted today as I only have 2 or 3 that aren't.  Going to spend some time slipping in some cosmetic changes that probably wont really be noticed across the site family today.  Also going to try to get a couple more camel figurine locations marked on the map.  I've been really bad about keeping up on all of that and I apologize.

No, none of this is an april 1st gag.  Though, I considered putting up a crayon drawn version of the sites that I still have around from when I made people read hidden instructions in that splash screen some time back. end tl;dr post.

EDIT: 15:06
+ I updated Pondbrain.  It's long, hard, and full of bullshit probably.  If you get angry easily just skip it.  It's all opinion.

. Wiped out my RealIDs.  Down to less than 10 people.  Why?  I'm so beyond sick of seeing people using their status like a fucking chatroom, as if seeing one person's part in a conversation is awesome for 85% or more of most people's fucking lists.  Hey, ass holes who do this, think about others.  Most people don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.  Stop flooding people's fucking chatboxes.  Got it?  And if you're reading this and didn't think about it - please, for the love of everyone who constantly is seeing the one person's part of chatting, STOP IT.  And be assured I'm not the only fucking one who's sick of it.  You can make a chat room on RealID, did you know that?  Get these fucking people in a chat tab to talk over RealID.  It's not hard.  Save people the fucking trouble.

I'd rather just not take part in RealID overall with the way this thoughtless shit is spreading, so I just removed everybody but the vitals.  No offense to anyone, a lot of good people I like a lot were removed.  But I'm done seeing this shit at any cost, even if most of the people I took off are intelligent enough to, you know, fucking whisper someone or make a chatroom.  Or not fucking say shit.

That is all.

. Regarding chat in game and out of game, and especially in the chatroom we have here that takes up 4 lines for every 1, space wise, really. It already floods itself. So yes, we added a rule no flooding. I don't think that was even needed but apparently it was as just a moment ago I asked someone, please don't type 20 lines when it will easily fit on 2 or 3? Please? OMG! YOU CAN'T TELL ME TO CHANGE WHO I AM! blah blah blah YOU DON'T LIKE ME. I even fed into it and tried to tell them no no i like you fine blah blah NO, FUCK YOU, DON'T FUCKING FLOOD CHAT. It's a simple request. Please don't cry about it. Just don't flood chat. Don't flood wow chat, don't flood raid or guild chat. You don't have to hit enter every three fucking words. K? K thanks. Commas. Spaces. New sentences. They're the new thing. God damn it.

Too fucking early for this shit.

. The forums went from barely functional to the database apparently not even working. I'm seeing about what support has to say about it, but I'm not holding much hope. I'll look at other options. Next time I'll be paying for a forum where if shit goes wrong they have their own support that fixes it - because I don't have the time to study that and seems everbody I've talked to hates working on forums too. So.... If you have a god and like the forums, you can pray for them... :P
