Well, lookiee what comes back around again, nearly full-circle. 
In my opinion, the DPT thing has run its course. Warryyr started it in a flash of brilliance, exactly what the community needed at that point in time. The extension to a Dancer DPT came after I'd made some tongue-in-cheek post about having a kind of FRS for dancers involving Light dancers (ATK) and Dark Side dancers (bots). I think it was Eshie at that point who nominated me as DDPT, and after some egging on by a few others, I picked up the Dancer end of things. All in good fun.
No one dev-sideever said anything to me about the DPT thing. When I became the Dancer Correspondent, I voluntarily dropped the 'title' just in case the humor level wasn't present. And really, it was more like trading one title for another. No big thing, nothing to sweat, and the devsprobably got as much a kick out of the whole thing as we all did. No harm, no foul.
Now, however, is not the time for the DPT angle. Now is the time to act on the professions' behalf, as much as you can, by following Eshie and Pan's lead. Now is the time to do your best to help shape things while much of the game is in flux and still malleable... however much time may be left for change to occur this round. We did our DPT thing amidst the vast silence and lack of response from the devs at that time. Now is the time to be heard, not to play the old game from when we were not.

And smiles, everyone... smiles!

Fuschia's post about the NS bicep conversion in the Armor Conversion Bug Thread was dead-on what we need right now. It spoke 100% to the points I had made on the topic in the corr forum. It was not negative, threatening nor did itquestion anyone's sanity. You guys know what issues we've discussed here and that I've brought attention to them to the devs. Give them positive stuff to speak to in the test threads. And remember, guilt, threats and anger won't get cooperation.

Oh man but some of those DPT questions and answers were hilarious! Can we have a separate "Devs don't look here because we're just mucking about" thread? I'm sure the devs have a sense of humor. If they didn't surely they would have gone insane by now since they live in a world where their deadlines are not determined by fellow game developers and programmers 
Oh well, maybe we'll just have to get our Former DPT's to use their humourous creative powers for good instead of evil
