I have no idea why people would willingly use an image hosting site other than imgur. I've never had imgur give me any problems, it's simple, fast, and has no stupid bandwith limits to deal with.

Bandwidth?
BANDWIDTH???

I didn't know photobucket did bandwidth.... How RUDE! >:(
Not sure what to recommend for putting up the images.  :/

And I still not sure how to put a file into DFMA, usually I try and load a zip file  but that doesn't work.
Ah, there is a small program you can download from the front page.  What you do is go into Dwarf fortress and to your map and from the escape menu export the images, which will give you a bmp of each layer you select.  The DFMA program takes these and compresses them into a single small file, which is what you upload to the site.

For some reason, most of the images aren't working. Didn't know imgur could do that :(

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Hayseus.

That's quite the accomplishment man, you have built the dwarven equivalent of New York City.

Thanks for the kind words :)
Yeah the main tower was inspired by Art Deco buildings from NYC, so nice to hear that.
Really I was more surprised peopel didn't seem to pick up on some of the 'Stories" posted.
I mean, a Caveswallow Man taking out a Forgotton beast with a shield... a WOODEN shield.
And of course a single rogue Elephant that terrorized the whole city :P

With reference to OP's vomit disease crisis: Some dwarfs in my fortress contracted beast sickness with 'out of beath' symptoms and then feinting, after which they get carried to the hospital. Sometimes they regain consciousness in hospital and sometimes even before someone arrives to carry them to hospital.

Problem is, it seems it is contageous as my fortress has changed from ~180 idle dwarfs when things are calm to ~50 idle with numbers falling... and as a result so are food stocks (~410 dwarf total population btw).

I'm a noob at the forums and prolly at the game too... but still, please, if there's a cure, let me know what/how to achieve it. I'm slowly and incredibly frustratingly losing my, now 22 year old fortress to this ever spreading disease.

You have made dwarves and overlordsseers everywhere proud! Next up, make a tower in HFS that connect to the main fortress.

Okay fine, maybe I'm too lazy to find something to put here.

You know... That, that might JUST be a project worth doing!

Oh sure, at this point people have "conquered" the HFS, even made garden with freaking strawberries in HELL.
But building a Tower from bottom to top giving a big "BUKC YOU" to the clowns?
I like htis.
