Introducing our Daily Dose Microsite

We've launched a new mobile friendly, stream-lined microsite for playing the Daily Dose at Phantasy Tour across all bands. Please check it out and share with your friends.

http://dailydose.phantasytour.com

At this time, this site is only for making your picks. Results and standings will be posted to phantasytour.com as always. Your picks are automatically associated with your PT account based on the email address you provide. In the event you wish to edit your picks, that must be done on the full site for the time being. Any and all feedback is encouraged and welcome.

If a band you follow doesn't have prediction games turned on and you would like them to be turned on, let me know.

Changes Coming to the Phantasy Tour Message Boards

For over two decades, Phantasy Tour has been a destination for live music fans to engage with their favorite bands and connect with other fans. We have long struggled with enforcing the rules for posting messages on Phantasy Tour’s message boards . The volume of content, diversity of opinions and technological work arounds make this especially challenging. As with any vibrant and active online community, discussions on our forums can often devolve into ugly exchanges.

We do not condone hate speech or illegal activities on our website. We have always had mechanisms for reporting content and have been committed to the timely review of all reported posts. When reviewing reported content, we strive to be as fair and objective as possible while also respecting freedom of expression. This is

Phantasy Tour Message Boards Update 1/19

Last week , we began requiring new Phantasy Tour members be granted permission to post to our message boards. This allows us to better enforce our rules by preventing a member that loses their posting privileges from returning immediately under a new account. This has already proven effective. In the past week, we've seen an increase in content flagged for moderator review. Thank you for reporting content that breaks our rules. In the last 7 days, we have reviewed 454 flagged threads/posts and removed 98 posts and 35 threads. Your reports and comments help us decide if and for how long a member should have their posting privileges revoked when they violate our rules. Please be patient as we compile and consider this information. This past week, we've also seen an increase in flagged content that does not explicitly violate a rule. Here are some things to keep in mind when reporting content: A flagged post is evaluated based upon the content of the post itself, not those that pr

New Message Board Layout and Design

We’ve been working to improve and modernize Phantasy Tour's layout and page design. We began this endeavor by collaborating with an independent user experience/user interface (UX/UI) designer to produce a style guide and composite designs for an entirely redesigned Phantasy Tour. Our goal is to provide a contemporary, intuitive and consistent sitewide design that scales seamlessly across various screen sizes. We've been releasing newly designed pages as they've been completed. So far, this includes the band home page, the band show list page, and the band setlist page among others. The message board thread list page and post list page are the two busiest pages on our site. We do not take making changes to these pages lightly. Our members have expressed strong opinions both for and against the current format and layout. Furthermore, it is imperative that these pages are optimized for performance due to the amount of traffic they see. Changes to these pages require thoughtf
