So as a lot of you found out today...FUS was broken. Well to be honest the server was running perfectly fine. The issue however was in the domain. It kinda expired on us late last night. We had (or at least thought) we had it set up to auto renew but..Apparently we didn't. And of course all of the warnings of "your domain is about to expire" got emailed to John. Which didn't help much as he is (as a lot of you may know) currently in Afghanistan.
So after work today I went to go renew the domain... The little auto renew button wasn't working..Site kept timing out.. Annoying.
So I went to do what any frustrated person in my position would do....Went to a buddies and drank beer. Oh and ditched the problem on Bakuda's lap.
Well later on tonight Bakuda tried to get the thing to renew and had the same issue I did. However on his last attempt before he gave up for the night it worked. So yay. Domain is good for some while longer now.
On other news..The fact that the domain ran out means it was 4 years ago when myself and John took over the website. Wow...Time sure goes by past.
Thanks all for your support over the years.
Cheers,
Paul

To be fair, I didn't get nervous when I saw that the site was down. I knew that you guys would solve it

but glad FUS is back in order now.
Oh, and to celebrate, i decided to whip up a quick GIF haha:

Thank God that you were able to recover the site. For a moment, I thought the site faded away into the ever expanding void of expired websites on the internet. A terrible fate for many fan websites, including the website that translated the early Sonic manga.

I doubt FUS would disappear for good that suddenly. At least not unless chief, JonBob, and Bakuda had already disappeared for a while.

Course I don't get much of a say in those things. I just do the grunt work.

Well, Red, you can take solace in the fact that I definitely left you out of that list on purpose.

Well, really, it was because I didn't figure Red had much power over that sort of thing.
And because I'm a jerk.

Alison aka Sonique. She created FUS back in...I think 2000. Maybe 2001. Back then the site shared a forum with TSN (The SatAM Network) although that only lasted for ..less then a year before FUS got its ow forums.
