@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM) Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM) As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) So when's the black theme coming back??
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) "Should"
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM) That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. Now we should be back for good, though.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM) Or it might be because Bluehost finally got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM) Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@ Misk	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM) No, they do not.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM) The goggles do nothing?
@ Misk	:	(22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM) My eyes.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM) Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM) Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM) It looked like a napkin
@ ILOVEVHS	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM) Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM) As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM) No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am so mad at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they still haven't answered it!
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM) Maybe he did that himself
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM) Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM) Finally!
@ RedMenace	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM) Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

Well, to me, this is a very, truly sad day...This was a very normal, realistic (most of the time) sort of show that was never something meant to make someone fall out of their chair from laughing, but I will still miss it greatly...

I can't believe it was cancelled...and worse than that...it was cancelled to make room for more trash from Seth MacFarlane, although I did like Family Guy and do still watch it from time to time...King of the Hill just had far superior writing...

Anyone else sad to see it go?

I liked KOTH a lot, though I don't mind it ending.. it had a good run, and after 13 seasons it's about time to move on. The creators have moved on to other projects, so it's just as well. I'll miss it, but I'd rather see it go out on a high note than go on too long.

Nothing lasts forever. I like the show, but I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has.

You wont see me shedding any tears. I never really found the show interesting, in fact, I might say that I found it downright boring and uninteresting. And I must say that I too, am quite surprised it lasted as long as it did.

..Now Beavis and Butt-head-- THAT should've lasted 13 seasons

Well, FOX animation just committed suicide in my eyes. Now there's no reason left for me to watch it now.

I didn't even realize they were still making new episodes. The only time I watch is the reruns on F/X. Still, I'm gonna miss it a lot, too; I find a kindred soul in Bill (or as he was once called, the Billdozer *cue "Iron Man"*).

As far as Seth MacFarlane's stuff is concerned, "Family Guy" made me laugh once upon a time, but I stopped caring when I realized there was no plot or depth or even many actual jokes. Same goes for "American Dad" and will probably be the same with whatever new drek they cart out.

I hate to say this, but American Dad is probably the only most watchable thing on FOX for me now, since its something that is barely tolerable for my tastes.

Not really. I liked the show. It had many good episodes. But it did not out-trump family guy. FG does something that many can't do as well as they can. They keep tabs on the net and see what the average person is watching. When Peter goes back in time to save his marriage, what song did they play? Not any song, but one by Rick. The vary same song that was used to fool us all has been placed on screen. Seth and the rest of the writers make good choices in what they write about, and how to reference many other works. Now, you can not like the show as much as KOTH. You can say all you want, just like I can say all I want about Brittany Spears. But You can't doubt that because of the constant tabs of Seth keeps on the fads of today they know how to write episodes that people will watch,just like I can't deny that Brit still sells music. Family Guy has taken the ideas of the Simpsons and gone father then they ever have.

You know what they should do? Make a movie that sums up, ties up lose ends. I want to see Lue-Ann have that baby. And how will Bobby grow up? What will he be?
EDIT: Was looking for more into on the reason of its end, and found thishttp://www.rte.ie/ar...gofthehill.html According to the article, they have been axed more then once only for Fox to turn around and say "Ok, come on back" Even the creator's say it might not be time yet.

Didn't like the adults in the show. Kids are much cooler imo. Stopped watching it after awhile because it felt like it was getting too serious and simply wasn't as interested to beging with.

It was no home improvement kinda show if there's a comparision.

I'll miss KOTH when it's gone, it was one of the best animated shows on network TV. As for those saying King' is better than Family Guy, I agree. On a funny note, my dad looks like Bill Dautreve.

Never was a huge fan. Just one of those shows I watched for the sake of watching. Sucks that its being replaced for more crap, but I won't really miss it.

Amen to that. The Simpsons spent the last decade going from being the best show on television to being the worst show on television.

As for KOTH getting cancelled, I haven't watched it in forever so I wouldn't know if it's a bad or good thing. When I did watch it, it was a truly great show. Animation was good; the characters were a little more well drawn than other animated sitcoms.

I think what made it stand out was that it was rare mix of humor and heart. It was one of the very few sitcoms about normal, decent people that was actually funny. The humor was character-driven and the show had concern for its characters. Unlike Family Guy which lacked emotional substance and specialized in referential gags that any fool can make. An effective M.O. that works, but doesn't warrant respect.
It also stood out as a rare instance of decent conservative humor. For the most part, liberals tend to be funnier than conservatives are, and thus dominate comedy. This show managed to be staunchly conservative while not coming off like a strained, dogmatic piece of trash trying to compensate for lack of representation (eg: "This Just In")

I meant to comment on this but have been away, I'll just say right out I never liked this show mainly because of the views it coddled. At first when it came out it seemed to be about Hank Hill learning to live in the real modern world, but grasping for an audience/niche it might actually hold onto things changed to where Hank was always *right* it was like "All in the Family" doing a complete reversal.
(it seemed at least to be mostly upfront with it's conservative agenda though, unlike some more recent offerings from South Park, which hides behind foul language and claims of irreverence)

Worst of all "Redstate knows best" wasn't even funny when it wasn't trying to tell us of the evils of porn or stereotyped foreign neighbors (they threw a bone here having an episode showing the difficulty of the citizenship tests, worth it to enter the greatest country on earth of course) and their Americanized/tamed offspring who just want to escape their parents evil culture and become average joe americans.
Oh, and of course non-renewable energy resources are god! I think the sagging but still better Simpsons said it best- "Bobby, I've got propane in my urethra."

"I really think of life as a great expression of joy. And if you take yourself seriously you're going to be defeated I'm afraid.
...Maybe that is the whole recipe of life, is to be in on the joke. Because life is a joke and if you're not in on it you're out.
But if you're in on it, you can make it." - Vincent Price

I got to be honest here... Family guy is made for stupid people who can not understand smart humor. I can make it through 1 episode and I'm sick of it. It does make me laugh at parts, but after 1 show I'm done.

American Dad... god damnit why is that still on? It sucked from the start, It sucks now.. Its made for even more stupid people then family guy for christ sake..

King of The Hill actually had some thinking humor in it that I like. I'm not a dumb ass I can understand thinking jokes. To be honest jokes that involve "fart humor" shall I say are for retards, and I hate to be put into that group.
