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!

Of course they added Klingon.

Is there any practical use for knowing klingon?

Yes actually. Klingon is actually a fully developed language. While knowing the language itself isn't that useful learning the la gauge helps you with language skills

Actually, I heard they created Klingon as an experiment to see how a language (any language) is developed. Now they teach it as a means to show how languages as a whole work, like Red said.

Now they just need to add languages like Draconic and Drow and it'll be perfect.

While that's true, that's also true of other languages that people actually speak. :P

If you want to learn a language no one uses, Latin would be a far better choice, IMO. It's a much richer language with a vast body of literature.

Actually, I heard they created Klingon as an experiment to see how a language (any language) is developed.

That would seem to conflict with its explicit aim of being as "alien" as possible. Okrand deliberately imbued the language with features that few Earth languages, if any, have.

I'm sick of all this Kilngon stuff. Kilngon dictionary, Klingon Monopoly, Klingon websites, JUST STOP!

Where's the Huttese love?

Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

It's still the best Progressive commercial. And considering how funny Flo is, that's saying something.
