When was that? Depending on when it was, it might have been a DNS issue. Those should be gone now.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

on*
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

Red said he couldnt get one
@  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

At least Optimus in TFP is still the same Optimus we know and like.

I think TFP Optimus is a bit better than the old Optimus. A bit more pragmatic.

Ahh Transformers movies. I knew they would find ways to screw that up too. Then again, they were basically fancy car commercials.

*gasp* We ARE friends, aren't we? Oh happy day. <3

Vis a vis the "Transformers" movies, I find it weird how many people are off-put by Optimus' aggressive streak in the Movies, considering
a.) most of the time, it's pretty appropriate to the situation.
and
b.) it's really not that divorced from his behavior in the original show. Half the time, the only reason that isn't more apparent is because the show was willing to allow convenient circumstance-like, say, Hot Rod screwing everything up-to prevent the opportunity from arising. Now, the Optimus of the G1 Comics? That's another story.

Never Read the comics...but the Autobots are supposed to be life loving robots (I know ironic huh?). He shouldn't butcher his enemies.

Never Read the comics...but the Autobots are supposed to be life loving robots (I know ironic huh?).

I don't know that "life-loving" is really the right word. To be certain, their primary goal is the defense of the Human Race, and they've taken in Decepticons who jumped ship and switched sides. At the end of the day, though, they've destroyed Life in the name of protecting the innocent multiple times; even in the original series, you have episodes like "Kremzeek", where even as one Autobot, Bumblebee, raises concerns about finding a non-violent solution, the Autobots ultimately decide to terminate an entirely new, seemingly-sentient life-form because of the threat it poses to the rest of the Planet.

Even in the Movies, though, I don't think it's fair to say Optimus "butchers" his enemies. Taking into account how big and powerful ALL Transformers, Autobot and Decepticon alike, show themselves to be, and how intense each and every battle becomes, at least to me it feels clear that whatever extremes Optimus goes to during the Fight are made understandable by the facts that every attack all combatants involved deliver could prove to be the killing blow and so, when the opportunity to deliver such a blow presents itself, one cannot afford to ignore it.

I'm not about to pretend I'm 100% comfortable with that myself, mind you, and I definitely feel like, under those circumstances, the films could afford to cut down on Optimus' in-fight dialogue. I just also think it's not as starkly "out of character" as some would have it.

It's not the killing blows it's the other ones. He doesn't just take opportunities to kill them...he lobs their arms off, guts them and then finishes them off. He should just be finishing them off.
