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!

I'm a fan of film. Some of my favorite movies are kinda freaky, and that's bleeding into the short films I'm making. And I plan on working in film as a career, so I plan on doing this forever.

That, and alliteration is awesome.

MaRaMa is the first 2 letters of my full name. Magda Ramirez Martinez. The idea came to me while a friend and I were deciding what to call ourselves in the game Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast and I liked it and it got stuck.

"TSG", meaning The Sonic Girl, which was a nickname I had at school around 7th grade or so and I keep it for nostalgic reasons. A very special friend would always call me "TSG" and say that'll be my famous name when I became so for my art. ^^;

Now I am well known as "Mara" all around and even in the real world because my teacher/best friend would call me that at class so others started repeating it too,(Actually his sons know me as Marama and call me so. I doubt they remember my real name and I find it amusing.) Eventually I got a belt buckle with "MARA" on it to wear often because I've grown fond of the name and will forever us it.

And since I actually sign my work with my initials "mRm" it's sort of sounds like Marama doesn't it?
Also, always have written the R larger than any other letter, it being my very favorite letter, for very obvious reasons. robotnik.gif

My teacher/friend is amusing RaFlMo. Sounds like roflmao. xD

And the friend I was gonna play PSO with got a cool one. SheCoRo(k), he added a K at the end to it sounded better.

My "StDaBy" would work better if there was more than one vowel in it.

"AdSuMo"

...... I am not certain as to how to judge that. There are too many ways to make fun of that one. (Not to mention that 'sumo' tends to bring general largeness to mind, and I am certain that everyone knows of my tenacious fixation on a particular tyrannical genius. robotnik.gif )

You can include a third letter when there aren't vowels on the first too. Like my friend SheCoRo instead of ShCoCo.
Or include a middle name too (I deny mine because I don't like it)
Either way, it's fun to play with. biggrin.gif

Also Sil, AdSuMo sounds like Assume to me(which it's Asumo in spanish)

I've almost always used Fauna as a username everywhere, and I think I only adopted it because it was close to my real name. Nowadays I wish I started using something more androdgynous... rolleyes.gif
