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!


Lupe, what a woman!

I always thought that the Wolf pack's belief system is closer to a more aggressive form of Bhuddism. "Greed is the essence of the destruction of this planet, and Robotnik is the embodiment of this greed."

I was actually directing the query at Korben, since he asked the question "Who else thinks she's hot for a wolf chick from another planet?" This implies that wolf chicks from other planets are generally not hot. It is common knowledge that Korben generally thinks anything female is hot, so this is creating a major disturbance in the Force that could cause a catastophic destabilisation of time-space.

Oy, that's my life philosophy! Go get your own!

And yes, Korben's implication that wolf chicks from other planets are not hot does indeed cause a paradoxical transcendental concept that may infect the space-time continuum with an unsupportable viral concept.

Ergo, Earth wolves are also damn cute.

Yeah, isn't this kinda backwards? Most threads on the innernets start on some deep and relevant topic and then drift towards sex, not the other way around.

I haven't seen the episodes that she's in, so I can't really say much as to what I think of Lupe.

However, given that I'm a fan of Blaze the Cat in SegaSonic, I'm kind of happy that SatAM has its own "spiritual warrior woman" character.

I apologize if I was unduly harsh Korben. Just a think maybe you should make one topic for this sort of thing and contain it in there? Didn't intend to be mean but fear I was.

Oddly, I have a tendency to find anthro wolves of both sexes quite attractive. I guess I have thing sometimes for being physically drawn towards things that look like they could eat me, yet seem to have a certain natural beauty.

Bu-dum-tsssshhh! (Or, alternatively, dada-da-da-da-da!/"Bada-Bing!")

Wolves are pretty majestic as animals go. Though I don't get the usual obsession with either them or Foxes in Anthro art and such. I suppose it's the desire for that majesty and sheer power that makes people want to identify with them.

Nah, I think they just identify with foxes/wolves because they're weirdos. Me, I identify with Vampire Slayers. It's much more normal.

What?

I never really saw the point in adding the Wolf Pack into the series. IMO they felt like they were just around for the sake of telling/advancing a plot and killing some episodes. They didn't really connect with Sonic any of the main characters either, making it very difficult to add them into stories as anything more than plot devices.

The addition of the Wolf Pack was too close to the end of the second season for them to be more properly integrated, it would seem... Likely, they'd've been better assimilated had there been a 3rd or more season(s).


As to the wolf/human connection:
The connection that some people have to wolves typically stems from the fact that they're actually more like us than many people would care to admit. There are more similarities between wolf and human societies (including corporate structure) than most any other animals. There's a saying that when one looks into the eyes of a wolf, they can see a kindred spirit looking back at them. And in some cultures, the wolf is sacred. In some Native American tribes, killing a wolf was an equal offense to murdering a fellow tribe member.

Also, dogs are simply mutant wolves that humans have taken into their homes and often are made part of the family. So, "man's best friend" is actually a wolf. The bond between "dog" and man came into being while our ancestors were living in caves and had yet to actually invent anything. It's possible that early man actually learned things like teamwork and societal structure from the wolf...

So, is it really that difficult to understand why some of us still feel a connection to wolves?

And the foxes are typically folks who aren't strong enough to be wolves. Plus, all those vixens out there (note that the word "vixen" is also applied to an attractive female human)... Plus, many people see real foxes as a cute critter. And they've got a similar roll to Coyote in many cultures as a trickster/hero. So, they tend to be the more predominant "attractive" or "charming" type characters. Never mind that IRL, you're more likely to be attacked by a fox than a wolf... It's all about the common perceptions...

Personally, I thought/think Lupe was/is cute too and as someone else said, more age appropriate now. While I could overlook the Lupe 's Native Am-obian thing, it's Bunnie's Hollywood redneck thing that grated me to no end. Eergh.

Meh, I think Bunnie was a pretty positive portrayal of southerners. And calling her a "redneck" just because she has an accent proves my point. Bunnie doesn't go out in a pickup truck and make circles in the mud, or drink and cuss- all while bible thumping (the parts they want to thump) incessantly. And I never saw a confederate or "rebel" flag (as almost every proud redneck I've ever known calls it) in her hut. Or a thousand other typical "redneck" activities/traits.

One of the oddest attempts to make her "redneckified" in other media actually came in the lead-up to Mecha Madness.
In which she makes a reference to the Battle of Chickamauga, which is ironic because if you asked the average redneck about said battle they wouldn't know what the fuck you were talking about.
