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.

@  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)

@  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!

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

Its okay to disagree, but, trivializing someone else's opinion without doing much to back it up kind of borders flaming territory.Don't agree with an opinion? Fine. Think storyline is trivial? Again, fine. But why talk condecendingly to another person when you're not going even try to back up your opinion in a civil fashion?


QUOTE
I wonder if it would be a bad thing if they did re-introduce Shadow into this Sonic 4 game. I mean, if they did so in the same way as, say, Knuckles was introduced into the series.


Only Shadow's character and present status quo relied heavily on the mainstream's prior storylines, hence why many people probably didn't want him in this game. Chip included. Part of what gets me and other naysayers suspicious about Sonic 4 isn't just the new-aged design models for Sonic and Robotnik/Eggman. It also has to do with the fact that SoJ not only encouraged these kinds of characters, they limited who could be selected to only present-game exclusives (And not counting just SoA/SoE characters being excluded either, other classic characters who haven't been featured in the spin-off series such as Nack/Fang the Sniper, Ray the Flying Squirrel, and Mighty the Armadillo weren't even considered). If this is genuinely supposed to attract old-school fans, why weren't these people freely inquired about who it was they wanted in this? Why didn't SEGA at the very least broaden the selection of characters available?

John check your PM, master87's history of trolling the sisters is well known and insulting/belittling Miko's opinions (even if now sneakily doing so indirectly) twice in two minutes is quite a large coincidence to swallow.

I'm not much of a sonic fan. I think this might be good or it could just be a halfhearted cash in attempt like Sonic's last 10 games. Konami recently allowed projects like this for Rocket Knight Adventures as well as their prominent remixes/reimaginings of Contra and Castlevania games. And of course the success of the retro Mario games have almost certainly highlighted the viability of 2D play-style in Sega's eyes. It just remains to be seen if A.) Anyone at Sega today can pull it off correctly and B.) If they actually did.

I don't know what this whole mess was about, but I think that Chaosmaster is full of it with his sarcastic comment. As simple as the story and premise of Sonic 1 was, it's a lot more coherent and easy to understand than the contrived bullshit they threw in to justify stupid cunting crap like Shadow with a gun, Sonic with a sword or Sonic as a werewolf. I'd have to hit myself in the head with a hammer several times before I could find those premises any good.

It would be nice if Sonic actually have a good narrative to it that is coherent, sensible and accesible to people of all ages, but that takes a back seat to the gameplay, and this is all I care about in this upcoming game. No retarded camera angles, no balls-to-the-wall dumb gimmicks, just Sonic, plain and simple. I would like for the homing attack to be more of a powerup attack myself, like the fire powerup from Sonic 3 & K, but that's pretty minor.

You and this poster publically belittled her and she thought this matter had to be addressed in public to communicate to everyone that such behavior is not tolerated through public example.

She did listen to your advice before, look where that got her? She "chilled out" after what you did earlier here, and her reward for it? More people like this troll hopped on your bandwagon and got a blind eye when he starts snarking at her in not one, but TWO topics. Your advice didn't work so she wanted you to tell the troll to STFU.


Anyhoo, onto the subject of Sonic 4. I was really hoping that it'd be a rebirth of the series, since it would've been a good way to start that by means that weren't confusing to the fans. I was hoping that we'd finally be rid of this japanime Sonic influence and have something with a more simplistic, universal appeal. That doesn't mean Sonic has to go retro. Sonic feels nowadays like an anime, the franchise doesn't even really feel like it's for us.

I kinda like the idea of Sonic getting upgraded moves as the stages progress.

Hows this sound. I agree with John. If anyone wants to make some defence thing up in here like you just did Viuely, you will get banned too. John said to PM him so PM him if you wish to bitch about something he did.


Thats it. No more discussion on that in here or you are banned from in here. PM John or me, seeing as John made the choice to do it, PMing him would probably be more usefull. However I would recomend not twisting some shit up into a 10 paragraph thing quoting every word he wrote.

Done. Yay! Continue on with whatever this topic is about.

"Comic" (using photos at the last) if you want to play semantics, but as John and Chief said take it to PM masterblaster. Let's not derail the topic.

I don't give a flying fuck about the "story" or if they call Robotnik Robotnik or Eggman, all that's important to me is that jumping on the robots and making them go "POP" is FUN. It would be ideal if jumping on robots makes cute animals pop out, but hell, even this is optional.

I really hope it'll be a good game that bridges the gap between Sonic then and Sonic now, but odds are, given SEGA's track record that things aren't going to be as good as we'd like. On the subject of Eggman vs Robotnik, the original Japanese name is EGGMAN, ergo, I have no problem with them not using the localized name since that's not what it was meant to be anyway. The New Sonic look is just semantics, so who gives a shit... I like the look of the levels, makes me think of Sonic 2, and I really hope whoever the other character is makes sense. Here's some cautious optimisim that it'll be a good game.

I think everything should be fine as long as the game focuses on the Sonic vs. Robotnik conflict, and doesn't involve some sort of dark god that Sonic has to beat up.

Wise words. I don't think anyone plays Sonic games for the gripping narrative. People play Sonic games to enjoy the gameplay.

Though I do think it's cool that this game takes place after the Death Egg Saga. I suppose that places it before Sonic Adventure 1?

My best guess is that it's somewhere after Sonic 3 and before Sonic CD (very general I know), but the real semantics of it depend on what you count in the continuity of Sonic (Spinball, Bean Machine, etc...). I could timeline Sonic as best as I can right here and now.

Sonic
Sonic 2
Sonic 3&K
Sonic 4 Ep1
Sonic CD
Sonic 3d Blast
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Shadow the Hedgehog
Sonic Riders
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
Sonic Unleashed

Seperate Timeline

Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic the Hedgehog (06)

Sonic DS Series

Sonic Rush
Sonic Rush Adventure
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Sonic Storybook Series

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Sonic and the Black Knight

And this doesn't try to make sense of all the spinoff games and such that wouldn't fit into some kind of continuity. With three (nay, four) seperate universes (more if you really want to nitpick SoJ fans) things get more than a little complicated. The Sonic Storybook Series can more or less fit anywhere, so it's actual placement could be up for debate indefinitely (as they're more of an "odd adventure that could happen anywhere" kind of thing) hence their placement on the bottom just to help it make more sense. Up to a certain point, the Sonic timeline's pretty straightforward, but the closer you get to SA the wierder things get (proof of SEGA's general carelessness for timelines or continuity (in addition to there being no real need for it)). A more in depth timeline could be drummed up at a later date, just to prove how much of a nerd I am...
