@  furrykef : (25 July 2015 - 03:35 AM)

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

I shrink Amy to 1/100th size then sit her on Robotnik's chair at the beginning of Heads or Tails  just before Robotnik sits his ultra-maximus rotund arse of uncalculable weight down. She becomes infinitesimal slimy spot of goo on Robotnik's buttocks for all eternity. And guess what, no one noticed and no one will ever speak of that pink nightmare again.

 

Sonic and Sally live together happily ever after.

 

Period. End. I mean it. This means you. :velvet:

 

 I would deem this as canon...though EoT has Amy in it (but it is very different Amy).  Amy Rose no contest against Sally, but Amelia Rosethorn that could be challange.

 

 

Do I have to put her under Robotnik's arse too? Just try me, you know I'll do it. Don't tempt me, there's more than enough room for another pink nightmare under/up that butt. :grrr:

Dang, you know, I could fit all of Sega's lame game cast under there too. Hmmmnnnnn.

Flattened under one Titanic butt cheek in a single comic panel, and then we'll never speak of them again.

 

 

 Oh boy...you're not gonna like when you see her woo somebody else special to you, come season ones end... and it gets hesitantly reciprocated.

 

But I don't think it would work, she's pretty tough...I'll give the juicy details later.

 

Shall we make a hit list?

It would be easier if I listed the characters I want to save from Robotnik's bottom.

 

Oi, from now on when I see Robotnick sit down I can't help but hear that pink nightmare being flattened to oblivion by his flabby buttcheeks. I should commission an artist to draw this joyous event. (There she is caterwauling in her normal angry manner. Suddenly a giant object eclipses the sun and darkens the landscape; it's Robotnik's butt! As big as life and twice as hairy! She tries to flee in terror, but there is no escaping a butt of that size. Switching to Robotnik, "Any hint of that troublesome Hedgehog?")

 Tries to hide the fact he get paid for artistic commisions.  xD 

 

We all know he's larger than life.

 

I don't know...remember I broke her, but I rebuilt her. What happens now...I can't say. I designed Amelia to be loved by Satam fans, and Sonsal fans. She even likes people besides Sonic, and ain't one for breaking up relationships. Not to mention she would die for Sally Acorn, and is a fiercly passionate Freedom Fighter. Inronically she has the fan-girl crush on Sonic and was influenced alot by him, but her everyday role model quickly becomes Sally when she finally meets the Freedom Fighters.  

 

She is also an unsalvagable (yes, that is an end joke, you may luagh), meaning she is immune to Roboticzation, and carries the potential cure for a certain disease with in the series as well.

Honestly? I'm not really supportive of either. I like the idea of Sonic and all other characters remaining single so as to leave it open to fan interpretation. If the Archie comics are any indication, romance also isn’t handled well in the Sonic universe and any feelings of attraction are best left implied rather than becoming the focus of a story.

 

I’m not against couplings but I generally don’t advocate them much either. The only coupling I like that I’ve actually put much thought into is Ebony and Super Sonic from Sonic the Comic (I mean seriously, who can say no to devotion like that?). While I also appreciate Sonic x Knuckles and Shadow x Tails, I do not have the vaguest idea how either would work out and do not advocate them as official in any way. :P

First:  Thank you for bring the topic back on track xD

 

 

Honestly? I'm not really supportive of either. I like the idea of Sonic and all other characters remaining single so as to leave it open to fan interpretation. If the Archie comics are any indication, romance also isn’t handled well in the Sonic universe and any feelings of attraction are best left implied rather than becoming the focus of a story.

Fair.  While personally I believe romance helps drive a story, Archie likes to stick with what it knows best...Betty-Archie-Veronica Triangle.  While that works in some cases (I never really had a problem with the Mina Romance Arc minus that it was kinda one sided on Mina's part), when that's the only Romance pattern since Antoine-Sally-Sonic, it kinda becomes Par of the Course, on top of that it is usually done pretty bad (Sally apparently lead Khan on just to dump him for Sonic, I feel that could have been worked out better). 

 

 

I’m not against couplings but I generally don’t advocate them much either. The only coupling I like that I’ve actually put much thought into is Ebony and Super Sonic from Sonic the Comic (I mean seriously, who can say no to devotion like that?).

I could because I have no idea on who she is.  But that's my biased-haven't-read-more-than-two-issues-of-StC opinion.

 

 

While I also appreciate Sonic x Knuckles and Shadow x Tails, I do not have the vaguest idea how either would work out and do not advocate them as official in any way. :P

Same boat.  I don't mind fans pairing up their favorite characters, but I just don't see how some of these would come about.

I believe castrating the characters castrates the story. Relationships reveal the truest depths of a character and what they are willing to fight, stand for, and change for. If you take their ability to love each other, you take away one of the soul sources of drama and character progression. It's not about the fight ever . That's writing 101 guys... It's what there fighting for. Who there fighting for.

 

 Honestly, as a writer. I go with this stance: let the character’s make the decision and back off.

 

 Once you create a character they obtain a life of their own on the pages, they build a dramatic throughline and a momentum of personality that makes them their own. Trust me, when you get about 365 pages into a work (Ever done this before? I have quite a bit. So trust me on this.) Character's are now making their own decisions. By then you are a dramatic stenographer (if you've done it right; if not, you probably wouldn't have made it this far anyways). I support Sonsal because I support Sonic as a character. Everything else is incredibly contrived, forcing Sonic into a mold that breaks the limbs and bones of his personality into a mangled heap. Force your egocentrisms on a character and that character dies - and it just becomes a pathetic self-insert fan-fic, your mere wish-fulfillment wondering around in the hollowed skin of what use to be the character like some wicked wendigo. Then by proxy all the characters just becomes a slave to your own solipsism. That is why fan-fics are infamous as they are, because they are net-publicized self-absorption. That is also why I have disdain for Sonamy; it spits on Sonic's face as a free and independent character that doesn't want to be tied down to a codependent stalker-girl. Yet, Sally and Sonic were written to complement each other and better each other as unique characters. I would rather see them together, than have my own immature fantasy's tickled. Young, I learned some things from Sonic and Sal about being in a relationship, how it can be rocky and their can be friction when two forces meet - but in the end they support each other and edify each other, and - um - refresh each other ;). That, is what relationships are about. They force you to grow beyond yourself and care for others. If we support people creating mindless simulacrums in a plodding plot you kill the characters as people in the story and are left with glorified play to some form of twisted fun house mirror-image of narcissistic love and, ick, glorified highly idiosyncratic autoerotism. And that just doesn't hamper characters, it ultimately hurts the readers. Most of the people I have ever met that were in to shipping actually were horribly selfish partners in real life. When it comes to examples, I have to keep them private. They have that much gravity, and it would be wrong of me to the gory and gossipy details. Let's just say it’s abusively selfish. I guess it's like psychopaths that start out young abusing animals, first you start with your fictions then you upgrade to selfishly manipulating people in reality.  Shipping can easily become some form relational sociopathy, especially when the person engaged in the shipping has never been in a real relationship and is just developing a desire to be with others. Also note that most Sonamy fans, slaves to the first relationship they see, reflect her character. Poor doating girls are gonna let a man walk all over them someday. :(

 

 By the way, I hate shipping in general for this. And I find the people behind the digital veil as... upsetting. The only relationship I have ever been vocal in supporting about is Sal's and Sonics because it has potential to show people what a relationship is really like. In sense you ca call it anti-shipping. xD

 

Also, no one mentally and morally sane would sodomize a guy with quills that could cut steel. :( Just sayin'.  Actually I think anybody that engages in that act is going to have...a crappy day.

I disagree and agree.  Yes the "what they're fighting" for is always the story, but the "who" is not.  I've read some pretty good books that the romance is hardly part of the story at all.  Romance is a way to develop a character, but not the story itself.  Unless you're writing a Romance story, the romance should serve to help a character learn and grow and shouldn't be focused on any more than needed.
