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 was oafing around on the internet and i happened upon THIS

I cant tell whether he's being ironic about the amount of people complaining about what has the chance to become an enjoyable game, or if he really is that stupid tongue.gif

Thoughts?

OMFG!!! These are the type of people who piss me off!! They're complaining about the littlest things, and it's pathetic. The only thing I have to say to them is SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! We're finally getting a game that we've waited for, for 16+ years now, Sonic's model will NOT change, it's the way it is, and it will stay that way until SEGA decides to change it again, Eggman, Robotnik, who gives at FUCK what name you call him, he has been Sonic's main nemisis for years, so just live with it, DON'T EVEN get me started on the eyes, that is all, THANK YOU!!

I hope people can tell this guy's being ironic and picking fun at all the stupid shit the vast majority of fans are griping about with Sonic 4. Ah well, only time will tell if it'll be as good a game as I hope.

Not a doubt in my mind that is is satire of the incredibly unpleasable fanbase that is Sonic the Hedgehog.

Take for example, the end of the article, and in my opinion, the cherry on the icing.

On the subject of the fact that Robotnik is going to remain named as Eggman:

Dude. Chill out. The guy at Destructoid was probably trolling. Honestly, those reasons were way too stupid to be real.

And even if it were legit instead of a troll, would it really matter? Some people are morons. There's stupidity a lot worse everywhere you look.

Sadly, (and I cringe to say so wink.gif) I would have to agree with you there. Stupidity in the real world is a bit worse than that.

I agree. I don't think he is being 100% serious. At the end its kind of obvious that he is just being ridiculously nit-picky.
Granted I do agree with his last point. Eggman should be Robotnik and it will effect game play.

Yeah "this just in" is usually (including here) a phrase used sarcastically. We all know it was leaked weeks ago.

Yeah, but the context is usually slightly different... it's usually used in response to something somebody said that was obviously wrong/ignorant/whatever. Like, "I wonder if the soundtrack is any good." "This just in: it was leaked a week ago." Valerie was using it out of the blue.

Out of the blue? It depends on where your priorities in a game lie. But even if music isn't important to an individual player it must be admitted that in almost every case where a shitty soundtrack is a shitty game is sure to follow. It's a crucial part of the game experience and if a company botches or overlooks it they're probably much more likely to botch/overlook bad gameplay and story as well.
