@ 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
@ 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!

Have we got any headbangers here? (except me and ManicDeathThrash

) and if so what's your favorite type of Metal?

I'm into Thrash, Death and plenty of NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) like Judas Priest, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden. m/

Heehee, I love Iron Maiden, and lots of Heavy Metal. I'm not really restricted to a certain type, just as long as I don't find it annoying in some fashion I'll probably love it.

Death, gothic, old school, heavy, etc. Stuff like Cradle of Filth, Graveworm, Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse, Nile etc.

And of course Iron Maiden. Im actually going to a Maiden concert in June. First concert since I saw Cradle of Filth over a year ago, so itll be good

My name says it all. My two favorite metal sub-genres are easily thrash and death metal. Some of the best thrash bands IMO are old Kreator, Dark Angel, early Sepultura (everything past "Arise" SUCKS), Morbid Saint, early Sodom, Hypnosia, old Sadus, old Slayer, Coroner, and Watchtower. Some of the best death metal bands are early Morbid Angel, Nocturnus, Death, early Deicide (though their newest album is their best to date), Pestilence, Gorguts, Atheist, Cynic, Thanatos, Necrophagist, Ashpyx, and early Suffocation.

Though the "extreme stuff" is my favorite, I still love classic metal like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead etc. because they kick ass and sound great. I don't have any special rules for what makes great metal (and music in general), the most important factor is that it sounds good, then everything else comes into play (catchiness, technical skill, meanings of lyrics etc.).

I'm iffy with prog-metal because while bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, and Pain of Salvation definitely have talent, they get boring after a while. I've had Opeth's "Blackwater Park" for two years now and I might have listened to the whole album ONCE, while I've had Nocturnus's "The Key" for about the same amount of time and I've listened to the whole album at least 50 times. If you like this stuff, that's fine, but for better alternatives, I suggest Coroner, Cynic, late Pestilence, Nocturnus, late Death, Watchtower, and Atheist for starters because while they're progressive and technical as all hell, they don't make you want to sleep.

I detest goth metal (Type O Negative, Cradle of Filth etc.), groove metal (Pantera, Machine Head, Devil Driver, Hellyeah etc.), industrial metal (Rammstein, Ministry, Marilyn Manson etc.), mathcore (Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan etc.), metalcore (Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying etc.), and deathcore (Despised Icon, Job For a Cowboy). I didn't put nu-metal on the list because while it's indeed much worse than any of those I mentioned above, it's not really metal (same thing with toughguy hardcore, it's not really metal but it sucks a lot). I hate these not to fit in with thrash and death metal elitists, but because I've listened to many from each sub-genre and none of them sound good.

If I had the talent to play guitar, I'd definitely start up a technical thrash metal band similar to Coroner because there needs to be more tech-thrash.

I'd say thrash, but I don't particularly have a favourite genre of metal, though I probably have at least a couple bands from most of them. I find most of the stuff I like are the classics; Iron Maiden, Sepultura, Slayer, Pantera and some NWOBHM. I like some Death Metal; Cannibal Corpse, Nile, a bit Morbid Angel and The Berzerker, but most of it just blends all in together for me. Also like Cradle of Filth and my favourite band is Rammstein, so screw you ManicDeathThrash.

Also throw AC/DC into that list, even if they aren't metal.

Even though they aren't metal, AC/DC is one awesome band

I'm not sure if any of you guys heard, but Judas Priest release their new album in June, apparently it's a double album based on the life of Nostradamus

I'm not sure how you can make a double metal album out of that, but if anybody can, it's the Priest!

....Baroque metal? intriguing.....

Also, I'm not sure if Rammstein actually counts as a metal band, they always sounded more industrial rock to me.

I quite like Metallicas early albums (Kill 'Em All-Black Album) after that they got WAY too soft.

Well, too each his own, I guess.

Is anybody into power metal? The only power metal band I really like is Manowar, but many times (well actually, ALL the time) their lyrics go to new heights not even Spinal Tap could dream of topping, but over then that they are a pretty good band.

Power Metal is fun to listen to, but it is far too prone to double-bass and guilar/bass guitar shred spamming so they often sound plain and not too well-thought out.

Yea Power Metal is good. But Im not a huge fan of it.

Has anyone been to http://www.icebergradio.com/ Its a really good radio station, Has all sorts of stuff on there.. Actually over a 100 stations I think.

Anyways, they have a good metal selection. From stations going from power, black death, hair bands, etc etc

I can't say I'm a power metal fan, though there's not really any PM bands that I downright hate, except for Dragonforce. Dragonforce has all of power metal's worst traits (cheesy lyrics about fantasy stuff, flowery guitar riffs and keyboards etc.) and every video game nerd and otaku thinks Herman Li and Sam Totman are the greatest guitarists ever. Li and Totman have SOME talent, but rely way too much on enhancement in the studio to make themselves sound better than they really are, and they're some of the biggest ego maniacs ever (especially Li). Fuck them.

Does anyone here listen to grind? I'm slowly getting into it, the grind bands that I'm listening to now are early Napalm Death, early Carcass, Terrorizer, and Repulsion. Carcass has to be my favorite of the bunch because not only were they masters of their craft, but they'd change their sound with each album while still sounding great. As far as being repulsive, Carcass's first three albums make Cannibal Corpse (sonically and lyrically) sound like Bon Jovi.

Not me! Hell, I play Guitar Hero 3 all the time, and think Through the Fire and Flames is one of the better songs in the setlist, but I certainly do not think the band itself has much actual talent.

Great songs, horrible band.
