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!

Nique, I want to thank you very, very much for introducing me to this show.

Seriously, it's better than SatAM. It's so wonderful, so heartwarming, so adorable, I've rewatched the entire series three times and can still smile the entire 20 minutes of it's wonderful episodes.

Brohoofs for everypony!


Whoa! I'll agree with the "so wonderful, so heartwarming, so adorable" part but it is NOT better than SatAM! -.-

...

With that said, Twilight Sparkle & Pinkie Pie are my favorites. ^.^

Yeah the art and animation is cheap but tbh, it's a really good show. It's not as kiddy as the original. It's something the family can enjoy. It doesn't have as much magicy mythical stuff as the original, but it's not as all srs as that My Little Pony Tales show...

It's good. It's cute. It made me smile. I like it... and I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it out.


Thanks to people like you, I have. And I'm now a brony too... The first thing I noticed in the pilots was THEY LOOKED LIKE THE FREAKING POWERPUFF GIRLS!!! So, I looked it up and sure as hell, the show was created and voiced by alot of the people involved in that show (including mention of Craig McCracken).

Needless to say, I liked what I saw. I just wish they would've saved the big bad evil villain for the season finale instead of using her to launch the show. I know that's what they did in the original, but I think it would've been better to go the Tenchi Muyo route there. Overall though, the series is pretty good, and the humor is actually alot more adult than I thought it would be, with all the movie references and everything.

HEY! I'll have you know that isn't bronies at all! We wouldn't kill for Applejack! We'd kill for Rainbow Dash!


THAT'S not a Brony.



THIS is a Brony. Also, it's extremely disturbing, even if you ARE a Brony. I knew it'd just be a matter of time before Pinky Pie snapped. So here we have it. A cautionary tale. Just because it's cute doesn't mean it can't kill you.

Before you start watching, just for the record, I really do like Rainbow Dash, and this wasn't made by me.
A Winner Is You!!!

All I have to say is this. Blame Lauren Faust for being an amazing writer which makes us like the show. And don't mess with Fluttershy, if you know what's good for you.

I am shocked and amazed at how viral this My Little Pony obsession has reached. I'm a grown man, and watching a few minutes of this show is damaging to my sanity. Yet we see 20 to 30 year old males enjoy this, this scares the hell out of me, I mean seriously this is a show for little girls.


The mastermind behind this show Lauren Faust had this to say:

“This might be a little short-sighted on my part, but I just assumed that any adult man who didn’t have a little girl wouldn’t even give it a try,” Faust said in a phone interview. “The fact that they did and that they were open-minded and cool enough and secure in their masculinity enough to embrace it and love it and go online and talk about how much they love it — I’m kind of proud.”

I dunno about you guys, well....I know Chief and Inhibitor are still with it. That sounds like some bragging from Faust there, about converting guys to bronies. Scary Scary....

However I will admit that I havent seen the my little ponies episodes. Except for the few tidbits offered in this thread, and that Im not exactly positive what a brony fully is. Except that its a male who enjoys and is a fan of the new my little ponies. I also understand this is a family show for folks with kids, and I got that just fine. But single guys??? Cmon man....

Anywho I do go on, this is just my opinion and is no way -serious business-. This reminds me of a zombie virus, once you get bit only one thing you can do for the victim, you know what it is!

The show seems fine to me. It's not something I'd actively watch, but the whole pony fad doesn't bother me, and if I were in a room with a bunch of people and the show came on and they started watching it, I wouldn't run for cover or anything. The one time I did watch the show on TV, though... what made me gag was not the show, but the commercials. (Also, I caught the end of whatever show preceded it, and that show made me gag a bit...)

I guess I need to say it AGAIN...

I'm sure MLP is a pretty decent show. Lauren Faust has worked alongside her husband producing some amazing cartoons that I still watch to this day. Even classics like the PPG I still watch from time to time, (seriously, that show was hardcore, brutal, and brutal) and Foster's Home is a huge favorite of mine too. So why don't I give MLP a try? Well, it's in the title. Ponies. I can't watch or play anything that revolves around something that is usually meant for the young female crowd, and I certainly wouldn't be proud to call myself a 'Brony' or whatever, even if I DID like the show. I'd just keep it secret, probably watch an episode or two at midnight when no one is around and tell it to no one. It would be like a guilty pleasure, something I (possibly) enjoy but would be absolutely spat upon if anyone found out. Most shows I watch I don't like to hide from others, but I know I would if I were to get addicted to this show. So that's it. I'm just not gonna watch Ponies. Back to Avatar: The Last Airbender...

I wouldn't run for cover either if I was in a room full of my little pony fans that happen to be grown men. Not that I think they would actively adveritize it upon first glance. (Thats my assumption anyway.) That and I dunno why I would be in a room with my little pony fans for that matter. For the sake of discussion I'll state it.

In a nut shell not my cup of tea, and way too much singing for my tastes.

There's singing too? Bah, I REALLY won't check it out now. That's the one thing that always drives me up the wall in cartoons...

Sorry to barge in, but i want to ask you all something. Why do you all like MLP? I mean, i'm not saying it's a bad thing, cuz i'm into bondage, (and i've seen the two mixed together.) but why is it so appealing to you all? If any of you?

(I haven't checked out what everyone has to say about it, so.......yeah.)

For the first thing, the show is run by Lauren Faust, writer of the Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. It's well written, great characters, a handful of references, and quite sophisticated. Just don't kill something before even trying it, give it a chance and make your decision.

If I can like a show about a hedgehog that runs fast and eats chili dogs, then it's not that far of a stretch I can like a show about ponies going on adventures.

Though, the difference between the old annoying as sin pony shows and this new one is... well, they gave a damn. And I think it shows. I haven't watched much of it, just a handful of episodes, but from what I've seen and heard, I think I like it.

Oh, and also:
