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!

Just thought I'd write up a little introductory post! :D

Anyway, hullo. Name's Sami. You can call me Ann, Sami, Jerkface, whatever floats your boat really. I'll figure it out.
I'm a long time member of the Sonic fandom, been with it the entire 20 years and still kickin' strong. My favorite character has to be Sally, hands down. She was my hero in '94, she's my hero now. Haters gonna hate, I'm loyal to my princess.
A little more about myself... I'm a college grad with a degree in animation, and you may have seen my art around DA, or even in a few issues of the comic (Sonic 72, 227, Knuckles 29). One day i want to work as a comic artist, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. :D Yay for being clueless!

Anyway, nice to meet you all! I haven't posted in regular forums in about six years, so forgive me if I'm a little awkward starting out. xD This one is rusty.

Nice...someone else who's been with Sonic since the beginning. And another IL person...I used to live in IL. I was kind of like you when I started posting here. I hadn't posted in any forums in about 5 years and Sea3on is what brought me here and...well...here I am xD. Anyway...glad to have you with us! :guitar:

Always nice to see FUS can still attract new members. I'm Wild, not too many of the newbies around here know me as i've been kinda inactive for a while. Anyway, i'm sure we'll see each other around, as i'm also a vast compendium of Sonic knowledge and a fan for all his 20 years. Here's looking at you kid.

Welcome to FUS, Ann!

Sally's a great character, especially one written for a children's show. The only point the haters have is that she's naked, but on the other hand she's wearing more clothes than Bugs Bunny, so their point is moot.
I believe in what I want to believe in, you believe in what you want to believe in, so when someone wants to believe in something, no one will know what to believe!

HA! Okay weird story here. Back when I was..... I dunno 12 or 13 I saw a add for Sonic 100 in a Archie book (Yes I read Archie comics and they rule [not the sonic..actual Archie]). Well it showed a picture of Sally holding some sword or junk, Ant and others behind her. So..Got me thinking, "..I watched a show with them when I was younger.." So I hunted down a place to download SatAM on google, connected me to FUS and I joined...Joined when I was 14..or 15. Somehow that got me involved in this fandom and I took over FUS a few years back. Weird..All started from a advertisement.

Reed had a crazy Idea for a comic based on the characters (and some events) from the Finally an RPG (FAR) Thread.

Belated Greetings. I seem to have missed this topic last night. Apart from FAR and Apoc, Red and I are each working on RPGs, as well, if you're looking for RP without the spam-posting. And of course, there's also plenty of other nice places here, like the 1000 pages topic.

XDDDD I don't know about keeping up- I'm only able to get online maybe once a day, depending on connection strength. My internet connection is lousy.

I don't think anyone can really keep up with FAR and Apoc... I had to leave both, due to the spam-posting. It's like trying to have an RPG in a chatroom... If you're not online at the right times and can't post fast enough, they bypass you and effectively force you out of the RPG, because you can't interact with them. They have put a lot of work into it. It's just that they're too impatient for anyone who isn't on their schedule to keep up with them.

I've designed Coyote's Challenge to prevent such things. I have a very slow connection and tend to work until Zane and Reed's bedtimes and when Red heads to his grandma's house... So, I designed CC to be more of a "everyone post once per day, unless everyone happens to be on at the same time and we can fit 2 or 3 into a night." kinda thing. Red's RPG has less strict rules, but does include a "don't post to the exclusion of others" rule.

And most of the time, the 1000 pages topic doesn't move fast enough to really leave anyone in the dust for too long. Between sort of nonsense RP stuff and discussion of daily life, it can usualy be skimmed over if it's managed to grow a couple of new pages.
