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.

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.

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!

Hey guys, so we gave a brief update the other day on the new site.  I would just like to take a bit of time and explain some new features to you guys.

 

First up, the thing that some of you probably noticed right away was the 'Donation Box'.  I'm sure a lot of the older members will remember a time where myself and John said we would never do donation campaigns or add a donation button/box.  We could pay for the site fine, and for that matter we still can.  So no one get worried and think that FUS is in any danger of shutting down.  However FUS has grown a lot since taking over.  Between server costs and paying our Sea3on staff, and other extra costs we put up with FUS does run us a fair coin every month.  Over 100USD simply put.  We also have lots of plans to expand, and start paying some other staff of ours. However our pocket books are already pulling a hurt on some months.

Regardless, FUS isn't in any danger of shutting down.  We can still fund what we do perfectly fine. Just a little extra never hurt anyone, and it could help us expand some more and pay the staff off.

 

Now, onto some other new things.  FUS News.  As you have all seen there are 2 News Topics on FUS now. One is for Site news, like this, the other for Sonic News.  We currently have 2 reporters who are going to keep you up to date on all your Sonic news.  Shadow and Inhibitor, our reporters, will cover everything Sonic related and make FUS your one stop shop for all your Sonic news needs.  I will be starting up a email for them shortly where you can send any news tips to.

 

Whats not done?  Well, in the next few months, perhaps sooner, the forum will be re designed.  We are currently testing out different skin set ups and are getting ready to start customizing one to match the new site layout. Also as the Sea3on fans have noticed, the Sea3on page hasn't been updated.  That is also in the works.  Including a matching colour scheme, better archive system, and all in all better functionality.  The current set up was just meant to be used for a few months, its well past its due date.

 

Hope you guys enjoy the new site layout and hope you will enjoy the future updates to come,

 

Cheers,

 

Paul
