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!

He does have one point. The comics arent gonna be used for source material

I wouldn't say that. It's possible that they may take some influence from both the comics and the television series, but I doubt they'll adapt anything directly from it.

And if they do take some influence from the series, let's hope Penders doesn't sue them as well. I mean, he's such a hypocrite; suing people for homaging his material when he himself clearly took material from other series. Soon, he'll be suing fans who don't give him "proper" credit.

Did i ever mention that Penders wants people to have a signed, written consent form allowing people to use his characters.

 

Suing fans aint that far off Logi


Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

I thought about doing it just to spite him...

 

but if he's gonna sue fans i'm not risking it, plus i got nothing of value.

 

Wiat arent fan fics protected because under certain laws?

Good point, what fanbase?

 

I highly doubt he's going to start suing fans at this point, if at all. The hell do we and others have to gain by using his characters, people who make **** up for fan fiction aren't making jack out of it at all. It's all free for everyone to view and entertain both good and bad fan fiction, web comics, whatever.

 

If I write a story I'll use whoever I damn well want and please, I'll let the bodies hit the floor and kill them off without his approval, I'm not Archie or Sega. We're all under fair use right, so screw it. If he wants my signature, he it is.

Seriously, HOW THE HELL did nobody know that Robotnik was evil!? I mean just look at those red, glowing, hellish eyes, oh yeah I can completely trust that guy with my life! *sarcasm*

Actually, fanfics are illegal. From a legal standpoint, they're straight up copyright infringement. Authors and companies usually just don't do anything about it because they realize that fics aren't hurting anything (except possibly when adult material is involved) and because going after fans is bad PR. Every now and then, though, there comes along some snotty author who thinks their work should be theirs alone and nobody else can play in their playground...

Poor old Penders... his abrasive personality and thinking all intact and strong as ever, but his craft gone to total seed thanks to years of laziness.

It's really interesting how not only his art, but his writing has really gone downhill sharply. For a man who is so passionate to make these ideas work you think he'd work harder at it. When I look at things, and his mongloid face I have to wonder if he suffered some kind of stroke and has brain damage.

The manchild behavior, the down syndrome looks, denial and oblivious to reality around him.

Having just reread the Mobius 25 Years Later stories that Penders wrote I can safely say that Penders writing actually hasn't gone downhill. It's at the same level that it was during his last year working on the comic. In the course of one decade he hasn't improved at all. Look at Ian's early work on the Sonic comic, and compair it to his work on the comic nowadays. It's like night and day. But Penders work has never gotting better.
