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 stick to one thing and go with it
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.

Let me rephrase that.

I don't hate Sally, I think she's a really good character. She's unique in both personality and design, which makes her iconic in the series.

But when I said that she's no longer needed, I didn't mean "axed off" or anything like that. What I meant to say was "put aside" or "have her role toned down". Yes, she's the perfect girl for Sonic and she currently has a lot on her shoulders as royalty, but it feels like the series puts more focuses on her than Sonic or any other character.


That's because Archie Sonic poorly portrayed her. She was given alot of spotlight, but did mostly useless stuff with it, or was involved in pointless love dramas. If she actually was molded into a competent tomboy Freedom Fighter like Bunnie and played to her strengths, I don't think the fanbase would care as much about her spotlight then.

You know, when I really think about it, I can't say I blame the Sally haters entirely. She's in alot of stories, but has done next to nothing to be worthy of all of this attention.

Here, I think this picture explains my point:

Posted Image

I'm not saying Sally should be kicked out of the series, just toned down so that other characters can get some spotlight.


I think this picture is really over-exaggerating Sally's excessive spotlight, but I'll agree she's been given too much screentime. I'm all for other characters getting a shot, but the way Ian did it was not a solution in the least. Sally is still a major part of it, but only now a robotic villain.

How is this supposed to please anyone? Her haters are angry that's she's still a main focus, and alot of her fans are ticked that's she been subjected to this abuse.

To this day, I wonder what Ian was thinking when he thought this arc it up. This story just literally makes no sense.

Naugus' Deus Ex Machina magic.

I'm almost 100% certain that's the way it'll go, should Sally ever be restored. Not to mention that's the style of fix Ian is famous for anyhow.

Probably if anything. Or Sonic will get the 7 emeralds and so some crazy crap.

Not really. You got the SatAM fans on one hand, the SEGA/Game fans on the other, and the long time Comic followers in between. At best you'll a C grade no matter what you do.

Pretty much. At best you can get like a B- to satisfy 2 of the three. Maybe SEGA should just do a game to satisfy all 3 groups

2/3rds is only about 66-67%. You don't even make it to a B-.

SEGA couldn't do that either. Some of their fans dislike the Archie/SatAM characters and storyline. So by default they are put on opposing sides.

Probably the reason why SEGA is so picky about the mediums crossing.

C or B- whatever. If SEGA slowly integrated SatAM/Archie into the Games it may be a good thing. Like what im doing on my games

Understatement of the year.

That is a very good point. You'll never please all 3 groups at once.

Although, they could at least try to not tick off one when pleasing another.

Yea, that and the fact I think Sega vehemently hates this universe of Sonic in general. The only reason they keep it around is because it apparently does make them money.

Wish they would apply that same logic to their games, even if it was nothing more than a DLC. I think it would net them a nice little profit if they gave it a chance.

I think SEGA is trying to abolish canon sorta like Mario. There really isn't a storyline. However Sonic is too rooted in storylines to do that.

Good point.

Yea, especially considering Sonic's been pretty much all over the place game wise the last 7 years. No consistency to it whatsoever.

The storyline USED to be Sonics 1-3, CD, Adventures 1-2, then Heroes.
Now it's all crazy.
