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)

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!

Check this out, I've found something interesting and quite shocking... check out this media studies journal and you'll see that SatAM was ranked #9 with a 5.2 rating! And it was viewed by an estimated 4.8 million viewers!

Look for it on the reception somewhere on wikilinks: http://en.wikipedia....es)#cite_note-8

Also, Check it out (Real proof):

It was canceled cause the new president of ABC didn't like it and it lost to Power Rangers.

But REALLY, ABC??? I hate ABC even more now
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 will say that Power Rangers is a good show and that they may have had the tinitest little microscopic bit of justification for cancelling the show, but come on, you have shows on the top ten list, you don't mess with them! Screw ABC's president, I want to see some hard proof that you knew power rangers could have beaten the SatAM before you cancelled it, not just that you didn't like the series!

Why does ANY show get cancelled? There's plenty of reasons. Low ratings, change in managment at the network, creative issues, budget reasons and so on.

Thing is, we'll probably never, ever get the real reason as to why SatAM was cancelled. We may hear a reason, but that could be a lie for all truely know.

Take Comedy Central for example, when they cancelled Mystery Science Theater 3000 back in 1996, they said it was because of low ratings and that was bullshit because the guys behind the show said the ratings were always good. It was revealed that later on during the Comedy Central years on the show, there was tension between Best Brains (makers of the show) and the network. There was a management change between seasons 6 and 7 (the last to air on CC) and the Brains tried to rebuild the bridge and get on with this new management team, but it didn't work. Plus there was the trouble of budget. When the show first started, getting movies wasn't a problem but when the show started making a name of itself, owners of the movies demanded more and more money. This made getting some movies impossible or movies that had been shown had to be taken off the reruns schedule because they couldn't afford to pay the new license fee. It was the same reason MST3K ended when they went to the Sci-Fi channel, change of people at the network and the high cost of licensing movies, but never had anything to do with the ratings.

A show can be popular, but if it's not as popular as a network thinks it should be, that can lead to it being cancelled. Or it might just be when there's a change at the network, they might want to bring in their own ideas for shows and some will have to make the way.

SatAM may have gotten solid number, but it wasn't the higgest rating, it pretty much says it was #9 in it's timeslot, meaning 8 other shows outdid it. Think of it this way, ABC have an animated series to one of the hottest properties at the time and it's getting out done by the likes of EEK the Cat, Garfield and Power Rangers.

"The Devil Inside is the new scam from director William Something Something. The movie stars actors and was edited on a computer. Somewhere. This movie is the latest film in a series of very low budget films designed to look like real movies! And be released in theaters to make a quick buck via a horribly off kilter budget to profit ratio that the general public seem to be stupidly unaware of! These films use to be called 'direct to video' but now they are called 'first run features'. These films then vanish from the theaters, like a rapist leaving the scene of a crime." - Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia

But it's also #9 on the top-watched list. As a metaphor, If a D get's you in the top ten percentile, then your still looking at Harvard because you beat out the other thousands upon thousands of contenders. Be happy.

Yeah...but I the goal is to raise ratings by cutting the lower shows out. It raises the Average. And If I'm cutting shows I'm cutting them by percentage.

The closest thing i have seen to a TV show getting an 8 would be the Super Bowl. Getting a 5.2, even today, is bragging rights.
