When was that? Depending on when it was, it might have been a DNS issue. Those should be gone now.

@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

on*

@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

Red said he couldnt get one

@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM)

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

One Blaze in the future of Sonic's world, and one in the Sol Dimension.

remember: Silver's future NEVER happens technically
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.

Oh, I'd love to see it happen, but I doubt Ian would have Sally do something like that after contrively making her fall in love with this moron.

It was Karl Bollers who wrote that story actually.

Yea, but that was merely done to break up Sonic and Sally's relationship, not because it was the best decision for the comic or Sonic actually deserved it.

Plus, Sally by that time was an emotional basket case and clearly was not thinking clearly.


Maybe Sonic can tell her that this idiot didn't help getting her back to normal


I hope she does, but even then I doubt Ian would make Sally slap him.

I mean, she actually visited this moron on the same night as her date with Sonic. Seriously, what was up with that? It's as if she still couldn't make up her mind.

This is why SEGA doesn't make deep stories for Sonic games anymore. Cause this crap happens.

Of course not. It's fake, contrived and done just to get a reaction out of the fans. Drama must be well written for it have a purpose in a story.

This is something Ian obviously never learned.

Sad, but true.

Still, Sega could make deep story games if they would actually put some effort into them.

SA1 and SA2 showed me it can be done. They just need to try and quit milking Sonic as a franchise.

Really? I always thought it's because Sonic games are more or less aimed at a child audience since that's the franchises main source of bread and butter and kiddies aren't exactly going to understand deep stories with a lot of thought put into them.

Come to think of it, when has an actual Sonic game had a deep story? I guess it must of happened when I stopped playing them around Sonic Heroes. But the few I have played since then are lacking in the story department.

Never going to happen because that's exactly what it is. It's a franchise and it's sole purpose is to make them money, just like every other franchise out there. The Sonic franchise is no different to the likes of Transformers, Star Wars, Batman or anything else.

I think you're not giving kiddies enough credit.

I think it's true that subtlety tends to go right past kids, but I don't think that means they'd enjoy the story any less, and they'd certainly understand the broad points of what's going on.

True, but that hasn't stopped them from watching more mediocre shows like "Inspector Gadget", "Rocky and Bullwinkle", and every sitcom airing on Disney and Nickelodeon. As long as they have something fun to enjoy (be it fast-paced action, cheesy/crude humor, or fun-loving characters), they'll be all over it. They just wanna kick back and watch their favorite shows, not over-analyze it like a homework assignment.

Which is actually my point. Kids will enjoy something sufficiently appealing no matter what, which means "deep stories with a lot of thought put into them" would likely not harm the product.

Let's also not forget that parents often watch TV with their kids, so it certainly helps to entertain adults even if you're targeting stuff for kids. That applies rather less to video games, though.
