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!

So as a lot of you found out today...FUS was broken.  Well to be honest the server was running perfectly fine.  The issue however was in the domain.  It kinda expired on us late last night.   We had (or at least thought) we had it set up to auto renew but..Apparently we didn't.  And of course all of the warnings of "your domain is about to expire" got emailed to John.  Which didn't help much as he is (as a lot of you may know) currently in Afghanistan.

So after work today I went to go renew the domain... The little auto renew button wasn't working..Site kept timing out.. Annoying.
So I went to do what any frustrated person in my position would do....Went to a buddies and drank beer. Oh and ditched the problem on Bakuda's lap.

 

Well later on tonight Bakuda tried to get the thing to renew and had the same issue I did.  However on his last attempt before he gave up for the night it worked.  So yay.  Domain is good for some while longer now.

 

On other news..The fact that the domain ran out means it was 4 years ago when myself and John took over the website.   Wow...Time sure goes by past.

 

Thanks all for your support over the years.

Cheers,

Paul

Thank God that you were able to recover the site. For a moment, I thought the site faded away into the ever expanding void of expired websites on the internet. A terrible fate for many fan websites, including the website that translated the early Sonic manga.

I doubt FUS would disappear for good that suddenly. At least not unless chief, JonBob, and Bakuda had already disappeared for a while.

Course I don't get much of a say in those things.  I just do the grunt work.

Well, really, it was because I didn't figure Red had much power over that sort of thing.

 

And because I'm a jerk.

Alison aka Sonique.   She created FUS back in...I think 2000.  Maybe 2001.  Back then the site shared a forum with TSN (The SatAM Network) although that only lasted for ..less then a year before FUS got its ow forums.
