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!

Ant looks like a freakin' twig


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.

Avoiding the subject of the hideous cover artwork that looks like DeviantArt's throw up, I will say now that some opinions of mine have changed. Nicole's design looks much better than I initially interpreted it, however Ant looks extremely awkward.

The timing of the crossover was terrible as well

 

No kidding...

 

Worse yet, it appears the whole Mecha Sally arc was never resolved either, just swept under the rug for this pathetic retcon Genesis wave crap.

 

Yea, how exactly was this story well written again? Oh wait...

Normally I'd agree that I would like to see the solution, but considering how long it has gone on and stuff, I'm just gonna be happy it's over.

It wasn't just the timing of the crossover, it was everything else that happened. The Penders lawsuit made things even worse. All the stories Ian had planned were either scrapped or altered heavily. As a result, the plots went nowhere and had little payoff.

That variant cover is fucking wank. Shit reminds me of the old issues which were drawn by Ron Lim.


'Star Wars' is my story, just like my house is my house. So if I wanna paint my house green, even if everyone else thinks it should be red, guess what? I'm gonna paint it Jar Jar! - George Lucas

"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

It's the variant cover.  Only the collectors and those unfortunate enough to buy it when it's the only cover left will be saying that.

I agree. I was once reading every new issue of the comic....until the Mega man crossover. I have nothing agaisnt Megaman, it's just that i'm not interest by this franchise. Because of this, i didn't bother to look at any of the crossover issue. So, i can't say if this crossover is good or not, but since it will no longer matter after it's over...so why should i care?

 

The issue 243 was the last awesome issue in my book. Awesome action moment, we see some old good character again (Remington, Lien-Da, even the Knuckles family is here) and give us the chance to see the fate of the echidna people......then come the following issue: 244, in which Julie-Su dissapear from the cover, then every echidna as well and all of that is told through a bunch of vague flashback....What a mess :(

My concern isn't the cover itself, it's the horrid designs. Since when does Rotor have legs like that??

In my opinion Bunny, Rotor, and even Antoine and co. were okay on the normal covers, but this is crap... heck even Sonic at Tails don't look right on this cover! I hope the ones from the normal covers are the real redesigns.

To be fair, all the SatAM Redesigns... they all look so-so. Even Nicole!

 

I wish they were an little bit realistic... and not look too much like the games.  

 

Do you guys ever thought the Archie comics will not last that long?

Honestly I wasn't sure when the whole Penders Case came to light that SEGA wouldn't pull the plug.  However since they didn't, I don't think this is the end of Archie Comics yet.  Also remember we're only one side of the fan base.  Most of our opinions are the same, but I bet if you look at Flynn's Forum you'd find more people approving the design.

I don't argue that.  But I've even seen people on Deviant Art who approve the new designs, and not all of them are the Strictly SEGA fans.

True, and I not totally against them either; all we've had at this point are covers and blurry little concept shots to go by. I'll wait until they are properly revealed to make my final decision; if I like what he does I might become a subscriber, who knows. I mean, it's nice that they are still 'alive' officially in the comic, but for me The Freedom Fighters will always be the ones from SatAM and Archie and Sega will never change that no matter what they do to them or ignore them.

I don't mind the legs; it's the face that bothers me. Rotor's new muzzle looks off.

So, i can't say if this crossover is good or not, but since it will no longer matter after it's over...so why should i care?

 

On the contrary, the crossover is gonna have lasting effects in the fallowing issues.

 

For example, the Wily Egg (or what's left of it) appears in the cover of the upcoming "Sonic Universe" #58:

No, Ian allows people to speak their opinions on his forums as long as they're civil and well-mannored. Anyone caught using harsh words, offensive slurrs, bashing, or bring up inappropriate topics are ones who are silenced.

I see...Having not seen the crossover at all (and i mean: at all), i wasn't expecting these event to last long. The reason why is because since this is 2 totally different universe, i wasn't expecting either Sega or Capcom to allow to keep anything in the other comic after the crossover would be over.
