@ 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
@ 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!

We are actually discussing a scheme where FUSers can donate a kidney for us to sell on the black market. Watch this space!

Some of us might not be able to help monetarily, but mayhap there are other ways we can help out the website?

We are actually discussing a scheme where FUSers can donate a kidney for us to sell on the black market. Watch this space!

Also if anyone is willing to be sold into slave labor we're accepting applications.

We can nominate other users for this, right?

Sure. Why not?

How much does the forum license cost, anyway? (I'm a software developer, so maybe I can help down the road to alleviate the overhead)

I think after everything it is around 80 to 100... Id have to look into it fully. There are a few different things that come up for renewal at different times. Don't ask me why. 1 thing is a yearly cost I believe the others are a 6 month thing.

79.95USD per month for the server, and 25USD every 6 months for the forum software. The forum software licence is not mandatory, but we have to pay it if we want to continue enjoying all the nifty updates in the future.

The Licence is just one of the things though. Last time I had to upgrade I had to pay 40 bucks over some junk..Wasnt just the renewal.. Although I could be thinking of the domain which was just done

If I have an idea of how much bandwidth and storage space you need I could possibly look into cheaper ways to host FUS.

You do that.

In the mean time I'll just keep throwing money at the problem...like Congress. *Throws a bucket of tax dollars into a hole*

In all seriousness though, if we pull or weight as community for a common cuase I am sure we can push through with ease. Even if not all can donate (though I mean, just a dollar from 80 people would have us set) you could find other ways to help. I wonder if any live streamers or Let's Players would help us out...

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.

Once I close on my house I can send a few bucks. Once I get my company in order (January) I'll message you guys and see if there's some way I can help with the hosting. That alone would take a large burden off I would hope.

I have to save 200 bucks by Christmas so my parents can give me the Wii U that they bought. Needless to say, I can't spend a dime for the moment.

I said "New".

Wind Waker HD is fun, but honestly I already have the game and between the two HD feels a bit shorter due to the changes with the triforce collecting.
