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!

 Wookie's would have been better anyways (Chewie should just be an exception). Han would had more potential for interaction.

I'm kinda glad they didn't. It would've been another Holiday Special if they did.

And back on the subject of wookiees anyone been to the Wookieepedia, the hirsute encyclopedia?

To the Ewoks' credit, they sound like they're actually speaking an native language instead of just barking and growling all the time (man, that got annoying during the Holiday Special).

I got a question: Isnt the parsec is a measure of distance, not time?


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.

Yes.  Han does the Kessel run in less than 12 Parsecs, probably through some sort of hyper-space/warp-technology (think somone pinching two pieces of cloth together and meeting them together, shortening the distance) or just by being more ballsy and traveling through the fastlanes of the common galacic trade-ways (that is probably why he got boarded that one time).

The Kessel Run goes through an area of space called The Maw, which is filled with black holes.  He's not measuring the time, but rather how close to the Maw he was able to make the run without getting sucked into a Black Hole.

The Empire had a research facility hidden inside the Maw dedicated to superweapon R&D. A skeletal prototype of the Death Star was constructed there, but the actual thing wasn't.

I think they did some retcons on this. Though the prototype was indeed built here.

Also it's the Maw where Han dumped his shipment that got the bounty put on his head.
