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!

Once again, political correctlness has gotten out of hand. This time, it's the massive overreactions that have led to stuff like bans on displays of the Rebel (Confederate) Flag, which has further extended to such things as Warner Bros pulling production of Dukes of Hazzard memorabillia, TV Land banning the show, and NASCAR's mostly failed "trade your Rebal Flags for American Flags" program. I've warned people about "PC Stuff Run Amok" in the past and people generally laughed at me. And now, we have what is essentially and assult on the lives of roughly half the US population's persuit of happieness. I'll not say what I think of the PC crowd here, because it involves words that could get me in more trouble than this topic is worth...

 

I will say that I lump them in with the hate groups they claim to oppose, but are too fucking gutless to really do anything about. Where the hell does this madness end? What're you goinna do? Try and physically remove my Dukes of Hazzard DVDs and toy General Lees? Take away my class ring? Try it and I'll put a deer slug in your fucking pseudo-nazi head, and use some tricks I know of to ensure that there won't be remains to be found...

 

To the PC-Nazis out there (if you're not one, you can stop reading here if you want): Just because some assholes like to use something for evil purposes, that doesn't mean that you should go after those who don't, you dipshits... If you'd let us stamp out those groups of people who are using them for evil, instead of protecting them (and even forcing us to protect them), then there would be less crime and hate in the world... Less innocent people killed. But, no... The hate groups and terrorists have to have rights, too... You're not part of the solution. You're part of the problem, to the extend of preventing the solution. Stop trying to push your agenda on everyone. That's why people hate you. It's not because of your beliefs. It's because of your actions and attempts to force those beliefs on the rest of us. Get the stick out of your ass and practice what you preach: Let those who aren't PC remain non-PC...

 

That is all. I just needed to get that off my chest. Have a nice day, everyone who isn't a PC-Nazi. If I've offended anyone, then the problem is most likely with that/those person/people.

I am no fan of the Confederate flag and have a very low opinion of its use as a symbol of Southern pride. That said, when I heard about the Dukes of Hazzard/General Lee thing, I thought they were going too far. The show's about a bunch of rednecks, and rednecks like the Confederate flag. Whether it's "right" or not for them to is immaterial.
