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.
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.
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!
To me, IGN has always been a group of hacks Their complaints are bullcrap, they contradict themselves, and overall, they just aren't entertaining. That and a lot of their complaints lead me to believe that they don't really know how gaming works.
If being an evil scientist with a roboticized arm, an entire army of robots, the ability to turn any flesh and blood creature into a cold, killing machine, having Jim Cumming's voice, and being actually threatening is boring, than Sega's hardcore fan base has low expectations. Sure Eggman has had his moments, (Sonic Adventure 2) but there are certain instances where I want a villain who is actually a threat. SatAM Robotnik is a threat, he has no remorse, no soul, or any regrets. Eggman may be more well rounded in some ways, but he's in every way.......pathetic.....for a lack of better words. I mean seriously, wanting to build a frigging amusement park is NOT evil! Why would you go out of your way to obtain limitless power, than decide to use that power to build a theme park?! *sigh* well either way, SatAM Robotnik is defiantly the better villain if you ask me/
I found FUS after I had finished watching SatAM for the first time. I wanted to know why the show was canceled, so I typed in Sonic SatAM season 3, and Fans United For SatAM was the first result that came up and the link lead me to an article about season 3 and then I found the comic. So thats how I found the site in a nutshell.
I don't care what people say, yes I understand that the fans would just debate constantly over trivial details, but giving SatAM to Sega would be like a vegetarian meat. Last I checked, Sega has gone out of their way to erase SatAM from the minds of everyone! How do you think giving SatAM to Sega would go?! They'd butcher thats what would happen! Sally would most likely be replaced with Amy, horrible actors would be brought in and the writing would suck, because, lets be honest, Sega has made some horrible choices over the past and they don't seem to be improving.
So in the end, even though a fan produced season 3 would probably consist of constant arguing from hard core fans, at least it would be made by people who actually give a damn about the series, let alone know how it should be done. Giving it to Sega has "bad idea" written all over it.
I gave up on bring SatAM back as soon as Ben Hurst passed away. I say this because, well, whats the point of living his dream if hes not there to enjoy it with us? And like many have said, if they did bring it back, the animation would be different, the writing wouldn't be as good, and the voicing would not be as good.
The fact of the matter is, big television studios want big projects on big name shows. I'm not saying SatAM wasn't great, far from it, its one of my favorites, but the fact of the matter is, SatAM was sort of an underground television show. It barley got the ratings it needed to continue the first season, and the second season as Ben explained didn't do as well with the ratings then it did with the fans. And if the show were to continue, all Ben had was the third season planned out, where would the show go from there. And even worse, how would SatAM do with Sonic's new, incredibly divided fan base? Most people I know have only heard of Sonic X.
