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!

Maybe Max and previous monarchs have supported the Wolf Pack before due to some common interest and that has lead to a strong bond. Any ideas on what that could be?

 

 

That was a very in depth evaluation of my take on The Great War; I really liked your insights.

 

The two cultures have very little in common and it would be rare for the a primitive culture to be loyal to a monarch from a much more advanced one; the cosmopolitan way of life in Mobotropolis and with the more agrarian and simplistic one of the Wolfpack are in opposition with each other. However, at one point there must've been some interaction in the past, possibly the distant past.

Since religion was never discussed in SatAM it would be interesting to know more about the overall belief system of the Mobotropolians; maybe they have a common belief system. A bit of mythology is hinted at throughout the series, a couple of examples would be The Void episode where Sally mentions the ancient race of giants called the "Mundaras" that she was studying as well as the ancient city of "Maga" in The Secret Scrolls episode. This begs the question: who were these ancient cultures and people? Since it's generally accepted as cannon in SatAM that Mobius is a future Earth and that the Mobians are advanced forms of animal life as seen on Earth today, perhaps some sort of a mix of animal and human DNA. This is hinted at in the Sonic and Sally episode where Snively says he has enough memory to match Human Complexity when installing the memory module in the robot copy of Sally. If this is the case, then maybe these myths could've been about more older forms of their species, or perhaps the last bastions of humanity before they were snuffed out and out of those myths came their belief systems that the Mobotropolians and the Wolfpack commonly share. 

On the other hand, the Wolfpack could've been used at one time as a line of defense against outside threats, like how Rome employed the Goths to fight their battles, or perhaps they both had a common ancestral enemy and decided to work together for an equally beneficial goal. However, in this case there was most likely a treaty(s) in place that gave the Wolfpack autonomy in exchange for non-aggression against Mobotropolis. It's just another one of those unanswered questions that was never correctly answered.

 

 

 I think you're going to like the episodic fan-novel I am working on, Sonic The Hedgehog: Edge of Tommorow. Let's just say It trys to awnser some of the insights we both have mentioned.

 

 If it is said, it is there. Human's have their place somewhere in the ephermeral background of the Satam series. As for now, I'll must my lips sealed. 

 

 We all know how The Goth tribes and The Romans relations went down, not well. If I were Robotnik or Snivly "The Great", I'd sure exploit any bad blood between them and Freedom Fighters who fight in the old monoarchs name if I could. I'd really bring out those diffrences and try to doupe them with any diffrence I could point out. Robotnik in paticular knows how to play people off each other as good as the devil himself! Remember what he did with Ari and his Freedom Fighters? Surely he'd at least try something as nasty as this. And that conflict could be devestating...and a great read for us!  xD

The top one looks really cool, actually. Underground's production was decent, more than decent when you compare it to AoSth!

 

It's the direction that saddens me.
