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!

chief just told me linking to emulators is A-OK, just not illegal ROMs.


#195571 Creator Of Sonic Epoch Here

Posted by furrykef on 14 July 2014 - 04:38 PM

I can't imagine why. Emulators don't infringe upon copyright.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious....Plucky doesn't help either.


Serious. Emulators do not contain copyrighted content. You can use them to infringe upon copyright, but you can also use them to play homebrew software (such as Sonic Epoch), and doing so is entirely legal.

Also, the board rules do not mention emulators anywhere.

#194399 Bill Watterson Returns... Sorta

Posted by furrykef on 06 June 2014 - 09:52 PM

I suppose this is the comic strip equivalent of when a post-retirement Johnny Carson briefly appeared on David Letterman. Read here and the following two strips. Then read Stephan Pastis's blog entry about it.

It's all kinda surreal. I wouldn't expect Pearls of all strips to be Bill's cup of tea (it can be pretty funny, but it's definitely lacking in the art department). But I guess it happened regardless. Who'da thunk it?


#193781 Update On Ken Penders... Yep.

Posted by furrykef on 26 May 2014 - 09:16 AM

I'm still not sure if we've ever seen Ken outright lying, as opposed to being simply delusional.


#193601 The Washington Redskins Name Debate.

This bitingly satirical article says all that needs to be said about the subject, IMO.

I know this one. It's a double trick question. One's first inclination is to say gold, because gold is heavy and feathers are light, but of course then you remember that a ton is a ton is a ton, so they must be the same weight. Except a ton isn't a ton, because gold is normally weighed in troy weight, and feathers are normally weighed in avoirdupois weight. So the ton of feathers is heavier.

Let the memes commence.


I do not think "meme" means what most people think it means.

Aeons ago we had a SatAM screenshot caption game here on the forum. (Well, actually I think it was on the old forum...) We should probably bring that back.

Basically one person posts a picture and the next person has to caption it and provide the picture for the next guy.

Did you watch Jeopardy! a week ago? They had a blind guy on there, Eddie Timanus. He was a five-time champion in 1999, which was the maximum allowed back then, so he was undefeated until the 2000 Tournament of Champions. He didn't win this time around, but he had a decent shot at it, since he had the most money going into Final Jeopardy.


#190565 Venezuela

Posted by furrykef on 28 February 2014 - 12:09 PM

America probably is on its way down from its superpower status, and has been ever since 9/11. That said, we're not going the way of Venezuela or the Soviet Union. There are plenty of countries in Europe with socialist tendencies and they don't have bread lines, nor are they heading in that direction.


(Obama happily took socialist reading material from Hugo once as gift and is socialist himself)


I hate it when people try to infer something about a man's character by the books he reads (let alone merely accepts as a gift). If I read Mein Kampf, does it make me a Nazi? You yourself once told me to read some books written from a creationist point of view, if I recall correctly; would reading them mean I'm a creationist?

#190302 Ken Penders To Have Written For Season 3?

Posted by furrykef on 18 February 2014 - 07:38 PM

There is probably some truth to it, but we can only guess how much considering Ken's track record. I don't think Ken is making it up from whole cloth; I don't think we've ever caught him telling blatant lies. But the man does have a way of, shall we say, stretching the truth. Possibly more out of delusion than malice, though...

My guess is Ken was in talks with the show's producer. Nothing is set in stone until a contract is signed (and sometimes not even then), though, and I strongly doubt one had been.

It's not unusual for a TV show to take on freelancers, so I think Ken writing for the show was well within the realm of possibility. It just wasn't a sure bet.
