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.

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!

In Topic: The Florist Who Said "no" To Gay Wedding...

They were not asking her to make an exception for them. They were asking her to do what she would do for anyone else. That is not discriminatory.
Selling flowers is not an endorsement. She was not asked to participate in or endorse the ceremony in any way. She was just refusing them service because they are homosexuals.

If she were respectful she'd put her personal beliefs aside and not discriminate against her customers. She was not asked to participate in the ceremony or do anything other than a typical sales transaction. No matter how "nicely" she enforced a discriminatory policy, she's deliberately making a statement.

I simply don't get why people think homosexuality is something to fight against, or how non-traditional relationships between consenting adults is harmful at all or has any effect at all on "traditional" marriage. You can still have the most old fashioned marraige you want to, nobody's stopping you. If you think being with someone of the same sex is just wrong, and against your religion, then congratulations, you don't have to do that! But recognize that hey, there actually exists other religions, and non-religious beliefs, and not everyone ascribes to the same set of beliefs you do, and part of getting along in society is getting along despite those differences.
If you hate someone else's relationship so much that you'll refuse to sell them flowers to celebrate it, then.. I can't say I have much sympathy for you.

I'd give the him a chance at least. Lighten up, shit talking the guy over some old drama just makes you look bad.

In Topic: Comic Strips!

25 November 2012 - 06:41 PM

Frazz has its moments, but it always bugged me a little. It's very clearly inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, and the main character even looks like a grown-up Calvin. That's fine, but besides the characters looking very similar and the precocious dialogue with the kids, the strip lacks the detail and imagination that Calvin and Hobbes had. Most of the jokes are about how clever and intellectual Caulfield and Frazz are and how dumb everybody else is. It all feels really self-involved and smug, and it doesn't earn its homage.
The Far Side was a favorite, and Dilbert has been good here and there. Monty (formerly Robotman) is probably my favorite strip. It's consistently funny and well drawn. F Minus is a newer strip that consistently makes me laugh.
So many strips in the papers today are legacy strips passed down to new artists or put together in a copy and paste fashion long after its creators have passed on. It's kind of depressing looking at the comics page. Age is a constant theme- the strips are old, the creators are old or dead, there are so many anachronisms in the jokes and the art, and any reference to new technology is confused and dismissive. Hell, Gasoline Alley is still in the papers. It began in 1918. And have you seen Funky Winkerbean lately? He's still in the papers, but instead of a wacky teenager he's grown into a bitter old man. If there's any better metaphor for newspaper strips I haven't seen it..
