It may come as a surprise...

Posted 1 month ago

But probably not... FA has blown another gasket and is currently offline... again... And it looks like the admins over there have finally realized that the root cause of this and earlier problems is/was their crap-tastic server hardware. Well duh...

In any case, hope that all the furs in the US of A out there have a happy 4th of July weekend... I know that I'll be looking forward to a blessed three day weekend where the only thing I'll have to worry about is the location of the bottle opener...

Have a great one!
Cap

    *sighs* They keep letting the hamsters escape. The server won't work without the hamsters!

      Yeah, they obviously were maltreating the little buggers...

      Their server has got to be powered by Cyrix 386 processors running DOS... Geez Louise! It goes down more often than a streetwalker in Las Vegas...

      Anyway, glad we've still got FAP!

    I guess they figured the pair of crutches they were standing up the server with would fix the prob. =+P

    And a happy Independence day to you also mon. =+}
    Empty words of adulation and appreciation do not allow an artist to grow. Overly critical and out right attacks on an artists' work are even more damaging.

      Yup, yup... Oh, well... I just hope they don't lose the archives!

      Have a wonderful 4th.

    It's time I come forward and tell the truth: I'm an art forum saboteur. I deliberately walk into server rooms wearing a fur coat. "What? It's cold in here!" Right now, I'm holding Fur Affinity's server hostage and will release once I have my three demands: $100,000 in cash, getaway car, and I want the letter "M" stricken from the English language.

    Jeez, you'd think they would have known their server was going to give them trouble when they saw the fuse attached to it. They're asking for donations for a new server; it makes me wonder how they've been allocating the donations they've already been getting.

    Well, Happy Fourth to you, Cap! I don't need to worry about a bottle opener; I've got twist-off caps.

      If you see someone at your door with a sign "Will draw for beer," you'll know it's me... Actually, I've got a bunch of 24 oz bottles of brown ale I brewed last fall chilling in the fridge and there'll be fewer of 'em tomorrow evening... Good stuff.

      lol! The line about the fur coat in the server room is classic... You're right though, they should have known that something was wrong when the server crashed about as often as Evel Knievel... Oh, well... I'm just as happy here.

      You have a wonderful 4th as well!

    Does this mean that FA officially sucks more than Sheezy Art?
    1. *capntsubasa

      Comment from *capntsubasa, 1 month ago (#93707)

      Nothing could suck that bad! I had an account on Sheezy Art for about two months and let it go to seed because of upload problems and just plain lack of interest...

      Anyway, have a great 4th tomorrow!

    And many great "ka-BOOMS!!!!" to you too, sir! Just hopefully not in your hand, 'cause I don't think that even a Hellboy-ish hand could stand up to that.

      Comment from *capntsubasa, 1 month ago (#93709)

      Nah, I'm pretty careful with explosives, even small ones, based on some near misses in the military...

      Speaking of Hellboy, I'm looking forward to seeing "The Golden Army." Lppks interesting!

      Have a marvelous 4th CW!

        My 4th was OK. I had to work it (can't get every holiday off when you work at a mental health facility). Plus my hometown had their fireworks cancelled due to all the flooding the area's gotten. But we made the best of it.

        Hellboy does look great. So does Batman, and Hancock, and Wanted. I just watch WAAAAYYYYYYY too many movies.

          I was told Hancock was good, though I haven't seen it... The critics hated it, but who believes them?

          Sorry you had to work the 4th... I got the day off, but I'm sure I'll pay for it tomorrow with an inbox full of mail and stuff to do...

          Anyway, thanks for the comment!

            One of my friends saw Hancock over the weekend, and he said it was OK. So that could mean thet it had some really good parts, or that it was just good enough. I never really know how to take his reviews. Just avoid Meet the Spartans. *shudders* It was HORRIBLE!!! *shudders again*

              Spoofy movies like "Meet the Spartans" can be either really, really good (Blazing Saddles or Spaceballs) or really, really bad (Hot Shots). Thanx for the advice on Meet the Spartans though... I was gonna rent that this weekend...

                Glad I saved you the agony that I suffered. I tend to agree with the website Rotten Tomatoes, and they rated it a big fat ZERO!!! The only good line in it was a face-off between Leonidas and comp vs inner city kids in a "your mamma" insult contest; Leo's line is "Your momma is so hairy, the only language she speaks is WOOKIE!" *makes wookie sound* Otherwise, they go waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy past the point of funny with how they beat a gag into the ground, and then keep beating on it. Then, just for fun, they keep beating on it some more. Lousy.

    I'm sort of disappointed in FA now too. I figured it would go down again eventually but I at least thought that it would be for a while yet. Not like a week after their latest down period.
    1. *capntsubasa

      Comment from *capntsubasa, 1 month ago (#93714)

      Yeah, if folks where I work had their track record for "system uptime," dozens of people would have been fired long ago. It's pretty pathetic, but, the way I look at it, we still have the community here!

      Thanx and have a wonderful 4th!

      That it happened during AnthroCon weekend was a shock to me.

    Yeah, I noticed that Fur Affinity was done AGAIN. This is fairly regular now, especially during their last major downtime they promised that it would never happen again after these new adjustments. Fur Affinity, is just a Fail these days. Not an "epic fail" but just a fail.
    1. *capntsubasa

      Comment from *capntsubasa, 1 month ago (#93717)

      Concur. Had the server crashed, caught fire and exploded, that would have been epic... As it is, it's just annoying...

      Have a great 4th weekend!

        I've been reading the message boards, they're tossing around the idea of paid membership. I don't think I'll be returning if that becomes a realtiy. Furry Art Pile is free and more reliable, they'd be making a huge mistake with that idea.

        You have a splendid 4th yourself. For a Patriot like me, this day holds extreme importance.
