Please don't do this childish, petty crap that everyone does whenever someone brings up how they donated.
"YOU DIDN'T PAY SO YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"
"I donated money."
"HOW MUCH?"
"*amount*"
"NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE A RIGHT TO BITCH"
This is always ALWAYS how it goes. Whether it's that harsh or not.

Agreed 100%. sadly, i could not donate since i am flat out broke and don't have a job(im 16 BTW and there were like 0 jobs avaible in my area). But i am glad people donated to the site, but some of them don't have a right to say, "YOU DIDN'T PAY SO YOU CAN'T SPEAK!!!" BS. We love FA as much as you do you know? What makes you so special then us? Cause id love to hear a answer back from you people.

Eh, I hope they keep it down just to torture you all more. -smiles- ^^

I'll be drawing some more pictures to upload, and looking for a job. I'm sure the admins here have jobs besides regulating FA.

Just FYI. That's all fine and good for a hobbyist and a fan, but believe it or not, some of us earn a significant chunk of our income doing commissions through this site. My business has been CRIPPLED for the last month. Yeah, easy enough for you to say, 'tra la la, go enjoy the sunshine!" But how would you feel if your JOB disappeared for a month? And no one could tell you when it would be coming back? Hmm?

Well, that does suck. But perhaps you should not rely on a single website that you do not own to front your buisness? Have you thought about posting on other sites with good readership, which are soaking up a lot of the pageviews that normally go to FA? FAP and Fchan, as well as hopefully your personal site and any other anthro-related forums are good places to start.

Regardless of how much it does suck, it really is your own fault for relying on any free or near-free service. So suck it up, man.

Okay, I'm reading page 5 of this thread, and click on page 6, which would have been the last page of the thread.

Nope, now there are 7 pages of "BAWW". I read through page 6, and click on page 7.

Now there are 8 pages. Read that, click on page 8.
Now there are 9 pages. Read that, click on page 9.
Now there are 10 pages. 10 pages of BAWWW WAHHH MY PORN ISN'T BACK.

It's kinda sad, if this site is ALL you have. Really, it's SUMMER TIME. I'm sure many people who have complained in this thread are underaged kids on their break from school. Go out and have fun! Ride your bike, visit friends (provided you have any off the internet), go swimming to beat the heat. Your life shouldn't be all "internet porn, email, stay inside house because I'll burn up outside". You won't burn up. I've got the whitest skin in my family, I went to the beach with friends, and I got sunburn on all parts of my body that were uncovered by my trunks.

IT WAS WORTH IT. A small price to pay for going out and being with friends. Took a week or two for the pain to go away but it beats staying inside hitting F5 all fucking day. Really, you should try it.

I'm sure once I've hit the "reply" button, this'll be on page 11. Or 12. Wouldn't be surprised if it was on 13, either.

Well thank you Yak and all other admins for working so hard on getting the site up, It must suck since you guys work regular jobs to survive, then spend all your time trying to fix FA. I, and I'm sure there are others, who are grateful for all your hard work. I'll be glad when FA is back, but take a little rest! a lot of people here don't have to deal with getting a huge website back online...so don't worry too much about people whining about it! People need to understand that there are always setbacks in life.

Ah well.. Another day without FA, It doesn't worry me too much. It's gonna give me more time to finish the book I'm reading, and to focus on my Uni studies abit more(Nah)...

And I can't say I'm too pissed at the delay. If it had been for some trivial reason, then by all means the fur's here should tear the Admins apart paw by paw... but it's not... The guy just needs a rest...

Look this may have been said already here(I don't have the time to read them all) But Yak does alot of work to keep this place going smooth.. and I'm sure he'd like nothing better than to see that work come to ahead ASAP..

Neer, Yak & Co are not sitting back at their homes drinking and laughing at us.. I'm sure they would like nothing better than for their site to be back up...

Okay, can I offer some advice? The donations were like what....$16,000? Wouldn't it be well within budget to hire someone to get the site up if you all are so tired? I was being very patient, but I must admit after over a month...I'm starting to become a bit frustrated. Just an idea. I'm sure the several extra thousands of dollars left over after purchasing the equipment should be more than enough to cover hiring some help.

BINGO! That's EXACTLY what I have been saying

enough of this "your bawwwwing" BS. i know you guys love FA as much as we do and im glad for that. but seriously, don't bring retarted 4chan memes on here. This is FA, not /b/, ebaums, or SA, the asshole of the internet(although im over at /b/ alot of the time XD. ahh good times).

~Chuckles~ Oh my!
You know, it is quite amusing how chaotic this place can get over a deadline, indeed it was said that today FA would be back online, but come on people! false hope is a common thing in everyday life nowadays. Anyway, I see name dropping here and ban threat there, really entertaining indeed.
FA will be back, when is back period.
Though something to keep in mind is all those sweet people that donated to get this site running again, you would want any of them to think they had been robbed or some other nonsense like that right?.
Just to clear things up, I didn't donate.

Just a friendly word of advise, play your remaining cards right.

Sit back and enjoy the show gentlemen.

I just got back from the colo moments ago. While we are still slated to get the site online ASAP once yak recovers. We are not talking days, weeks or months in addition here, people. Everything's just about ready to go. Yak just wants to be online and fully rested before he fires it up so that if anything does go wrong he can be there to hammer it out.

In addition, we found out Bahamut server officially shit itself over the course of the weekend. Which is good, because we were able to pull all of the data off of the server and migrate it over. Bahamut server is currently sitting on my kitchen table. We're gonna going to try to rig it up and pull everything off if it we can just as an additional backup.

The timing of getting Trogdor online was just in the nick of time. =)

As a Goon myself, I have to say that SA is leagues better than eBaums world and /b/.


For god sake people, stop reading GBS, FYAD, YCS, and LF. Of COURSE you'll see nothing but trolls and assholes.

Note that I was never a professional PHP/HTML/MySQL/Javascript programmer. I have learned enough to code my own sites, but never built a site with nearly the bulk transfer this one demands. It's not so much the coding that is at issue here, it's the ability to configure the server to work with the coding. The script should be portable to new server that has a standard HTTP configuration. It's also the ability for the database to keep up, so you need to make SQL calls as effective as possible. I suspect they upgraded the PHP and SQL engines and are now experiencing computability issues with the script.
