I'm not taking either side personally. As far as i'm concerned this is just one more chapter in the furry drama book.
Congrats guys, we'll have a book of world records page for us soon enough.

It appears everything is back up for the moment. Either an agreement was made, or Alkora has been watching the forums and noticed that... well, we got around that little DNS hijack, and nothing was accomplished.
2.) ?????
3.) Lulz. Nuthin' but lulz.
Actually, if you replace "goatse" with "craptastic load of advertisements" and "Lulz" with "Revenue", it stays true.

Strange how there's always two sides to a story. Looks like there's some missunderstanding going on somewhere.
There appears to be an agreement that an offer to sell the domain was made though--which is the issue. Can't really blame someone for asking if they need the money, but one could just turn down the offer. It's not like the name is that important or can't be changed.

I don't know much about what's going on or has been going on with the site (heck, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the current sandwich obsession), so I'm not taking sides just yet.
However, I have to say. Holding the website hostage? Freaking awesome move. I thought for sure he would win this battle. Seriously, Jark on DA should've taken an approach like that.
But then it turns out, the "owner" only actually owns the domain name. And someone pulls out a direct link to the server, oh-ho! Another brilliant move. Workaround FTW
It's pointless to be staff on a website that won't work, but then it's also pointless to bring a site down if someone else is controlling the servers. Assuming what I've seen here is accurate, Dragoneer would absolutely pwn Alkora in court; owning a domain name doesn't give you rights to any data or coding used under that name, if you don't own the servers.

I'm taking that journal/chat log with a grain of salt. Alot of that stuff doesn't add up at all for me and seems completely twisted/biased.
My issue with that log is that I wasn't face to face with the person who was talking, so I wasn't able to monitor body language and ask the questions that would draw out more truth or cause the person to trip over a suspected lie.
I just don't trust it.

Am I supposed to be surprised by this? I've watched Jheryn's idiotic trips in the past when FA was up and down, and I can tell as good as anyone with half a brain that he has no push in this particular dramatastic situation. I don't believe a damn thing he's saying in that chat log, and the fact that Pave basically said he's going to manipulate all the people who +watch him, his boyfriend, and some of his "inner circle of artists" is pretty disgusting to me. I've watched mindless furries surrender their opinions to any random asshole who happens to be a great artist simply because they are great artists, so I know as well as he apparently does that it'd work and get people on the fattyfatfat's side.
Man I hate furries.

There's a lot of people who will blindly take sides and jump on bandwagons during arguments or controversy without understanding or caring what they're supporting.

Well I figured Alkora would pull the gather up all my friends against Dragoneer thing as that's what he did the last time. -rolls eyes- Well let's just be glad FA is back up and we don't have to leave and go to FAP. Cause I bet that's where we'll all end up if FA does go down for good. Which I doubt.

Black Mold ain't cool. We had it on our bathroom counter once when I was 8-ish. We got sick from it.
The counter was totally replaced and we got a fan put in to stop the moisture.

Dragoneer doesn't own the servers himself, hence why they are called 'Co-owners'.

They already own a backup domain, so I wouldn't worry.

I must disclaim that I'm not 100% sure that this was Jheryn or someone with a similar name, but...
Either Jheryn or someone with a name similar to that was kicked out of one of my friends' apartment in the Twin Cities area last year for not getting a job and paying his share of the rent, and for messy housekeeping.
If it was him, then the lack of money and abundance of black mold is probably his doing, and he has no excuses.

Furnation seems to be doing something very similar. They've always been really cool to me.
I used to just look at stuff on usenet all the time. It worked fine enough. Seems any time you get someone owning a forum, you end up with people forcing their opinions on others and causing a lot of anger and frustration. No one owns usenet.( http://www.tigress.com/furrynet/ )
And you could always just put stuff on your own site and share links with everyone.
