OH GOD WHAT.

>>36852
You know you want some of that imported Canadian Moose Jerky. >:D

>>36855

Mmmm, lolarbear meat...

Tough decision, neh?

Jess is the new Crystal. Begin populating FA with her image NOW!

Also, wtf is wrong with you?!

I'd regret drawing it if I wasn't laughing so hard.

>>36914

THIS ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL!

>>36925

You're right, it's not funny, it's awesome

Updated the image storage area - http://dammitfreehaven.com/photo/ - and added Miranda Leigh's ad to the rotation.

Man, we need some CSS for the image storage area.

I REGRET NOTHING!

>>37444

Hello, Mr. Boyle.

I was bored, so I drew this.

>>37595

It's supposed to be flipped.
My Mac messed up the orientation.

>>37595

thats some sweet drawing skills there, bro.

but why not just flip the image in photoshop?

>>37595

actually i fixed the image orientation for you, as well as adjusted the image quality and reduced the niose ^^

>>37600

I don't have photoshop on my Mac yet.
But I still tried to flip the image before saving it. Oh well.

I might draw Sechs next.

The 'Preview' program that comes with Macs (it's what pictures open in, by default) can flip an image. It's in the Tools menu. Photoshop not required.

iPhoto probably has useful tools also, though I don't have it on my Mac; I have an old Mac.

>>37696

Okay, here's the thing.

When I took the picture via PhotoBooth (the camera application on my Mac), the picture was flipped when I saved it. I went to Preview to flip it around, then saved it. When I uploaded it, I found what happened in >>37595.

Turns out, the picture automatically flips BACK when I open it with Safari.

Whatever.

anyone know wtf happened to FA?

Maybe Dragoneer jizzed on the server by accident?

>>38093

Primary fiber line at their datacenter's ISP got cut.

>>38095

What I find most entertaining is that this very same theory was postulated in one of the IRC channels I frequent. Apparently, if FA is down people everywhere automatically assume Dragoneer came all over the server.

>>38093
Seriously, get a Twitter. Dragoneer always posts updates on his Twitter and @furaffinity as to what's happening.

>>37819
Apple software saves the fact that you rotated it as metadata and doesn't ACTUALLY rotate it. Make sure after you've rotated the pic that you save it, and check it in a non-Apple app like GIMP or Photoshop.

>>38099
If I remember right, it's because the last time FA went down, Dragoneer made a joke that he had to clean the cum out of some servers from someone humping them.

>>38099
It's better than lulz's fallback conspiracy "FAGONEER CUT TEH SERVERS BECAUSE OF HOLIDAY TRAFFIC LOLOLOLOLOL"

>>38105

Or "The servers have been party vanned because of cub/zoo/furry porn!"

Pic I *technically* started months ago, but only just today got around to doing the actual final lineart, coloring, etc. I'll post it to FA as soon as FA comes back up.

The world does not have enough "Nude Sechs with Banhammer"/"Sechs holding hand in front of her mouth" pics. :V

Lulz is one to talk. They cut their /share/ section because people were spending more time on their than anything else, leaving more b-tards to clog up the board with inane topics. Now it's all inane topics.

>>38150
Very nice!

For all the people asking about FA:

>>38150

The banhammer and Mandalorian insignia do seem to have become my unofficial identifying characteristics.

Awesome pic, thanks!

>>38254

The FA Livejournal estimates monday.. D:

>>38288
Look at it this way: Would you rather it not come back until sometime mid-January 2010?

>>38294

Uh... wat?
Srsly?

>>38295
Really, things can always be worse. Be grateful it's only Monday and not next year. :D

>>38309

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens, FA-Downtime is like Valve-time. So it's 'Monday-ish'.

FA is seemingly nearing "online again" status; apparently, all they need now is badge access to the colo.

Well we all knew they where going to ask for hand outs
and now paypal just told FA to stop using them

>>38495
That happened several months ago.

>Dear @furnation, the @furaffinity Paypal was shutdown earlier this year. We didn't blame you when ours went don't. Don't blame us.

http://twitter.com/Dragoneer/status/6471339066
>@Rhaenpony We had jack all to do with that. Hell, our ability to use Paypal donations was removed by Paypal earlier this year.

>>38495
Have you not read the LJ? Preyfar posted it clearly, in bold text: They are NOT asking for, nor do they need, donations for this issue. They stated that extra $$$ won't do anything, this is just about time and a bit of work. And in fact, they claim, the new setup should cost 25% LESS to run. I've been reading the LJ posts, and the only thing even close to whining was something about "Aw, crap, I'm out of energy drink, gotta go get more" (In essence "This is gonna take time, I need to go buy more stay-awake products").

Get your facts before you think "FA is down again? I don't even have to look, they're begging for money. They must be because they always do".

I swear... Some furries hear ANYTHING out of someone's mouth besides an artist saying "Here's all my art, free, forever" and interpret it as either "Give me money for free because I want it" or some form of "BAWWWW!".

What is said: "FA is offline, fiber lines crapped out, servers and FA itself are fine, we're fixing things as fast as possible"
What is heard: "BAWWWWW!"
What is said: "Money won't help this, we don't need donations, and the new arrangement will cost significantly less"
What is heard: "Everyone send us a hundred dollars now or FA will never be up again, sob whimper pity cry"

FA is up. Everyone go spam refresh on it and crash it.

>>38567
Yes sir!

>>38541
Quite excellently put.

Okay, this thread's gotten past the bump point, and that's when I promised myself I'd lock it. Gonna unsticky it in a little while, too - possibly to make room for a new attentionwhoring thread. We'll see.
