Title: Welcome back, FR!
Post by: BentonGrey on December 21, 2020, 02:38:01 AM
Hooray!  The board is back, and the best community on the Internet is back with it!  Welcome back everyone!   :yipee :yipee

I hope you're all doing well and that this year hasn't been too hard on you, though it was a tough one, no doubt about it.  We've almost made it to the end, though. 

How is everyone doing?

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting in major anxiety for this site to come back!

Yeah, me too, Neros!

Dean, glad to hear you're doing good, and I'm excited to see your new work!   :D Let me know if you want to do any DCUG stuff.

Welcome back FR, glad to see things are working again.

Been away for a long while, and would love to get back in touch with some of the old timers if they are still around.

Hi Guys, been away far too long, and it's great to drop by and see FR is still here. Looking forward to hanging out when time permits.

Yay! It's back. Seeing all these old veteran members of the community pop out of the woodwork almost makes the downtime worthwhile.

YUP, one of the reasons I've never bothered much with social media, I've got what I need right here!  :wub:

Hey, I know I mostly lurk now and have pretty much always kept from commenting in the General Discussion area, but Happy New Year everybody!
Even though there's less activity these days, I have always come here first for superhero media related news, and just to see what's kicking, and I'd miss it a lot if it was forever gone. Whenever that happens.

I hope everybody is staying safe, staying sound, and doing alright in these troubled times, and getting at least as much enjoyment from these forums as I have.
Take care.
Title: Re: Welcome back, FR!
Post by: BentonGrey on January 08, 2021, 12:43:03 AM
I'm always glad to see you, Unko!  We're glad you're still hanging around!

Indeed, Jim, indeed!  I love FR, and things haven't been the same without it.

So on a broadly related topic, I'd like to let everyone here know that as of the last week or so, my neck of the woods is currently experiencing recurring instances of widespread internet outages that in some cases last several hours, so if I go absent from here for a noticeably unusual amount of time, that would be the reason why. This fact, FR's recent outages, and of course, the current year and chance being what it is, are specifically the reason I'm posting a LOT right now, in case anyone's wondering.

Post by: docdelorean88 on January 13, 2021, 02:21:02 AM
So Glad to see everyone! The real world has kept me away from these parts for far too long, mainly because my fiancé and I purchased our first home( you know, during a pandemic, and right before the holidays, because buying a house isn't challenging enough as is). Seeing the construction message always leads me to panic, but certainly more this time after realizing how long I had been gone. So glad to see everyone again. :)

*checks pulse* Yup, I'm still alive and kicking. 2020 was a HELL of a craptastic year for me and SO I'm very much keeping a positive vibe going into 2021.

So many things I'm trying to deal with quickly early this year to move forward with my life and starting up my projects into full swing again.
Glad the site is back and having folks here to talk with.

Hey everyone. Glad to see to see the site is up. Just popping in to say "hello". Special shout out and thanks to Sick Alice - I just saw that he had backed up my meshing tutorial with all pics, and that a number of users have found it useful over the years. I was a bit disappointed to see my 'Thanksgiving' and 'Calvin and Hobbes' adventure threads no longer had pictures with them. They were a lot of work and a lot of fun to do.

Just a reminder, I give everyone permission to do what they like with anything I have posted. Now that the yahoo groups are gone, I'll pop in now and then to see if anyone needs something I've done that they can't find.

Everyone by well and safe.

RD

Welcome back, RD!  I'm glad to see you back!

Do you still have your Yahoo Group content?  I'd like to get all of those imports you did.  I've got the fish ones, but there are other things I'd like to store away for when and if I need them.
Title: Re: Welcome back, FR!
Post by: Randomdays on January 16, 2021, 06:22:34 AM
They were all backed up on some CD's and a SD card. Hopefully the data is still good. If it is, I'll try to put them all up on a Mega Page.

Hey, Just a heads up.  The entry screen still says "We will be back soon!" Which implies the site is still down. So that should be changed or removed.

It hasn't ever gone down for good, so when it does go down, I just check back in a year or two.

It's always nice to check back home every now and again ;)

Bumping this again. The landing page for the site still says the site is down, potentially deterring traffic. It needs to be removed.

 You might want to send Stumpy a PM on the matter. I'm only a Mod, so the only thing I can do deals with posts made on the boards. Any behind the scene work needs someone with Admin privileges and knowhow. (Both of which I am happily blonde on.... err pink... purple... you get the idea. )

Ah but its great that this place is still here!  Hello familiar old-timers and unfamiliar newcomers. 

Of course its so long since I've been here that many my newcomers may themselves be old-timers at this stage.  This is how it goes after all.
